I was having HTC VOGUE(TELUS) that was stolen on FRIDAY
I am right now in INDIA & was using it from almost 1.5 yrs on TATA network unlocked it myself!
I am calling on my phone & the guy using it starts the phone only once a day & does not recieve any calls
I am pretty sure that here in my state no body will b able to program it to another no.. so whenever he will start the phone he will get my no.. only
Besides i have locked it using S2U2 so he will not b able to make any calls also..
So can anybody plz guide me to any software that could help me to track my phone
i have heard of some softwares that uses SMS & GOOGLE MAP to locate the phone

Sorry to hear about your loss.
Unfortunately, as fas as I know, the tracking apps that you are talking about (Crimson Lock is one of them) needs to be installed in the device prior to this happening. S2U2 is no protection unless the guy cannot slide his finger through the screen. Simply report it to the authorities and call your provider to report the device as lost (and if you have the ESN, give it to them, so that they can block it (black-list it).
Sorry that I cannot give you better solutions to this, but without the tracking software pre-installed... there isn't much you can do
All tracking software has to be installed before you lose the phone.
If the phone is on, the police and your provider probably COULD trace it to find the person. But they are unlikely to spend that much time and effort over a stolen phone.
As the guy above me said, call your provider and get your phone blacklisted. They'll cut off access to your account so he can't rack up a big phone bill.
thanks guys!!

Glad to hear that you got it back.
CrimsonLock seems like a pretty good software. It isn't free, but it looks pretty complete, feature-wise.

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.....
Hello all
I am From Bahrain
I talked to my cell provider (batelco) and they said we cannot help you, just we can terminate the cell line only...
the cell cannot access at the moment
my htc touch is stolen,, I talked to police , they have taken IMEI and they said: if we found the stealer we will call you...
they are tooooo slow in there mission ...
is there any software or website or company that track my phone via IMEI very fast ???
plz help me....
It's impossible, no one can track mobile phones by IMEI. It can be locked, but not tracked. It's too dangerous. Provider can only track it by phone number, but in no other way.
using ur IMEI they can only blacklist it... but only in ur country...
i.e. it will be useless for the stealer...
but i don't think u can retrieve it.
Good Luck
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?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
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.
Hello everyone,
Well, here I am again... Seems like the last question is too long or maybe too hard so, no one reply or give me some idea...
This one is easier... After over a month that my Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 can't use as a phone... I decided to call Samsung Service today and the Samsung engineer there told me that... because the phone that I have is the outside country phone so, when the operator knows that I use the phone that is not paid tax to import they cut off my signal that's why I can't use this S4 phone as a PHONE!!!
The Samsung engineer advise me that I need to change the board which will cost me about 6500 bahts and because my phone is not in warranty I have to pay another 1000 bahts for service, which means I have to pay about 243 US. Dollars for them...well let's say 245 US.Dollars...in case the currency change tomorrow...
The status of the phone is all unlock... Since the very first day that I bought the phone it can make call and connect 3G, can connect WiFi...can do anything this S4 phone supposed to do for me until the efs corrupted and imei and serial numbers changed... after I fix all the problem the phone works fine except can't make any call... said not registered on network...
So, my friends... please, advise... Do I really need to change the board(for 245 US.Dollars) to make the phone becomes a PHONE again or...there is another solution for this...(Maybe I should buy new phone...that's not Samsung...)
Is it true that...when your operator knows that you use the phone that's not for your country they will block your signal...?(I use prepaid phone...) I asked my operator they said it's the phone's problem...well the Samsung guy said it's the phone's problem also and the only way to fix it is to change the board...(Seriously???... :crying
I've ever use the phone that I bought from outside country before... It works fine... maybe because it never had imei problem...
Please, I need your opinion... tomorrow I'll go see the Samsung guy... :fingers-crossed:
Best regards,
Angel S.

Sounds like a bogus story to me, bought my I9505 in Germany yesterday and use it without problems in the Netherlands. Connected to the T-Mobile network (data and speech). Maybe your phone (Imei) is listed as stolen and blocked from the networks.
Imei is clean...

So, turn it in for repair or request a new device. Should be covered by warranty, so no issue if you`re legit. Don`t go asking here how to change the Imei number or i`am going to report you to a moderator.
Do you understand English...?

I think I make myself clear enough... I posted in here 3 threads. All questions about how to fix my phone's problem. In those threads I told everyone that my phone has no warranty with Samsung... That's why I need some advise from people here...
This thread... is about... DO I REALLY NEED TO CHANGE THE BOARD? FOR FIXING MY PHONE'S PROBLEM...(CAN'T MAKE ANY CALL...) NOT HOW TO CHANGE IMEI...!!!!!
Can't you see?... DO YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH???...
I need your opinion... if you think there's no way I can fix the phone back to normal to make it can call in or out...then I will go to Samsung and said I give up... Just change the board no matter what it cost...
So what do you want from me huh???... Just read the thread carefully before point your finger at me... I REALLY HATE THAT!!!

If you haven`t backed up your EFS folder and so cannot restore it then yes a new board is the only way to get it to work again. Here is a link about EFS http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...2dkJLSsPmgeBTBMgifxyhGA&bvm=bv.49641647,d.ZWU. There are many more links on Google.

Ok...thanks for the link... and sorry for my temper... you have no idea how much stress I have, it's been over a month now that all I can do is searching through internet read thousands of threads and comments and here I am...only few steps to the goal...but I can't reach it...
So, please let me explain a little bit more of my situation...
The phone works... I can connect to internet. Use social app like whatsapp, line, facebook, twitter and many more... but can't make any call... the imei is also fine... when I dial *#06# it shows up my original imei... the serial number is fine...when I check the phone's status it shows the original S/N, The baseband is also shows in phone's status too... the signal bar is full most of the time...
So, the only thing is not fine is... I can't make any call...(even the signal is full...) that's all... when I dial number and make call it said "Not registered on network" I have the efs backup now. The good one...so, thank you for the link...actually I've ever tried that before but I guess it doesn't hurt to do it again...
Tomorrow I'll meet Samsung technician... to see what he can do...
Best regards,
Angel S.
Hello Guys,
Just need some help from you.
Unfortunately I got my Moto g4 plus stolen yesterday. I want to Lock/block the device in order to prevent the misuse.
Is there any way to do so other than using the Android Device Manager ? as Android Device Manager requires Location and data to be turned on in the device, in order to lock it. And I don't think I had those turned ON on my device.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks
Any Suggestions ? Will be happy to hear back from anyone of you..
Thanks
There are few basic steps you can follow if your phone is lost/stolen
block the sim so unwanted calls/messages are not made from your phones
file a complaint in cyber crime so they can track the phone easily ( make sure you have all the bills, imei number & other necessary details )
i hope this basic steps helps you
my motog4+ phone has lost with imei no:354115073105775 please help to trace them

You should be filing a report at the police station in your locality, not ask us for help to trace your phone on XDA.
If you would like to find out where it could be, roughly, you can try using Android Device Manager (search for it, you'll find links you need quicker).
Android device manager would only be useful if the location service and data was turned on in the device, that's what I got to know from Moto Customer Service
