Question [CLOSED] IMEI changing - OnePlus 9 Pro

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.

HTC IMEI Unlock Codes

Hi Kids!
I found in many sites such as eBay.com and others, a pack of codes to unlock HTC phones without a PC.
I Live in Chile but I buy a lot of HTC phones in USA to sell it here on my free time
Will be great if I can unlock all my phones without connect each phone to a PC.
Where this guys get or generate these codes? Where can I find it?

oh, i have the same question
UK residents should be aware that it is a criminal offence to change the IMEI number of a phone and if you are found doing it for other people you can get upto five years.
I love it when instead of answering peoples questions with an actual answer, someone feels the need to tell you how bad/illegal/wrong, it is to do what your doing. But then when you go back and look at older threads, or even on other forums, you see that same person asking the same question you asked, a year or two earlier. But once they know the answering, they tell everyone else not to do it, not to ask, and they can go to jail, blah blah blah. Unreal. Its sad when certain forums are 30% legitimate questions, and 60% "troll answers", and 10% real answers. It sucks when you have to go through reading 3 days worth of bull**** to get the answer to a question that is fairly basic, and in the old days would have been answered, and if there was no known answer, everyone would have worked TOGETHER to find one. Those days are obviously long gone, as everyone is more interested in "getting mine", and making, or think theyre going to make, that whopping $10 charge to give you that answer or do that service for you. Even though its "illegal". Ya its illegal, until you pay them, then legality all of a sudden is no longer an issue. Funny how that works right?
I would think XDA would be the place where "Devs" come up with solutions without judging! This is the whole idea of places like this. Where we do things we want to do with our devices. It can be getting rid of malware, junkware. Developing awesome skins, ROMs, apps. We circumvent operator practices to stifle our beautiful hardwares so why not develop easier ways to stop the government from blocking our freedom to use/buy devices and use them freely on any network!

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.

Unlocked Nokia Lumia 900 from AT&T

Hi everyone,
I got my Lumia 900 from AT&T unlocked today, so I thought I share some pics with you because there are a lot of threads/people suggesting that its IMPOSSIBLE to unlock "period"
I got the code from gsmunlocklabs dot com - I took the admin's permission to let you guys know but he told me to stress the fact that it takes 20 days to get the code if not more so you don't set your expectations too high. I have submitted my IMEI early July and got my code just today!
here you go

As always use at your own risk.

The Death, you're neither message nor messenger.
I d0n't think it's a good idea to unlock a brand new cellphone... not even if it's a nokia!
20 days would basically take us to Oct 8 so it would be a waste of money now.

don't trust smart a$$ members too. you know, those who pretend to know it all?
I think we would save alot of heartache if we used the proper words when describing this topic. I was reminded of this a few moments ago when reading a wpcentral bit on the pricing of the 920. Besides the 2yr contracts, comments were made about unlocked prices.
This sounds very similar to the conversations here earlier about 900 pricing.
The 920, like the 900, will sell with a No Contract price, not an unlocked price.
We know the problem is with interpretation. No Contract foes not equal Unlocked.
So, there is no unlocked Nokia 900 from AT&T. There could be a Nokia 900 unlocked by AT&T. We know there will NO Unlocked Nokia 920's from AT&T. You will be able to purchase one No Contract. Remember the difference.
Well since people can't leave the thread alone. Locked

IS there anyway to downgrade boot loader note 10 plus n975f

Is there any way to downgrade bootloader note 10 plus n975f, I have installed one UI 2.1 latest august security patch with N975FXXU6CTGD bootloader, Problem is My mobile is demo unit and someone installed patch with IMEI match in it and it was working fine until I did a mistake of upgrading. now its apparently not possible to downgrade or get back mobile networks back. Is there any solution to my problem. IMEI showing fine and when I check status by #*1234# and its showing status NG. I want to get come back the call option to make calls please help me if there any solutions. I have tried chimera and it says unsupported modem try to install different firmware.

All the stuff you mention sounds really shady, as all demo units are not to be used as regular ones, in other words, the demo units are issued to carriers and official distributors, and never intended to be sold to public, thence, having one is not normal, no help will be offered here, as it is illegal in most countries to tamper IMEI numbers, which is a common practice with stolen and red flagged devices, next time gather enough money to buy a legal device
@ farhan_ali790 - Some things you have been saying within regards to this phone are quite unsettling. Either your mistaking what phone you really have, a communication/detail issue, or you got the phone second hand and this is the way it was when you got it.
Either way the following will be of interest:
If you have a demo phone then it should not work on the cellular network. Those are for demonstration purposes so people can see what the phone looks like, see how the screen looks and get a chance to use the apps on it. For this reason the phone was made in such a way that the ability to connect to the cellular network will not work. If you truly and really do have a demo phone then it will not be able to access the cell network.
If your claim is you have a demo phone and that it is showing (or had the IMEI number changed/patched to show) as a N975F and your talking about a patched IMEI number then sorry, but your most likely out of luck here. The discussions of tampering or altering an IMEI number are not allowed due to such actions being illegal in a lot of places. Contact the person whom patched the IMEI for you for help on this one.
It has been mentioned numerous times that flashing a bootloader higher then what is currently on the phone is a one way street. You can not downgrade the bootloader. Please take the time to do some research on the subject if you have further questions on it.

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.
