Hello. I've been getting a lot of emails on how to do that and i thought i should make a thread here.
Now you got to have the original box in which there is the imei written. I don't take any credit for this guide as i didn't write it but i found it somewhere here but it doesn't exist anymore. I'm not responsible for any damage may happen to your phone. I did it several times after flashing official 2.3.5.
It has worked fine with my IDEOS X5 U8800.

This procedure did not work for me. I found it a couple of weeks ago in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591997) and gave it a try (numerous times) without success. I was able to complete all steps up until actually writing the new IMEI. I attempted to write it a couple of dozen times without any success. It appears to work but the lMEI never actually changes.
I also found another procedure using a program called NVedit but it would give me an error stating the NV location was set to read only (I forget the actually wording). It seems that my phone has the location that contains my IMEI locked in some way that nothing can change it. So I gave up on that phone and am using a different one that I bought on eBay, brand new at a dirt cheap price ($27.00).

are you rooted? i remember having these issues when i flashed 2.3 after 4.2 rom. u first need ti flash 2.2 then 2.3 and that should work

Yes, I am rooted.
I started out on 2.2 way back in the beginning. Then I flashed 2.3.5. That's when I lost my IMEI and replaced the phone.
But I wanted to keep experimenting at getting it working 100% even though I had a new working, rooted, and customized phone. Using 5IromToolBox I restored a backup from the new phone to the broken phone just to see if it would work. Then I flashed Stallion-51-ICS custom ROM. It is a GB based ROM with look and feel of ICS.
When I run the procedure in this thread, everything looks as though it has worked, but the IMEI never changes. So what did 5Irom do differently that it was able to restore the backup from a different phone but I cannot use DFS or NVEditor to write to the locations? The back I made from the new phone and restored to the old one is Consumer Cellular so I suspect they have locked something out that 5Irom is able to get around but other tools don't.
On another note, just for the heck of it I tried to upgrade to ICS from GB and it fails on the first update step. Go figure.
If I could find a full-flash procedure for the pro and 51 versions of this phone I suspect I could resolve all issues. Who knows?
UPDATE: I went through the whole process again and noted a point I forgot to mention. In DFS at the bottom of the screen EQF is yellow, not green. I don't recall exactly what that means but in reading through the DFS doc, it states that writing a new IMEI is not possible as long as EQF is yellow. When I enter my IMEI and click on the WRITE command the response is "MODECHANGE OfflineD OK"

it should be green! what i would do is to flash 2.2 then 2.3.5 and follow again the steps very carefully! maybe u ever flashed a partition and it's not the default one? i can't really help you :/ try this and if it doesn't work make a thread in the q&a section

Yeah, I knew that it should be green. The bottom line is I do not have the 2.2 image to flash. I would have done that a long time ago if I had it. All I have is the DiskImage backup that I made off of my new phone. When I flashed it onto the old phone it starts, displays the Consumer Cellular logo for about ten seconds then shuts off immediately. As far as starting a thread in Q & A, I did that weeks ago and got nowhere fast.
Any link I have found for the original 2.2 for -51 and pro is usually a broken link. or it takes me to download that stupid iLivid program that doesn't do squat to get the files I need. I did find a DiskImage file that somebody made and posted but it is almost 4 gig in size. You are supposed to use Pink Screen to load it but Pink Screen only gives me access to the image directory and it's only 256 meg.
Thank you for your time and suggestions.
I believe in the wiki section there are links to default 2.2 and 2.3.5. The ones I found a long time ago were from Blefish, although I'm not sure. Good luck!

Hi.
I try to download the "Drivers for Android 32 and 64 bit win 7 (not tested )", but its a dead link. I run win7 pro, and somehow the 32 bit driver doesn't work.
Would like to try the 64 bit driver. Could u reupload it, please?
I just did a repost cause i veen asked a lot of times I don't have the files and I don't thinks drivers are needed. You could just install huawei's suite for PC

Hi All,
Many thanks for this post.
Iv recently installed the Blefish CM11 rom for U8800 and its works fine. Only issue I have is IMEI=0. I can make and receive calls and even use the mobile internet.
My question is - Is there a way to edit the IMEI no on KK4.4.2 ROM through entering in the engineering mode?
or else, will have to start from the beginning (stock rom process as mentioned in the OP).
thanks for your help.

