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,

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.
I've spent way too many hours trying to root my Inspire 4g. I'm using the ace hack kit. Yes I've read the effen manual and yes I've searched the forum, along with google and other forums. I've rebooted, tried multiple times to run the hack kit, and it never makes it all the way through. I also tried the flash method. The phone now has busy box installed and fastboot shows up, however fastboot freezes and will not let me select recovery. Also, at the top it stills says S-ON. I realize it needs to say S-OFF, but I cannot find any way to correct it. It seems like the hack kit is not finishing the install each time I try it. I end up having to pull the battery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is your little help....go back and re-read the OP of the hack kit thread. You will see in that first post and also mentioned sseveral times on here that they have an IRC chat that is usually staffed at all times. Please read and ask them for help in the irc. We do not need 50 threads like this opened every week.
I got your 10 char right here

I've tried a few times to access the IRC already. I have no idea how to use it. I looked up tutorials for it and I can't find one. Little help on how to chat?

If you need help with the chatroom and are looking up tutorials.. rooting your phone is next level stuff and you should stop now. I'm not trying to be a jerk but seriously the chatroom is as easy as entering any user name, typing the verification code and hitting go. Stop now before you destroy your phone.

I'm capable of working a computer. I created a user name, logged into the chat, yet I can't type or select anything. I'm running a mac is that a problem? I've tried safari and firefox. I just need a little help. So far people trying to talk like they are better than me or compare the size of their manhood doesn't exactly help. I asked a question in the correct location on the forum and all I'm looking for is some answers. If putting me down makes you feel "cool" then congrats. Thanks to anyone who would actually like to help me out a bit with the issue.

Really? That's you're scathing retort, I'm just comparing manhood, thinking I'm better then you because I'm cool I have a rooted phone? Okay, you caught me? I confess. I'm sorry you got buttmad.
Let's start off with the basics, I notice you signed up in Feb 2011. That's about a year ago so I can understand you don't remember the rules you agreed to, which state you must search before opening a thread. I see your next comment coming, "but I did search, I stated I searched here and in other forums". O rly? I find it incredibly difficult to believe that you searched XDA and didn't come across a thread that pointed you to the IRC chatroom, because honestly that's where about 90% of these types of threads get referred to. That's the whole purpose for why Attn1 created it so that threads like this aren't created and that those who need help can get help immediately. Rooting is not a simple process, despite how easy Attn1 has made it, its also very easy to get jammed up. More times then not its user error from not reading enough. I'm willing to make that bet this is the case here as well since you didn't know there was an IRC chatroom, which is stated in the first post of the hack kit thread. It's laughable that this thread is going to turn into "please help me use the IRC chatroom".
BTW, I used the IRC chatroom a couple days ago using my Mac with no issue so its something you're doing or something your computer is doing, which is going to be pretty hard to diagnose from all the way over here.

I agree with the guys here. Before moving into the rooting direction, you always have to make sure that in case anything goes wrong you will be able to fix it. It has nothing to do with being a man or anything, what Bacon tells you is that in order to succeed you need to know what you are doing. Anyway, and before you panic, my guess is that your SD card is not working properly. Try a different card and it will probably work. That same thing happened to me, and still happens when I boot into hboot. Seems, that the stock sdcard has some issues to be read in bootloader.
But again, you shouldn´t argue with the guys here, the are 100% right, you must ensure you will be able to achive your goal before doing anything at all....
well said bacon. makes me think of "i can drive a car so i must be able to build one" when you get people like this.
I knew nothing about rooting when i came here, had pages and pages bookmarked with reading material. the 'what ifs' for when things go wrong, any error code that the hack kit spit out i googled and most cases brought me to a tutorial thread here. best case tho is irc, if you need help using irc then like bacon said, rooting a phone is much harder because if you cant search for something you sure arent going to be very good playing in linux.

hahahaha, agreed man. I understand that the OP has found himself in a frustrating position but while he says he searched and did the proper research, his actions say something different. We tell him where to look for the best advice possible and he can't figure out. This is a development site mixed with some help me and tutorial information but this isn't a hold my hand into the chatroom and explain how it works site.
Like you, I had no idea what I was doing at first..I believe Gene or CW gave me the best advice when I first started...Research better ya moron..come to think of it that sounds a lot like CW I keed I keeeed Chris, but seriously that comment has made the world of difference and the reason why I followed Chris to Absolution..the guy hasn't steered me wrong yet..except for the steelers. (too soon man?)

