How To Read the Imei from Polaris

anyone knows that?

What do you mean? By a program you are writing or just because you dont know your IMEI?
As for the program, I dont know, the last thing I touched was Visual Basic 6 a couple years ago...
As for the IMEI in general: dial " *06# " (without the quotes) and it will display the IMEI. Or check the package of your device, its written on it as well or as a last resort, remove the battery, there is a sticker on the back of the device carrying the IMEI.

Settings --> Device Information --> Identity

You want to actually change your IMEI on the device ??

Wizard service tool is what you are lookin for!

Yes it does not work I have tried it. BTW does anyone have anytool for changing imei?

hi,
guys, you don't need to change phone's EMEI. What you need is to use MultyDID app (see the link for procedure http://forum.djawir.com/smartphone-...99-my-collection-smartphone-apps-games-5.html ). This program perfectly works for NAVITEL NAVIGATOR GPS-program, and I'm sure it will work for other GPS-apps as well.
Rgds.

change imei
i use mtty's mb command to peak into the memory and found the address for the following...
9DDD6C-9DDD7C: CID (ie. HTC__001)
9DDD7C-9DDD89: IMEI
9DDD94: SECU_FLAG (ie. 0 or 1)
i tried using mw to write the memory but the value wont stick... anyone know how to make the values sticky?

^^^ does anybody know?

For what purpose would you want to change the IMEI number for this way?
If a software will not accept your phones IMEI number you should contact the manufacturer/retailer. If it being installed because it wasnt meant for that particular phone then I'm afraid you should look elsewhere for solutions.
Guys, I'll be honest with you changing IMEI numbers to install software sounds like what it is without having to spell it out and I would be grateful if we wouldnt encourage it here on the Polariis forums by entertaining these type of posts.
Many thanks.

[Not illegal] Information about IMEI and WM device

Hello my friend,
First, this topic is not in order to ask " How to change IMEI device", because it's illegal and it's very very hard of new HTC phones.
I'm software programmor and I programm in eVC for Windows Mobile.
I would like develop a tools about IMEI and Windows Mobile Device.
I would like to know if anyone know how Windows Mobile retrieve the IMEI ?
I know that the IMEI number is stored in OTP memory ( One Time programmable memory), but where is located this OTP ?
In the mainboard ? Or directly in the cellular modem ?
So i think that the GSM driver allow to seek the IMEI ?
It's right or no ?
Thanks a lot,
regards,
Nixeus

The IMEI can be read from registry: HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL: IMEI
It is not safe (I believe it is only updated when the device is coming up after initial boot after upgrade) and can be changed - not impacting anything, e.g. *#06# will still deliver the correct IMEI.

Thanks my friend for your answer.
When i use the *#06#, do you know how the imei is reading ?
With an AT command and the cellular modem ?

Try it out - dial *#06# and see that you get. Then change the registry value and do the same - it will not read the registry. AT command I never tried, but I suspect it will also not read the registry.
Afaik, the IMEI is stored in encrypted format in some permanent part of the device memory. It should be accessible through some API calls to the RIL. As I am no programmer I cannot help you further.

hard to think of a LEGAL reason to be doing this anyway, the only reasons i can think of are writing a fake one (illegal) or spoofing it across the network (illegal).
If you just need to know what the IMEI is in your software for some reason then the registry entry mentioned should do it for you surely

Nooot !
I need to expand my knowledge.

Use the lineGetGeneralInfo function.

can be used for licensing method...for example a developer wants each copy can only be run on 1 device,this can be used

For example man, but i would like better to be able to read this imei in low level

Or directly from the cellular modem..

Hi mate ,
Not clear your problem , you can call , you have data , what you mean hidden? what do you get when you type *#06#? same imei as in the sticker behind your battery?

Hi,
if I type *#06# i see "IMEI /01" only. I not see other numbers.
When I go to settings --> info I see IMEISV /01 and IMEI: unknow.
I also check EFS folder with root explorer and it seems is ok because inside have other folders and in particular imei folder with file mps_code.dat.
Thank you

If the phone works and makes calls, don't mess with it.
Messing with the IMEI is likely to break it.
This is a classic case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Who cares if it displays an UNKNOWN instead of a number? All the IMEI does is authenticate your phone on the cell network. If it's authenticating it, then it's working. Don't mess with it.

Hi,
It has been always like this?
The only thing i can think of is to reflash a stock rom ( odin) and see if it helps, maybe is firmware related , BEFORE you do make sure you have a copy of your EFS folder

Put another SIM card in it. See if it works. If it does, then sell it with confidence. (I bet it would work)
Past that what you are asking for now is how to change the IMEI, even if you are asking how to change it to the actual IMEI. It's the same steps as changing it to a stolen IMEI so we do not discuss that on XDA.

It is not true. I do not want to change imei of my phone. I know very well that it is illegal!
I only want to solve the problem of IMEI / 01 because it does not seem right to me to sell with this issue.

I will say this again....if you want to change it from UNKNOWN to a number, then that is changing it. Even if you are using a legitimate IMEI for the phone. The procedure to do that is the same procedure that is used for illegally changing it from a bad IMEI to a working IMEI from a donor phone.
I don't believe you are trying to do anything illegal, but the process to do what you are asking is the same process as doing it for illegal reasons. Therefor, we don't discuss it here.
Again though, your phone isn't broken. It's working fine. So you should be able to sell it without issue. You can confirm it's sellable by putting the buyer's sim card in the phone to test it for a connection to a tower. If it works, it's a good phone.
Also stop looking up the IMEI with the 06 code.
Look in SETTING -> ABOUT PHONE -> STATUS
That should show your IMEI there. If it shows it there, then stop worrying about it. It's just the text code that's being goofy, not the actual IMEI.

I can't find where to set the SMS Center Number on my Mi A1 with 8.0.0 updated to latest May patch.
Any help?

Is there any field where you can enter smsc number?

Thanks for the reply.

Varben gave you the correct answer.
Theres a field SMSC with two buttons update and refresh.
Press refresh to find current number.
Enter values and press update to change it.

It doesn't happen anything to my phone dialing that code.

I use this app to force lte. Its lightweight. It's just an app to launch that service/code.

Hi,
I used your advice, refreshed, got
my German O2 message center no., followed by ",145" returned, then
replaced the German by the UK O2 message center no., and left the ", 145".
Since then, I'm getting wrong format error.
What do I need to put in after the UK message center no.? Nothing?
Thanks for your help,
Peter

Sorry but why changing SMS center number?
It is stored on the SIM and normally it shouldn't be changed

Try finding an old phone and do the change there. Usually the message center is stored on sim.