Hi,
I haven't found out the way to fix it yet.
Only way I got to fix is to redo the stock rom, root, save the imei and the reflash the custom rom.
The reason for the imei issue was changing the partitions
thnx anyways
this guide that you have post it has been made by me and at least you should have say that is ported from me. Even the links that you have are in my acount. YOU ONLY COPY MY POST . you could ask me to repost it or just mention me. Check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876501
It may some of us need to have K zoom SM-C115 world on the Zoom 2 SM-C115L, then please followings:
1. Flash by ODIN system file from the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwmQ3F48xaJjaHV1VV9xRmVwTFU/view?usp=sharing
2. Phone will auto reboot.
Everything is OK, except Wifi lost password after every restart, so you could:
3. Flash by ODIN TWRP recovery (including Supersu installer) from the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwmQ3F48xaJjMWdXVWJUUDZrX0k/view?usp=sharing --> auto restart phone --> connect to internet to install Supersu --> restart --> ROOTED.
4. Copy “build.prop” from the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwmQ3F48xaJjVHhxdFd6MkpCOVE/view?usp=sharing --> Replace the existing one in …/system/ (set permission for the new “build.prop”)
5. Boot into recovery (press volume + and home and power button) --> wipe phone --> restart the phone.
YOU ARE DONE, YOUR PHONE BECOME SAMSUNG K ZOOM SM-C115
GOOD LUCK!
Thanks to 5up.vn for TWRP recovery

The wifi password lost after every restart, then you have to root your device to replace new build.prop for the existing one --> everything is ok!
hmm, i was install (fleshing) this it was work but can't recive any call signal can u check that?
Many thanks.
I've done it, but can you tell me if your 4G still working after ?
I'm now unable to run 4G
I'm wondering if it also able to get 4G+ on it ?
Tks
After Replace last step
After Last step .Restart with nothing show on screen
video
can you make a video to show how to do this installation...
Thanks for the post. It saved a lot of time of mine. But I think there is a minor flaw in the instruction. In No.3 the does not get rooted as you described, you have to install SuperSU binary to get root access. Otherwise, everything is good.
I'm still facing one problem though. When I insert a new SIM or restart my device I can not make calls or receive SMS untill I make random switchings in Settings> More networks> Mobile networks> Network mode.
And I can't turn off Haptic Feedback. Any possible solution???

Select htcdiag.inf (for 32bit) or HtcUsbMdmV64.inf (for 64bit) file that you will Open.
Accept all warning messages and let the installation of the driver complete.
5. Once everything is done installing, under Modems or Ports (Com & LPT) in Device Manager you will find HTC USB Modem.
Right click and select Properties; in this you will see Port: COM<number>. Remember that COM<number> or write it down.
6. Open QPST v2.7 Build 4.11 > run as administrator setup.exe (Don’t run QPST.2.7.411.msi)
7. Open QPST Configuration from Start Menu,
Go to the Ports tab,
Click on Add New Port (right bottom corner);
In the Port field type in the COM<number> you wrote down/remembered from step 5 and in Port Label type YU and finally click OK (left bottom corner).

11. Inside the NV Browser window,
Scroll down and click on line 01877 (rf_bc_config)
Click the Read button save original value in notepad in case something goes wrong.
Replace Input value with 3460734838925427584
Click on Write button.
12. Inside the NV Browser window,
Scroll down and click on line 00946 (band_pref_16_31);
Click the Read button, save original value in notepad in case something goes wrong.
Replace Input value with 0x0FF8 (please don't be an idiot and don't edit the empty one with "nam" in the name)
Click on Write button.
13. Inside the NV Browser window,
scroll down and click on line 02954 (band_pref_32_63);

click on Write button.
16. Now Close QXDM; Wait 30 seconds,
disable Android Debugging on your phone,
unplug it and reboot your device;
Once it comes back on, it might take a minute or two for it to acquire signal so don't panic.
DO this on your own risk.. No body is responcible for any lost
Conclusion:
The only real way to know if the whole thing got applied is to do steps 1 through 10 again (obviously skipping installations)
and reading all values or if you are in an area where you previously had bad or no reception.
You can see unlocked GSM/UMPTS bands from the *#*#4636#*#* /Phone information /Menu /Select radio band

Don't forget to put check marks on dual sims, and apply all settings to sim0 and sim1 (see attachment). By the way before u messed things up, back up your modemst1, modemst2, fsc, and fsg.
By the way we can also use qxdm to recover lost imei, just go to 0550, and insert your imei for SIM 1 (sim0 in qxdm) and SIM 2 (sim1 in qxdm), for example:
Code:
If your IMEI was: 954091051099226, then the boxes would look like so:
8
9a
45
90
1
15
90
29
62
or also recover lost esn (item no 0 and 5597) or meid (1943 and 5598).

