to all XDA developers (is their a change IMEI software USB)?

to all XDA developers (is their a change IMEI software USB) if yes where can i find it & if no is it going to be developed any soon? when?

I doubt the developers will be writing software for that particular use on the xda1, if you have a serial cable it will work on the xda as long as the radio stack is the early versions, it wont work on radio stack 4.21 for instance.

so where can i get the early(<4.20) Radio version coz i wanna use the
manipulator programme with my XDA2 device ?

????????????????

Chanaging IMEI is a way to get RID of those SPIES who pry into our personal info. Violations of our right to privicy....

Emil, can you expand on that statement please, the imei is the phones identity tag, if you have a prepay sim card your identity is unknown, if you have a post pay contract sim then your details are known and your phone is trackable by the sim details regardless of the imei/phone used.

i want to reset the timer to know how much i talked ,so where can i found that radio version

As far as I know, xda manipulator is for xda1 only.

IMEI-change and call-timer reset
No software exists to change IMEI or reset timers on Himalaya/XDA-II. Also no software does it to the Wallaby/XDA over USB, and The Manipulator, the program that does it to the Wallaby via the serial port only works with certain Radio Stack versions.
We have no legal or moral problems with IMEI-changing or timer reset, but it's a lot of hard work to write something which overwrites parts of people's radio software reliably. The last thing we want is 300 people wrecking their phones and blaming us. This issue has sort of scared us away from this type of modification.
(Unlocking is different since it only reads the ROM and then uses the 'official' mechanism of AT-commands in the phone for unlocking.)
No idea whether this topic will be revisited at some point, but don't hold your breath...

Will you tell how it all works, and maybe even create a wiki page on it? We have itsme's and W4XY's works, bu we need many more people to publish the results their trips into the phone ROM and bootloader...

Peter,
Can you tell me how to read or find my IMEI number. I have a phone that was a display model and the lable on the back was removed so I can't get it there and the system identity shows a generic IMEI number (as I've found with all the updated 2003 ones).
Thanks,
David

Try dialing *#06# on the phone. This works on all GSM phones (since it is in the GSM specification to be approved as one).

That still gives the generic IMEI number with an extra "01" at the end. It seems to be a glitch in the 2003 software because the IMEI numbers are available before you upgrade but not after. I thought I was missing something but the other units with the upgrade are giving the same generic number (350314010000009). Does anyone else come up with that IMEI #.(May be T-Mobile only!)
David

nope
I upgraded my rom lots of time and never lost my original IMEI number (which is written inside the case, under the battery)

It must be in the "T-Mobile" upgrade that changes the number in the system settings.

no solution till now????!!!!!

Imei 00440000350111201

Hello everybody.
From what I have seen the last few days, in this forum and in HTC Spain, there are a lot of us who have the same problem. I've an HTC Touch (P3450, or Elf) that started with strange and spontaneous resets (I think you call it "Data crash") after being flashed. Also, the IMEI detected by the system changed to the number everyone's getting:
IMEI 00440000350111201.
This IMEI appears when *#06# is entered; it also appears in Start > Settings > System >Device Information > Identity.
I think this is the IMEI I'm sending to the service network. Of course, that IMEI is blacklisted, so I don't have signal nor service at all. Anyhow, "deviceinfo" (by dsixda) does read the correct IMEI. Therefore, I assume that the device DOES have the correct IMEI in the eprom (or wherever it is stored), but the OS, or the bootloaders or whatever, isn't reading it well (the weird thing is that everybody ends up with the same IMEI because of that error).
Well, we know that the "changing IMEI" subject is illegal and nobody wants to discuss that in public forums, but I ask you to leave the thread open in case anyone knows or reaches eventually to a solution.

IMEIs numbers are expensive for phone manufacturers...
So, when mading a copied phone, some chineese manufacturers are using the same IMEI for a lot of devices...
Do your device is a real HTC, or it is a fancy chinese name like THC, HiTC, etc... ?
If it's a legal one, just bring it back to the carrier or the seller, and you'll have without a doubt a new one...
If it's an... HiTC... Then... You payed for what you've got... **** ! Sorry...
And if the problem is caused by the flashing, it's certainly because the provider of the ROM have left its own IMEI in the ROM...

This thread explain the problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=456082

Well , i've been banned for this post ...
I want to make myself clear .. that's NOT my IMEI , not even a legal one i guess ... maybe the moderator misundestood my problem and didn't take the tome to read what I was explaining.
Then again ... THAT IMEI NUMBER APPEARS IN ALL THE PHONES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE EXACT SAME NUMBER.
Ok , I hope it's clear now.
Thank you both for your replies. I keep looking for an explanation and solution for my problem , I'm even in contact with HTC about this.
Thanks again.

this is a legal thread as many of the samsung, Asus and htc WM phone's imei number changing exact that imei on the header just after a unperfect rom upgrade.
Wishing to change someone's imei number as it's original condition is called REPAIRING IMEI, NOT Changing its to another one.

