How can i trace it.. it was very hard earned money, i bought it to develop some applications for windows mobile. I am a website developer and decided to learn application development for WinMo. Please..
my IMEI number is 353969024693169
my Email is [email protected]
Please help me out, i loved my HTC Touch HD. i cant afford to buy another one.
I am in Mumbai, India
I'm guessing you didn't have any applications such as Sprite Terminator installed?

It's very hard without that, the very least you can do now is lock the IMEI so the thief can't sell it.
i had anti theft software installed before.. but i upgraded the ROM and forgot to install it again.. i am in a very bad luck
otherthing.. if i lock my mobile IMEI, and ever in future i get it back.. is it usable again or it is dead forever?
my condolence.
btw how to lock imei? by calling my operator?
ouch! sorry to hear that.
once blocked your imei can be unblocked again by calling your service provider/operator

hi.
any one who know about my problems pls help...
ive bought a xda 2 from the net and it seems like i cant make any fonecall nor recives any fone calls via my fone. its seems like its been block but i only can recieves and send sms with it, the fone have been unlock. any one who know about this probles or how to resolved it pls help and would this fone works outside the uk (Brunei) help needed pls.....
If it is blocked in UK it will word in rest of the world, you need to unlock the phone or try an O2 sim card before you give up though.
have been unlock but cant make fone call
the fone have been unlock. which i can use the vodafone sim and o2 for sms.
a gsm triband phone will work on all gsm networks which use 900/1800/1900
if it's blocked even if the network support those frequency then maybe it's a imei nr block but then i suppose it would not be able to send sms
what makes it blocked
what makes it blocked in the first place. hope it will work back home in brunei.
suhardee, a phone is blocked if reported stolen or if a claim for insurance is paid out, once the insurers pay out they want to make sure that it cant be used again on the networks, would make more sense to reclaim the broken phones and get some of their money back by selling them.
hemmm
so basically ive bought a stolen phone or a fone which have been claim for its insurance. but just hope it works back home in brunei coz ive unlocked it already. thanks for clearing this up for me. but how would the fone compeny blockd it coz i didnt bought the fone with any sim card is it via the imei number? coz that is the logical explainations. i think it might work in brunei coz at home eventhow mobile is the same advance as in the UK but i dont think the mobile compeny in brunei is that advance.
this forum have a automatic dictionary which mean that if you hold your pointer on top of the place where you wrote imei then you'll get a popup explaining 100% what it is and where it's located
thanks
thanks every one who makes things clear for me... by this weekend i will know if he fone works at home or not.....

I know you have been trying to get your Hermes working (from your other posts) - bottom line is, yes it may be blocked.
Demand your money back as it's not working. If the phone is blocked then tell them it will be a matter for the police to resolve unless you get your cash. (Legally speaking of course if you suspect it's stolen you should report the matter to the police - some poor sod is missing a Hermes and may not have been insured)
In nearly all cases it's illegal to change the IMEI. As you rightly assume if it's blocked it's stolen.

Technically you cannot do anything except inform police.
Returning it to the place it was purchased would mean you commit an offence of handling stolen goods if you suspect it to be stolen (which a blocked IMEI might imply).
Thx folks better i will go give them back this phone. thx for help.
I have the serial number of the device, it is possible through software or something to the device? Even if there is software that costs money I'm willing to pay for ... Please help me :-(
The only software that might help you locate your device is "Sprite Terminator"
or any similar software.
But... it has to be installed already on your device. If you didn't have that kind of
software on your device i'm afraid there is nothing much to do.
Microsoft's "My Phone" might be able to help you. There are advance features:
• Find your lost phone The My Phone service can show you the last known location of your phone on a map (based on where it last synced or shared photos using My Phone). User activation required. Go HERE to Learn more.
?
More options?
if you got the imei nr
report it to the police then they will block the phone from being used as a phone
Agree .
The police can find your phone.
I know cases of people who bought stolen phones without knowing they were stolen.One day the police was knocking on their door.So this is your best chance and it costs nothing i think.
I know it won't help you with this phone, BUT for your next phone install Remote Tracker, a great tool you can find in the Developers section on XDA. The best about it is the "Top Secret" tool or even the sim card change detection ... Of course, nothing will survive a re-flash ...
tnks for all here =]
i go to the police...
hi all
it seems my phone has been bricked, i can use any other providers simcards at all to make and receive calls, i have the limited connection icon coming up and the reception bars with an X on it.
is there any way i can unbrick my phone please?
That's not bricked. It won't even turn on if its bricked. Is mobile networks turned on? Has the apn list been wiped/corrupted?
I'm no expert @ this stuff but it sounds fixable. Try flashing the ruu again?

hi
i can see all the networks, i think i need an IMEI repair as it looks it has been blocked because the simards work perfectly on other phones.
is there anyway i can fix this please?
I'm @ work n have rubbish signal so can't provide links, search the forum, there's sure to be something. I would seriously try reflash the ruu tho. What Rom r u using?

no worries, i def dont think its the forum, i think the phone has been blocked by network, so the only way i think is IMEI repair but i could be wrong and its using the latest rom.
i,m searching for a way to change the imei number, if you know someone or someway of doing this it will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

IMO the IMEI cannot be change. If the phone is really blocked by your provider, ask there for unlocking. Maybe there is a stolen phone with nearly the same IMEI, and the did a mistake by entering the code ?
Otherwise return the phone back to shop.
its very strong possability thats the case, if its that difficult then no probs guys, i just though there is a way to do it?

thanks a lot for everyone who tried to help, the handset is back to normal this morning, i contacted the provider and i was told it was accidentaly blocked due to a mistake.
all i wanted is to have a working phone, and help to get it to work not crap and abuse, for those users with less kind words all i have to say you let this site down.
First of all I just want to say HI and Merry X-MAS to everyone and also a happy new year , now lets cut to the chase I have asked a few times on the bord how can I solve my problem about not getting signal , now i found in this evening that actually the phone doesn`t register to the network, I was experienced the problem so I boot the android to see if it is a wimo or rom problem, android found the network but couldn`t register just like wimo. Now I found out that it might be a IMEI problem like is blacklisted because it was stolen I also contact the HTC support but no answer yet is there any way to solve this problem ? From my little knowledge I think the phone what i thought it was new to be branded and unlocked before it arrived to me so maybe i can re-unlock it or something ? Also is there a way to find if it was branded or stolen i can provide my sn and imei if it helps ... Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English ..
