Big Mystery,
I have HTC Desire A8181 locked to Asia CASH network and i need it unlock.
But for unlock is needed IMEI number and this Desire has NO IMEI !!!
Under battery is only P/N number, S/N number and FCC nuber. Everything else is in japanese
When i tried *#06# nothing happens.
In Menu>Settings>About Phone>Phone Identity is only Model Number, Device Serial and Phone Number
Can you help me please ???
Have you tried looking on the box it came with ?
No- i'm from Czech Republic and the phone is found.
WoW, strange thing :S. Yep, it should be at least on the box...
Haha,
the phone is found...maybe it's stolen and locked from HTC. I will lock my phone if it will be lost or stolen.
And when you find a phone bring it to the next police station....and don't use it by yourself.
When you do something like that here in Germany, you will get big trouble.

hahaha- NO!
I'm gsm service technician.
Phone is found on airport by my customer.
Locked phones by police make no calls, but has no deleted IMEI !
if you remove the battery you'll see a sticker with the serial number imei, etc
I'd thought that a GSM technician would know that!
You should definitely turn it in, I used a prototype Nokia phone once, and I was contacted by police within a week. Then I found out it was reported stolen, and would have been charged with theft if i did not tell them were I got it from - even though I bought it in good faith, and was unaware of the situation. If I was charged at that time I would have lost my job , which it was definitely not worth at all. Just a heads up.

I didn't told about locking from police....I told about locking from HTC. Do you remeber the story with the new I phone from apple? They killed the software per remote access. Maybe HTC can do something like that, too.

''Under battery is only P/N number, S/N number and FCC nuber. Everything else is in japanese''
...and here is photos
Wiping theory could be true, bu they can't remote wipe imei from under the battery ..
Could be one of those fake Desires? You know what the Japanese are like faking phones these days lol

I don't think we should really be helping with this, if he's "found" a "lost" phone, it's not his, in effect it's stolen.
*#*#4636#*#*
That is a clone, not official HTC.
Model number is wrong, serial is in wrong format, even the sticker under the battery is wrong.
I've never seen one that says Desire like that, and all have MAC, P/N, IMEI, S/N on the silver sticker part.
Also on the front, a strange logo, should say HTC
I would inform your 'customer' who 'found' the phone that it is a cheap clone.
YEAAAAAHHHHH
Best reply from Italy.
Thank you!!!
Problem solved
This looks like a Korean market Desire. Noting the T on the top, it's SK Telecom. I know SK Telecom uses WCDMA2100 for their network, but CDMA for their older phones. Does the Koreans even use an IMEI for the WCDMA2100 phones? Maybe the Koreans disabled IMEI by *#06# in their ROMS
Hi guys.
I did yesterday the swap from yakjuxw to yakju and today i wanna check if imei number etc stayed the same.
Imei number is prectly the same as inside the phone behind the battery,but the serial number is different.
I dont know if this was before te swap to.
Anyone has a clue?
I also have mis-matched serial numbers.
Does anyone have an answer? If not, could someone at least check to see if the serial number listed under Settings is the same as the one printed on a sticker under the battery.
I bought my Gal Nex used, and don't know the history. From build.prop, it shows yakjuux.
That's pretty interesting I looked at my serial number and it also differs from that on the back of my phone.

Question actually applies to T-Mobile as well.
Is there a way for an IMEI number to be check to see if it is currently active in their system?
I was in live chat with a T-Mobile representative for over an hour who said they have no way to see if an IMEI number is active in their system unless they are looking at a specific account. She also said that my IMEI number for my stolen Galaxy Nexus was never even listed in my account (I called and updated it a few days after buying it). After going back and fourth and her constantly contradicting herself over and over, she finally said "oh, my mistake, your IMEI number was in your account.....I was looking at the other number....guess that will be all, thank you for choosing T-Mobile" and disconnected while I was typing.
Anyway, sorry, angry rant.
I was told by the police officer to contact T-Mobile and inform them my phone was stolen and provide the IMEI number. This way, if someone else activates the phone with the IMEI number, I could find out. I would not be allowed to get access to account information, obviously, but I could inform the detective and T-Mobile could be issued a subpena for that account information.
Then, I'm being told by this lady that she cannot see any IMEI numbers unless she's looking at a specific account and it's not possible to search IMEI numbers.
So, yeah, that's my question.
For anyone that works for AT&T or T-Mobile, is it possible to know when an IMEI number is active in your network?
Man that sucks... I hate stupid people.... unfortunately just about everybody we buy phones from is a retard. Hope you find your phone or reach an amount of donations to buy an new one.

