Did I lose my original IMEI while unlocking?

I unlocked using forever unlock v3 for galaxy nexus, which was supposed to keep my original IMEI, AND unlock forever.
But now I went to install momo a Chinese app, and it said I couldn't because I am not using my original IMEI below is what they said.
So is there anything I cna do here to restore original IMEI, or fool it somehow?
Thanks,
dadroidda.
您的账号状态正常没有被封禁，您无法登陆陌陌的原因可能是：
1、您现在使用的设备是不符合国家法律法规的山寨设备或者翻新设备
2、您通过刷机有意或无意修改了系统IMEI码
3、其他问题导致该设备没有合法的IMEI串号
详细情况可以联系您所使用设备的制造厂商，查询并尝试修改回原厂IMEI码。
•修改回出厂时合法唯一的IMEI码后便可正常使用陌陌。
•目前陌陌无法在没有合法唯一IMEI码的设备上登陆。

2nd part.
Beamed from my Grouper.

Settings > About Phone > Status
Compare your IMEI there to what it says on the phone box to determine if your IMEI has indeed changed.
Edit: IMEI might also be under the battery IIRC.

I checked under my battery, and in fact yes my IMEI was changed...
So my IMEI was changed, to permanent unlock I used **** Docomo V3.1.
Is it at all possible to change my IMEI back??
I'm willing to return to a temporary unlock instead of permanent unlock if that is possible.

Temp sim unlock should cut it.

OK, how do I go about doing this? link?

Something to do with some grand theory stuff, not exactly sure of the thread name, but somewhere along that line.

Seriously! the guy is just asking for help mate!
dadroidda: There are few people, including me, having the same fault after updates in the last couple of months.
There is still NO method to fix it by flashing or software that I am aware of.
However, if you know a good mobile repair guy who'd have one of those "special" boxes, they can re-write your original imei from the box to the phone. Obviously, this would cost you money and it is illegal in some countries.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Question Baseband Version UNKNOWN

Tried everything. Searched through the webs for past couple of days. Everything failed.
Majority of articles are from times of Ancient Rome. None work and are outdated.
Reflashed stock with nand erase and pit file. Checked and failed.
Tried root related solutions? Checked and failed.
Searched modem file. Failed.
Downgrade to prev version? No longer plausible. Due to BIT.
I flashed and reflashed with odin numerious of times. Nothing. Useless. Absolutely useless.

did u solve it?

Did you guys find anything? I think I'm gonna go check at a repair shop for someone with the z3x box and hope for the best.

Nope, he said no matter what rom he flashed it was always unknown IMEI.
However I found something interesting, turns out my IMEI and baseband numbers are intact when I check them from recovery. Maybe downgrading this phone should fix that, although I'm not sure if it is possible.

no, its not possible because of the bit.... can you try using an old modem to see if it solves the problem?

try flashing one from may or august.. don't try november or newer

You need to download an older firmware (older than november, never try that ****ty november update!) of your country's a32 and use just the cp file

I'll get an older firmware from sammobile and get back to you if anything different happens. Just as a note, someone here on XDA said they were able to downgrade when using a Magisk altered ROM.
Edit: I found something similar on another samsung phone here on XDA: thread here.

Could you flash it with a magisk modified rom?

@Mighty_Rearranger maybe you could try flashing an android 12 gsi? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sing-odin-without-twrp-phh-lineageos.4114435/ I don't have the phone with me right now so I can't test it

OK I tried doing that and now phone is bootlooping with secure check fail md1img error, that's the anti-downgrade thing complaining. No luck down the downgrade hallway.
I think the only option is to wait for a possible solution from the Magisk people or check if a future update somehow fixes the problem.

how do you check them from recovery? I was able to see them once after a botched flashing, entering download mode, there was a "show barcode" option or something like that.
I have read in an older thread in this forum, some guy solved it by downgrading, but to a version which is impossible to downgrade to for us, because our phones already came with the AUJ4 firm, and acannot go back.

what's the idea? there aren't any custom roms, are there?

i did the result did not change , if i flash custom rom can i fix network eg pixel experience rom ?

How long was it working on Eu rom before it gave you a problem? Maybe you temporarily sim unlocked the phone for 30 days and that ran out?
OnePlus says you must go through tmobile to get it unlocked. Tmobile does need it on their network for a day or so to be able to unlock it. (They tried to do mine manually but there was no data for my phone and there is an exchange that takes place on their server so it has to be online).

Looks like the efs may be somewhat corrupt. Hope you backed up modemst1/modemst2 partitions like the conversion thread suggested you do. You'll want to flash these both back on and then problems should be resolved. You cannot use someone else's partitions, has to be yours.
MSM'ing will not help this situation. Need to unlock permanently using t-mobile's unlock in original ROM after you've restored those partitions. It blows an efuse when it does this, no custom rom can be used as a workaround.

I also had the same problem on OP9. It happened after playing with modemst partition.

unfortunately i tried that too. this problem happened because i deleted modemst1 and modemst2 file in eu rom. I guess the tmo unlock application cannot read the phone's information so the unlock is refusing to bind.
