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.
phone is not in black list or other ilegal case. if have error in imei.

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.
Hi everyone, not long ago I posted this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/help/bootloop-enters-recovery-stock-enters-t3336838 where I had some issues with the EMMC chip. Today I bought a second hand logic board, my note 2 model is GT N7100 International Version, and so is the logic board that I bought, I replaced the logic board and the phone booted, everything is working fine, wifi, camera, sound, etc. The only thing it is not working is the sim card. I tested 3 different sim card carriers, it recognizes 2 of them. But I'm not able to make any phone calls or send SMSs. When I pull down the notification panel it says the name of the carrier on the bottom, with the other carrier it says "Insert SIM Card".
The phone is running jellybean 4.1.2. rooted with stock recovery. No efs backup.
It could be some problem with the logic board replacement? I mean everything is working fine but the sim card.
The previous owners just told me that he had an generic IMEI, and he could make calls without any problem(he was selling the logic board because the screen broke up). Do I need to look for a guide to replace efs folder or something?
thanks to all in advanced!
Generic imei? Sounds like the seller changed the original imei to something that would work with the seller's carrier and not your carrier.
I can think of no valid reason to change a phone's original imei unless the original imei had been blacklisted. You could try restoring the logic board's original imei.
yes, that's the same thing I think of, phone is blacklisted and seller sold it on parts. You can try to change imei to some old phone, that you own.
Try to update to stock kitkat

Yes, what he is telling me is that he bought the phone in Colombia, so in order to the phone work here in Venezuela he had change the imei for a generic one. That's what he told me. I did not know any of this things until I did a research on Google and I read several methods to solve this problem. But the thing, correct me if I'm wrong, generics imei start with 0049.... And the imei that is on the phone does not Stat with 0049. It shows other number and in the end shows /01, I've never seen that before.
The phone is rooted, I was triying to update it but when I plugged into the computer it is not recognize by it. I use Windows 10, and when I plugged in the phone it sounds both the phone and the computer, but there is no sign of the phone in the computer. I wanted to flash a custom recovery so I can make a backup of the efs folder just in case.
So, I can replace my old imei, (the one that is on the bad logicboard) on this new-second handed logic board?
I think that the original imei won't work here since the phone is from Colombia.
I would like to know if there could be a solution. Because I've done some research on Google, and I've seen soooo many tutorials and every single one is different. And since I don't know exactly what is wrong with the phone I'm afraid to do something wrong and mess up the logicboard.
I think the problem is due to the altered imei. The imei is suppose to match the phone and manufacturer.
Im really sorry for your trouble and you may post on xda for help and assistance but changing IMEI number is illegal and can't be discussed on xda I'm afraid. The fact the seller told you he changed the IMEI number to a generic one sounds like it could have been stolen, if you have the original efs folder you may be able to restore that

good afternoon friends, I come to you for some doubts that I have about the update of my team .... I have a moto z play with android 6.0.1 I want to update for compatibility issues in applications, but I have activated the good dual sim so I bought it second-hand, can I update directly to 7.1.1? and from there go up to 8 by means of adb sideload? and what is the procedure since I read that you need to omit the lines of the modem and the sfg to not have problems with the imei ..... someone could help me please? and excuse me but occupy the translator to create the theme.
Can we see a screenshot of your Settings>about phone screen please, showing your device and build number? This should help us figure what device you have and what builds to flash.
Provided you flash the correct firmware for your device, your IMEI should be okay.

Thanks, if you're updating, usually it's a good idea to full flash, including modem and fsg. Else you'll have issues with OTA updates.
Normally flashing stock firmware shouldn't cause problems with your IMEI, but without knowing the history of your device, it's difficult to say. If you want to, could you provide your device's get var info?
A) assuming you have ADB and the Motorola drivers set up on your computer, boot your device into the bootloader. Connect your device to your computer via USB.
B) open an ADB terminal and in the terminal type 'fastboot devices' without quotes. Press enter, that should return your device's serial.
C) if you get a response, type 'fastboot getvar all' without quotes in the ADB terminal. Press enter to display a output of your device's parameters.
D) copy paste that output here or upload it somewhere. You may wish to omit your IMEI from the output. That output should tell us if the device was previously unlocked or flashed with a newer firmware.

ok I understand, I explain the equipment I acquired it from use and has a blockage for non-payment in ATTMX that is why they activated the second sim, I do not have backup of the efs and the recovery does not let me, my idea is to go up to 7.1.1 and then go to Oreo by means of adb and already being there to activate the dual sim again and be able to continue using it ... so I ask you if I can skip those commands to avoid taking risks with the imei

Again, if you're updating with the correct firmware and the device had not been flashed with custom ROMs or had downgraded firmware in the past, I do not think you will lose your IMEI. I would recommend you use those commands.
However, if your device was blocked for non payment, are you sure you can even use dual Sims? I'm concerned the previous owner's network provider may have black listed IMEI 1, so even if you update to Oreo, you may only have one active SIM. I'm also hoping that device is from non payment and not stolen...

I suppose they stopped paying, and if right now the dual SIM is activated in the first line which is the original IMEI does not signal, but in the second that is the IMEI 0 if I can use my line but the same way only works for ATTMX, that's why I want to think that updating to 7.1.1 and later to oreo can activate the dual sim back and that it works again like now .....