The lady was telling you the truth about looking up a IMEI number. I am a RSA with T-Mobile and in the store level as well as Customer Care level we can not just pull a tool up and check to see if a IMEI number is active on the system. We can check and see if a IMEI number is blocked from the network. Which I do all the time when a phone has trouble connecting to the network. This way I know if the phone was blocked or not. Now i am not sure if Tech Support can find this information or not but Care and the Store level can not find this info. Also when a Rep goes into someone account they do not see the whole IMEI number. The last number from the IMEI number is not displayed for us to see. Also since the GN is not a phone sold by T-Mobile the system does not display the name of the phone. We use a system called Quickview which gives us all the Customers info for their account. Under your number it only displays the model number of the phone since that is what is sent to T-Mobile's tower and displayed on the account. When you have a phone that T-Mobile sells the model number is not shown but the name of the phone is shown instead. If there is anything else you want to know just ask i am would be more then happy to help if I can.
Now when it comes to a SIM card yes i can tell you if that is active on the system or not. I can search for someones account with a SIM card.

Thank you so much for the detailed response. I was at work so I could not respond sooner.
I called Technical Support this morning and detailed everything to them. The lady gave me a number to the T-Mobile Legal Department and she advised me to provide the detective with the number. She said due to FCC regulations, she could not discuss with me anything related to IMEI numbers. She seemed to hint that the IMEI number was currently in use, at least that's the way I took it.
I spoke with my friend who works for the police department and he said unless it gets pawned I pretty much won't see it again though. So, basically, the police department is no going to bother checking to see if someone is using it.
Since FCC rules prohibit me from getting any information regarding who is using my phone now, and the police won't do it, I'm pretty much at a dead end.
Can you get your carrier to block the IMEI as reported stolen? At least that way the thief doesn't get to use the phone fully? Maybe call both AT&T and T-Mobile to report it stolen and possibly used on their networks.
I bought my active 2 last week. I check the information and saw that no serial number in device infirmation.
Help me

I saw this few "weeks" ago from SM-R825U User... LTE:

Sorry to tell you, but it seems that u have bought a stolen watch thief factory. Be careful, it can be locked / non - supported to use GW in the future.
Can anyone confirm that they have the le2127 model and was able to get dual sim working even after flashing it to the global ROM ?
I just went through all of the steps and converted my le2127 t-mobile version of the 9 pro, only to find out that there is no dual sim functionality. All of the other older OP phones have it.
I do see the pins in there for 2 sim cards but I can't get it to work.

Also, when I check the IMEI's using *#06# only one imei is shown. At one point during the updates, to android 12 especially, two empty sim slots did show up but, both had the same IMEI #. Upgraded to 13 and now only one IMEI. I do see pins in there for dual sims so this is a very confusing phone out of the 4 Oneplus phones I own.
So I need to get this figured out before my return window closes.
On the box your phone came in, how many IMEI codes are shown?

Ok no worries
You've more than likely thought of the below, however if you haven't
Possible approaches to find both IMEI numbers
Does the tmo variant actually have 2 imei numbers?
Did you backup any of your phone before modifying?
What info did you have to submit to tmo, so that you could unlock the bootloader.
The vendor you bought it from, if official may have a record of your imei numbers
Have you used Sims on both slots of the phone? If so your Telco will have a record of the IMEI against the call.
There maybe a simplified approach, I'm sure someone else may also be able to help
Did you get it with any paperwork?
Was there an imei sticker on the back of the phone?

I guess to sum it up now with those questions. I do remember that when I applied for the unlock.bin I had to provide the IMEI number(s). And I remember there only being one through *#06#. Plus the sticker that was on the back, which I have, states only one IMEI number.
On top of that. Last night I did some more flashing. And I flashed the EU version to see what would happen. Well two IMEI numbers showed up. BUT, thwy were the exact same IMEI number.
So I think it's safe to say, and from reading other articles last night that, either the second slot(if really there), is blocked by the software or the extra set of pins inside are just not connected to the main board.
Unfortunately, I have given up on the idea of trying to get dual sim out of the TMO variant. I had read on the Oneplus forums last night of people complaining about this exact problem. And their conclusions are basically what I just said. They have given any hope of this phone having any chance of dual sim activity.
Apparently when TMO first advertised the phone they advertised it as dual sim. But the next day their ad was changed to say that it was only a single sim phone. And that seems t be the case here.
People have also said that anything made after the 8T, will not have dual sim anymore on Oneplus phones. esim/nano sim is apparently the future
But thanks everybody for all your help. It was fun but ... you have to cut your losses at some point.
And too bad for Oneplus. This is really going to backfire on them.

Update: Duh ... I just looked at the back of the phone for the first time while packing it up, lol !! And there is an IMEI printed on the back cover. Only ONE IMEI ! It was being hidden behind the sticker that was on it. And I never bothered to look.
It's good that you've got to the bottom of it!!
Would you consider looking at the other models NA, Global and Eur checking which bands you need.
If you then find the one that suits, you can always give that a go and have 2 Sims.

No I didn't. I went through reading about it and thought the risks outweighed the chances of it being successful. So I returned the phone unfortunately. But those phones only have one IMEI # and what this method does is use the same IMEI and just adds a zero or two at the end. It's not a long term solution.
