You can't swap another phones imei onto another phone, imei are hardcoded into phones so what you asking about can't be done.

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

AFAIK it's is forbidden on XDA to talk about changing or writing IMEI. This is because XDA is an american site and changing imei is illegal in USA.
The only way to change IMEI that I'm aware of is by using Z3X box with their software. You have to pay for it, but it does work. Z3X team is a trusted repair shop supplier. There were ways of doing it for free with Samsung QPST software but I'm not sure it works on the S5.
yes but is chance to remove write new imei in phone ? my phone is in black list uk i write ( change imei ) and i find result lots of video who can write new ime clone from another s5 and then s5 working ok .. i just asking .. make clone is legal ?

I have no idea, supposedly that's the method Z3X team are using too. If it's only for repair purposes and it hasn't been proven to be a stolen phone I guess it is legal.

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.