Need help for prevent NV recovery from you all
If it's the same as the 1+1, replacing /system/bin/rmt_storage with a version not locked would prevent nv recovery (do you know if NV values were sticking in an older version? If so, take it's rmt_storage and try to replace current one with older one, I think it's worth trying)

Hmmm, as far as I know, all NV settings, including IMEI, or MEID, ESN, etc, resides in your modemst1 and modemst2 partition. If you don't believe me and eager to try, first make a backup of those two partitions, then format or wipe the two partition inside your phone (use fastboot to do this), I'll bet for your YU, now your IMEI and NV settings are all gone.
To be honest, I just found out from this thread that there is an rmt_storage in CM phones, wkwkwkwkw, . If the rmt_storage function is trough, then CM is locking the phone NV settings from the HLOS side not Non-HLOS side. I'll do some research on this rmt_storage.

Copy and paste (you can use TWRP's file manager to do this) the rmt_storage to "/system/bin" and change its permission (chmod) to 0755. This will make your changes stick upon reboot.
By the way, to use all these files, you need to be on stock CM 12.1. I haven't tried it on any other ROM.

I have tried doing this on Yureka - CM11 XNPH05Q. Installed all the drivers & softwares successfully. When I startup the QPST config to add a new port,
1. I have to uncheck the "Show serial and USB/QC diag ports only" to make the HTCUSBModem port visible.
2. Although I am able to add the port successfully I am unable to see the phone number, it says "No Phone".
Since it is unable to get the phone details I am unable to proceed further. Nothing is visible/editable QXDM. either.
I have manually edited the build.prop file to make sure USB debugging is enabled but to no avail. Please check the attached files, what is it that I am missing?
P.S - I am able to get my IMEI number using *#06#
Any suggestion Guys???

Guys, I am eagerly waiting for your updates
I'm leaving the country on Sunday and I need to be able to use my phone with an international SIM. What is the quickest way to international unlock it by then? I see a lot of conflicting information like I can't downgrade from NG2 or something like that. Any help?
Hope This helps.

if you need any help; please pm me, or search this site for answers. I am sure you are not the first person, to want to do this or to have this question.
Before you continue; please note that i am not liable for any damages, that may occur to any the devices you attempt this on.
To undo any and all of the changes that you are about to make to your phone(**NOTE** the following will erase all data on your phone so backup everything you want to keep.), (1) first download an app called MSL utility and write down your MSL code on a computer, or any other device maybe even pen and paper.(2) go to your phone settings hit activate this device when it is done loading do not click done.(3) click on the menu button and go to PST settings. (4) go to the ##SCRTN# menu and follow what it prompts you to do, your phone will then reboot automatically. (5) do steps 2 and 3 over again and go to the ##RTN# menu and follow the prompts your phone should than reboot automatically and now you should see an invalid SIM sign. **NOTE** any time it asks you to enter a code it means enter you MSL code. Remember to undo these steps first. (No. 2)**NOTE** when your done with steps below download BuildProp Editor(you must have root), and click on the pencil icon; scroll to the bottom, and add these two lines: ril.sales_code=LOL ro.csc.sales_code=LOL)
No. 1) = No, you do not need to downgrade.

with sim inside the apn should be set automatically. If not, well than google your apn, and add it manually.
done.
This is a re-post(i would thank whom ever posted this, though i do not recall where i found it.); because i am to lazy, to write it from scratch.
1. Use ssu.apk to unlock it first
2. use cf auto root to it
3 .use adb:
su
am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663368378
UMTS -> DEBUG SCREEN -> PHONE CONTROL -> NETWORK CONTROL -> GCF
There the phone is domestic unlock without downgrading the modem.
1. be on stock NG2. ssu.apk force-closes on aosp/custom roms.
2. Run ssu.apk and do the unlock. This does not require root.
3. do the other commands through ADB(step 3 Above), just in case. You may or may not need them. I don't know why it worked for me without them. That step DOES require root.
4. Test your sim card and make sure your phone can read it, and if possible, make a call, try text/data, whatever.
You're Welcome!
I had NAE i downgrade to mdc then unlocked it and after that i download firmware which is NG2-xas i think and after upgrading its still unlock.
For that method and files you can search international sim unlock.
Its easy to do it.

