Guys, READ the POST: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276851.
Really, read it carefully, no matter what you do to your IMEI it may be illegal in your country, and may carry serious jail time as a penalty, the 'i'm repairing my imei, not changing it' argument makes no difference in some countries.
it dont matters if you change your imei...nobody goes to jail! it doesnt matters anyone! the only thing you loose is your warranty.
The Problems are the Providers...
some providers didnt check the imei at lock up in the cellular-net.
with these you can use the phone like you want. in germany only D2 Vodafone and T-Mobile check the imei. if you use e-plus or other nothing will be happen.
otherwise you cant lock in the cellular-net, so you have no reception.
Deleting Imei is a great way to use sim-locked devices! but only if you have e-plus as provider
This is nonsense, changing the IMEI is NOT illegal or amon_ra and all the others who make custom recovery img or custom versions of os's that were not released officially for the resp. devices (Cyanogen e.g.) would do time! It COULD void your waranty ... brick the phone ... kill your dog ... cause the third world war , but it CAN'T be illegal!
I have researched this and here in the United States it is NOT illegal to change the IMEI number.
So with that being said if anyone knows of a way to do it on a Galaxy TAB please let me know because right now T-Mobile is filtering certain services based on the IMEI number which is really lame. Just like your ISP can't tell you which brand and model of computer to use with their service I don't think T-Mobile should be dictating what services people can use and how much they charge for them based solely on the device they are using. They should be honoring all GSM devices that are compatible with their network the same.
People on AT&T have been doing this for years because if they see you have an iPhone IMEI they automatically tac on a more expensive data plan just because you have THAT particular phone.
Seconded. While I use a Nook Color, the devs haven't fixed a randomly generating IMEI. I'm looking for a program that you can run before IMEI-sensitive applications to set the IMEI to a specific value to avoid incompatibility issues.
It's much easier to say who can do
Do not know why when it comes to this forum imei some users say it is illegal would be easier to assume that they do not know how to accumulate again and add the answers forum with useless, cretinous and trash

