Unrooting doesn't delete your serial number so you may want to put a little more detail in the first post

Serial # question

I know that the serial number is crucial to be able to obtain root with the newer tablets being locked up for now.. Can you tell me if this is a newer series or a older build that will be easier to obtain root. This is my serial number first three #BBO.. Thanks for the help

HAHAHAHAHA we have another thread of similar jibberish on the x+ forum
Makes sense to me. I think what he's saying is: since unlocking his bootloader his imei has changed to a false number. And he's wondering if he can do a sim unlock even though he has a false imei number.

I was curious, I know its illegal to change your imei but we can pretty easily. And this kinda drives off topic
Couldn't somebody come up with a method to hex edit in a set imei that we know the unlock code for, unlock the phone and then restore the original imei

i think you guys dont understand.When i want to unlock i have to give my imei and im getting the unlock code through regeneratig it with a imei code.Willl the phone unlock with the fake imei. Im not sure if my imei changed.Can it?
Maybe the reason we don't understand is because you're not explaining it well enough. Sorry but you're not making much sense.
Are you trying to do a sim unlock? To change mobile carriers? If so, I don't think it will work if you supply them with a fake imei. It will not match the one they have on record, and that will raise suspicions.

I can guarantee you that trying to use your fake IMEI number to unlock the phone will end in disaster. You will need to use the ORIGINAL IMEI number that was programmed into the phone.
At this point in time, trying to unlock the phone using the original IMEI may still end in failure due to corruption of the MODEM partition. The way unlock codes work is that they are calculated using an algorithm which takes the IMEI number as an input or it is taken from a database (which would be cheaper and faster), if using the database method it would come back as not found and if calculated it would simply give you a unlock code which is not compatible.
how to check if my phone has changed it imei? Was there a chance the imei chcnaged while rootin unlocking bootloaderband having a custom rom.Thx
rooting , unlocking bootloader or flashing custom ROM won't change your IMEI. IMEI and unlock code both are different. For every locked phone ( say uniquely identified by IMEI ) an unlock code may exist..

Not true, one particular method we have to unlock our boot loader does infact change your imei. But it should change back to the original when you finish
There have been many reports of it changing

Thx for info but how do i check if my IMEI changed.
Look at the imei on your box, or the engraving on your simcard tray.
Just FYI, no method of rooting or flashing here has the capability of changing imei, except the unlock method that specifically states it will be doing so.

He is just saying by default it wont do it unless the method explicitly states it does in the instructions just saying dont count on it unless its said to change it in the instructions :good:
My IMEI number is all zeros, but I think the sticker on the back of the phone tell you what is originally was. It doesn't bother me, but I guess I'll take my case off one day and fix it. It really doesn't affect anything though once you're unlocked.
something tells me the OP has no business messing with the IMEI lol

You're probably right
Op: buy a code and try it out, if it doesn't work you are entitled to a refund

How are you getting serial number?
Apparently it can be different between your Mate 9 box and what you get in fastboot.
And try both IMEI, IMEI2 and MEID

You need to select Y300-0100, as it says in the guide. You input the same at Emui for Model.
But you are right, if it's frp locked you can't input anything.
What model do you use? xxx-LxxCxxx

What you mean. Make sure you're entering the Correct Code. I think Dload might work but first try to unlock your Bootloader

What did you do. That serial number is the fallback one when no serial number is found. Try to use DC Unlocker to get your code. However it will cost you 4$.

My amateur response, take out sim card and reboot, see that gets you your original IMEI.

Mobile is patched. Means its imei is changed.
Hi @riyaan1526, did you get a solution for this? I am facing the exact same issue.
Shouldn't the IMEI be on the back of the device for specific models?

You also try to Dial *#06# from your device. You'll should see your IMEI number displayed on your screen.
-- This option is a hit or miss on some Custom ROMs.
