Can I input IMEI # ? - Moto G5 Questions & Answers

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.

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.

[Q] IMEI Problem

I don't know whether here is place for it or not but i couldn't find any solution anywhere else. I bought my W nearly 1.5 years ago. Since one month earlier, everything has been fine. But then I received a message saying ''Your IMEI number is clonned, please contact with your firm.'' I went there and they said the very only solution is to bind IMEI to one phone number. This is very important for me because I use my phone for connecting net on my PC via USB Tethering and for this everytime I have to switch SIM Card. Now, I have two questions about this;
1) Is there any other legal option to do but bind the IMEI to just one stable phone?
2) If not or it's the only legal choice, what can I do to use another SIM on my phone?

Are you using Stock ROM/Firmware? Have you tried to Factory Reset your device?(Backup your files if you are planning to do so) If Factory Reset won't work, try re-Installing Stock Firmware.
I'm using LiquidSmooth v2.9, every other thing is stock. I tried changing ROM but i didn't work ( tried stock also)

Changing ROM either stock or custom won't change your IMEI. Some says you can change it using a program but I'm not sure though. In some country, changing it is illegal and punishable by law.

Yea, in my country it is illegal. But I don't want to change my IMEI, I just am asking whether there is a way to use another SIM Card when my phone's IMEI is stuck with only one stable phone number. But it seems now there is no way.

I'm a bit confused mate cause in my country we can always use different kinds of SIM Card, of course with our own country's communication networks (globe, smart, talk n text, touch mobile, sun, etc.) as long as our phone is not locked to a specific network but it can be unlock too both prepaid and post paid.

Sim Unlock

Hi guys,
I'm trying to sim unlock my phone to use with a different sim card in Europe. Currently I have the AT&T version of the phone. I am S-Off and I have used SuperCID. Unfortunately, I tried on multiple sites to buy a code to unlock my phone (related to my IMEI number). However, every site keeps telling me that they cannot find a code for my device. I checked and my IMEI does not appear to be blacklisted. What can I do now?
Thanks,

help to update moto z play!!!!

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.

Help LMG710emw dualsim access wrong model

I have a lg g7 dual sim model Lm-g710emw, when i update to pie by lgup it brick bootloop at bootloader
I repair it but when the phone on it is show lm-g710awm and lost serial number and lost 1 imei
I dont know that, can anyone help me, sorry my bad english
Did you ever find a solution? I have the same problem
For anyone else searching for the same problem, losing second dual sim function and imei when flashing different firmware....I think I have found a solution! It seems to work so far and is really simple.
use the svc menu.
type in keypad:
*#546368#*710#
Choose svc menu
Then mid info
Then go to the field FTMModelName
And enter: DS
Two letters, nothing else. That's it (i'm guessing it stands for dual sim)
Restart phone for good measure. The dual sim function then remained when I reflashed other roms. And my lost imei magically reappeared.
Simples!
I hope this helps someone
