Only way is to send it in to LG. People change IMEI when the phone has been black listed due to being stolen. I would return the phone to where you bought it.

Contact your service provider [Customer Care]..Becouse they have sent you that msg and tell him that you are using a valid IMEI no starting with 35xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.... i think that problem will be solved shortly...

Are you kidding? Why not to use search firstly?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49945052
Check out the other threads before posting.
There are plenty of threads on the subject
sorry, I am new to the area , I did search and found many threads about unlocking but got lost and it took off the edge , enough of what I have written seem somewhat alien , but I downloaded some tools ask me a password provider or technician LG, I do not want to do damage to the device and so I ask help from you that what you experienced also my English is not very good and some things you do not understand and that I do with google translator.
if it bothers you, my question and my ignorance I ask again apologize and ignore my issue.
You need just to root and edit build.prop in system folder.
Use the link i provide you.
You can root with iroot.

Don't use this with no IMEI!
Only use with no BASEBAND not no IMEI and BASEBAND. It causes more damage.

Imei comes built-in free with phone, no need to pay for this.
Yes ı know. But our country is sh.t. we pay 70-80 dollar's imei active. I need change my imei. anyone know anything ?
Problem with that is that you could also be a thief who is trying to change the IMEI of his stolen phone.. There are tools for everything, but I'm not sure that an IMEI Changer is allowed on XDA, since I see tons of potential ways for it to be used in illegal ways..
but this phone is new. very new.ı search everywhere.ı cant find any solution.Programs does't working.ı try everything.But zero zero zero.

No Network or Conmection After Flashing The Stock Rom on S8+

Hello guys,
I am sorry if i have opened the thread in the wrong place. I am having a serious problem with my S8+ and im starting feel like it became a trash anymore. So i bought this phone in France as i live here. I went to Turkey for my work for 6 months and i had to change the imei number in illegal way to use my phone there. They rooted my phone and somehow put a new imei into it in order to have connection. After i am back to France i tried to flash a stock rom and it was successful but i relized soon after that i have no network and whenever i try to get some it keeps giving me an error " Error while searching for network " . I check my imei number with *#06# and i have an imei number but it is different than my original imei number which is written in the box. Did i lose my Imei or what? I check EFS file, it is there. No one in France is able to fix it and since i have a crack on the screen , it voids the warranty , so no Samsung option , as well . I would deeply appreciate if someone could help me with this problem.
Thank you so much in advance.

Not gonna find much help on here mate. Not with the imei being changed. We're don't really discuss things like that in xda. But I can tell you. They didn't change the imei with root. It's cert based. Which means they totally rewrote it and new cert for the device.
