Hello,
I need to change my IMEI#. Is there a way for performing this issue.
Thanks in advance...
Best regards,
BT
It is not allowed
Changing your IMEI is illegal in most countries. I doubt you'll get any advice here.
Why would you need to change the IMEI unless you are using a stolen phone?

Truthfully I know that it is illegal but I can explain my conditions
I live in Turkey, according to laws of my country; if you buy a phone during your visit in foreign countries you should register it when you come back using your passport. You can register only one device in your passport.
A friend of mine has visited taiwan and bought two HD2. one for me and one for himself. He registered his phone after he has arrived. Because I didn't go with him I couldn't register my phone. Thats why I need this process...
I hope it is clear.
Have a nice day,
BT
Can a forum moderator kindly close this thread please and do what you please with the OP...

Nah, he lives in Turkey not The 'States
the OP is correct though if you want to use your phone in turkey for more than 1 or 2 months I think it is, you have to register it. Otherwise the phone is blocked from the networks there.
However as well as being illegal to change the IMEI, its also pointless as a device database is now used and if the IMEI does not match the device at registration then it will be confiscated and worse you could get a jail sentence (and anyone who helped you).

Give yourself whatever in your hand funny guy... (Anlayan anladı...)
I have the same problem. U can register it in Aksaray about 50-60 tl ( Diyolar ama bende bulamadım su an sorunlu bu iş nolcak bakalım )
I bet these regulations will come to general Europe asap.
Any rule that breaks down your freedom is always worldwide adopted.
And, the USA isn't a police state yet, it will be soon, however, Europe is FAR more
a police state then the USA.
But USA is getting up to speed breaking down civil rights.
I feel for the OP as he's into a lot of trouble as a normal consumer, not a thief !
I search too how to change the IMEI on this phone.
I'm software programmor, if anyone would work with me in order to create a tool for this, there is no problem ! COntact me on my PM adress !
We can do it !
You can be jailed in the UK for doing that!
Creating the software and the hack is not illegal !
Using this...is an other thing
Guys, don't be too harsh on the man...
I went to Turkey last year and found out that they cannot view youtube.com ? that was a great WTF!
Also in movies, when there is a cigar displayed on the screen, they blur it!! Another WTF!
So Turkey is like the land of restrictions I guess.. To bad to hear about that phone registration, sounds stupid and political b*** s***

Yes better in the sense that it's faster.

amazing.. most of the planet thinks that google is the best search engine..
maybe it's how you are searching? let me guess you keep finding the same questions and no answers to the post you just started? guess why??
because people keep asking the same thing over and over again without reading!
I've just typed LEO BATTERY LIFE into the search at the top and read the threads that have popped up (I managed to scroll past the first two) and read the relevant ones..

Your initial question is not something I would search XDA-developers for anyway. Why not try a more obvious place like, say, the user manual?
Here, let me Google that for ya.
Page 39, Status Icons.
and the name of thread is great too 'H?' i would be better only with '?'

Best way to make the battery last, turn off the 3G/HSDPA signal

The "95 yr olds", as you put it, want the forums to be kept as clean as possible, without unnecessary posts that are simply asking things that have already been answered.
It's so that people who do search only find 1 or 2 threads with answers in them, not 100 threads all asking the same thing. It's for the better of everyone that uses the forum, including you
i must say the search is bad as i can never find wat i want!
Does anyone have a link to where I could contact Verizon preferably through email? I have some very important questions that I need to ask them

how about you start at www.verizonwireless.com?
Oh really? Get tthe hell out of this forum if you're going to be like that. I posted that because I've spent about an hour searching that damn site and no matter what I try, I can't seem to get to an email link. So unless you have something helpful to post get off this forum

Please don't feed the trolls. While poorly put, he does have a point... this was pretty easy to find.
Speaking of which - you need to navigate to that address manually, so:
1. verizonwireless.com
2. 'Contact us' link in top link bar (small, blue)
3. 'send an email' box (left side)
4. select the appropriate account type and click the arrow
6. 'send an email' box (lower left hand corner)
7. fill the form and send

I can't tell you how many times I've seen you tell somebody, "search is your friend," instead of giving them helpful information as well.
www22(dot)verizon(dot)com/customersupport/contactus
Telling people to search is good. It stops them from posting more stupid questions. Unless you were looking for some secret email address that cannot be found easily on the website....

In case you can't read, I CLEARLY stated that I had been searching their site and Google for about an hour.
I have been to the contact us page, I selected the most appropriate option I could find, and the site said that email support was not available for this category.
For the person who provided the email, thank you I will try that
If it helps, I want to ask them to clarify part of the terms of service regarding reasons they can discontinue service
I agree & if u have to spend an hour of ur life searching google on how 2 email verizon... I'm sorry throw ur phone away... I'm suddenly angry @ur parents

Now that os just disrespectful and completely unnecessary. If you do not have a helpful comment, go to a thread where you have one. Let me reiterate what I said earlier because you obviously didn't read anything I said except that one little part.
I go to Verizon's website, I select contact us, I select email and the most appropriate option and I am told that email support is not available for that type of question.
After google'ing how to contact Verizon, I get the www22 page that was also provided in this thread by someone who actually is here to help not be a jerkoff. When going through the categories on this site, I discovered that this was for everything but mobile phone service such as internet, home phone, fios, and the other services provided.
Now since you obviously know exactly what to do, why don't you just share it with the community instead of being an asshole about someone's question?
I found a Lollipop Rom to e610 on this site:
h(tap out)ttp://(tap out)w(tap out)ww.lollipop-(tap out)rom.org(tap out)/mp3-0/lg(tap out)-optimus-l5(tap out)-e610(tap out)-4571.html
At the time, I was very happy. But they create three links, and all of them had survey. Ultimately, I was suspicious and decided to talk with the masters.
I know what I did with the link is not right, but I ask you to understand my motives
Sorry my English, i'm doing my best.

No, man! When you notice a survey you have found a fake link...
This is a 100% phishing website, it is well done but it s a fake!!!! Do not try to enter your number os similar data on these kind of websites.
If you look better they posted also "roms" for other phones with same words and same comments too :/
Thanks!

Analysing the site, we can see that it is well done, with a nice html, but if you look at writing, you can see it's very well explained and dedicated to beginners (the only way to fall), and gives no information about the Rom (if it is AOSP, Unofficial CM...), and we're accustomed to people here who give little information, and dedicated to those who know at least enough to install one yourself Rom.

gotta say YOU are part of the reason XDA is the way it is now ... instead of just getting your 15 sec of fame or whatever with your stupid answer ... why say anything that is NOT helpful? are you that pathetic you just had to be the first to reply? are your parents not paying enough attention to you? I just don't get it ... very effing frustrating ...
as for your request try searching all the threads and use a keyword to assist the search

We have ALL been where he is now, however a vast majority of us decided to use that good old google to answer, umm pretty much every question he asked. Are we just supposed to google everything for him/her? Maybe even create a summarized audio book for them. I have 0 problem helping someone find the answer to a difficult or obscure question, but ffs. But great way to be toxic, real asset to the community.

Why? Did he ask to be sppon fed? He mentioned coming back to android and might be out of the loop ... correct? Just go away i have wasted precious 10 minutes of my life on you.
