hello all,
most of you know me, i only reach out for help when i am stuck. i have a TP2 (sprint world, oli unlocked, etc) and i changed the esn and every other aspect of the phone to match a broken TP2 i have that is subscribed to sprint and it does now work, voice, txt, data, etc but i am stumpt on the IMEI???
i tried all of the half brained ideas i have found online, does anyone have a 1st person tested method to repair the IMEI on rhodium world?
thank you in advance
cheers,
disco
I dont think you can change the IMEI if that's what you are asking! I think it is illegal as well to change it...

Why and who cares, like they're going to arrest you for dumplicating the IMIE onyour phone.
I'd do it in a heartbeat if I could.
I have never heard of it being illegal before, but I have never, in all my time in the mobile device world, seen a tool that could duplicate the IMEI number. You may be able to JTAG it and change the number, but I've never seen it done before. If you aren't familiar with JTAG, I would suggest that you not go any further until you are. It's not for the light-hearted.

I am very familiar with JTAG, I2c, ISP, etc and pulling and dumping/flashing BGA's etc. I was hoping there was a software method
not sure if i have any jtag info on HTC's but i will look.
thanks for the responses everyone

Yep. IMEI is hard coded into the device. I don't have the memory addresses for you to find it, but if you do this, please share the results.

Is there any software or anything else for that matter can display the callers number even if they withhold it
I dont think so. If it isnt sent then you cant do much about it, there may be something that interrogates the exhange but I havent heard of it.
There is a piece of software however called Smart Filter, that lets you reject almost any variable of call, i.e. any with-held, or any not found in your phonebook, or any user in your phonebook you wish to set up etc.
Not the same as what you want, but it might help...
So where do you get this software from?

google for the rescue
Thanks for that.

My apologies for not including the link.
I just thought that typing "Smartfilter Pocket PC" into any search engine was easy enough that anyone could manage it.
:wink:

Someone somewhere must have cracked this, it's to clever for me and would not know where to start, surely everybody want's know who are ones making these type of calls and love to fire back to them with knowledge that they don't know how you found them.
Come someone from must be able to work what to do.

Many GSM providers offer such a service (identifying anonymous callers), called also "anti-CLIR". Check with yours, but registration is in general rather costly.

hello ppl .
i have broght a magician its works fine until now but for safety and want to know is is possible change de imei on s100
tnks
WOlfpt
it is actally against law to change imei.
if they catch u (which is very well possible), the experience won't be that good.
I think he was asking rather for technical than legal advice.
Always the same when someone asks that question... what a pity.

it is always better to tell the dangers first so as to prevent one of our friends from some trouble he was unaware of.
i certainly don't want anyone to mess things up just because he didn't know the hidden evils.
and by the way if i told how to, i come under a 'thief' tag and also discussing illegal stuff is not actually allowed on this forum, u might be knowing being senior to me.
peace
I used the two years I've been using the HTC Sensation XE.
I live in Turkey.
Began to ear is different cloned bought a sim card in the device IMEI warning.
How can I have a new device IMEI.
I'm very ignorant about this can you help me?
Many thanks in advance
No one does that might help about changing the IMEI

Changing the imei is illegal the only "legal" way is by a new or used motherboard.

I would first thank you very much.
The device postpaid my legal property.
I can't use in my country for buying from abroad.For this reason the imei number of the phone, I want to change.
Sadly, in my country we have very high tax rates that have sepele modification implant devices imported from abroad.
358 persons read this great forum topics but did not help anyone

Again.. it is illegal so thats why no one post a solution. Use google n search urself and find a solution.
If u find a way to change the imei, then what imei number r u going to use? Each phone has its own imei number so if u change it thats called cloning and thats the illegal part.
Apparently I need to go to a service to get my EFS files back. I downgraded a ROM and that caused me to lose my IMEI & baseband. Unfortunately I was not aware that TWRP does NOT back these up , despite it claiming to backup EFS. Anybody able to help me with this? Do you know anybody trustworthy that can help me with this in the Stockholm area of Sweden?
I'm sitting with a half-bricked phone on my table. I'm sure some of you have felt this "suckiness". I've had a pretty challenging past 24 hours. Any help is MUCH appreciated!