yes it's true, but unfortunately it is only for devices with android system
if for WinMo maybe can try JAFWM
changing IMEI/ESN is 100% LEGAL !!!
unless you change the IMEI of the stolen phones, you might end up in jail
MOD EDIT: No it's not. Thread closed. IMEI changing is illegal.
how to change IMEI for X8??
hi there,
i got a kaiser (mda vario 3 ) from t-mobile in 2007 december...
i been waiting for the new wm6.1 to come out,
i tried entering my serial number from my phone to the htc support website and it doesnt seem to recognise it,...
i spoke to t-mobile, they say it should recognise , other than that they cant help me?
does any one else have this problem or, i wud be great full if sum lend me thier serial or put up a official htc rom link to wm6.1
thanks
Since its a phone branded t-mobile, the SN is not recognised as an original HTC phone...
But it also seems a lot of people are having problem with their SN on the newly created HTC download interface, so it could also be HTC website's fault. (see other "New HTC ROM related threads" in this forum)
i updated with the first 6.1 HTC ship rom . That works very well. Havent tried this newer update yet. look at the first sticky in the rom section and try downloading it from here instead
Hi guys. Just upgraded from an original Touch to a Diamond. Before I start setting it up, I went to HTC's site to get the latest updates.
I love cusotmizing my device with themes, pic etc, but I am not into flashing cooked roms (yet).
HTC has 2 rom upgrades on their site. One from like July last year and one from Jan of this year.
When I enter my S/N it says my device does not support this rom???
I have a Diamond P3700
The current rom is Rom Base 1.93.422.4 Dated July 18th 2008
Radio 1.09.25.23
Am, I missing something? Was the January 09 update not for some Diamonds?
I know when you flash its like a hard reset, so I want to have the latest official rom on my device before I start putting in all my info.
Anyone have this issue???
thanks!
Mike,
if you got your device from a mobile operator or have a "branded" phone (T-Mobile, Vodafone, Verizon, Orange, whatever), you'll probably have no access to updates from the HTC website. Operators make some changes to the ROM (themes, settings, applications) so they reserve the right to select which updates they make available to their customers. (Booooo.)
In that case, the only thing you can do is ask your operator (visit their website) if there are any updates available.
You'll have unrestricted access to HTC's updates only if you have a "free" device.
N.
FYI : Bell is currently working on a ROM version with HTC guys. It should be out somewhere during this year. (I hope so, because the ROM Bell gives is really retarded)
I have a unbranded unlocked phone and have the same problem. Support replied that the 2.03 ROM is not yet available for Eastern Europe phones (my case by the looks of it). No info on release date for us though.
There is a new Touch Diamond ROM posting in HTC website here:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=483&news_id=68
You may input your serial number to see whether this new ROM suitable for your device or not.
Same here
I've tried to download the new ROM but get a out of service message. Someone must have this ROM and can give access to it?
Thanks
upgrading ROM
my experience with upgarding via HTC website.
i have a HTC Artemis + HTC Touch Diamond, both came with English WM OS.
Bought both in mainland China though they both imported, Artemis via Taiwan, and Touch Diamond via HK.
when i tried to obtain latest ROM via HTC HK website last week of Feb 2009, basically i could only download the RUU 2.03 CHT_CHS ROM. i was not allowed to download the English language version of the ROM. Here's HTC explanation.
The two phones were shipped via the original HTC agents in both countries with HTC CHT (Traditional Chinese) ROM's. Even though i bought both phones in mainland China with English ROM's. (Obviously the store or a supplier on the mainland had flashed the English HK ROM's).
Basically HTC's view is that flashing the ROM's with any other ROM outside what it shipped with OEM voids the warranty (if one is not careful, one can also brick the phone too!) LOL
Interestingly this means that my new phones were void of warranty initially anyway the day i bought them, since i bought them from the dealer with English version ROM (official HK English ROM), though both phones were meant to be CHT ROM's. If i sent either phone back to their respective HTC service depts. artemis to Taiwan or Touch Diamond to HK, i would have been out of luck claiming warranty!
(anyway i got my hands on the official HK/Taiwan English ROM's and flashed my phones myself... HTC have been a fat lot of use over any technical support issues i have contacted them about in the past).
Note that not all ROM's are the same, service providers and manufacturers can decide what is and what isn't included in their respective ROM, which consequently locks the phone to that ROM and any future updates. Even though one may think they are buying an unlocked phone, with no restrictions etc. how certain can you be of how it was shipped ex-factory, or the route that the phone took before arriving in store?
OP, it sounds to me as though you have a phone that had been altered somehow before you bought it, and is not supported for the upgrade ROM you want. The same situation that applies in my case.
One way to check is try downloading all the different ROM's there are on all the different HTC region/country websites using your serial number... sooner or later you will find the right ROM even you may not want it, but at least you will know the status of how your phone was setup ex factory... because if the ROM was changed somewhere between ex-factory and the store without HTC's okay then your phone is void of warranty (unless you flash it back to OEM).
sinned69 is right, you can't just go to any HTC site and download a ROM, your serial number matches a certain region and you must go to that HTC region site, from there you will be able to download the ROM. Where (which country) did you buy the phone, or do you know where it came from? If you know this information, then just go to that HTC region site.

