i was having problems with my uscc GS3 on MJA so i was using dfs cdma tool and i seen the "NV" tab and there was a local / server box on the right.
when i clicked on server a big list of phones would show up.
i seen the exact same model so i selected it and flashed it.
which did repair my phone but now when i look in settings>more>about device>status>meid it shows it is different then the one in dfs tool program>general>meid which matches my sticker
im of course wanting the meid that is showing in about device changed to the original (correct) meid showing on my sticker
what do i do?

No one was sharing this technique, only trying to sell it.... I work in the cell phone/tech industry too (hxxp://benjamincomputerrepair.com) but if someone is competent enough to do it on their own, why not let them instead of being a jew?
note to admins: THIS IS NOT INSTRUCTIONS ON MEID CLONING, this specificly tells you to use noones meid except your own so this is not considered cloning by any means!!!!!
First of all, be sure to write value "01" to NV ITEM 0855 (I used DFS CDMATOOL) on both modems to enable QPST.)
Follow the directions in this post to change your MEID to the 9900 MEID that appears on your 9k modem (in nv_only mode, NOT the A100 meid in ruim mode). I used DFS's write button (after zeroing out and rebooting) instead of the "requestnvitemwrite meid 0x00#####" method. This post describes the A0XXXX MEID for some reason, but I used my 9900 meid.

How to Full Flash Htc Thunderbolt (Almost)!!!!!
You can skip the QXDM part and just use DFS to write 0 as your meid first, then write 9900 MEID (from your 9k modem) to the phone's normal diag port.
Also, DO NOT use any MEID other than one already found on your phone, or else it is a FEDERAL CRIME. No, im not joking, its call cloning and its VERY illegal.
amft from cricketusers.com said:
If you connect to the 9K diag port in CDMA WS 3.5+ and read you should get an actual MEID, this can then be used as the MEID on the account.
I would suggest doing this before the Data settings above.
The problem comes in because the Thunderbolt has two radios (hence the two ports) and the 1X and/or Voice radio only has an IMEI.
If you use QPST EFS Explorer you can add a directory named 'opensesamedoor' and it will unlock the NVM folder, this allows you to copy NV item 0 and 1943 to your desktop (drag & drop) and then delete them from the phone.
Use a hex editor to edit the two files changing any numbers or letters to zeros. After editing the files you can right click in the folder and add them back from the computer.
After a manual reboot, open QXDM and type 'RequestNvItemRead Meid' if it shows zeros type 'RequestNvItemWrite Meid 0x00XXXX' <-your Meid.
Reboot manually and your Thunderbolt should have it's actual Meid under the About Phone menu.....
I'm not responsible for any damages to your device.
I haven't tried the conversion method but I'm sure it works too.

Then dial *#*#4636#*#* and set your mode to CDMA/LTE EvDo auto (settings may vary for different roms/people), and under wireless and networks, your mode to CDMA Only and roaming to Automatic.
I'm using 45722.prl
You must set your APN's correctly! And to remove Verizon's restrictions on your APNs, I deleted "mandatoryapnlist.txt" in the EFS, I also deleted the LTE folders in my EFS.
BE SURE TO WRITE ALL SETTINGS TO BOTH MODEMS, and put your 9k modem in HDR mode, and the normal modem in CDMA IS2000 mode.
(use
cdmatool.com
DFS CDMATOOL and QPST EFS Browser (google "QPST 355 mediafire" without quotes to find a direct link to QPST (should be first result)
From there you follow the any normal flashing tutorial, except for the changes I mentioned above.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU F*CK YOUR SH*T UP, OK?! FOR ALL I KNOW YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR SH*T BUT YOU BETTER NOT BLAME ME.
edit: I know your MEID may have appeared the same/similar before, but for some reason doing this stops your 9k meid from switching.....
Heres a little treat, MR2.5 MDM9K Patched for 3g, I patched it myself with a hex editor, but credits go to either some chinese dude who posted this fix or the guy who posted this in the thunderbolt thread at cricketusers.

