[Q] how to change IMEI for Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hay!
I have my new rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500
and I need to change my IMEI number
please help me to find any way
Thanks so much

Can't. The whole point of an imei code is it is specific to your exact phone, for identification purposes etc.
I'd say if there was a way to change it, it is most likely illegal.

I am a visitor to Turkey and there you have to pay almost 50$ to make your mobile phone works on there or the network would be shout down after 10 days from the first time you work on the Turkcell
it is unreasonable to pay this amount of money just to work fine during my one month visit

Thanks for helping
If I installed the omega room do I will be able to change the imei number? And how will be the process (using Android terminal emulator like example?)

Umm that's something you'll have to Google around the interwebs. I'd give you a hand privately so no one here gets peeved but I personally haven't done such a thing I've only just had to fix imei #'s

IMEI Change for HTC Leo, HTC HD2

Hello,
I need to change my IMEI#. Is there a way for performing this issue.
Thanks in advance...
Best regards,

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***

we can give you a code what should i do any ideas

Just give them your IMEI number.
Dont give them your IMIE. When they check it, and it turns out to be your HD2. They will then get your mobile blocked.

NO-ONE has had a phone blocked. You're just spreading a rumour that someone (probably you) made up.
Go try and get a code and see... Watch this space...

Its just a single post, but it seems like they at least check if its a real HD7. Im not if there is a list of each produced HD7 imei or if its possible to generate HD7 imei´s for that purpose

Cheers mate. I'm quite happy cos that's totally the opposite of what numpty was saying earlier about blocking people's phones after taking their IMEI number. LOL
So fair enough, they obviously have a way of checking if an IMEI number is valid somehow. That'll obviously stop them giving out activation codes to people that don't have a valid phone.
I guess it's just luck of the draw then, cos they didn't even ask me for one.

I gave my imei they can only block services to live they would need to get the carrier to block the phone but they can not do that as they have no idea who supplies my phone services
Ignore the IMEI scaremongers...
Hey all, I phoned up the UK support line yesterday, was patched through to the Windows Phone section (odd that you're put through to US support ) and the very nice woman on the other end asked for my full name, phone number, make and model, mobile operator, email address and my IMEI. I gave her everything. She then put me on hold for a few minutes, before confirming my details and reading my code out to me. All in all it took about 5 mins, including being on hold. My phone is still working, I haven't been blocked, or blacklisted, or lost my house, my car or my friends and relatives.
Ignore the misers and just give them your IMEI number.
P.S. - I told them I had the HD7 and gave them O2 as the mobile operator (as they are the only ones who stock it in the UK) - I then said I bought it through ebay and that I was using it on the Vodafone network. They could have checked all this using my IMEI number, so quite clearly they don't give a damn about it.

unless you know the exact memory addresses of anything sprint related, no. sure you can swap ESN's and change MIN's with a verizon device, but there is missing data that can't be changed easily. I've tried before,..
p.s. It's a felony

I do, but PRL is only 1/10th of the problem. and the EVO 4G is completely different and the memory address on that would be a different location on this phone.
I won't stop you from trying, but here you go. It's all the DFS information

You use a standard VERIZON PRL.

Swapping esn's is against the law and therefore against xda's rules. That's why he wanted to help via pm. Word of advice, don't be an asshole and call people out like that when they are only trying to help you. :thumbup:

I obviously posted my number for a reason, I have an android device, with the ability to block numbers from texting me.
I've been here long enough to know what threads get trolled, and which do not.
I'm trying to do the same thing except I'm trying to switch to straight talk and I have a sph-d720. I need to know if there's a certain sim card I need to get from straight talk?
I've flashed one to Page Plus (a prepaid network that uses Verizon), and it works fine.
I used these instructions: http://bubhutsa.blogspot.com/2011/11/nexus-s-4g-pageplus.html
I initially had an issue getting it to activate because the esn was incorrectly printed under the battery, but customer support recommended I try the esn number in the status menu, which worked. Other than that, it wasn't all too difficult if you are comfortable modifying your phone.
You would probably be happy with a used gsm nexus s and prepaid TMobile

At XDA it is not warmly welcomed to sort out your problem how to restore the functionality of the stolen phone for you.
however, if I can provide you with the advice, go to the thief and ask him.
Changing the IMEI is illegal in most countries and as such we do not allow discussion of this on XDA.

Illegal. Doing something on your friend won't make an illegal action legal afterwards.
We do not condone this kind of action on here. Thread request closure.

Using it on your friends account does not make it legal. I'm surprised you have any friends at all if you're trying to hack their accounts.
XDA will not help you here, we do not allow illegal activity within these forums, thread closed.
