No IMEI number - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to unlock my desire but can't get the IMEI number. I've looked under the battery but there is only an s/n number listed and that doesn't work. I've went into phone info on the device and it only lists the s/n but with 3 digits missing. I've done the *#06# and my phone comes back with "can't connect or invalid number" (ps. I'm currently roaming in Canada and the phone is from Korea on the SK Telecom network.) Any other way of finding this number?

Use the dialler and type *#*#4636#*#*
It will be on the first line in the telephone info section.

Have a look in this thread:

Perhaps there is something similar to this.

*#06#
into the dialer and it will come on the screen

I guess it's another of those Korean locked Desire... one guy had the same issue.
Just use :
*#*#4636#*#*
and it will work if the following one doesn't :
*#06#

No, it wont work with the #06# I checked in the "About Phone" before I tried to do anything, and that is where i panicked. I have no IMEI number.. Well, I didn't. Now I have a standard one, but it's not mine. Now look.. I have the files
efsbackup.tar.gz
efsdev-mmcblk0p1.img.gz
which MUST be my backup siyah made when I flashed the kernel.. or whatever.
But how do I use them? I mean.. I don't know how to use them.

Nothing at all.. My phone is bought in Denmark (EU) and we use EMEI here. I had a perfect EMEI until this morning... now it's gone, which I don't understand. But I got this standard one now.. Which doesn't let me go on any carrier network, but also, it is not identical to the one under my battery.. and I want that one back. I have the two files mentioned above.. but I got NO clue what to do with them.

Why the sim unlock code t-mobie sent me is not working, please suggest?

I bought a t-mobile dash with WM5 from ebay, I sent the request for sim unlock to t-mobile, and I also received the sim unlock code soon. but the unlock code is not working in my dash, when input the code two times, the below message appeared :
you have tired 2 times please wait for retry.
but I know if I try much many times, the phone will be permanently locked, so I did not try again. I also send email to t-mobile, but no feedback so far.
appreciate anyone suggest me. thanks
have nice day to all
make sure when you provide the IMEI is correctly spell, and also whether your phone IMEI (*#06#) and the back of your phone IMEI is the same, and that number is the number that you give to them. I got mine unlock with t-mobile too, my phone IMEI is two number extra more than the one i found from the back but they will figure it out and send me the correct unlocked code.
If the IMEI you provided is correct, then the previous owner nuked the configuration data or entered too many times a wrong code. I would be able to verify and correct that. Drop me a PM and I will make you a reasonable offer.

thanks for your idea
same as your situation, my phone IMEI is also two number extra more than the one on the phone back, but I send the t-mobile the phone IEMI(*#06#), not shorter one, if the unlock code is correct, i do not know why it is not working. what should i do next?

The code you will get from them will be the same as the one u got from T-Mobile and also the same as I would find for you: there is only one unlock code. However, your problem is that either the simlock data area is corrupted or the prev owner tried to enter unlockcodes too many times. Ah well, tried to explain that already ...

IMEI problem

Ok, so here is the story:
I had CM 10 installed. After changing mobile operators I found out that my phone was locked. So i searched how to unlock. One of the ways I tried is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176721
Than I have tried installing this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock&hl=en
I have also been putting original Samsung stock (through Odin) and I always get the same error when I try to dial: Not registered on network.
When I have installed the "galaxy Sim Unlock app" I saw that the app said that my phone is now unlocked but it has invalid IMEI. So I went to check my IMEI and found I had a problem - the IMEI has changed to : 004999010640000/01
When trying to unlock the phone using the above XDA link and inputted the code :*#197328640#
I didn't have UMTS option on the main manu. I had the "DEBUG SCREE" and after clicking that I had PHONE CONTROL and after clicking that I had NETWORK LOCK and NETWORK CONTROL but I didn't have the "Perso SHA256 OFF" option.
I also can't find the the "Qualcomm USB" when I input *#7284# like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AlQmfMJBK0
I have my original IMEI written on the box but I don't know how to restore it. The phone is GT-N7100.
Anyone got any idea how to fix my phone ? Thank you

I couldn't wait anymore so I had it restored in the official Samsung repair store. I tried flashing the official firmware several times but no good came from that. Anyway, I hope that other people can have better luck than me and thank you for your help

Baseband and model show up as unknown. not able to add APN.
If you dial *#06# do you get something started in 35... (don´t put the whole number here)?

That means that you lost your IMEI while flashing.
Do you have a backup of the EFS folder?
If not I think you have to flash stock Samsung rom with Odin, but it will be better if you ask in the rom thread.

What is the model ID (MID)?
Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number, as these are personal info).

This is suspicious. The MID noted in your getvar photo doesn't match, as it says 06PB10000.
Also, its s-off, which means someone may have modded the phone to change the MID and CID.
Was the phone claimed to be new and/or stock from the seller?
On the other hand, the phone appears to have the proper firmware for the 06PB10000 (international) version, which should support LTE band 7, according to specs posted online.
Are you sure you entered your carrier's APN info properly?
Does the phone get 3G data?

check boot loop serial

Guys as the name suggests , wanna know the best method to check the actual serial number of the nexus 5x. Please someone tell me the best method to check the serial number. Thanks
Settings -> about phone -> status
Do you mean you want to check it and the phone is stuck in a boot loop ? If so, then you need to go to bootloader mode to view it.
This first post in the thread explains how to get into bootloader mode by holding the correct key combinations at boot.

Well thought of doing that but then if one can edit the serial number from inside of the phone , then it's not a problem for one to change the sticker I think.
Just realised the serial number is not inside the case. It's only the IMEI.
I didn't realise you could edit both serial number and IMEI via software. I'd like to learn more. Any links to relevant info ?

The only method I know of is a sticker on the retail box. The serial number in the Settings is different and doesn't indicate build date.

You're supposed to keep your IMEI number private. You don't want to be freely giving it away to random websites and I would suggest deleting your link.