IMEI sent incorrectly to network

The IMEI number shown on device does not match the IMEI sent to the GSM network?!
I have to register my HD2 with the local authorities in order to be able to use it in Turkey.
While in the process of doing so, I came across something peculiar:
The IMEI number I get with *#06# (which, also is the number written on the unit's box) differs from the IMEI sent to the GSM network by one digit.
IMEI on device and box: 35XX XXXX XXXX 051
IMEI as seen by the gsm operator: 35XX XXXX XXXX 050
Apart from being unable to decide which IMEI to register --I think I'll go with the one "visible" to gsm operators-- This could be a serious bug.
Has anyone else experienced similar behaviour?
Regards,
Gwelwhir
Edit: ROM: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE -- I'll revert to the original NLD ROM and see if the issue is the same.

To try a different approach, I set up a BlueTooth partnership, and connected with PuTTY / Serial over BT to that port.
AT commands all returned "OK", but no information.
including AT+CGSN. The IMEI was not displayed.

try:
[email protected]?
(with the question mark)
but I think this isn't very interesting. you probably meant the IMEI on the box is 2 chars shorter than the one displayed by software (usually a "01" is the extra 2 digits). that's perfectly normal

Thanks Cmonex, I will try "[email protected]?" as soon as I can.
Other than that, I did not mean the IMEI on the box is 2 chars shorter, I am already aware of that. To clarify:
IMEI @ box: 35XX XXXX XXXX 051
IMEI @ dev: 35XX XXXX XXXX 05101 (+2 digits np here)
IMEI @ gsm: 35XX XXXX XXXX 050
I'll post as soon as I test the "[email protected]?".

The situation is resolved:
As far as the GSM CDR is concerned, even if they receive the IMEI "wrong", they process only the first 14 digits of the IMEI; the 15th digit (and the 2 more after that where applicable) being inconsequential.
(So, I was able to register my device.)
As for the "[email protected]?" query, it does display the IMEI, thanks.

B7610 IMEI is all zeros, hot to restore?

Hi,
Recently I have bought serveral B7610 over the Ebay, and was careless not to check if IMEI are OK. One of them has IMEI which is all zeros (like ~15 zero's), when checking it by *#06#. It has also missing the label/serial on the back, behind the battery. Is there a way to restore the IMEI, and check for the serial? In current provider it works OK, but I do not know, if it will work in any other network, for example - while roaming...

It's most likely a stolen phone with the IMEI removed.....

Sorry to hear that mate,
If you had an S3 mini imei means that someone for some reason changed your imei , most likely your phone is stolen......take it back , report that person......
Changing Imei is ilegal ..you will not get that help here in XDA

I heard that it was possible that from time to time there may have mobile device with the same imei since many mobile device in the world. how I can find my imei because my camera tell me ' meid '

IMEI numbers are unique and have several identifiers within them, along with a check digit to ensure they are valid. However, IMEI numbers can be easily cloned. According to a BBC News report on phone theft from 2002, some 10% of all IMEI numbers "are not unique", or in other words, cloned.[1]
What disturbs me more is that the device is not even displaying an IMEI number, but a MEID number. The I9505 is a GSM phone and would not have a MEID number. That means someone entered the service menu and tried converting this phone to work with CDMA, not realizing the phone doesn't support CDMA.
I agree with @MAX 404. Return the phone and report the person who sold it to you.
[1] http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/1749215.stm

The problem is that I have the box with imei above even behind the camera is even evidence that the same IMEI number corresponds to another device but not by s4 against the bill I find it is more it do more 6 months I buy this device. I can give all the evidence if it is necessary for its

Ok, so if I understand you correctly, the IMEI on the phone and the IMEI on the box match? To be honest, that doesn't mean much since labels are easily forged. But regardless, you're apparently not able to return the phone as it's out of its return window. I would bring it to a Samsung service center and have them look at it as we're not going to be able to help you here.

yes it's on I'll try to have a peekaboo samsung France to see if I can return it free
yes I have the same IMEI on the box behind the telephone + + in the phone I have to solve this problem of 'meid'

Well, as I mentioned upthread, someone entered the service menu and changed service from GSM to CDMA. I accidentally changed the service myself on my phone, but I went back in and changed the service back to GSM. Just don't ask me how I did it because I can't remember. Once I got my S4 working correctly after replacing the SIM tray and blowing away the SIM lock I stopped messing around in the service menu.
If you're adventurous, you can enter the service menu and try to change things back. I believe it's under CDMA services in the main menu. However, I believe the service center might be better, as it is possible to screw up things even further.

ok I have to succeed my imei number is returned
I count !!!!
Now my problem remains of imei, I have all the evidence that I possess much the device that has the right imei
exclaims the back of the device, on the box, paper proving that another device has the same imei but in s3 mini declare I believe and I have a 9505
edit:
I had to go into the service mode via * # 0011 # and then modify the CDMA option thank you to you Strephon Alkhalikoi
