Blacklisted imei mate. Try swapping phones with someone overseas. There are websites that do it. If my phone wasn't trashed I'd offer to trade mine for a small fee.
Yup, sounds like he reported it stolen or whoever he stole it from finally reported it.
Couldn't you just use someone's efs backup?

You're pretty much screwed unless your carrier whitelists your device again. Cloning or using a different IMEI won't make things better. It will in fact get you blacklisted again the minute your carrier sees that there are two identical IMEIs out there. IMEI numbers are unique, so if your carrier is cooperating with other national and international carriers, they will catch that IMEI and blacklist it again. But this time they won't only blacklist your device, but also the other one too, screwing another guy in the process. This is why you never ever reveal your IMEI online, and it's why reviewers on YouTube will hide the IMEI in the video.
Call your carrier and ask them why they blacklisted it. If they say it's a stolen phone, then tell them your story.
What if you used a efs from another country. For example new Zealand? Also would a efs backup of a say... galaxy s4 work? If the person is never going to where ever you live in the world it would work wouldn't it?

That would work, unless your carrier is big. If it's a big one like T-Mobile, Telenor, Vodafone, China Mobile etc. they'll probably have a cooperation in place where they share IMEI stuff between each other. This way it's a lot harder for criminals to move stolen devices across borders. It also makes the lives of Chinese OEMs who clone IMEIs to make their own "fake" devices work, a lot harder.
But I wouldn't use another person's IMEI unless that person was aware of it first.
So using a s4 or s5 efs backup would work on a gs7 variant?

NEVER EVER EVER mess with your efs partition!!! Any tampering with that will end up with a 000000000000000 imei or the default one of 004999010640000 which is usually black listed cause its a defualt. That will make your phone unable to register on ANY network anywhere in the world...
There are safeguards built into the lowest levels of android to detect any efs tampering!
Anyone know if it would work using a s5 imei which is no longer being used?
Same thing happened to me!! Bought a S7 Edge and even checked the Imei before committing to the sale... The next day it wouldn't connect. I thought something was wrong with my Sim, got a new one and brought it into the carrier - they told me it must've been reported stolen and the carrier couldn't even help me find the original owner. So now I'm stuck with a phone I have no clue to do with.
Motherboard swap....
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Do not mess with efs... like other users said it will just make things worse.. it's illegal for a reason.. otherwise I could call my provider now and claim stolen and get another phone sent and have 2 s7e for price of one if it was that easy...
never buy new phones from anywhere apart from official suppliers... not worth the discount.
Only fix is motherboard replacement with a clean IMEI
Or
Sell/swap overseas
I just did a motherboard swap for a different reason. It was pretty easy.

I bought a phone from craigalist. The seller mentioned that it was Tmobile nexus 4 but now bad imei. I bought it knowing it was bad on tmobile. But it doesn't even work with att sim as well. Are they now sharing black listed phone among each other. Anyway I bought it for international use but just wondering if something else might not be wrong besides being bad imei on network. Thanks

have you tried it in tmo? and, did you manually input the right apn for att into the phone(it needs the att apn, its not included in the default setup. tmos apn is included). and yea, they sometimes share blacklisted imei.

If I put Tmobile sim. It comes as Tmobile APN automatically. And when I put att sim. It comes as att automatically. But I though APN was just for data. I have no bars and not connected to network. I don't want to send phone international and that thing is got something else wrong.

If the phone is blacklisted by TMo it won't work on any network in the US as they started sharing blacklisted IMEI's to a central database in 2012.

Only way to get a blocked imei is not paying T-Mobile for the phone or it was reported stolen. So technically it's a stolen phone ethics 101

I don't know what the laws are in the US, but in most countries if you try to sell a stolen object knowing that it was stolen from its rightful owner, it's a criminal offence even if you paid for it. So OP will never be able to sell his phone. Secondly, if the police ever do show up, OP will have to hand the phone over without receiving any sort of compensation.
Since the description didn't mention the phone being stolen, can't OP request a refund for the phone from his credit card company (or whatever payment method he used)?

I've never met anyone on Craigslist who took credit cards. The phone could have been reported lost or stolen to TMo which would then put it on the blacklist. But also I could see where that if you stopped paying your TMo bill before the end of your contract, which the handset is a part of as its subsidized, TMo would blacklist it as in effect it is now a stolen phone.

It all depends on how you bought it. If you paid cash, you might be out of luck. If you used a credit or debit card, then perhaps your provider offers some kind of refund policy. If it was PayPal, then you can likely get the refund.

Lol sorry guys i probably shouldve added more details..
Ok.. Heres the story... Transaction took place on Craigslist..
So I had a blue color galaxy S3 and didnt like the color, traded it for a new nexus 4.. Nexus 4 was fine, and I was really wanting a titanium S3.. Found the S3 and bought it.. Sold the nexus 4 to a guy for 310.. The nexus 4 was working great until yesterday.. Guy calls me up thinking i sold him a stolen phone.. As far as I knew it was a good phone, i check the imei and it says its been reported stolen, so i offer to give the guy back his money.. Now im stuck with a blacklisted N4.. Need help. Anywhere I can go to revive the phone? Or anywhere I can sell it to? What are my options? Is it possible to flash a ROM or do something when rooted to change the Imei..? At least make it useable because the guy i originally traded with decided to change his number and now im out $310.. whats the best thing to do? I cant go to the cops, they will tell me im associated with the theft, asked tmobile they want to fill out a bull**** report..
is there a way to flash a Rom or something to maybe hide the Imei or something? Use a different carrier? unlock it even though its unlocked?
Or should i get my mini screw drivers and start to disassemble it to sell for parts? Man i feel ****ty doing this.. I mean im so against stolen things and i just hate to deal with it ugh

You can buy stuff off of CL, but you have to be smart. I've bought dozens of phones off CL (and sold) and was only burned once. I bought an Atrix 4G with a wonky touch screen. Actually, I bought an EVO 4G with a wonky touch screen too but that was just my fault, I showed up to meet the guy a little intoxicated lol. Anyway, when I bought my Nexus 4 (new) I had the guy bring the receipt from Google Play and give it to me. I also asked a lot of questions....

