IMEI Change - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

A week ago or so i posted a message I needed information as to weather my Unlocked worked i had used all unlock it appeared to do it's stuff as you'd expect, but phone still did'nt work. Beliving it to be barred from networks i checked the IMEI number on the lable under the battery & checked the IMEI on the phone,via *#06# on the keyboard and they did'nt match, i can only presume that the number has previously been changed, so why will it not work? I would be gratfull if anyone would give me an answer
Thanks pcfix

arent imei's coded to the hardware like a MAC address? not sure if there is much we can do...
when you say imei is danger, are you referring to a sidekick kinda danger? if so, you got me stumped. how did you manage to change the imei?
i talk over imei of phone, it is wrong phone imei original is 351553016438023 but when you try see imei with *#06# phone show 00440000350111200, the two finish numbers is for t-mobile phone but same imei is bad.
the history is: the phone working good 2 weeks with tornado sim for unlock but one day phone show new time sp code entry, tornado sim do not working more for unlock it phone, the own contact to me for unlock it phone and it when i see that imei is bad.

cant you call the provider and ask them? it doesnt sound like something that can be fixed on a forum...i may be totally wrong like usual though.. jockyw2001 might have some insight...i dunno
dang thats weird yea jus go with gixxum and call them that would be my best gues
Messing with IMEI numbers is how phones are cloned and, consequently, is illegal in most countries.
There are plenty of tools available but I suspect the Mods will stomp all over a thread regarding their use.
Also, it's a really bad idea to post your IMEI number on a forum.
Honest.
** EDIT - If you must, then post a friends, sit back and watch the bills keep rolling in ...
I had the same problem with my t-mobile wing; which i am using att sim card; the phone and card both unlocked. the only way i found to get rid of the error message was to re flash my phone with a different rom from xda developers. The phone would dial out upon every time it was restarted and cost me 15 cents every time. now i don't have to worry about turning off my phone and getting nickel and dime to death.
i also have the same problem
It is illegal to change an IMEI for ANY reason. Even if it is done accidentally. I suggest not calling your service provider and just getting a new phone.

IMEI number shows "0"

Hi,
I've looked for a thread on this but couldn't find any help for my situation.
I have the LG E980 from AT&T. I went to update it and I get a "phone not registered yet" error. I've registered it through AT&T and LG both. I checked and my IMEI number is gone, only a zero there now. My phone is stock. I have never tried unlocking it, flashing, or adding any custom ROMs.
How do I get my IMEI number back into my phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can I input IMEI # ?

I have my IMEI only, sent it to ATT for unlocking, and am wondering if this is a way of imputing the number directly.
Background and have tried
Bootloader is unlocked as is phone.
I have tried methods for getting update to see if IMEI is recovered, same with pixel experience method. My issue with them I think is that I recently ported my number to another service, so I have a sim card that will not connect and not get IMEI number from carrier..
Any solutions you know or can point me towards would be great.

So 1 thing that i forgot mentioned is that the IMEI of my device is tampered. Once i have updated it to latest the Certificate of previous Tampered IMEI is removed and now the firmware is not accepting this IMEI. *#0011# service menu shows IMEI Status: NG (not good). Currently there is no solution available for this problem.

Not gonna find any help on here. Imei tampering is illegal in most countries and signs you either didn't pay the device off. Or stole it. So yea no help here
Tampering imei always indicates stolen or unpaid in full devices, you should feel embarrased about this, please get your devices as decent people do, BUY IT LEGALLY
yep without a valid IMEI the phone can't work, meaning as said above the phone is likely dodgy as that is the only reason to change the IMEI to try to bypass network bans and such. also as stated it is illegal in most places so finding help wont come easily and definitely won't come on legitimate sites.

if not blacklisted or tempered it's either a wrong baseband bynary or maybe a currupted EFS
