I am calling on my phone & the guy using it starts the phone only once a day & does not recieve any calls
I am pretty sure that here in my state no body will b able to program it to another no.. so whenever he will start the phone he will get my no.. only
Besides i have locked it using S2U2 so he will not b able to make any calls also..
So can anybody plz guide me to any software that could help me to track my phone

Sorry to hear about your loss.
Unfortunately, as fas as I know, the tracking apps that you are talking about (Crimson Lock is one of them) needs to be installed in the device prior to this happening. S2U2 is no protection unless the guy cannot slide his finger through the screen. Simply report it to the authorities and call your provider to report the device as lost (and if you have the ESN, give it to them, so that they can block it (black-list it).
Sorry that I cannot give you better solutions to this, but without the tracking software pre-installed... there isn't much you can do
All tracking software has to be installed before you lose the phone.
If the phone is on, the police and your provider probably COULD trace it to find the person. But they are unlikely to spend that much time and effort over a stolen phone.
As the guy above me said, call your provider and get your phone blacklisted. They'll cut off access to your account so he can't rack up a big phone bill.
thanks guys!!

Glad to hear that you got it back.
CrimsonLock seems like a pretty good software. It isn't free, but it looks pretty complete, feature-wise.
Hello everyone,
Well, here I am again... Seems like the last question is too long or maybe too hard so, no one reply or give me some idea...
This one is easier... After over a month that my Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 can't use as a phone... I decided to call Samsung Service today and the Samsung engineer there told me that... because the phone that I have is the outside country phone so, when the operator knows that I use the phone that is not paid tax to import they cut off my signal that's why I can't use this S4 phone as a PHONE!!!
The Samsung engineer advise me that I need to change the board which will cost me about 6500 bahts and because my phone is not in warranty I have to pay another 1000 bahts for service, which means I have to pay about 243 US. Dollars for them...well let's say 245 US.Dollars...in case the currency change tomorrow...
The status of the phone is all unlock... Since the very first day that I bought the phone it can make call and connect 3G, can connect WiFi...can do anything this S4 phone supposed to do for me until the efs corrupted and imei and serial numbers changed... after I fix all the problem the phone works fine except can't make any call... said not registered on network...
So, my friends... please, advise... Do I really need to change the board(for 245 US.Dollars) to make the phone becomes a PHONE again or...there is another solution for this...(Maybe I should buy new phone...that's not Samsung...)
Is it true that...when your operator knows that you use the phone that's not for your country they will block your signal...?(I use prepaid phone...) I asked my operator they said it's the phone's problem...well the Samsung guy said it's the phone's problem also and the only way to fix it is to change the board...(Seriously???... :crying
I've ever use the phone that I bought from outside country before... It works fine... maybe because it never had imei problem...
Please, I need your opinion... tomorrow I'll go see the Samsung guy... :fingers-crossed:
Best regards,
Angel S.

Sounds like a bogus story to me, bought my I9505 in Germany yesterday and use it without problems in the Netherlands. Connected to the T-Mobile network (data and speech). Maybe your phone (Imei) is listed as stolen and blocked from the networks.
Imei is clean...

So, turn it in for repair or request a new device. Should be covered by warranty, so no issue if you`re legit. Don`t go asking here how to change the Imei number or i`am going to report you to a moderator.
Do you understand English...?

I think I make myself clear enough... I posted in here 3 threads. All questions about how to fix my phone's problem. In those threads I told everyone that my phone has no warranty with Samsung... That's why I need some advise from people here...
This thread... is about... DO I REALLY NEED TO CHANGE THE BOARD? FOR FIXING MY PHONE'S PROBLEM...(CAN'T MAKE ANY CALL...) NOT HOW TO CHANGE IMEI...!!!!!
Can't you see?... DO YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH???...
I need your opinion... if you think there's no way I can fix the phone back to normal to make it can call in or out...then I will go to Samsung and said I give up... Just change the board no matter what it cost...
So what do you want from me huh???... Just read the thread carefully before point your finger at me... I REALLY HATE THAT!!!

