Imei number is now different?

I had recently flashed my rom to wm6.5 without thinking much at all.
I then find out that my imei is now different from what is printed on hte phone (under the battery)
As I dont really like the WM6.5 rom, I used the rom from this thread to go back to wm6.1, everything looks the same as i 1st got the phone. BUT the imei shown in "Device ID" and "About" remains different from the original imei on the phone. I also checked it by *#06#.
So where did I get this imei no from? Did i get it from the wm6.5 roms?
I search and yet to find a tool to edit the imei yet. any advice from anyone pls?

Hello Frank, have a custom Rom wm 6.5 installed aswell and indeed my IMEI also changed. Did not pay attention to it sofar, so thanks for pointing this out.....
Think that a different IMEI is not so much an issue unless you have to bring it to HTC for repair.....therefor always the recommendation to back-up your original Rom.....with original IMEI

Change of the IMEI might be the problem. And the big one. As I know, changing of IMEI is illegal in almost all countries and might be prosecuted. Also your mobile phone operator can put it on blacklist and you will not be able to connect to network. More here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276851
Anyway, there are some tools available, but I can't point you directly. Try to google them.
frankbeer, Frank Caarls: Which ROM do you use? I can take a closer look at it. And please send me that new changed IMEI via PM.

The last 2 digits of the IMEI can change, they are the Software Version Number (SVN).
Only the 1st 15 matter.
Dave

Hello Dave, is correct....last 2 digits changed......my IMEI under battery only shows first 15 numbers.....

Frank Caarls: Then you are making false alarm. Next time please study, what is IMEI and from how much number it is composed. And as I told you changing of IMEI is a problem and that is why I posted that link, so please make fun from somebody else. Btw. you cannot backup IMEI in your ROM.

[Q] No Cellluar network

Okay, so hear me out guys. I have a I9505 (duh) running the foxhoundrom, but when I tried to update from 2.0 - 3.0 I got a bootloop, but the problem is. When I got out of the bootloop, I didn't have any mobile connections.. (screenshot one) Me being such a dork as I am, thought I could fix it on my own, in the settings for changing Network Operators. It takes ages to load them upm and if I connect to one of them, I get and can use the connectivity for a while. Until I lock my phone and unlock it again actually. I heard something about IMEI? No idea what that is, but my IMEI code found via *#06#
But I have a original sim card, it's right and stuff, I have no idea what happend...
I really need help fixing this..

Firstly, Remove your IMEI number from your post. It's confidential information and someone can use it illegally if they wanted to.
Secondly, To fix your issue of connection the new 4.3 based ROMs need the new MJ5 Modem to work properly.
Flash the MJ5 modem and your problems will be gone

Please install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, press Menu > 'Refurbishment Check' to see if your phone has any issue with the refurbishment?

i think your IMEI is on black list, after i install custom rom i decide to go back to stock then when i flashed stock rom im getting IMEI null... my advice is send your phone to repair shop and they try to fix your origiinal IMEI but if they cant fix there are one more solution they will change your IMEI from the Original one. that is my advice its up to you.

do you mean the original printed one is on blacklist ? why it would be ?
what was you imei situation before you flash stock and custom rom , they were different too ?
i will check with repair shop about this problem and see what they can do
there is any way to change imei to the printed one under battery ?

What is your actual problem now? If you still can make calls and send/receive text messages so no problem. Just use it.
Discussing about changing imei on xda is prohibited. And it's also not so easy.
As the check result using 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' app, your device is a refurbished one. That means it is not a original (genuine) one. Its hardware has been modified or repaired or replaced etc...

Yes its possible to change IMEI from the Original IMEI.

[A452] [MIUI v8] MIUI GLOBAL 8.0.2.0

MIUI v8 for ZTE Blade A452 (Global 8.0.2.0 version)​
Hi everyone!
This is (i think...) fully functional MIUI v8 for ZTE Blade A452. According to my research, it's first working custom ROM for A452. And to be clear, I didn't port this ROM at all, I just patched Blade X3 ROM to work with A452. The biggest issue was camera. Front camera was up-down flipped and the rear was dead. I managed to fix it by replacing some libraries.
Instalation:
Flash TWRP Recovery onto your device (link to TWRP below)
Wipe device
Install the ROM by installing .zip package
Wipe the device again
Reboot and enjoy !
The device may hang in welcome creator, but just keep resetting it until you finish the creator (I'm working to fix it)
Despite first-use troubles, whole ROM work flawlessly, in my opinion a lot better than stock one.
If you found any bugs, please write a comment with description and I'll try to fix it ASAP.

Hey bro i downloaded your rom and it's working fine except one thing, my baseband is unknown and also my imei is unknown too, i have a backup of my nvram though, what can i do? Thanks men

Hmm, that's strange... Restoring NVRAM fixed your IMEI issue?

Thanks in advance men and keep up the great work

Did you try this?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2695909

Hello everyone,
First thank you very much SP2FET,
I am using the rom you patched, its working great, thank you for that.
I also lost the Imei for both SIM . I have already tried to restore the NVRAM and AT command using MTK engineering but it fails showing a warning sign after sending the AT comman. The above link you wrote asks to put the stock rom again and to delete the partition. I am trying to restore the IMEI without having to put back the stock rom.
according to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2269740, it was the soft imei that was lost, and probably the hard imei stands.
In the mean while if anyone has a solution please share it.

Solution to the lost IMEI
I was able to solve the lost by creating a IMEI.bak with Mobileuncle MTK IMEI Write Tool and restoring IMEI using MobileUncle Tools .
the process is described here

sim card
Hello i instal the rom but the phone dont reconize my sims card . do you have a fix for this ? thanks

I can't change the wake up display...every 5 seconds its close the display..and also it's quite hard to scroll down the notification bar....otherwise the ROM is great and smooth

When I was downloading apps from playstore, it's cancelled by itself after the screen goes off and i have to redownload the apps again........how to fix this?

hello Andre,
this is the problem described as loss of IMEI by installing a new rom. There are many ways to fix this, I posted one solution above. Your best bet is to flash IMEI using a flashtool, can be tricky because you need to install proper drivers.

Wrong system informations + wrong dual imei

hey, glad you wanna help!
my dad has a galaxy S8 SM-G950F, but in the device info it says it is a SM-G950FD.
The serial number is the right one, like on the back from the phone.
It shows me two imei numbers (just the last number is different in the imei numbers), so like it is a dual phone (G950FD).
We are from germany, he bought it here in germany and he was in turkey, i don`t know what they did there, but they changed the software and how it seems the imei numbers.. plus there was some extra apps (so they messed up with the phone...)
My thought was, okay give it a clear wipe with odin and use stock firmware for germany (G950FXXS8DTC6)
that worked, but it still shows the deivce info SM-G950FD, in Download Mode it says it is a SM-G950F
So i don`t really care about the imeis or if the device info says s8 dual or not.
The Problem is, the network is not working, i tried different sim cards, reset, wipe etc.
it says not registred in network
Do you have any thoughts how to solve this problem?
I know it is illegal to change the imei, but i would like to know if this would be the solution? I dont ask here how to do it
thank you for reading!
