Call Verizon from a different phone??
There should be a USSD code (using the dialer pad) to bring up your IMEI...

CDMA phones dont have USSD codes. The ESN will be in the back of the phone or under status under settings.
Just go to a Verizon store they will help ya out

That is what I will probably do. Thanks

I have edited your thread title... requesting methods or ways of modifying your IMEI is illegal.
So is there any way to fix it?

Only option is to call your provider. If they won't fix it. Then Switch your provider.

You may have to dispute the block with the original carrier that added it to the block list. They may have flagged the phone as lost or stolen, and while it may work on another carrier, it may catch up and get blocked there as well.

Well then your SOL. What you are trying to do is illegal and you will have to deal with it. Carriers are starting to share the Blocked IMEIs so even if you switch carriers you may still not be able to do it.
As stated, pay off your legal contract and they will unblock it.

You can try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidgram.bladeunlock
Really effective thing, to unlock you have to open the app, press menu, press Relock Phone and press Ok/Yes.
Of course you cannot unlock it yet until you fully paid it off so wait until that's done.

(q) micro usb cable purchase

I'm going to replace the micro USB cable that came with my Nexus 4. (The one from the stock charger). I need a cable which charges as fast as the stock one. I tried getting a cable from Mediabridge but they don't ship outside US.
I found those two on Amazon. They're almost the same, the one being 3.0 while the other one is 2.0. Is it the same which one I choose, and are those cables suitable for charging my nexus 4 with stock charger? Thanks.
Links:
2.0

3.0

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
2.0 Has issues with connections and the charging speed is not so good.
3.0 does not fit at all.
The best one is the Fosmon Flat Cable which is pretty good for its price, I even have one myself.
It is 2.1 AMPs out which does a good speedy charge on the Nexus 4, I even own a orange one and it is just so good.

And even if it did get blacklisted I can just get another motherboard and use that?

If I remember correctly, att and tmobile share the same database for blacklisting. Anyway, if it has a bad imei, it won't work in the usa, for all carriers.

It has a good imei I checked it and its unlocked.
If I buy it and the seller decides to report it stolen, can it still be used? The user said he has tmo on it, but bought the phone from Google. I'm on att, am I out of luck?
I don't plan on using it on att, its going to be used on Straight Talk

How can a nexus 4 get blacklisted if it's from play store anyways? You pay full price for it so it's yours. I understand if it is from T-Mobile then it can get blacklisted if it paying it in payments.

no idea but i think it would too much work for Google to do that and I highly doubt they would bother with it. Just pray the person doesnt report it. If so, be ready to move to another country to make it work .

[Q] Umm...Samsung thinks my Note 3 is the Developer Edition

Has anyone noticed this before. My phone is registered with Samsung, I am assuming since I logged in with my Samsung account or maybe checked some box when I set up my phone.
I am rooted so I have that Custom badge when I restart my phone.
I went to the Samsung website to see my registered Devices and it lists my phone as the Verizon Note 3 Developer Edition. It lists the correct ESN number and everything.
Is this normal?
Not sure if this is normal, but when I had a Note 2 I registered it with Samsung and it showed as the developer edition on Samsung's "my devices" page.

Or you could just go to a Verizon store and get one for free. Or call them and they'll send you one free.
