Question [CLOSED] Will flashing Official ROM change IMEI? - Samsung Galaxy A52 4G

The phone sold to me got locked by Knox Enrollment Service because it says "This phone is configured by <company name>".
So I installed a GSI using TWRP and I can now use the phone, however, I wanna go back to original ROM of Samsung because the GSI functionality is terrible; even the camera sucks.
I know that I'm gonna be blocked once I install official samsung firmware using odin while starting up the phone. I will not be able to use this again.
Is it possible to change the IMEI of this phone and flash the official firmware of this phone so the Knox Guard can't trace this phone anymore? Do Knox Enrollment system references to IMEI or Serial Number of this device? Do changed IMEI will be restored when I flash official samsung rom? Is it possible to change the IMEI of this device permanently?
Any advise? Thank you folks.

Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. For this reason, I've closed and edited your thread! XDA doesn't allow and doesn't accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.

Kingo and vRoot discussion

Hello xda,
Since I look for easy root for my S4 GT-I9505 (while not voiding the warranty), I came up with some posts of Kingo and vRoot, all this malware stuff.
The problem is that all the topics were concluding to the fact that the case is 'under investigation'. All these 'latest' posts are from January or February, and we have May 5 ! So is anyone able so far to provide us if this investigation is over, or if anything has changed from back then? I am sure I am not the only one who is curious & and want to root the phone but feel unsecure.
Ideas and discussion are all welcome. Feel free to post your opinion.
Cheers:cyclops:
EDIT: Actually I found an alternative way to root but it is for android 4.3. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758)
Did someone manage to find a similar way for 4.4.2? (without tripping knox ofc.)
I just don't understand all your crap you say , but i have maybe a simple solution!
You have a S4 so you can just root it with Framaroot i think!

The "malware" with kingo was simply the fact that it was submitting your imei to their server to detect your device and provide the correct files for root. Since that big problem, kingo claims they removed that check and none of your personal data is used. I personally used kingo without any issues on my Note 3 and I would say it's safe... Chances are, if they did do something with your imei number you wouldn't even have your phone by then anyways.

Well, if you think starting a discussion, and a person expressing his opinion is crap i dont see any reason for you to be in a forum.
Even though english is not my native language, i think my point is pretty clear. I asked if anyone knows what is going on with the investigation that was supposed to have happened. and secondly a general discussion about the topic. No reason for offence. Thanks very much for the link though, does framaroot void warranty?

Yes, I know they claimed they have stopped mining IMEI's but, do you think they actually did? Imean maybe its just only the IMEI, but maybe its device monitoring? We dont have any recent official announcement from xda, and i dont think we will have...

If your device is on the compatible devices list then youre good to go
I have rooted almost all of my devices with framaroot and some of them were not compatible and then i have just manually flashed superuser myself !

You have to be careful with knox... There are ways to root if you don't care about tripping knox but that voids your warranty

If they do anything with these imei numbers by the time whatever they do is actually used you probably won't have the same phone anyway... I would consider it safe.
I prefer vroot, despite being in Chinese, but it is easier to use.
I am on the same boat, trying to root without trigger Knox 0x1.
I dont see frameroot is compatible for our phone.

Which Smartphones have Unlockable Bootloader & Can be rooted?

Post amended for better notability:
According to Sir Zelendel's recommendations and this website's list of top smartphones, I have the four products to choose the refurbished/pre-used smartphones from:
Google Pixel
Samsung Galaxy
One Plus
Honor
Click to expand...

So my next query is:
Can the earlier editions/versions of these products also have their bootloaders unlocked/re-locked and be rooted/unrooted?
The explanation behind my brief query in details:
I have assimilated what my teacher here has advised.
I decided that I will buy a 2nd hand, Out-Of-Warranty smartphone for regular use and all sorts of experimentation.
I have been perusing the forum threads. I then searched the forum threads via Google (I know how to ) for better results . Appears that I have found some encouraging posts.

The problem is that people don't leave proper information about whether their problem was solved. This creates problems for the newcomers. They dont have enough guidance.

Skimmed them. A few of them look encouraging. Will take some time to assimilate
I also found that the forum lists the following as the top SmPh:
[QUOTE="forum.xda-developers.com/Forums→Top Phones" ]Samsung Galaxy S9
One Plus 5T
Google Pixel 2
One Plus 5
Samsung Galaxy S8+[/QUOTE]
I assume that these mobiles can have their bootloader unlocked as well as the OS rooted?
I remember from my earlier lesson that Honor and One Plus 5T are definitely compatible with my plan to experiment.
Since these are new arrivals in the market, I might not find a 2nd hand SmPh from these said models.
So based on your vast experience, please feel free to advise me to go ahead and buy a SmPh in which I could exercise either of the two options: unlock the bootloader and root/unroot the OS.

Just a little clearification. All devices come locked when you open the box. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting it are allowed on those devices and on the One plus devices it doesnt void your warranty. Unlocking and rooting are really easy. a couple of PC commands, and one zip flash and boom you are unlocked and rooted.
Thank you, Sir.
But can those smartphones, that can easily be unrooted and their bootloaders, unlocked, be again re-rooted and bootloaders, locked, after necessary amendments, respectively?
After I have bought one of these devices I shall proceed to seek advice on how to do these.
In the meanwhile, and needless to say, I shall also search the forum posts using Google, for further info.
Thank you, Sir, for replying to the post.

