Does anybody know that?
I was bid a XDAIIi from ebay last week. I was try to unlock,and its look successd.but still doesnt work on any network. I guess, maybe. this phone was blocked.
so,any idea to change Imei for this phone?
bushako
dude i dont think there is no way you can change the imei..unless you change or replace the hardware components reponsible for the storing the imei...i think!
Yeah! This phone is a nightmare for thiefts!
I'm sorry to all for posting the same thread about repairing IMEI. I do know that repair imei is illigal in some country. I just did not find the answer i looking for.
Thre reason I'm asking about this matter is,
yesterday I agreed to help my customer to upgrade ROM on his Hermes. the stupid thing is that i did not check it thoroughly. and now after upgraded, he says that the imei in sticker beneath battery does not match with shows *#06#. he says that rom upgrading proccess cause it. and now i can't argue with him cause i didn't know the imei match or do not match at first place. he ask me to buy it or replace it unless i can match the imei.
So, please is it do able on not ? I just want simple answer.
if any one here know the answer and do not everyone know about it please pm me.
please ?! thank you
unfortunatly, even if this was the case (and i doubt it, never heard of a hermes rom that changed someone's imei), changing it back is illegal and posting an answer to your question is forbidden in this forum.
make sure that your costumer knows what imei is and where to find it (usuael on the back of the phone there are 2 extra digits that *#60# doesn't show).
ok, I guess i'll never received simple answer yes or no. I'll try talk to my customer with an axe in my hand just to convinced him that rom upgrading does not altered the imei.
Thank you !!!
My original IMEI number was starting from 35XX and now its has been changed to 44XXXX i have not done anything just using phone as it is. Because of this whenever i inset my simcard my phone gets hanged.
Please help me. I am from Gujarat using HTC with Airtel.
How could this happen?
I dont think it will change automatically.
Someone must have changed it.
Bring back to Airtel and ask them about it.
there was a thread some time ago talking about a problem with some elfs going to a special imei, that its blacklisted so it wont work.
i think the mods have deleted the thread, but search in google the whole imei number u have now.

Can you try to flash via SD?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_SD_Card_Flashing
Works for elf and elfin.
late reply: phone had water damaged, the best thing you can do is stop messing around, remove battery, and take it to capable technician.
it happens often that imei gets to factory default, not 1st case I´ve seen...
br
that could be that your elf was reported in your operator and the lasted owner send to changued IMEI of the device for continues working with then.
your device dont have any problem for that IMEI only work again
Enjoy dont worry
i changed my rom many times, i used chifu rom mostly because i liked them but i realise i have kind of a big huge problem, i dont know how but my phone's Imei got changed ( yes yes i'm a dumbass ) is there any way to change it back to the original one ??? i know that changing imei is not a legal thing , but what i just want to change it back to the original one... if not it is still working , i dont know for how much long but it is
thanks ins advance
best regards
I think whats probably happened is that the ROM you are currently using is displaying the imei number of the handset that it was originally dumped from.
It has not actually changed the imei number of your handset its simply displaying the wrong number.
Bottom line is that you imei is still the same number that is printed on your device (under battery or wherever)....
My HD2 shows a different imei but I have been assured by the chef of the ROM that I use that its not a problem so dont worry.
Hope that helps.
Ps Im moving this to the general section.
thank u very much
i wont worry about it when it stops working then i will get worried about it but until then
yeah theres no need to worry....
if you need your imei it will be on your device, probably under the battery or in the documents you got with the phone.
Hi everyone ! I have been running cm12 5.0.1 for some weeks on my I9500 and now after i flashed stock firmware 4.4.2 i have no network signal, i can't make calls or receive and my imei is null. Any ideas ?
Just tell me 'the easy way' for that, i googled it and i found a lot of things but i can't use "EFS PRO" because it doesn't recognize my phone, i mean the phone is connected and it still says 'connect phone to continue'. -> I TRIED ADB off/on, 2 different cables, usb ports. ( Beside efs pro the phone is recognized without problem.)
Same issue as this?

No idea what u mean but i see nothing similar there.
NOTE : i found out the battery went from 100% to 20% in 6 hours of idle with the main drain on "Android system" 35%.

you must search for a jtag service in your location
as antaresone says in their tool thread AntaresOne's IMEI backup/restore tool "if you lose IMEI and don't have a backup, you're lost"
But why does that happens ? I mean to Shivam Bhalla didn't do anything to his phone, and i flahed stock firmware, why would this happen?
I didn't backup imei before that, can i do something anymore ?
The solution is really simple, but I don't know if anyone is willing to help you anymore considering your last thread. You insulted some of the highest respected members here.
Eh, so what i may do now? I just want to know if i could do it by myself or it requires some special tools ? And is that expensive if i would take it to a service?
Wow no one is willing to help me for real, idk how i insulted them, it was just my suspicious personality about that CM, just soory if i insulted you, u may help me now 3,
Come on im just a retarded guy who wants to repair his phone.

In this one post you...
1. Threw out a worthless apology and in the same sentence demanded help.
2. Played the disabled card.
I'm going to say, "you're screwed". If you don't understand how you insulted AntaresOne - a bigger crime than calling me "Mr. Impatient" - no amount of explaining will change that.

So what may i do to get help now ?
Send your S4 to the service center and pay for the repairs. Then keep that cost in mind as the consequence of insulting people who are trying to help you.
