Hi mate ,
Not clear your problem , you can call , you have data , what you mean hidden? what do you get when you type *#06#? same imei as in the sticker behind your battery?
Hi,
if I type *#06# i see "IMEI /01" only. I not see other numbers.
When I go to settings --> info I see IMEISV /01 and IMEI: unknow.
I also check EFS folder with root explorer and it seems is ok because inside have other folders and in particular imei folder with file mps_code.dat.
Thank you

If the phone works and makes calls, don't mess with it.
Messing with the IMEI is likely to break it.
This is a classic case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Who cares if it displays an UNKNOWN instead of a number? All the IMEI does is authenticate your phone on the cell network. If it's authenticating it, then it's working. Don't mess with it.

Hi,
It has been always like this?
The only thing i can think of is to reflash a stock rom ( odin) and see if it helps, maybe is firmware related , BEFORE you do make sure you have a copy of your EFS folder

Put another SIM card in it. See if it works. If it does, then sell it with confidence. (I bet it would work)
Past that what you are asking for now is how to change the IMEI, even if you are asking how to change it to the actual IMEI. It's the same steps as changing it to a stolen IMEI so we do not discuss that on XDA.

It is not true. I do not want to change imei of my phone. I know very well that it is illegal!
I only want to solve the problem of IMEI / 01 because it does not seem right to me to sell with this issue.

I will say this again....if you want to change it from UNKNOWN to a number, then that is changing it. Even if you are using a legitimate IMEI for the phone. The procedure to do that is the same procedure that is used for illegally changing it from a bad IMEI to a working IMEI from a donor phone.
I don't believe you are trying to do anything illegal, but the process to do what you are asking is the same process as doing it for illegal reasons. Therefor, we don't discuss it here.
Again though, your phone isn't broken. It's working fine. So you should be able to sell it without issue. You can confirm it's sellable by putting the buyer's sim card in the phone to test it for a connection to a tower. If it works, it's a good phone.
Also stop looking up the IMEI with the 06 code.
Look in SETTING -> ABOUT PHONE -> STATUS
That should show your IMEI there. If it shows it there, then stop worrying about it. It's just the text code that's being goofy, not the actual IMEI.

anyone knows that?
What do you mean? By a program you are writing or just because you dont know your IMEI?
As for the program, I dont know, the last thing I touched was Visual Basic 6 a couple years ago...
As for the IMEI in general: dial " *06# " (without the quotes) and it will display the IMEI. Or check the package of your device, its written on it as well or as a last resort, remove the battery, there is a sticker on the back of the device carrying the IMEI.

Yes it does not work I have tried it. BTW does anyone have anytool for changing imei?
hi,
guys, you don't need to change phone's EMEI. What you need is to use MultyDID app (see the link for procedure http://forum.djawir.com/smartphone-...99-my-collection-smartphone-apps-games-5.html ). This program perfectly works for NAVITEL NAVIGATOR GPS-program, and I'm sure it will work for other GPS-apps as well.
Rgds.
change imei
i use mtty's mb command to peak into the memory and found the address for the following...
9DDD6C-9DDD7C: CID (ie. HTC__001)
9DDD7C-9DDD89: IMEI
9DDD94: SECU_FLAG (ie. 0 or 1)
i tried using mw to write the memory but the value wont stick... anyone know how to make the values sticky?
^^^ does anybody know?
For what purpose would you want to change the IMEI number for this way?
If a software will not accept your phones IMEI number you should contact the manufacturer/retailer. If it being installed because it wasnt meant for that particular phone then I'm afraid you should look elsewhere for solutions.
Guys, I'll be honest with you changing IMEI numbers to install software sounds like what it is without having to spell it out and I would be grateful if we wouldnt encourage it here on the Polariis forums by entertaining these type of posts.
Many thanks.
Hi,
I have a HTC Polaris that has a blanked out IMEI, it has been like this for months and as such does not connect to the GSM network.
I have tried editing NV 550 IMEI with QPST however it is read only.
The first person to post or email me a solution will be sent £50 via Paypal. Thank you.
send the phone to a HTC repairer, they would do it for around 50 pounds!
Htc quoted almost as much as a new phone on ebay!
they what?? that just does not sound right.
maybe flashing again helps

It is stupid. I was messing around a bit with the phone so when I tried to have it warranty repaired it was sent back, so thats not an option either.
Thanks for your message Adelja.
Unfortunately the IMEI has been completely blanked out. The phone is not bricked, I just cant access the phone system because of invalid IMEI.
I have tried flashing many times, but it does not alter the NV item 550 (IMEI). I need a way of making NV 550 (IMEI) writable and not read only.