Yes removing root is as simple as flashing a stock rom and then relocking the bootloader with one PC command.
If you have Firefox on PC you can use the XDA search plug in. It is far better then the built in search.

Not all devices can have an unlocked bootloader. The vast majority cant. I have never even heard of that device so I cant say for sure. But is you cant unlock the bootloader with the switch in developer settings and the PC command then you may have a device that you cant unlock the bootloader on.

Yes, Sir. In Linux it is very simple, almost a no-brainer. But I don't know why the Android programmers have made the issue complicated.

In Linux you don't really remove root access. It is still there in the system. Not so on Android due to it being turned off in the kernel and having no built in UI.

This part I don't really understand because of my lack of experience with android.
I am studying android-x86, but I am not making much of a headway.
I would really want to know as to how is it turned off in the Kernel. Which portions of the kernels are removed, or hashed/silenced.

A minor request to Mr. Shivom786.
Could you please create your own thread and ask your questions there please? This is my thread where I am seeking advice. Only my advisors are supposed to have posted here. This is an unwritten decency code that is supposed to be maintained in conversations.
I apologise for using the word 'decency' explicitly, Mr. Shivom, and hope that I shall be apologised.
If you have a problem creating a thread I could help you. You could click in xda-developers → General discussion → Questions and Answers, and use the "New Thread" button.

Also depends on your carrier. Like the S7 Edge on T Mobile is locked. Sucks. I'm searching for a new phone but a lot is locked on T Mobile it seems

Unlock Bootloader BKL-L04

I cannot get the bootloader unlock code from Huawei. When I fill out the phone info form I get the error "SN and IMEI are mismatched." I've tried both IMEI1 and IMEI2.
Is this because it is the US version? Is there another way to unlock the bootloader?
I am having the same issue. I am very disappointed that they would lock the bootloader on a non-carrier branded phone. I am unable to port certain app data without root which is making it very hard for me to justify keeping the phone vs returning it and going with another brand where root is obtainable.
I'm getting the same error. I emailed them last night about it and just got a reply a little bit ago. They told me that Huawei USA does not provide bootloader unlock codes. Since they're apparently refusing to provide codes for the US version, does anyone know another way to get one?

I doubt that it will work and will ultimately result in a bricked device. Per the FunkyHuawei website:
"Warning: EMUI 8.1 devices are not yet supported. EMUI 8.0 and below only for now."
There is also a warning about the USA version of the Mate 10 (Different phone but same idea) and trying to re-brand to another region.
Rebranding it is not possible (It's an EMUI 8.1 device) and will not help.
I'm highly ticked over this, I'd never bought this phone if I'd known you couldn't unlock it and root it!!!

I am right there with you. I keep trying different departments at Huawei in the hopes someone will provide the bootloader unlock code. I wish the OnePlus 5T (8GB/128GB) was still available b/c I would return this phone and get that one instead. I only bought this one b/c that one was no longer being sold and this phone seemed like the next best choice. They need to have a disclaimer on their store site if they don't intend to allow unlocking for a specific region regardless if they present the option upon logging into my account with them.
That is b/c you didn't register your country as United States. I know this b/c of the URL of the website you used to log into. If you had, you would have been prompted to be redirected to a different site as it won't let you log into that specific URL if you registered with United States. I attempted to register with a different country using another e-mail account but since I already attempted using both IMEI numbers under my United States account it was logged as being not allowed already.
This is Huaweis official reply to this problem!

LG VELVET 5G IMEI ISSUES

I recently bought an LG VELVET 5G AT&T Of off ebay and the IMEI is 0 it's not rooted or anything but I would like to know what I can do to possibly get it fixed ,when i put in my AT&T Sim card it tells me that the Phones' network is locked and is also permanently locked and can't be unlocked. Is there anything I can do besides using a computer to fix or going to AT&T to fix.
Same problem with me, my lg velvet showing IMEI number 000000000 after update on android 12
Did you guys ever get this resolved? I have to keep downgrading to android 11 to fix it, but then the phone ota updates and I have to downgrade again.
Hi guys i have same problem, how yo repair it
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}
How are you going to fix it without a working firehose?

The screenshot you uploaded is useless for that info, anyway you should cover your IMEI number.
OEM unlock feature must be in the developer options.
If your device is from the USA variants, then it is not unlockable.

one can't root that device with apk - if some site claims different it's a scam for sure!
furthermore that bootloader is locked down entirely from samsung. if there will be workaround or exploit in future you will hear it probably from @afaneh92 first. I suggest you to read his threads and subscribe
why do you want to root that device? you probably have another issue which can maybe solved without rooting

The screenshot you uploaded is useless for that info, anyway you should cover your IMEI number.
OEM unlock feature must be in the developer options.
If your device is from the USA variants, then it is not unlockable.

Usually I never referred to paid services, anyway is up to the OP to take it or not, I'm not against that at all but I never personally provide links or guidance in this matter.

Yes, I saw that, and it's right, I totally understand the reason behind that, it's unlikely to cover that wide range of devices in other way but for this reason I said that US variants are not unlockable (by the normal means). For the sake of accuracy, all the devices are unlockable, either for free or through a paid service, but always my answers are directed to the "fun for free" section.