Even if the device says it's dual SIM, the IMEI for one of the SIM slots is likely blocked not by ATTMX but for other providers too (hence the blacklist). I doubt if you update whether you will get dual SIM usage, as your IMEI stays the same usually, so even if you're updated to Oreo, you may still have only one SIM active. The network may just keep rejecting that IMEI number.
I'd honestly think about returning it unless you're happy with just single SIM access.

does not look, I mean the original equipment is a sim which is blocked for lack of payment, they activated the second sim and obviously that is 0 which if I line with ATTMX and good until now I have no problem it works for me and apart I bought it cheap, the only thing I want is to update to be up to date and so already updated to activate the second sim

Yup, so if I've understood you correctly
SIM 1) Blacklisted IMEI due to non-payment by the original owner . Likely will not work even if you update.
SIM 2) I don't think this IMEI 2 gets blacklisted automatically, IMEI 1 is usually the one that is blocked, unless the original owner or ATTMX asked for IMEI 2 to be blocked too.
However, I still think if you update to Oreo, you will not be able to activate the dual SIMs. IMEI 1 will still remain blocked. From what I understand, only the original owner/ATTMX can reverse the block, and as it's due to non-payment, you'd likely have to ask the original owner to clear their debt with ATTMX to clear the block. The block exists on the carrier level, so unless you can change the IMEI (which is something indiscussable on XDA), you are stuck with one SIM, despite having a dual SIM model.

if the original IMEI 1 is the one that is blacklisted by the operator, the IMEI 2, which is the one that was activated and is 0, is the one that gives me line, so I wanted to suppose that if I update and when I am in Oreo I could activate it again with the tutorial that goes on the web and thus continue to occupy the IMEI 2 with the line I have ..... now I hope to explain myself .. I doubt very much that the owner pays since we are not in contact.

So you'd likely have only IMEI 2/SIM 2 active, especially if the original owner has not cleared the balance. I do not know of tutorials that could help you restore IMEI 1 (and they are likely not permitted on XDA). I wish you luck in this endeavour to get your dual SIM device working fully.
Hi, I lost my Pixel 2 xl last week from my pocket. and bought a used one from a local shop here in Pakistan . Later when I tried to unlock bootloader , I found out it was a verizon model and I can't unlock it no matter what.
I just wanted to know that if I get the IMEI changed of this device, Will I be able to get the bootloader unlocked?? as the imei is the part which recognizes it as a verizon model
As far as I understand, verizon encrypts their bootloader and imei has nothing to do with that... Please correct me if I'm wrong.
AFAIK there is no hope of having a Verizon variant Pixel 2 XL with an unlocked bootloader.
I do know that several people have purchased "unlocked" devices only to find out the "unlocked" referred to their ability to be used on any carrier network; NOT to have the bootloader unlocked.

No, they are not related. You can google it if you'd like. Unlocking or relocking the bootloader will have no effect on the IMEI number. However, changing the IMEI number is considered illegal in several countries. So check your local regulations before you attempt to do so.

Hello
I bought a used s9 a few months back. It had dual sim. In "about phone" it said G960F and was on android 9. A few days ago, I wanted to flash android 10 so I downloaded firmware for G960F, booted my phone in download mode and SURPRISE. The whole thing was in Korean and of course it was a G960N model. So I downloaded firmware for G960N this time and flashed it. Everything went perfect but when the phone booted up, It had no sim service.
I've tried everything I've found on the forums so far related to emergency calls only or no sim service.
Any kind of help would be appreciated. I have no sim service for 5 days now.
Things I've tried so far:
Flashing my phone again with android 9 stock firmware, which I can't do anymore as I've updated the bootloader lol.
Flashing custom roms
Changing csc from SKC to KOO
Flashing OXM CSC as I live in Pakistan
Flashing different modems and basebands
Nothing worked
Try flashing back a G960F android 10 firmware.

Done all of that. No luck
OK, let's go back to beginning: you've bought the used phone. 960F never was (as factory leaving) dual sim phone.
so, let's start from the beginning:
contact the seller and ask what the hell have you bought (if it was any variant of the S9 at all.. somehow I doubt it).
2nd: write down the IMEI and serial number, and check with Samsung if this configuration ever existed (if not, what I suppose, the IMEI/sn info about the REAL model can give you a hint what have you bought).
Having the above info in hands, find the "service firmware", 5 files ROM for your device and try to flash it.
If it will not work still, I'm afraid you have two options:
1. check IMEI against stolen devices with your carrier.
2. Go to Samsung service asking for help.
(if it was any variant of the S9 at all.. somehow I doubt it).

Well mostly it isn't a fake mediatek phone as it will not even have a download mode.
Probably he bought a shi**ily refurbished phone with it's internals mixed from multiple versions of the s9, in the best case.(a Frankenstein variant of the S9)

I'm going to solve this mystery for both of you. The phone he bought is indeed an S9. Here in Pakistan, 'software' guys in shops can convert these to dual sim models with some z3x and Chimera f*kery.
As for why his phone isn't working - it is because the phone had a tampered IMEI to bypass local custom charges levied on all imported phones (insane charges, doubles the price of these kinda phones). Once he flashed a new image on his phone, his IMEI status would have become NG instead of OK, which prevents the phone from accessing any networks.
Solution is to visit the same 'software' guys, ask them to 'patch' the phone. It is a 5 minute process, requires root (which these phones already have).