I have been able to get 3g and calls and text working but call will drop and are breaking up. I was only able to get the nvm folder unlocked on the regular diagnostic modem with the a000 meid but not the 9k modem with the 9900 meid and was wanting to know if thats why my phone is acting the way it is.
I have tried using cdma auto prl and cdma- lte/evdo auto but still doesnt help. When I bought the phone it didn't come with a sim but had a few around and I have to have them in in order to make a call but the signal keeps droping in and out and very choppy. In order to unlock the 9k modem do I have to have the original sim? Any help would be awesome cause I am stumped right now and out of options

Thanks in advanced
I have a tremendous brain cramp. After days of toiling, I am stuck trying to get 3g to work. I have 1x. No idea what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help me?
Hi...I am using a galaxy note 5 which was bought from usa under verizon mobile phone company which I believe to be unlocked since I can use my local sim carrier in this device. The problem is that.... I am facing with software update. You see the software update option is very much supposed to be in this pattern.....
settings>about device>software update.
But I am seeing the software update option directly inside the settings option, right underneath 'about device' option rather than seeing inside 'about device' option which really confuse me. And also upon clicking on software update which is located underneath about device (ofcourse -_-) Says that 'software update is temporarily unavailable'.
And 2nd issue is I cant find this device's imei number. Of course I know the procedure of finding imei number which is open dial pad and dial *#06#. But when ever I dial *#06# the dial pad remain unchanged rather than popping up the imei number.
Please guys help me out with this issues
its begun all of a sudden
i have try to replace sim . i have checked anntena connections inside the phone.
also i have flushed older version of stock android.
nothing helps
anybody have any idea?
Is it possible the phone has been blacklisted?
it was purchaced in usa and i do not live in usa
I understand but if the carrier subscribes to the blacklist database, that may be a possible explanation.
i do not know how to check if its blacklisted
Open the dialler, type *#06# and enter the imei here: https://swappa.com/esn
When I try to find the SN of my Galaxy s8 + (G955F) I can not find it by dialing * # 06 # or in the settings, the device information shows something that is not the SN. Can someone who knows the subject help me?
It's right there the circled numbers. That's your serial number.

If the serial number is not the same as on the box that it came with the device, then it's not.

According to Z3X Tool the circled numbers of the image is the Unique Number, not serial number, I do not know why it shows it instead of the serial, also on the back of my cell phone it shows another one that is the same as the box mobile phone.
i have S8+ G955FD Dual Sim & my phone show both IMEI & SN number i don't know why your phone not showing SN number in box maybe samsung change it not to show in IMEI box for your model or maybe there is a bug case this
My phone has stopped logging to mobile network recently and I have found out it has incorrect IMEI number: 350000000000006.
I would like to change it to the correct number that is printed on the phone cover.
I have rooted the phone, installed Xposed and Device ID Changer Pro. The app says the number has been modified and displays correct one, but when I use *#06# it still displays incorrect IMEI as above. Also logging to mobile networks is still not active.
The phone is Galaxy S6, Android 7.0. It has been purchased some 2 years ago as used phone. I suppose I should contact the seller but I don't think I can reach him any more.
Does anybody know why there is mismatch between what Device ID Changer shows compared to *#06#?
Take note that Android's Device ID ( to be correct: ANDROID_ID ) isn't same as IMEI: 2 totally different things.
FYI:
Android_ID is a 64-bit quantity that is generated and stored when the device first boots. ANDROID_ID is not unique for an Android device, it even can be NULL.
The IMEI number is your Android device's own identification number - what contains origin, model, and serial number. There isn't one device that has the same IMEI number as another device

I understand that. Device ID changer gives an option to update both, and a few more.
One more question: should I be able to request Samsung to revert the IMEI to the original one?
No.
You can't fix IMEI using the app.
You can just spoof ID using the app.
