Hi All,
I have bought "Huawei E5180s-22 4G LTE" from China, then only realized that it cannot be used in Malaysia with an unlimited SIM Card.
Upon contacting the seller, he told me that I need to unlock the modem and then change the IMEI.
May I know how to unlock this modem and change to what IMEI?
I am skill enough to execute AT command correctly.
Thanks

Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. For this reason, XDA doesn't allow and accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.

Hello I want to buy for France a galaxy note 10 plus n975u blacklisted in the USA and locked sim verizon. I know it can work despite the blacklist in France, but for the simlock verizon this is annoying! Can I still unlock sim carrier it if it is blacklisted? If yes where? Thank you
So this is a topic that we don't provide support for. Although in many circumstances it may be a case of a buyer being taken advantage of, and while we sympathize, modifying an imei is not considered to be a practice we condone. It can lead to a lot of issues on our end if we allow these type of discussions to take place.
As per rule 9:

Hi,
Unfortunately we can't help you with that here as it is illegal to change your IMEI in the US. (I'm refering to the forum Rules)

And in most countries of the world, again we cannot help you here, the rules of this website forbids requesting this stuff because it is illegal in most country. Even if you were in a country that allows IMEI changing, the rules of the forum stay the same.
Hello. I live in Turkey. In Turkey, there is no official sale of Oneplus. Therefore, we need to buy them from people (who illegally import the phone). The government don't let us use this phone unlimited, therefore, IMEI number need to be changed.
I have LE2123 model which has changed IMEI number. Now I need the original IMEI numbers to register the device on Oneplus Care. Is there any way to get back to original IMEI numbers?
Thanks for your concern..

I got a T-Mobile on pre paid and somehow they put me on post pay and charged me a ton more . They won't unlock it and I need my phone. Im not paying for their mistakes and I grabbed a straight talk service that was going to b ported phone and all. I got service and no unlock. Anyway to unlock the tmobile revvl+5? Not in the useless unlock app that won't work ?

While I appreciate your dilemma, XDA is not the place to ask for carrier circumvention as per XDA Rule #9:

Altering the IMEI of your phone is against the law in most countries and is not something that can be discussed on XDA. Instead of trying to alter the IMEI, next time you buy a phone, make sure it's sim unlocked and doesn't have a blacklisted IMEI.
