Hello,
Here's some concrete work from the IMEI update project.
Please use the attached file and report your findings here.
Instructions:
1. Extract the ZIP
2. Run the file iWizard
3. Make sure ActiveSync is running and your phone is connected via USB
4. Make sure Windows Mobile has finished booting
5. Click "Next" in iWizard, let it work (shouldn't take more than 10 seconds)
Let us know:
1. If iWizard worked:
a. The model of your phone
b. The IMEI # and checksum codes if you like (you can PM for your security)
2. If iWizard failed:
a. How it failed
b. Any error messages, or screenshots of failure
c. The model of your phone
The goals of this alpha release are as follows:
1. To determine which HTC phone models work with our method
2. To determine the algorithm of the IMEI checksum codes so we can update
Thanks for your interest!
Don't get too excited - this alpha release does NOT change your IMEI yet. That is coming soon, as soon as we know which phone models the above method works on and is reliable with!
Note: The iWizard works great on my i-mate k-jam.
I tried this a minute ago.
My qtek 9100 is connected to my pc, can synchronise with active synch but I received the error message I attached.
I have spv m500, its synchronized with my pc, but I recive the same error as canstb said...
sorry for my first quick reply.
I was thinking that my qtek9100 was cid unlocked apparently it was not. I used the tool lokiwiz v2b to unlock it and ran your program again.
and here is the result.
Thanks, please keep the results coming in! We'll figure what the checksum alg. is and then fix your phones :lol:
Guys, I think you should PM Sinan rather then publically posting your IMEIs.
As we all know, cloning and changing IMEIs may be illegal in your jurisdiction; additionally, publically posting your IMEI is liable to end up with it being cloned by thieves not from this board etc. Not wise, so be careful, and please stay legal.

thanks for your warning.
sinan, I am deleting my attachment to my previous message. if you need the info again, just ask for it.
can anyone tell how to download lokiwiz, and how can i find out if my Magician iz CID locked or not?
and is there any tool for unlocking SPV m500 (magician)?
thnx
Yes, can you please PM it? Also, did the tool accurately detect your real IMEI?
Everyone, please PM your IMEI and checksums for security...or if you're not comfortable with that, please just say if the tool correctly detected your IMEI on your phone model, and report the phone model.
aWizard/Lokiwiz can be used to CID unlock phones, available here on this forum as well...pretty easy to find and use them, they're free tools as well.
You may need to downgrade your ROM first...
i used lokiwiz to unlock my device, now some other message appears, here is the pic... and the program doesent stop, it tries to find imei, but it seems like it will never stop...
Is this on Vista? Please see if it works on a regular XP box...if not, thanks for letting us know, be sure to try with the next alpha.
no its not vista, its just a theme for xp.
so you think there might be a solution for my device to?
Was the unlock successful with the CID unlock tool?
I think you may need to downgrade your ROM and CID unlock your tool first.
According to what I've read in another discussions, this tool would work only on devices that store IMEI on DOC chips
These are - nearly all smartphones produced by HTC, and communicators like HTC Wizard and Prophet. The tool would never work on HTC Himalaya, BlueAngel, Universal, etc.
You can easily determine would the tool work on your device or not. Just take the ROM update tool, extract it with WinRAR. If it has the file "radio_.nbf" - the tool would not work at all.
The tool should not be called "HTC IMEI Restore Wizard" as it does not support all HTC devices. It should be renamed to something like "HTC IMEI-on-DOC Editor tool".

it is easy to determ which models work, just buy all the HTC devices and try yourself and you will know. I am doing same thing, since i don't want risc affect any of the users phones.

Rascal you sound like a baby. We should try to help each other, not put each other down. And remember business is business! You couldnt have thought that you would be the only person that could provide a imei repare tool forever!!
Maybe now you will drop the price of your dongle or even better, make the program work without the dongle!!
Hopefully the release of mimar's tool will drive you to produce better things.
AFAIK the Wizard has a radio rom file, doesn't it? I've used the tool on my Wizard just fine.
Raskal, tale the suggestions of our good friends here - update your obsolete sales mechanism, get rid of the pkey dongle, that will probably be the only way for you to remain competitive.
Great work MimarSinan
thanks for share and not change a my device imei ..
my device : HTC Magician
device name: MDA Compact
Your device is CID unlocked, right?

