I had recently flashed my rom to wm6.5 without thinking much at all.
I then find out that my imei is now different from what is printed on hte phone (under the battery)
As I dont really like the WM6.5 rom, I used the rom from this thread to go back to wm6.1, everything looks the same as i 1st got the phone. BUT the imei shown in "Device ID" and "About" remains different from the original imei on the phone. I also checked it by *#06#.
So where did I get this imei no from? Did i get it from the wm6.5 roms?
I search and yet to find a tool to edit the imei yet. any advice from anyone pls?
Hello Frank, have a custom Rom wm 6.5 installed aswell and indeed my IMEI also changed. Did not pay attention to it sofar, so thanks for pointing this out.....
Think that a different IMEI is not so much an issue unless you have to bring it to HTC for repair.....therefor always the recommendation to back-up your original Rom.....with original IMEI
Change of the IMEI might be the problem. And the big one. As I know, changing of IMEI is illegal in almost all countries and might be prosecuted. Also your mobile phone operator can put it on blacklist and you will not be able to connect to network. More here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276851
Anyway, there are some tools available, but I can't point you directly. Try to google them.
frankbeer, Frank Caarls: Which ROM do you use? I can take a closer look at it. And please send me that new changed IMEI via PM.
The last 2 digits of the IMEI can change, they are the Software Version Number (SVN).
Only the 1st 15 matter.
Dave
Hello Dave, is correct....last 2 digits changed......my IMEI under battery only shows first 15 numbers.....
Frank Caarls: Then you are making false alarm. Next time please study, what is IMEI and from how much number it is composed. And as I told you changing of IMEI is a problem and that is why I posted that link, so please make fun from somebody else. Btw. you cannot backup IMEI in your ROM.

Hello all,
I have a problem with my device. I have loaded a new ROM and it changed my "I M E I"!!! I want to return to the original one. I have done a hard reset and it does not come back to the original one.
I have not a backup of the previous ROM.
Any brilliant idea please?
Thanks in advance,
A.
Flashing your ROM does not change the IMEI of your phone.
What esle have you done to your phone?
I gave it to a friend of a friend to change the OS to Spanish, but now the IMEI is not the original one
I can't not use it like a phone now because this friend has not idea how to recover. I want to leave the same that it's under the battery on my device.
Thanks in advance.
Alejandro.

I doubt you'll find any help for that here. This "friend of a friend" did something beyond flashing your ROM.
Don't know what he did... I just want to go back to the original's IMEI of my device...
Does he changed the ROM or something like that? I'm kind of confused.
Thanks.
A.
Whilst it is not possible to corrupt your IMEI when doing a ROM update you often need to have your phone unlocked before an update will work. The corruption can occour when you do the unlock. Some of the ROM updates available have unlock programs built in to them so your friends friend may not have been aware of it. I have performed over 20 upgrades / unlocks on various K-Jams and whilst I have only ever come accross the problem once it is a pain the ass to sort out.
I am assuming you are now getting a mesage saying something about data crashes and you only get it when you have the SIM card in the phone. If this is the case you will need to contact the guys at www.imei-check.co.uk and dip your hand in your pocket to the tune of 40 bucks.

I have noticed that when I update ROM from the original HTC to Dopod one, the last two 00 at the end become 01 on the dopod ROM.
Has anyone observed this? My WeatherMate code is not recognised and I have to ask for a reset on their server Looks like they use IMEI and not user name to generate the code. I may have to consider their software a bad buy and look for one that is more "tweaker friendly"
Am I the only one with this issue?
my imei changes from ...02 to ...01 at the end. no hassles with it yet though.
wonder what would happen if i try and reunlock with imeicheck file???
anybody reinstalled an orig rom and noticed if imei is "corrected" again?

Yes it always gets restored to original number when original rom is installed
check first 15 nos..they shd be same
After trying to update my rom to PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap
My HTC p3300 froze.
I guess its my own fault not using a compatible rom. But its not so clear what rom fits what.
Anyway
As far a i have figured i need a original swedish rom to put my HTC p3300 back to life.
I have tired with the WWE rom from the wiki but it wont work.
PLEASE help me here

I think you should have CID unlocked your device first from www.imei-check.co.uk, before trying another rom, may be they can help you out if you contact them.
So what u are saying is that I cant fix this myself. Even if I got the right rom file?
Could u please explain exactly what cid unlocking is and why are my HTC locked.
I mean its a flashable device. Why must I pay someone to unlockit before I can update it.
If HTC delivers a new rom update do i still have to cid unlock it?
//Clanman
please search the forum and you will see each rom are locked to country-language-network settings, if you get swedish rom then it should work but I don't think you will find other than original english HTC rom
look here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Artemis
I think you can find a swedish rom here if you have your imei number
http://www.smartmobile.se/item.aspx?id=795
Ok thanks.
But i guess the only way to find out your imei number is to dial *#06#
As my phone is stuck at boot I cant get to the number.
At least Im learning how not to do things.
I guss i have to talk to the guys at www.imei-check.co.uk
Thanks u guys for helping me out

Yes, you can. It is also printed on the label underneath the battery, and it may also be available on the cartboard box the phone was shipped in, if you still have it.
Ok i will check it when I come home.
Thanks.
You made me see a light in the darkness
//Clanman
I just want to Say thank you guys.
It worked perfectly. I now have my phone back in working conditions.
I might still send it to the iemi guys to have it unlocked
Best regards
Clanman

You don't have to send it physically, but they will send you a file, based on your unique IMEI number. That file contains some sort of code which unlocks your device.
Yeah u are right. I realized it myself when I went to their homepage

Please install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, press Menu > 'Refurbishment Check' to see if your phone has any issue with the refurbishment?

i think your IMEI is on black list, after i install custom rom i decide to go back to stock then when i flashed stock rom im getting IMEI null... my advice is send your phone to repair shop and they try to fix your origiinal IMEI but if they cant fix there are one more solution they will change your IMEI from the Original one. that is my advice its up to you.

What is your actual problem now? If you still can make calls and send/receive text messages so no problem. Just use it.
Discussing about changing imei on xda is prohibited. And it's also not so easy.
As the check result using 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' app, your device is a refurbished one. That means it is not a original (genuine) one. Its hardware has been modified or repaired or replaced etc...

Yes its possible to change IMEI from the Original IMEI.

thanks in advance
Just like that without even mentioning what variant and region. Gl
First of all you need to see if the baseband is normal and need to see if the IMEI is normal if it is 0049 that is more trouble
If everything is normal, you can try to use Odin to restore or SPT-BOX software tools to repair my English is not very good sorry

358588/05/891191/0
What should I do to return to a normal use, I can't give a phone call. The rom is
Android 5.0 N9005XXUGPOF3
I have change The BB original to N9005XXUGBOA1
BUt allways "not registered to the network !!!
