Generic IMEI problem. Need help !!

Ok guys heres whats up. I just noticed that my IMEI turned into generic 004999010640000. Im not sure if this happened when i tried to unlock my phone with SGS_Unlock while i was on Froyo, or did it happened when i flashed ICSSGS rom on it. I dont know if product code is still okay since im running ICSSGS and i dont know how to check it ICS. Well, phone is working perfectly fine, texts, call, data, everything is fine, but im not sure if the phone is still unlocked and i dont have any other sim to check it. I need to use this phone in Europe in couple weeks, so this is really important to me right now. So here is my question(s) :
Is there chance that my phone is still unlocked and is theere anyway that i can check it?
Is there any way that i can restore my original IMEI and then try to re unlock the phone ??
Hope u guys can help, cuz if u dont, i dont know who can

Have you tried simply rebooting our reflashing? This happened to me once and a reboot cleared it up.

I had the generic IMEI number after unlock that is most likely the case with you. When you did the unlock did you back your efs data (nv_data.bin etc?)?

Enter *#7465625# with the dialer and if you see the following:
Personalization Status
Network Lock [OFF]
Network Subset Lock [OFF]
SP Lock [OFF]
CP Lock [OFF]
That means you're unlocked.

Flash back to a stock rom and see if it is correct then.
Best Case: It could be an error with how the ROM is reading the IMEI.
Bad Case: You're IMEI is borked but you made a backup of the original EFS
Worse Case: You never backed up your EFS but your .bak files in the folder are from the original date
Worst Case: You never backed them up, they're all the same date and your IMEI is toast
There are threads to possibly recover from the Bad and Worse case.
If it does end up being the worst case you can go to Mobiletechvideos.com and get the IMEI repair done by them. The owner is an XDA member and does a great job.
Take it from a guy who has tried just about every method out there to recover this on his own. If you don't have the backups you'll need to get it fixed by a professional.

You can try my video in case the intact nv_data.bin is still on your device. If not though you will need professional repair...

EDIT: One important thing to note is that the generic IMEI is not black listed by many carriers here in the USA but will misbehave with many stock firmwares and many other countries in Europe and Asia do indeed block access to that IMEI as it's common for stolen phones to have their EFS deleted in order to achieve this number. It also may only be a matter of time before USA carriers begin to blacklist this number as well as surely they must see 1000's of duplicates just like it on the networks daily.

[q] can t flash hspl to rhodiumw sprint

Hi everyone, it think now someone could help me
After my HTC TP2 verizon, they give me a sprint one. I've tried to flash hspl but it's impossible, tried flash stock rom, the process stopped at 1% and told me INVALID VENDER ID. I can put it in bootloader and it's shows RHOD400, 32M SS-BC SPL-0.63.0000.
when i boot it it stops on a black screen where it's written touch pro 2 test only not for sale.
How can i get it running? Please help me

Sounds like you got some developer model, perhaps the bootloader is different enough so HSPL will not work...
Why would Verizon give you a Sprint branded TP2...? That makes no sense whatsoever.

I've taken that with a friend, not verizon give it to me. So how can i try to flash hspl? please help me

Re-read my last post. It sounds like you got some special dev/test model, where the bootloader is different enough causing HSPL to fail.
I am not skilled enough to determine "why", all I can do is speculate off of the output you provided.

You won't be able to use a sprint device on Verizon service without some hacking too.
You will not be able to get the HSPL to work on this phone because it looks to see what phone it is before it unlocks it. With a develppment model there is no way to know what the id's being used are without hacking the phone.
The only way is if you could get the devs to edit the unlocker for you. Good luck with that. They don't even answer their help desk requests for this app at this point. It is abandon-ware as far as I can tell.
Just pick up a replacement off ebay for like $50, or use this one for parts and replace the system board from one with a busted screen.

What do you mean by development model, and where can i find the developper s site?

A development phone is one that is provided to a company before the official release of a phone for the purpose of debugging, and software development. It is usually labeled not for resale. These phones frequently are non-standard. You will need to contact HTC to find out what developer it was assigned to before you would be able to find out what the developer's site would be.
Best advice, just get another phone. You will not get this one to work unless you are a software developer and reverse engineer.

thanks

Please help me with my HTC ONE E8 Phone...

Hi there. I am new here to the site, so please help me with my problem..
I have an HTC One E8 phone and the unit is so interesting so I rooted it using kingroot. Apparently, the IMEI of the phone was "erased" after I successfully rooted it with the said app, making me unable to make calls or send text messages. I tried getting the IMEI on the packaging of the phone but it was tampered for unknown reasons (maybe one of my kids do tamper it! Hahaha :laugh: ) I also tried looking in to the solution myself online, and after a lot of research that I made, I found out that the best thing would be unlocking the bootloader first then flash TWRP and the a custom ROM so that it will work again. But, when I tried to go to the bootloader mode [pressing VOULME down button + POWER button] I got some sort of chinese characters, very different from the white bootloader screen that most of the HTC phones have. with these, I can't do anything else. I am so stuck right now so please help me with this. I definitely owe you a lot. Thanks for any suggestions.
NOTE: btw, the serial number of my phone is R21D95GAYVH. If you need more information so that you can provide me some solutions, I am gladly willing to give it anytime. :good:

LG-K30 (KM-X410MK) Bootloader unlock

Hi,
I'm very new to all of this, and I'm trying to root my LG-30 to recover deleted material. I've been able to reach the fastbooter, but when I try commands to do the unlock.bin, it says it doesn't exist....so then I copied the 64 digit device id and tried going to the LG site to get the key, but LG said it wasn't available for this model.
Soooo....knowing full well that I'm an idiot, could somebody walk me through if there is any way possible at this point to root the phone? If not, is there any other way to get deleted info?
Thank you so much!
JM

Sorry to break it to you but you can't unlock the bootloader. I don't think there's an exploit that patches the unlock.bin file and since LG isn't adding any more phones to support unlocking, the best you can do is wait for a new exploit or method out there.
EDIT: i kinda feel stupid responding to a 6 month post lol

Question s22 ultra tmobile flash HELP PLEASE

can anyone help me.
I have a s22u s908u tmobile locked unpaid. is it possible to flash it to global firmware?
will it remove the carrier restrictions?
does anyone has a tutorial for this problem?
thank you guys and more power.

You can Odin flash "unlocked" firmware, U1 as opposed to U firmware that is.
But it has zero affect on the status of your simlock status.
Also you might find if you go to unlock it that you need to go back to the TMobile firmware to access the app they use to sim unlock it.
What exactly are the restrictions you are trying to circumvent?

I am in the philippines, some one sold me the phone and told me it was unlocked clumsy me didnt check it. cant unlock it via server since it is unpaid and cant return it either. thats why im looking for an alternative way so i can use my simcard here.

Ahh. So yeah. You may want to worry about the simcard situation first and flashing the firmware won't fix that. I know there are paid services out there that will take Paypal and such but I haven't used one in almost ten years so I won't be any help there

But if there is still money owed by the person you bought it from there is a chance it will be black listed. You were basically sold a device that he or she didn't own, correct?

Possibly, im screwed right?

I am in the same boat as u, though was able to get my device (Tmobile) unlocked from 3rd party vendor and using it in India. But am not getting any OTA updates.
What could be the reason and what should be done.
Can i flash an Indian/gobal ROM and get OTA updates. Also will it lock the phone again and/or wipe out the data on the phone.
Any help would be highly appreciated

The moment you put a SIM it will the IMEI flashing won't change this. If you change your IMEI with certain software in the US you can have a visit from the Feds as this is something that terrorist do to spoof IMEIs.
