and one question more : is changing IMEI depended on the brand of the pda or it is depended on OS version for PDAs or ... ?
Thanks all for helps ...
it is dependent on the phone the model and the way of storing the IMEI, I dont think there is much info on IMEI changing on this site (and indeed the entire internet) because of the legality of it.
IMEI "repair" is a better way to put it... but its still probably illegal in your country. Use the search function on this site to see the methods used on HTC PDA's and also look around the net for something specific to your PDA. Chances are no other tools for other pda's will work.

Unlocking means that your phone can use any sim card from any gsm company.
It hasn't nothing to do with imei.

u can unlock the device so you can use any other network simcard in your device, however, it is very illegal to change any IMEI of a handset . the only reason really that anyone would want to do this is if a handsert is stolen and someone tries to change the imei before the block signal is sent to that device.
joey jojo ,
It's not only the reason !!!
There are many people having problems with registering their IMEI in Service provider maybe for sudden draft law, so they can't use their device in network if they buy it from another country !
in which case the draft laws mean that it's ilegal
:S
I have not asked if it is illegal or legal , i just wanted to know if it is possible or no , so you can answer to the first question if you know , otherwise please ....

Whatever the legality (and it's not legal), you will not find the information here so please stop asking
Doesn't this forum have Moderators ? so if my thread is illegal , they can delete it and ... , otherwise why you are wasting time and forum bandwidth with not related answers to the question ?
i think it's better to stop it here !

Probably no one will tell you here because, as I understand it, changing the IMEI is illegal.
If the phone works, why change it. If the IMEI is blocked then the phone is probably stolen... Just return it and buy your own.

I known it's illegal, but I find out when I update my radio to 1.41.00.10 from 1.27, my IMEI number have be modified, I don't known why, so, I will modify the numbers to old numbers, because I have a lot of software are registered by old IMEI number.

Most software registration codes are tied to the "Name" under Settings... Owner Information... Identification... or possibly the "Device ID" under Settings.. System... About... -- not to the IMEI.
I'd check these first before you cause yourself too much heartburn...

I'm betting this guy flashed one of the weird WM6 builds that changed the device id's on a few phones. We saw a lot of problems with TomTom, SlingPlayer, and some other apps because of this.
If the user above flashes back to WM5, or to the absolute latest WM6 builds, it will go back to the 'old' hardware id.
But yeah; I've never seen any software tied to the IMEI. Sometimes I wish it was (I'd be happy if it would tie to the IMSI, personally)...
Mod Action: Thread moved. Read vijay555's post on this plz.

I search for information about a IMEI formuls. How the tel. companies get the unlock cod from IMEI. Don't tell me it's a obscure formula, I know that.
Just need to know how they calculate the code some example.
I looked at google but I didn't find anything. Any idea where can I search for more info?
Let me explain first, I have an app (Dev by the corp I work) that syncs with the imei number and here lies the problem, this device Galaxy tab 3 does not have imei, cause it's wifi only, now, I searched the interwebs about it and found a way to change the imei number of devices that already have IMEI, but that won't work for me :/
That's why I came to ask the pro's
Thanks in advance, sorry english is not my mother tongue.
I'm not sure applicable to your current Android version but you can check http://ketutkumajaya.wordpress.com/...roid-x86-4-0-rc2-menggunakan-android-kitchen/ Google will help you to translate it to English.
I can generate IMEI with 1-8 prefix and verify in official website

THREAD CLOSED!
XDA does not allow any kind of IMEI editing incl. discussions or tutorial about it. Even if this thread is not a tutorial it seems that the request will be used for a type of IMEI editing.
The only exceptions to this policy are discussions and tutorials about restoring original IMEI/EFS that's not considered editing/changing and spoofing/masking of IMEI on software level.
But as a general rule: NEVER ever give your IMEI to anybody - never ever!