Those are both rather silly remarks.
You're a victim, why would the police be anything but sympathetic to you? And it's not a bs report, it's a report detailing the crime. Maybe they can track the original scammer down with that report. Maybe your insurance co will reimburse you with that report. Don't lose whatever small chance you have by being too lazy to fill out some paperwork.

You sure the dude just didn't "buy" the nexus 4 and then give you back a non working Nexus 4 and you give him his money back. Did the nexus you get back match up with the one you gave to him. Like serials and stuff

If this helps... I'm from Belgium and I bought my phone off someone from England.
Got a pretty good deal too (as it was new)
The catch was that it was blacklisted too...he sent me the reportcard and apparantly that stated that it was only blocked by 2 providers. None of which I am using.
So maybe switching providers could work OR since Belgium has no (or nearly no) providers linked to the phones as they don't come in deals the phone just works, blacklisted or not. So try selling it abroad and buy buy yourself a new one.
I doubt that you can unblock it.
Is it blacklisted by T-mobile or Google? If it is blacklisted by T-mobile it should work on AT&T and it will definitely work overseas.

No it won't as all the major US carriers started reporting to a national blacklist database as of October of 2012.

The database is launched, but the carriers are not sharing IMEI's yet. Bad ESN Verizon phones work on other carriers and blocked T-mobile or AT&T phones will still work on the others network. The thing is, not only does the IMEI have to be entered into the database, but the carrier manually has to apply that to their own database to effectively block it from their network.
And, a blacklisted phone will most definitely work overseas.

Hey XDA,
I noticed that the note 3 I bought has a different IMEI in the settings menu as opposed to the IMEI listed on the sticker on the back of the phone.
The phone works fine as it connects to the LTE network here in Canada (Rogers) but it has older software, 4.4.2 KitKat.
My question is can I still update the software to lollipop?
I don't want to be left with a lemon/paper weight.
Thanks.
Sent from my Oneplus One using Tapatalk
Hard to say... but only way to find out is backup first (nandroid), then update. Often the IMEI is fixed or returned to original status if you flash the proper region rom it originally came from. So it's possible the wrong region rom was flashed on it (so you have generic or repaired IMEI).
Maybe you should contact the people you got it from and find out what's that all about.

Well... you could check the IMEI Here (Canadian site for coincidence )
Also DL and use Phone INFO Samsung from Play Store - it gives you all the info from your phone so you can compare what it IS with what it originally was. (so you can actually install the right firmware for the phone, not just what the Settings say... )
So I checked the IMEI and the one listed in the settings is fine but when one listed on the back of the phone is blacklisted.
So for sure I got scammed. I attempted to contact my seller and of course they are not replying.
I also downloaded " phone info Samsung" but I'm unsure how to differentiate what it "was"
Sent from my Oneplus One using Tapatalk
Well, you have 2 choices then. Either try to have this one working... or report to the police. But police will most likely take your phone as evidence and you won't have one anymore... but, if you care to have it all legal, better do it. If/when they do catch the scammer, you might get your money back.
Sounds lame, but good luck!
Thanks for the help.... I'll see what I can do.

I've had people do me dirtyy. Even my own family members. But guess what? It didn't go good for them, yet I still help them out lol... Karma is a B and that dude who sold you the phone will get what's coming to him. What sucks is having to go through all this.

Jesús, sounds like someone with good credit just screwed up for the rest of there are! 6K in dept is phewww ??? everyone has dept.. I'm glad I don't have no student loans or crap [emoji2] + I'm smart with money I make less than anyone in my job, yet I'm the one that it shows I make more lol. It's all about how you are with money, if you've went through depression and anxiety. It helps your mind. completely off topic lol

I purchased Lg G6 unlocked t-mobile from ebay India on a half price of original "this is what I was patting my back with pride for" for a while though. Well, today I got a prompt on my phone screen that T-mobile temporary unlock period is expired, please reboot. I could smell the issue by now and as soon as I rebooted another message said "Network Lock". Now my sim does not have network signals. It is as good as a brick because I do not have t-mobile sim nor I think this phone was outright'ly purchased before it landed in my hands.
Looking for options:
1) does flashing custom rom (If available) release the network lock?
2) are there software available that can unlock without t-mobile sim?
3) are there paid unlock services available for foreign network?
4) any other that I am not aware of?
:crying::crying::crying:
For what price you purchased the mobile?

My friend has the same issue. Bought a second hand Tmobile G6 and the sim couldnt get any signal. After a while googling I found that IMEI of the device is blacklisted.
Now I wonder if rooting the device and changing the IMEI would help.
I can help you, text me on whatsapp @ +917022130177

No solution yet. Tried few options but all in vain. Now, what I have found out that, If I downgrade it to Nougat 11g, then I can get it unlocked. Though I am not able to find one post where there was a complete procedure looks like it was deleted by the OP.
are you in same situation as I am?