ya exactly. Heck this phone is a year old, very VERY unlikely to have an issue that hasnt already been seen and posted at xda. I miss the old irc days, back when ya used to have your own custom mIRC scripts to kick people or welcome back messages lol
Damn another thread of the same thing ...

you can't rain on my parade, I'm on the road to my fairytale!!!
I am in Greece and peel is not working with full specs. Can you suggest any other program for using my tablet as a remote with multiple tv's. i have 2 different tv's. (Samsung & LG)
this isn't any help to you, but i am also wondering this. Ha ha don't look at other country's with envy because that app is pretty terrible which is why I wonder if there are any alternatives.
If either of you had searched you would have found plenty of info in this very forum about the IR blaster on the tab2.
Shame on both of you.

Thanks for posting such a rude comment that didn't help either of us find an alternative application.
Shame on you for being so unhelpful.

shame on you for not bothering to spend a little effort and search for your answer. Asking others to do the simple leg work you could have done. THIS is why you get a snippy reply because in the time it took you to post and also reply back to a user you could have googled and xda searched.
i spent 10seconds and searched "ir remote app"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647605&highlight=ir+remote+app&page=2
there's your answer, now learn from this moment and understand not everyone in the world will go and get things for you, sometimes you have to do things for yourself.
We were all new at one point in time and XDA is huge and sometimes very difficult to navigate. A little guidance can go a long way in terms of respect and gratitude, especially from Senior Members.
guys, why so sensitive... let's be honest, it was an easy find. I'm a newbie too, and the first thing I found when I got my Tab 2, was Touchsquid. The Search feature is REALLY easy to access. And you can even search per-forum right away... now, nevermind the argument, click on that thread they gave you, it has lots of information about Touchsquid. Which is, by the way, a really cool app. A little unpolished in terms of interface and layout, but has a LOT of functions, compatibility, etc.
it's listing as $49 bucks here...seriously...$49 for a andriod app to use a ir sensor on our device.....hey, I'm not knocking them selling it for that, they did the work obviously...but why aren;t more developers doing it, if they can get that for it? People work their butts off making apps for like $1-$3/buy

Probably because the customer base isn't that large. I guess.
Sorry if I ask stupid things, so go easy on me.
I have tried a lot of APK's for printer from your phone/tablet, but they never really work 100% for me.
I'm not looking for a new app to try, i did i'm done with that.
Now I would like to build one myself, so I can get it just the way I like/need.
But I can't find ANY sites or youtube links that could help me get started.
Help if there is ANYBODY who can help me in any way. please.
I'm not good at coding but I do get around (sometimes after some **** ups)
Root file system - https://ibb.co/0DN4PR1
One of many, many suspicious files - https://ibb.co/VNGwr1S
I have been through numerous phones and the problems persist. It always starts with multiple Google authentication SMS texts. The a DCB authentication text. Then the entire file system end up looking like alphabet soup. I can't code but I can read, and I fear my device is affecting others devices. If anybody has knowledge in coding could you please take a look, especially at the second link I posted? There are files and folders that I know don't belong. Thanks.
this post is really strange, before requesting others to open suspicious links, what exactly are you asking for? this is fishy…
It's just screenshots., it's an image sharing site. I'm just asking if somebody can take a look at the code and tell me wtf is going on with my phone, and my life for that matter. Literally every single thing I own is ruined. I cannot flash, I cannot reinstall OS's. My router us fuct. It started in 2019 and I've been through more devices than I can count. I can't even begin to tell the story but it all dtarted when a guy that lived in my apartment hacked my S9 and gaming PC and was using the devices to order drugs to the residence.
I'm really just trying to find somebody, anybody that will look at what I'm looking at and try to find any sort of possible solution. My life has been completly destroyed.
Sorry for the rant, but, anyways, they're just large screenshots that are too big to post.
I think you would get a better response by actually posting the screen shot instead of posting a link. Especially after what you said your roommate used you account for. Nobody wants to click on a link that they have no idea what may happen.