If you haven`t backed up your EFS folder and so cannot restore it then yes a new board is the only way to get it to work again. Here is a link about EFS http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...2dkJLSsPmgeBTBMgifxyhGA&bvm=bv.49641647,d.ZWU. There are many more links on Google.
Thank you...

Ok...thanks for the link... and sorry for my temper... you have no idea how much stress I have, it's been over a month now that all I can do is searching through internet read thousands of threads and comments and here I am...only few steps to the goal...but I can't reach it...
So, please let me explain a little bit more of my situation...
The phone works... I can connect to internet. Use social app like whatsapp, line, facebook, twitter and many more... but can't make any call... the imei is also fine... when I dial *#06# it shows up my original imei... the serial number is fine...when I check the phone's status it shows the original S/N, The baseband is also shows in phone's status too... the signal bar is full most of the time...
So, the only thing is not fine is... I can't make any call...(even the signal is full...) that's all... when I dial number and make call it said "Not registered on network" I have the efs backup now. The good one...so, thank you for the link...actually I've ever tried that before but I guess it doesn't hurt to do it again...
Tomorrow I'll meet Samsung technician... to see what he can do...
Best regards,

Hello,
to all of you.
I want to know some things about Mobile Phone, I hope You understand this question and I'll get replies.actually, my friend has found a new Grand 2 Mobile phone still packed in box on road, I know it seems weird but "its true", and He tried to search the owner of the Phone but he got no clue, that is just a Grand 2 packed nothing else, no bill, no address, nothing, and he is little nervous that's why he doesn't want to inform about this to some P.Station (you know India Polise), so he decided to start using this device, but before that he wants to clear some things, he doesnt want to be in a some kind of mess, so please reply,
1.If we don't put sim card in Mobile, and keep the device off removing the battery, then Are Mobile Operator or Mobile Manufacture able to trace the Mobile or not?
2.Is it possible to change the IMEI number of the Mobile, If yes then Can you tell me How? or tell me the link on web?
3.Because Nothing is set up on phone till now, as I told this is packed, if we put sim card in Mobile is there any possibility by which the mobile can be traced?
4. If he only use this device as a media player, then what are the chances of something went wrong?
P.S : He found this device ten days ago, and he tried to search the person who bought this from the nearby sellers(actually he found it on very busy road), but found nothing.
Thank You.

There is a method to change the IMEI.
However, it is illegal in North America and many other countries.
I'm sorry I can't give you a link as this is illegal in the States, but keep looking around.
It's probably legal in India (a big country with the world's second biggest population ... who can trace you anyway?)
If you operate the device without a SIM card (airplane mode) or any form of Internet communication, no one is able to trace you, unless it is the CIA.
Hello Guys,
Just need some help from you.
Unfortunately I got my Moto g4 plus stolen yesterday. I want to Lock/block the device in order to prevent the misuse.
Is there any way to do so other than using the Android Device Manager ? as Android Device Manager requires Location and data to be turned on in the device, in order to lock it. And I don't think I had those turned ON on my device.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks
Any Suggestions ? Will be happy to hear back from anyone of you..
Thanks
There are few basic steps you can follow if your phone is lost/stolen
block the sim so unwanted calls/messages are not made from your phones
file a complaint in cyber crime so they can track the phone easily ( make sure you have all the bills, imei number & other necessary details )
i hope this basic steps helps you
my motog4+ phone has lost with imei no:354115073105775 please help to trace them

You should be filing a report at the police station in your locality, not ask us for help to trace your phone on XDA.
If you would like to find out where it could be, roughly, you can try using Android Device Manager (search for it, you'll find links you need quicker).
Android device manager would only be useful if the location service and data was turned on in the device, that's what I got to know from Moto Customer Service
