microsoft my phone should do it

Sorry to hear that man, as I feel you as I too had my HD2 stolen just last month. If you are in USA there is nothing you can do as no GSM carrier supports IMEI blocking, they can but they don't. In theory they can view the phone when its online as when when makes new connect with stolen phone with diff simcard it will be registred. But simply they don't care for it unless Big Brother steps in you know or used in emergency to locate someone.
Normally there are GPS service which can make the device send the owner its coordinates also giving remote capabilities like if nearby SMSing it will provide audiable alert or by backing the data and syncing online and locking it. For it to work one must have it installed before this takes place.
When I had my HD2 stolen I just finished flashing new rom and GF called so we went to the bar and didn't have time to install my software packages. I checked Craigslist/eBay couldn't find it. I was very ticked of as I paid 750 for HD2 + 200 or so on addon accessories. The most important thing was the data on the device contacts till this day I don't have they are gone unless they contact me as I only recovered parietal though recent audit call logs.
I know the feeling my whole world ended lol I became totally handicapped without my device, it makes you think hard how depended we become. I use it for everything and showed it off as I had very good reason as I extremely modified it beyond extreme with my own tweaks and things. I even left the prick SMS saying I would pay more than its worth if kid returns it, but he is not dumb he knew WTF would happen to him if he shows up.

Possible Unlock For SGH-T999L?

After scouring the net for the last week or so to find a method of unlocking the SGH-T999L without either purchasing a box or an unlock code from a shady eBay dealer, I stumbled across an app that seems like I might do the job.
RegionLockAway by Chainfire seems to remove the network lock on this specific model, despite being designed for the Galaxy Note 3.
(original thread) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
Now, I've tried this on my phone, and as I said before, it seems to have removed the network lock on my SGH-T999L, but only partially. I am no longer bothered for an unlock code when booting the phone with an AT&T or MetroPCS SIM card inserted, and my account details assigned to the SIM cards are displayed under my phone's settings. The issue is that I cannot seem to connect to any networks.
I don't know if this will lead to anything, but I just felt like sharing this little tidbit of information with you guys. If anyone else would like to try this out and post results, I'm sure it would be greatly appreciated by the community. Hopefully this gets us one step closer to unlocking this bastard of a phone with minimal effort.
P.S. If this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it, and I apologize.

Rooted sgh-t999L with stock 4.3... I just tried this in hopes of a network unlock as a side effect and it did not work. I ran it twice to make sure.

My new *safe* note 7 has a bad IMEI

EDIT: See post #5. Samsung has multiple IMEI checkers for different countries, my google search led me to the wrong one.
Original Post starts here:
So I have a brand new, Verizon note 7, box has the black square, green battery icon.
After the reports this weekend, I thought "eh, I'll check". Using Samsung's IMEI check, it returns a message
Hold your horses.
It's either that the IMEI you entered is incorrect or device you are using might not be safe to use. If the latter is true and the device you have was obtained thru our Voluntary Replacement Program, power down your device and contact our Customer Service hotline at +63(2)422-2111 so we can sort things out as soon as possible.
If you have not yet availed of our Voluntary Replacement Program, we advise you to IMMEDIATELY POWER DOWN your Note7 device and get in touch with the entity from which you have obtained it so you could be assisted in getting a replacement unit or a different unit.

Yea, that's not good. I guess I'm exchanging it later today for an S7 Edge now.
(Curiously, when I called Samsung just now they said it wasn't on the list of recalled phones, and that mine was safe to use... so left hand not knowing what the right is doing?)

I would trust the green battery icon and black square over the imei checker.

Just goes to show how screwed Samsung has things when it comes to instilling trust with their customers when it matters most.

The imei checker actually allows for an option that you DO have an exchanged Note yet it is still a bad one? What if this is a new feature that indicates there will be another, limited recall?

update, turns out I may have used the wrong IMEI checker. the one I used was the first hit in google for my search:
http://www.samsung.com/ph/note7imeichecker/ and I read "/ph" as "phone".
The checker at http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/ one says that my phone is safe.
So...strange. If I were in the Philippines this phone is bad, in the US it's safe?

Maybe you got that error then because it's checking for a IMEI code that's linked with the Philippines but you're putting in a code that is for USA models and therefore is coming back as an incorrect IMEI hence the error message "It's either that the IMEI you entered is incorrect...". So most likely just that and not a screw up with the checker lol.

Question [CLOSED] IMEI changing

My phone's IMEI is changed without root and I'm on Android 11 rn. In my country you have to pay a heavy tax to use imported phones so I replaced my phone's IMEI with another phone IMEI which is already registered with government.Now I can use phone with sim normally.But what if I update to android 12 then will my IMEI be reset to original IMEI of my phone because if that happens I won't be able to use sim without paying tax that's actually more then the price of phone.
I got OnePlus 9 pro and I'm in Pakistan and IMEI is changed with a s7 edge whose tax was already paid.

If the phone is showing that message and was purchased off of eBay, then the phone was stolen from a business. The phone cannot be utilized as it will be flagged and will have its IMEI blacklisted after some time. That message you are seeing confirms that.
Unfortunately for you, there is no work around to resolve this - as theft isn't a 'real' phone problem. The protection with phone management is just a corporate move to give companies more control over the devices that they purchase. So essentially, there is a much lower chance of them being stolen. Because once they are stolen, they're basically just local music players that cannot be utilized as a cellphone and will automatically wipe themselves clean on a timely basis (once they are reported as being stolen).

Thanks vor your reply,
i don´t think the phones was stolen because the selers of this phones is a company in Germany and they have more than 50 pieces of this phones, They wrote on the listing that the phones was used only for demostration purposes , so google will not remove the mdm lock if i contact them on the geving email adress?

If the device is truly legally sold, you need to get into contact with the seller to see if they can release it from their MDM server. If they cannot, only they can be the ones to contact Google. Google will NOT help you if you do not have the original purchase order from when it was MDM enrolled. Even if the user has a ton of devices for sale, that doesn't mean they were acquired legitimately. It's possible they were supposed to be destroyed and kept enrolled to prevent them from being resold, which is what sounds most likely to me. As someone who works in IT asset management, the ONLY reason we leave our devices DEP or MDM enrolled is to prevent someone from snagging it before we dispose of it.