The spv M500 is a Windows Mobile 2003SE device. As far as I am aware this tool is for Windows Mobile 5 devices.
Hi
Im not a newbie but I think this is a bit too advanced for me without some help. I have just bought some software and it says to do this:
"If you are an advanced user and know how to access the extended ROM of your device then this section will inform you how to install remotePROTECT automatically following a hard reset.
Copy the setupE file from \Program Files\remotePROTECT into the extended ROM, place the appropriate remotePROTECT.CAB (Pocket PC2003, Windows Mobile 5.0 or Smart Phone 5.0) file in the same directory (this is on the
PC where the install took place C:\Program Files\sCPsOFT\remotePROTECT v1.5\<SP5 or WM5 or PPC2003> RemotePROTECT.XXX.CAB )
The setupE file contains your current SIM information (IMSI number) so after the reinstall will automatically look for that SIM in your device, if your device has been stolen , the SIM changed and then hard reset then you are still protected and the device will automatically LOCK and send a SMS to the predefined number.
The setupE is encrypted and therefore is safe to keep on your PC for future use."
Can anyone help me to do this please.
Thanks
Hi there. Thanks to everybody for answers.
I just have got some DVP from USA (not new). Its in good cond. Unfortunatelly unusable It cannot see sd card. System info says 15MB free. Service menu (##634#) says SD card 8GB inserted but unusable.
But the main problem is, that ZUNE (and win7 as well) dont see the phone - win7 dont recognize it and its marked as UNKNOWN device with pid USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC . I tried find proper driver on inet, tried search in zune directory, tried update zune... nothing helps.
Firmware is 2250.1500.7004.105
carrier:TMO-US
revision: 112.576.2.0 OS
OS: 7.0.7004.0
So i think its basic firmware. My first idea was, that i havent original DELL data cable (using ericsson). BUT when i connect phone in recovery mode, its recognized properly by windows mobile recovery SW. (but that sw says this device cannot be recovered blabla So i think cable is good (all data cables i guess are the same) I tried update firmware via wifi - it says no update available.
Is there ANY OTHER WAY to UPDATE FW ? (without zune)?
Is there any way how to find right drivers for it?
SD card problem can be solved by new sdcard, maybe. But i need some FW uodate, in this satus is phone unusable - restarts, it dont keep my settings after restart, and many other troubles.
Thank you for your hints !!
Regards Gisbern
just call in for a replacement they will send you a device with 212. They wont make you send your current device until after you receive the replacement at which point you just put it in the box they sent your replacement in, seal it back up, put the label they gave, and call fedex for a pickup. Takes about 3 days for the replacement to arrive although the last replacement I received I got in 2 days.
No warranty
Hi, thank you for reply. It was the answer i didnt want to hear )) For my phone service tag is no warranty in dell pages. Of course i can pay for repair, but the question is, how much ? Anybody know +/- price for such type of repair?
Secondly im from EU, so shipping to usa will be little bit higher (but not killing).
Thats way im asking for some alternative method of flashing FW. (without zune)
Regards Pete
I know this thread is ancient. But I post a solution anyway, for other people who have this problem and find this with google.
The solution is easier than you might think: in device manager right-click the device and choose "update driver". Let windows search for drivers and it will install the proper drivers. Done!

Hello all,
as title today flashed my phone to get new 7.8 dynamic rom
flash goes well
but after hard reset the phone shows invalid sim card
and imei shows 000000000 (code *#06#)
any idea?
i found a guide here to use QPST but is for samsung SIII
and the 8700 have different engineering menu code...
Please save me ((
***SOLVED***
the solution is app diagnosis
enter in diagnosis dialling the code ##634##
then *#7284#
and select
Modem, Usb Diag
restart the phone and follow the guide here
thanks to Hero for the guide
This may be little bit nooby but discussing on flashing imei's is not a bit illegal-ish? It's not like jailbreaking or any kind of alteration don't you think?
i think so,
in fact i posted a link and not the entire guide
... in any case, it's not so easy to change the imei on your phone and make it functionally.
you need an imei code there is not in use in your country by another phone
and an imei phone a phone like yours according with product type.
there is a function called:
"auto provisioning"
you see you receive, with some carriers, automatic mms and internet configuration at first access?
gsm cell identify and decrpt your imei and give this info to carrier.
hope this can helps