By the end of January, I called HTC hotline. They said they'll upload East EU version next week. It's March and I can't download anything. How do you think, isn't it time to remind HTC has to release a East EU rom?
No luck-
I tried downloading the newest HTC update from Feb 09-- still says your device is not supported.
I downloaded the file using a provided serial in another thread for the WWE version.
Can I use this file to flash my rom????
My diamond is an UNBRANDED and UNLOCKED version.
It's a 1.93.422.4 WWE currently...
Any idea if this will work ok for me?????
HTC Diamond in South Africa
Although I am a member of the HTC europe club, I do not have access to the 2.03 Jan release ROM at this stage.
The reason for this is that the SA agents have still not had the ROM approved by our Network Operators, so the HTC Club site continues to post the old Rom.
Once the approval is given, HTC will post the new ROM for us to upgrade.
HTC uses the serial numbers to control who gets what ROM upgrades.
Our phones are HTC branded and not network locked. It is illegal for networks to lock phones in SA.
use ur
sn
and modify it as follows
for uk use HT846xxxxxxx
for french use
HT850xxxxxxx
or HT851xxxxx
in above cases xxxxxx represents ur rest of SN
try it and post rest of codes for other countries
but i have not installed it on my phone yet as i have to retore my Original SPL
then have to use USPL for flashing i guess
I'm sorry but you have completely lost me!!
What is the point of this? Explain? What is SN?
its serial number found at back of HD under battery
SN is your HTC Touch HD serial number. It's located under the battery on a label with all the information about the phone (IMEI,S/N,P/N, made in, etc.).
This SN is used in this form:
HTML:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
The serial number is under your IMEI number and it's look something like this:
S / N:HTxxxxxxxxxx
(before and after this line there are barcodes)
where x is some number or alphabet. So if your SN is let say:
HT620KD27521
You have to change it to:
HT846KD27521
so HTC servers think that your phone is from UK. That's all of it.
As far as I know last # to the left represents manufacturing year, and next 2 digits represent the week number
Are you sure to change the first digits?
pw120 found out this schema...
HT849KD07500 UK
HT849KD07000 Europe
HT849KD01000 Dutch
HT849KD04000 French
HT848KD02000 Swedish
HT846KD04000 Norwegian
HT846KD05000 Finnish
HT846KD05500 Italian
i was not not sure because i tried my sn with different combinations and got Rom files for different languages

Any way I have the same problem, I have from Orange too, but my SN is HT844KDXXXXX

official update is always worthy
you have to restore ur original spl then use USPL
for flashing new rom
but if ur sn allows u to download rom then you have to only retore ur spl and run rom update

If Dutty's Rom is not giving you any problem at all, stick with it. You may download and keep the latest ROM for future upgrading when you hit problem in Dutty's Rom as you install more programs.

Exactly, why would anyone Supply their s/n, whats it needed for. Internet is a sharing world, but its also a corrupt world.
It's for downloading the officially released roms from the HTC site when they come out. If I remember, HTC's site requires you to enter your s/n just to see the entire list of downloads for a given phone. The reason for asking for each country is that the phones are released in each of these markets with a different set of serials, which (for language, legal, and carrier reasons) prevents customers from downloading a ROM that's not intended for their phone.
The reason for asking/posting on here and having a full list is that people can:
a) keep an eye out for new roms without relying on the owners from that particular country to check regularly
b) make it easy for owners of a phone with a different country's serial to get the new rom, which can then be flashed on if they have HardSPL. Some people do this because they want to have the latest features while still using official roms (not sure what they have against cooked roms, but each to their own.)

I agree. We've never had a problem before of HTC roms not been published on xda developers. I can't see a need for this.

I don't really want to get myself involved in a discussion on this, especially since I was just answering a question, not advocating...but...Really? Never seen problems?
I know that leaked roms have become very common lately, and I agree, there's no reason that the roms can't or shouldn't be placed somewhere else so that they are more readily and reliably available...but I know that I can find several threads that are filled with people asking/looking for serial numbers to use on HTC's site to download some official rom or another. If I recall, the Diamond had a lot of times where official roms were really slow to become available on here (to the order of days or possibly weeks).
I agree that public posting of serials is not the best solution even if the leaked roms somehow stopped appearing. But I don't see a good reason that a few of the more skilled and dedicated shouldn't have a collection of serials so they can easily check the site regularly.

I never saw the Diamond Problems (I'm not arguing that there could have been some) nor have I seen a massive number of SN requests. But that's just my personal experience - I can't be everywhere
Leaked ROMs never appear on HTC.com so that's a different kettle of fish.

Never had the problem with the blackstone either.
OP,
Maybe it's a good idea not to post the complete personal Data of a persons Serial number.
Put in a Few XX's.
And also i would not ever recommend anyone to, and can understand if someone doesn't, just give up his serial number.
Let it be a lesson from the past that it is any members Call to Re upload a downloaded official Rom and post it to the Wiki.
It's a nice effort, but having peoples Serial numbers is a touchy subject that we need to talk about as the moderation team.
Closing the thread for now.