Have you tried restoring to what you had before you downgraded? Sometimes this restores the IMEI.

Yeah . It didn't work. I still get an empty folder. It's so frustrating because I thought TWRP does a full backup. I have all the partitions imaged, including efs, but apparently that's not REALLY the efs. Very annoying.
It's sad that none of the ROMs I read install instructions about (and I used at least 5 different ROMs during the past 4 years) said anything about backing up the efs as a step to be done immediately after rooting. This is obviously a super important step since it ends up in the user half-bricking the phone, needing to go to a shop to fix it. So here I am, with a broken phone on my table .

Well, there are methods of rewriting your IMEI with the original IMEI you had if you know that IMEI, is it on the sticker behind the battery?
Unfortunately, discussion of the methods to rewrite IMEI are not permitted at XDA but it can be done. I wish I could help you with specific information but I'd have to break the rules to help you.

Holy macaroni! You're right. I *DO* have the IMEI written there! I suppose such procedures could be used by thieves, which is why it's forbidden in the rules? Thing is, I have the original box of the phone along with the original back (I replaced it with a wallet cover) and I've been listed with this phone on Google Play for 2 years now . I think I have the invoice somewhere too, gotta do some digs for that .
I did find a thread on SAMMOBILE by one "mobilecrackers" that deals with this issue. There's some nv_data.bin file that is required apparently. Pretty confusing instructions though. I'm a bit scared to go into this, especially since he warns it's "illegal". *sigh* decisions decisions. Thing is, in Stockholm prices are ultra-high that is if I can even FIND a service I can trust.
Thank you for putting me one more step ahead. Maybe I should actually contact a phone thief to get this fixed, LOL .

There are professionals that can do it for you, I mean legitimate official professionals, some can even team view to your PC with the device connected to your PC and they can do it from where they are through your PC.
Hi there, I need your help,
I'll try to make a bootloader keygen, and for that, I need guys who already have your bootloader code for compare and find the algorithm
Just pm with your models, IMEI, serial and your bootloader code
If some dev Can help the project, pm me too
Hope it will work ?

There's another thread with this topic. You should contact these members. https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/how-to/bootloader-code-generator-huawei-p20-t3913213
You ask for some stuff dangerous to share. I don't really think someone will bring you these informations. I've already seen someone switch his IMEI, serial and much more with a computer and his main goal : steal an IMEI working and not blacklisted.
Another point, someone else already tried to make a keygen without success. Maybe you are right to try if you are honest, but IMO it's not possible to generate the unlock key because it's unique for each phone and not related to the IMEI (just a way to find your code in Huawei database when they could give us our bootloader code). I can say bullshits, because I am not really developer, but that's my opinion
Sorry if my English is sometimes bad
Ps: don't take this post like an agression, it's not. But we have to be careful with our expensive stuff

Non worries for your English speaking, I understood for the risk but for this is how the keygen is make, need to have a lot of database for compare and see how it's works
I already seen the older post, but I don't think it's the way
But, you just said something important, if a Huawei database exist and it's not a key generator, so someone know the URL for this database, and maybe this is why FH and others can't unlock for now
If someone have the information, please tell to us

I think a database is existing because there is no other way to find the right code for X phone. Except if Huawei generate it themselves, but it's not the case (bootloader code is in NVROM of each phone). At this point, I think they simply use the IMEI to make research and then copy/paste the right code for someone who asked for it before they stop the service.
If I'm right, we just have to find someone who know where these key's were placed, and hoping the database has not been erased.
You seems to be good. But I cannot help you more cause I haven't unlocked my bootloader. Good luck with that, Huawei made a very gigantic mistake by stopping to provide us our bootloader code. Their phones are just excellent, but lack of liberty

I don't think its a database type thing. Mostly because if you enabled dual sim, which modify's the IMEI if I remember correct, the code changes. Which would mean its somehow based off of the IMEI.
I could also be completely wrong, but I'm just thinking out loud!
Hello it would be really cool if you manage to create a bootloader keygen, thank you for your search