Thanks so much for the quick response!
Couple of things, I actually called Sprint to ask them to unlock it for international SIMs, and they said they'd go ahead and do it. I flashed back to Stock and did the UICC Unlock thing in the menu like they told me. The phone rebooted. I think it's unlocked then, correct? If not, I'll go ahead and do this method tonight.
Also, does this phone support LTE (Is that the right term) on international GSM networks or just 3g?
Thanks!

it may be unlocked; you would not know for certain unless, you attempt to insert an international sim card.
Depending on which country you are traveling to. Some countries only have 2-G, then there is some that use 3-G, some also utilize HAPA+, and LTE. It also depends on the sim card they give to you. If the give an LTE sim card, it may work (for LTE or HSPA+). Though it depends on which band/frequency, its relying on. click here to see LTE frequency data sheet. click here to select the country you are traveling to, this way you'll know if you will be able to be on a favorable network.

I don't know if that's true. What i do know is that the last time i was in Israel, i used Golan Telecom, and i only had a 3G connection. i do know that they state they have a 4G-Lte network, but i guess i'll have to find out in a few months from now.
good luck.
930U FIRMWARE
Those of you on Sprint that have been locked into the Sprint only firmware now can go back to the beloved U firmware...or flash a carrier firmware of your choice. If you are still on b4, I would stay, but if not, now is the chance to install the U firmware.
Check your current bootloader version. You may not be able to odin carrier firmware after install the U firmware.
I'll put the files in this Google Drive folder
1. Download Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD.zip (Check Odin Folder)
2. Download SM-G930U_B.zip this is the newest U firmware (Check G930U Firmware Folder)
SM-G930U_A.zip if you are on 'A' firmware and want to go back to carrier
SM-G930Ub9.zip if you are on '9' firmware and want to go back to carrier
3. Extract both zips
4. Open Odin
5. Place the files from SM-G930Uxxxxxxxx.zip into the correct BL, AP, CP, CSC blanks.
6. Put phone into download mode (power, home, volume down)
7. Connect phone to computer. Odin should now say phone is added. If not, install the Samsung phone drivers
8. Press START. This process will take about 10 minutes
9. Phone will reboot with new U firmware and Oreo installed.
HotSpot
1. download the QuickShortcutMaker app from the playstore.
2. Search for lte
3. Expand com.test.LTEfunctionality
4. Click on the new com.test.LTEfunctionality
5. Press Try
6. Scroll to LTE APN Settings
7. Click APN2 LTE internet (may be different outside of sprint)
8. Scroll to APN Type
9. Add " ,dun " The line should show read < default,mms,dun >
10. Click 3 dots to save
Random Questions/Answers:
1. Is it multi-csc? Yes, it should support any US carrier if your phone is carrier unlocked
2. Wifi Calling/VoLTE supported? Wifi Calling=yes; VoLTE=not sure, sprint doesn't support it.
3. Are XXX bands used with my carrier unlocked? All bands with major US carriers appear to be working. You can follow this guide for unlocking additional LTE bands to confirm or unlock more international bands. Change the dial code for the USB settings to ##3424#
________________________________________________________________________________
Old Stuff
The "U" Firmware will work on any G930 Galaxy S7 (basically, USA variants) and is the Samsung Galaxy Touchwiz OS without carrier bloat. There is Samsung Bloat, but some can be uninstalled or disabled with a program like Package Disabler Pro or just disable it under application manager.
This should not trip Knox and will allow you to flash back to your original stock firmware. Warranty should not void, but I'm not responsible for bricked devices, exploding batteries, crying babies, Earth crushing meteors. If you have a question, best to ask it first!
There is an OTA to PG9 after you install this firmware. Feel free to upgrade after you flash this!
Installation:
1. Download
Updato Firmware Website or Sammobile Firmware Website or PL2 Firmware Google Drive (post 365 for MD5)
2. Extract files. May be best to download files over a wired connection!
3. Open ODIN and place the BL; AP; CP; CSC from the rar in the corresponding slots.
4. Place phone in download mode. Power + Vol Down + Home
5. Connect Phone to computer
6. Odin should recognize your phone. If not, you need to download and install the Samsung Driver Files
7. Press Start
8. It should flash the "U" Firmware.
____________________________________________________
Pit Mapping Error Fix
1. Download the Pit File Here
1a. You will have to down the Sprint PE1 firmware from Pit File Here or Pit File Here
The bootloader changed from v3 to v4 after the PGx update. If you are going to odin the latest firmware, you shouldn't have any issue. Going back to PGx to PCx/PEH will require this.
2. In Odin click the tab that says "Pit"