Go to a phone shop, buy another one. Swap the phones over. Take it back to shop. Get refund. oh hangon, think thats illegal. cant find delete key.
Hey matt, go into the Athena Threads of this website. Look for a user (lady), senior member name cmonex. I think she might can help you with this.
She is phenomonal. I never have had to ask her questions....she has helped so many people that alot of her knowledge is on the thread.
Anyway, PM her and see what she says. I think I remember her been very familiar with IMEI!!!
Its a try.
Thanks for your continued advice all.. keep it coming!

how did you wipe out the imei in the 1st place? maybe that will give a clue of how to write it back.
tried device_info...not working for polaris
tried WST some time ago too... i remember it can only read imei but can't write...
the unlocker and hard-spl has nothing to do with imei...
hi i have problem with my imei after unlocking sim code got some extra two digitals in the end... its existing any program for blackstone to edit that??? or any good idea how to fix that?
I thought that the IMEI is an unique number for every device, and it cannot be changed in any way.Someone correct me if i am wrong.

IMEI can be changed for any phone if you have the appropriate software, but it is illegal to change IMEI number in some country.
The last two digits are your SVN "software version number" there is no need to change them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mobile_Equipment_Identity
Hi,
So I'm abroad right now with my unlocked sprint s4. I can use the sim card to call and sms without any problem, but I don't have access to data, eventhough my plan includes it!
also,when going to system update-->uicc unlock, it says:"mobile data not available"....what does it mean? How can I resolve it and define my apn settings???
This is so annoying for such an expensive device and a "world" one!
Please help....
Thanks!

My phone is rooted...the question is: do I have to flash a customized rom over the stock rom in order to gain access to this option? In the stock rom sprint/Samsung eliminated this option, you can't change the apn manually!
I'd really appreciate if you can help or if someone knows if a customized stock (also recommend which one is better) can get/let me access these apn settings.
Thanks!

Hi,
Had the exact same issue and got it fixed ..
here is how..
if your phone is already rooted..
open play store :
Download any APN database (i use HiAPN ) .. install
use titanium back up(PRO) to make that a system app.
if PRO version not available use root explorer to move the .apk to system/data..
Restart Phone.. SU will pop-up allow .. and Voila!!!
First post helping someone .. please do let me know how it goes ..

Hi,
I'm going to try it now, but didn't completely understand: Can I do it over the stock sprint rom? I prefer to leave it as is right now, and not add/replace with a customized rom...
Where do I find this apn database? Can I edit it with my local carrier apn settings?
Also, How do I use the titanium backup app to make the apn database to an app?
Isn't the HiAPN an app to begin with?
Also, Do you have the "sprint" s4 as well?
will this work with any apn tweaking program or database?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I've been using this forum for years and years, always finding solutions to my rooting, rom or whatever problems but I'm getting to the bottom of it with this new one.
Here is the situation :
- I tried to install a ROM, it crashed, got my EFS partition delete.
- I didn't have any backup (I know, I know, I screwed up)
- I asked a friend with the same phone to send me a TWRP backup of his phone
- Now, I have a working S8, but with no IMEI
I still have my IMEI number from my phone that I would like to inject into the EFS partition. Is there a way to do that ? I don't want to change IMEI, I only want to reinstall mine. I'm trying to find IMEI tools to do that, but in a legal way (I know it's illegal to talk about IMEI change here). Or maybe an idea would be to generate efs.img files ?
If anyone has a good idea, I'll take it !
Thanks

You can't. Imei is cert protected. It has to be wrote to the device with a new cert file. Paid service my friend only way. Try flashing your stock firmware with proper baseband and such. Btw imei isn't in the efs like it used to be. That's about all of the help you will find here on it
