If your phone have a blacklisted IMEI its either because:
a) Reported lost/stolen
b) Unpaid bills
Which in both situations means that you do not own the phone
Asking help for changing IMEI # is the same as asking help to change a car VIN #
Could someone help me change the VIN number of this stolen/unpaid car so I can use it?
Does it sound legit? Changing IMEI is illegal in some countries and afaik it is in USA and UK so better to check the law in your country first.
Btw, Im not trying to say that you have stolen that phone.
Thread closed. Changing the IMEI is illegal and had you followed the rules you would know that no talks about it are allowed here.

Good afternoon!
I looked at other post before creating this, I have a Razr D1 fo the IMEI blocked, tried a few methods I found on the forum and could not, have some other specific method to change the IMEI of the same?
Isn't changing your IMEI illegal?
And your IMEI is blocked, have you stolen your phone or something?

It is a risky process and it is also illegal to change your IMEI in many countries, my advice is to wait

Hi guys, I have a at&t htc one x that I bought about 2 years ago.
My country laws don't let us use phones that bought from abroad. We need to pay about 50 dollars (which I did last year) to allow to use the phone legally. Somehow when I back to my country 2 days ago, I saw that my phone has blocked once again now I can't use the phone This shouldn't be happen because I followed the legal procedure and I have to use the phone forever in my country.
Anyway I won't pay once again even if I won't be able to use the phone. I have a imei number from my old htc hd2 (I don't use that phone anymore) If I can replace imei numbers I will keep using my phone without problem.
Can I change my at&t one x's imei number somehow? My phone is rooted but I don't have any idea about how to change imei
Thanks for help!
Nobody here can advise you what to do in your situation fire a few reasons.
1. Changing the IMEI of a device is illegal in any country.
2. Attempting to subvert any law is strictly and specifically forbidden by XDA rules.
3. Any member attempting to break any law, or assisting another prison to break any law, is subject to severe repercussions.

The issue is likely because he has one of those IMEI's that is tied to a specific carrier that the carrier doesn't want to turn loose. (For example, my S7 has an IMEI that is tied to VZW due to it being a device that was sold ONLY by VZW in the US - and as a lot of us have pointed out, an IMEI is unique to the specific phone; you have more control over a phone number than you do your handset's IMEI - and a locked IMEI will not accept a ported number. I can't take my locked IMEI (handset) to Tracfone, even though the handset is otherwise compatible with the VZW side of Tracfone's network (in fact, when it was in service, it was a VZW handset) because VZW has the IMEI on lockdown.

Hi
I am not judging , I am not even saying if you should or not .... I am saying is ilegal to change the Imei number of your phone whatever the reason maybe.
ALWAYS backup your EFS folder, no matter what phone u have., and then save it on ur PC.

Changing IMEI discussion is not allowed on XDA, even if it's not for bad intentions, we do not allow "things which will obviously lead to legal trouble":
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.

So i accidentally purchased a financed lg stylo 5 from sprint. I got it off craigslist and the only contact method was via craigslist automated email link. So there is no viable method of contact with the previous owner. I purchased this phone to use my qlink wireless account on. It is compatible but has "financial obligations" preventing me from activating it. Talked to sprint, they said theres nothing i can do if i cant get ahold of the previous owner. So im wondering, can i root/wipe/flash the OS or something along those lines and basically remove the brain of the phone and install a new one, and then use it? Would that help? Is there some variation of this idea that would help? Or is there any other way i could make this phone usable? (Unlocked) im not super experienced with this kind of tech, but im a quick learner and i can figure it out if someone knows of a method i can look into.... Help!!??

It depends. If the "financial obligation" is due to the device being blacklisted due to the previous owner not paying the bill, you will not be able to activate the device unless the previous owner pays the bill and the carrier removes the device from blacklist. If this is what you are dealing with, the thing that is preventing you from activating is not in the device, it is in the carrier network that the previous owner had service with, this is why there is nothing you can do from your end.

Discussion of changing IMEI in order to activate a device is not allowed here because it is illegal to do that in a lot of places. Please do not discuss criminal procedures here.

There's certainly nothing against the swap of a SIM from one phone to another but the IMEI is not connected to a SIM but to a device.

it's seems I can get everyone to respond to everything but a solution to fixing my phone.... but, sense we're nit picking.., all CDMA networks, and metro PCS Sims, are registered to the phones imei number, you can't take a metro PCS, or sprint Sim and use it on any other phone except the phones it's registered too... hence.. it's... LOCKED..., to the the phone its registered to imei, plain and simple, I posted a question on how to fix my phone if anyone would like to help me on that instead of comment on everything else I've gave advice on, thanks