3. Odin will pull up a Warning dialogue. Click ok.
4. Click the long rectangular "Pit" button to select the pit file
5. Select the file that says "HEROQLTE_USA_SPR.pit" from the files you downloaded from my link.
6. With the pit file nw included, Add the AP, CP, and CSC files again and flash. (may need to reboot and go back into download mode)
7. Now odin the older 'U' firmware
____________________________________________
You cannot root this firmware with the Sprint model. Here are some apps that will give you some root/xposed features without them.
HotSpot
1. Download Shortcut Master Lite
2. Search for LTEfunctionality
3. Click on com.test.LTEfunctionality
4. Launch
5. Scroll down to LTE APN Setting
6. Add " ,dun " to APN2 LTE and EHRPD internet under APN type. That line should read default, mms, dun when you finish.
7. Native Hotspot should work. You may have to do this hack again if you update Profile.
Ad Blockers
None of these block ads on Youtube completely. Some will let you route through their servers to filter ads on Youtube via a VPN.
1. Adhell Uses Samsung Knox to block ads and trackers. Blocks most things on webpages and apps (no youtube), but saves a ton a battery since it doesn't require VPN. Also, it is FREE and well supported!
2. Disconnect Pro Similar to Adhell, but a paid app. Search the Galaxy App Store to buy it. Uses Samsung Knox too.
3. Ad Guard. Best I've used, but is a paid app for the good features.
4. AdClear. Some have had success with this, I've had mixed results.
5. BlockThis! Works well, but caused issues on some webpages.
Youtube Ads
This doesn't block ads, but it does silent and auto skip them. Cygery
Skip Tracks With Volume Keys
1. Frinky Music Controller Allows you to skip tracks with screen off.
2. Noyze Not sure if still being developed, but works. Let's you skip tracks by long pressing with screen off.
Voicemail Issue
I use Google Voice, so this worked for me. It is/was free to integrate your number with Google Voice...highly recommend if they still do it.
Install this apk for Sprint Visual Voicemail apk It will give you an error, but will take away the annoying voicemail notification. Then you can just hide the notification in the android settings and your problem will be solved. May work if you have regular voicemail, but probably not since it needs to write to system.
Doze Related
Remember to whitelist apps you want running in the background...like Pandora, Google Music, etc. I would leave them off at first and if it cuts off when the screen is off, you need to white list it.
For me, these both work best together and I saw a difference running both as opposed to either solely.
1. ForceDoze puts your phone into doze mode without the motion detectors and 30 minute wait. Great app! Does require you to install adb (adb installer) since you have to run a command to get it to run properly. Check Disable motion sensing and turn off while charging
2. Greenify The auto hibernation works great if we had root, but we don't. It works, but can be extremely annoying at times and can drain battery because it may continuously try to force stop/close an app you greenify. Plus, it will take a few seconds to re-unlock your phone immediately after you turn off the screen. However, I use it with force doze for the aggressive doze. I saw a difference in battery life by using them both.
Other Tips
Besides the obvious of gmail/facebook/whatspp/twitter/snapchat syncing
1. Turn off wi-fi scanning
2. Back up my data for Samsung and Google under back up and reset
3. Turn off some features under advanced features in settings...for example, palm swipe to capture if you never use it
4. Location History under Location
5. Change locating method...I leave mine on GPS, wi-fi, mobile, but some people want more battery life and turn it off.
6. Turn on developer options and change animations to 0.5
7. Turn off Always on Display under settings > display. I like it, so I leave it on...but takes about 2% an hour
Old stuff
Has anyone tried the 930U firmware for our Sprint phones (930P)? They seem to have success with it (935U) over at the Sprint S7 Edge forums.
On the Edge forums, they said you can root, but it messes with LTE/call abilities. However, it removes all Sprint bloatware and apparently allows for hotspot tethering.
According to the Edge forums, it is the universal firmware, so it should work on any qualcomm chipset phone. The firmware is for the Galaxy S7 Special Edition ( Link to Sprint site about it )
Anyway, here is the thread on the AT&T forum about it if you are interested. Didn't see a thread or info about here, so I was just wondering.
1. Download

If you have a good tip or trick, let me know and I'll add it to the OP for easy reference.
I flashed it on my G930P and its working very well. Samsung pay is also working. The only problem is that it didn't get the latest security update. Hope this helps.

That technique won't work with that version. I only got it to work on PE1 by rooting. I read that you can use PDAnet via the USB tether option.
