Hi,
I have a Googke Pixel 4a (currently not near me, is at a friends place) and a Google Pixel 6 to test with.
I wanted to ask if it is somehow possible to change the IMEI programmatically? Is that only possible with a rooted phone?
I found a script on github {Mod edit}, however this doesn't work because `fastboot getvar imei` returns FAILED since the imei variable isn't present.
Would be happy to receive any help!
Best regards,
Laktus

Hello everyone,
Recently my home country issue a statement that all devices coming from outside of the country will be blocked over the network.
and they are requesting half the price of the mobile phone so they will unblock it.
I have some old phone and I want to swipe their IMEI's with the new phones I have, as the old ones are working before that statement issued and they can continue to work with no problems.
Please i need the steps to change IMEI number for {Mod edit}.

Hey everyone! I am new here with a question.
I moved to Turkey about 4 months ago and here in turkey you need to pay the government a pretty hefty fee to use your phone if it was not bought in Turkey. As soon as I inserted a Turkish SIM i my phone I was sent a text message saying I have 120 days to use my phone and then they will block my IMEI until I pay the fee.
My phone is a... running latest updates non-rooted.
Is there a way I can change my phone's IMEI while I am here and then revert to original one when I move out again? I have the single sim version. Willing to root if needed.
Tips and tricks appreciated!

I need remote IMEI repair service. Who can provide remote IMEI repair support for {Mod edit} and {Mod edit} devices?
I wanted to do it myself, I read so many articles, but I realized that I lacked a lot of information.

What happened? How did you lose your IMEI's on two different devices?
Nothing is wrong. I need to change the IMEI's. Unregistered IMEIs have limited time usage permissions. I will not be able to use devices with IMEI expires in 2 weeks.

@telgrafci Thanks very much for the information. However, in this case, in which you don't intend to repair an original IMEI but to change one, I've closed your thread and edited some information out.
