hi, every bro!
Is there any possible to modify elfin's IMEI?
I sign a contract of Iphone, But It was stolen.
luckly,on my printed contract the iphone's IMEI list on.
before I'm running out my balance I don't want to sign a new phone.
So is there any way to rewrite my iphone's IMEI to my old elfin?

Illegal?
not really illegal, but 2 do it u gota change the WHOLE board inside ure device, on the bright side u also get a NEW & FREE IMEI number, on the downside, its quite expensive...
ok here is the challenge, now some of us know the horror of a lost or stolen phone. Who has it? Where is it? Can i track it? Well thats where this challenge comes in. We all know about the extended rom , most people dont think that u can mess with this but actually you can. For those who dont know what the extended rom is, it a file folder that contains all the cab files that are used to restore your pda back to factory preinstalled. Well i know that using some programs you can actually edit or delete files in this folder. What i propose or challenge the coders to see if they can come up with a cab file or program that can be placed into the E.R. so that if someone hard resets the pda, that when it comes back and resets it would set off the cab file to collect information like the phone number of the new sim card the thieves put in the stolen unit, and or any other info that can be used to track this device. to email it or say call you at a certian time. Point is that if you can get the number of the person that has your phone, you can get it traced and at least get the cops to go to the address that the new sim card is registered to.
Wow, I like that idea.
I was actually coding it so that the first thing it would do is execute a full-screen lock and you'd have to enter a preset passcode. The only way to get around anything in the Extended ROM though is by performing a soft-reset during the 3-second pause.
The problem with the current WM5 HTC devices (Wizard, Universal, and Apache) is that they have a digital signature feature enabled by default. So I can't hack the Autorun (even if I could) to bypass the 3-second pause, since that would break the authentication of the digital signature.
I could, however, disable the security on the Wizard and Universal with a digitally-signed CAB file found in the Apache's Extended ROM...
If someone could teach me how to access the SIM, that would be key...
Um, am I missing something or isn't this what IIWPO does (for the WM2003/SE devices anyway)? As soon as someone changes the owner info. and puts in a new SIM, it SMS's you the details - I already have it installed in my ext.ROM.
For the WM2005 devices it might not work but it's currently protecting my XdaII.
can you provide a link for iipwo
no sim
doesnt seem like that program access the sim, it seems that it relys on the new owner to input their information, but how many of us actually do that. i dont for sure. so if the new owner doesnt imput their contact info then there is no way of finding them, where as i propose to make come up with a way to read the sim and get the phone number, that way its definatly going to get them

It's here on xda-dev, just search. Oh, and it's iiWPo not iipwo.

They don't need to, all it does is compare the existing text (or lack of) with the stored value (your own), then gets any data and sends it. If nothing else you'll get the phone number as part of the SMS. If they DO enter info (and most people I know do, just in case it is returned if lost), then you get that too.
You also get the satisfaction of slowly racking up their bill for them if they are charged for SMS and if they query it and the telco starts to ask questions about where the 'faulty' handset came from or suggests it goes for repair... Gotcha!
wm5
isnt this only for WM 2003? has anyone got this to Work on a WiZard ?
if someone steals/finds a wizard then what are the chances they will know how to or even if you can hard reset it? and the ones "in the know" might just install a new/default rom image overwriting whats on the modified ext rom.
what you need is something that executes on maybe the 2nd or 3rd incorrect pin number entry.
not true
thats not true , u can get a manual at imate to show u how to hard reset. but there is no manual unless u read these kind of forums. most theives are crack heads that just take the phone to see if they can sell it for money. no knoledge of these devices
what i mean is there is no manual to enter the extended rom unless u read these kinda forum, we are fanatics
iiwpo relies on security by obscurity.
It works quite well on Walaby and Himalay.
If put into extROM it will be installed after hard reset as well (but since it is not signed the user wil get the ability to cancel in WM5.
I am planning to test its functionality on WM5 with my new Wizard.
BTW: Anyone allready has a ExtROM editor to bypass the read-only protection in newer ROMs?
Hello all. I could really use some help. I am trying to change the displayed phone number under the phone settings. I am referring to the number in light grey displayed at start/settings/phone. I am using CE for my registry editor but can't seem to find the file location to edit that number. I know it has no affect on the phone operation but it is just annoying the hell out of me. I also know the number is loaded to the phone when it is activated by the first owner. T-mobile support said it can't be changed on their end. Any help would be appreciated guys. By the way, I love the board. It has come in great hand.
For those are not yet able to unlock their HTC HD2. I know it's really frustrating but however I am very fortunate to discover the temporary solution.

Buy one of this and follow instruction. It work for my HTC HD2 in O2. In the mean time I am waiting for unlock code from 02
Its actually illegal to use one of these as it bypasses the network in a way forbidden in UK by law.
and pointless on O2 unless you're bursting for it.
O2 will supply an unlock code for free, if you simply ask them for it.
sorry to disappoint u m8...but in UK is ILLEGAL to change IMEI number!!!!! It is NOT ILLEGAL as well as LEGAL to unlock ur phone... u probably loose ur warranty.. and that's all.
If you can provide us with the details of the law you appeal on..;o)))) I will stop my business..;o))
For o2 look HERE.
I filled out this form and mine is now unlocked. Takes a while though but they e-mailed it me in the end.

How does this item have anything to do with changing your IMEI, it simply fools the phone into thinking the correct SIM is installed.
Why you don't try with this site mobileunlockguide.com/ for your mobile unlock process.. I too got my mobile unlock codes from here... Also in here we can get all GSM mobile codes...
IMEI 17 digits?
I just tried to fill in the unlock form for O2, and it says the IMEI from my phone is the wrong number of digits.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Did you try *#06# . This is the code which generates the correct IMEI number.
Try it...

I believe that you need to have something like CDMA Workshop, where you can connect the device to the computer and change all the programming of the device (including phone numbers).
I believe there are codes as well to access carrier programming directly in the device, but I don't know them. Although, I have seen a few threads with these codes around xda.
I know my new XevRev rom for WM6.5 would allow me to program/PRL update with Verizon, it is currently untested with other carriers though but I wager it should work since I made the roms carrier specific. It's not droid but you shouldn't have to flash back to stock without relocking.
Since I switched service to MetroPCS with my EVO and Metro did an outstanding job in leaving me phone-less for a full day and a half due to not programming it properly, I had to search around a bit myself and came across a few codes that may help:
##DATA#
##DIAG#
##000000# (note that if the zeros are for the MSL number. If you have CID unlocked the device, this code should probably work. Else, you will need to figure out your MSL. You can use MSL Reader, which is free in the Market). BTW, this last one is the EPST Programming, which is where you can change the phone number. Having said that, play with this at your own risk and back up every single number that you change by writing it down somewhere in case you need it again)
