Why would you want to - it's one of the only verifiable pieces of information a buyer can trust. I suspect noone will help you with this.
Yes... you are right,... in case of selling the item, but i bought it as a present and i want to offer it as new... but it's not
we are on a forum so... any question is ok
i know of no way to do this. It is not erased when updating a rom, so it is stored somewhere else within the hardware of the phone. I suspect that it is hardwired somewhere along with the IMEI, and so you cannot delete it.
Best not to tell people something is new when it's not, huh?
and no, not any question is ok. Ask about warez, changing IMEI numbers and generally how to screw people over tends to get a chilly response in most places!
Is the only way to do this with the cdma developer program
I just bought a HTC pro but its in a negative file
I have a HTC 6800 that i broke the screen on with all clean numbes like the esn can i somehow swap them with out paying another 200 dollar to buy the full program
Negative list? My guess is what your trying to say is that the phone is blacklisted because it has been stolen or lost and that the legetimate owner called the phone company to put the ESN on a blacklist. This is highly illegal and immoral as you are trying to steal the property of someone else... Even if you paid good money for it.
In that case I don't think anyone here on XDA will be helping you. It's not because we are unlocking phones here and by this way we violate the terms of the limited warranty of mobile phone opperators that we all steal and pirate stuff. We merely enhance the functionnality of our phones. If you found the phone or stole it you should bring it back to it's belonging carrier in a store.
Anyway if this is not the case you should know that even if both the phones are your legal property(Then I apologize for the little morality speech... Please ignore it.), this is still an illegal procedure you are undertaking. I really doubt you will find active help in this thread, moreover this has been discussed many times in other threads. Have you search?
Good luck anyway in getting a working phone!
Its not stolen the guy that had it before still owes money on the bill so the phone cant be used
bell knows I have the phone
I have done a lot of searching and I have found a lot out
Just wondering if there was a way around the program for $200 that will help me fix the phone
Ide like to get it working .......... worst part is that i know it can be done Just need a bit of direction
O well.............

I hope I'm not going to get into trouble for linking off site, this isn't the place for this topic as psyko_chewbacca said. I think you might be interested in this thread though http://www.mobile-files.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87425&page=20 the solution(post 192?) is for a touch diamond, might work on your phone. A forum search on that site might turn up even more. That site is more appropriate for topics such as this though.

Thanks!
That thread has lots of good info abut as far as i can see i still need CDMA workshop
im still looking for it
Forgive me if this has been asked before but how important is it to have the correct IMEI?
I've been flashing my phone since i got it a year ago but in the last week i've been using a miui rom for the first time. I love the rom but as many others have said my imei is now wrong. The thing is i have no problems with data, calls or messages or anything else.
Do i need to restore it or carry on and don't worry about it?
cheers
Warranty! If something happens to your phone and you want it to be fixed, your IMEI is checked, if it's not correct I'm pretty sure they will not repair it. Also most people claim to have issues using android market and making calls, but obviously this is not your problem.
Thanks for that. I won't worry about mine for the moment as everything is working fine.
Under the battery, you see your correct IMEI, so you can check if it is the same if you write *#06# in your dialer.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If you lose your phone, the IMEI number can be used to block it
So flashing with a custom rom will change the imei? That's great!
I will be getting a SGS2 soon, and the phone is associated to my identity which i think it is absolutely unacceptable (I can understand others wanting this in case their phone gets stolen, but at least I think it should be optional)
Please dont come with legalities... the illegals are the governments and corporations building this unfair system and using technology against the population to control them and keep their position on top.
Should we build a .onion site like Silk Road for IMEI spoofing development and IMEI number exchange?
Thanks

IMEI changes only when the rom flashing process went wrong .. when your IMEI is wrong your device will keep crashing every 2 seconds and you wont be able to use the phone at all. . ( I've had this already O_O )
Hello this is my first post, I need advice regarding IMEI fix for my unlocked Ls991,
I've received it as a gift for Christmas and I really like this device, it's not blacklisted or stolen, but the problem is that I live in Syria where the regime and carrier networks will block the phone from connecting to network unless I play an unreasonably high fee just to allow my net phone to work on Syrian network which is very unfair.
I've paid the fee for my old phone and I'm not wiiling to pay it again every time I get a new phone, I wish If I could just change IMEI of my new phone and put my old phone's IMEI instead so they can't find out that I got a new device.
As an Android enthusiast I've read many articles, but I'm still not very sure I can make this change cause I'm afraid I may brick my new phone, a comprehensive guide from the trusted xda devs will help me make this jump.
I think the only possible way to do it is to flash efs partition - correct me if I'm wrong -
Xposed framework will only mask IMEI and the carrier will still find the hard-coded one.
And what about unlock status, I think it's encoded in efs as well,
Thnx everybody for your contribution
Have a great day

so of coarse this is a touchy subject what firmware are u on is it zv6 through zva if so root it use xposed and there a module called imei changer can spoof the imei to whatever u want i use it and most online services that can do imei detection register my spoofed imei most of the time i did it with my g4 on net 10 not always a sure fire but is a possibility.
if u do get it changed to the other device change the other device to this one or destroy it
so there is no confusion in the future.
i did my g3 and forgot to change it back one time and caused a headache
other than u need the msl code from sprint and use cdma workshop to change it accordingly
the unlock on sprint lgs usually is in the carrier folder

Hello, I have never posted in this forum before but I really need help, My cousin died a few months ago and ever since we have been trying to bypass his pattern lock, We have tried everything from dusting the phone to see if we could possibly get the pattern somehow that way to watching all his old climbing videos to see if he maybe opened his phone on camera. We are out of options and we do not want to format his phone due to the unknowing of how he died, it does not make sense and we wanna see if he had anything that can help us figure this all out. Is there anything we can do to get past the pattern lock on his phone, currently the phone is in airplane mode because he was living in the USVI and signal and wifi sucked there so at night he would put his phone in Airplane mode.
Thank you for the help.

You say you never posted here before and yet right next to your name it says you've made 30 posts so far and it doesn't lie.. Now regarding the phone, we don't help people bypass passwords/patterns/fingerprint or iris scans or any security at all and the reason we don't help with that is because too many people lie and they're just trying to get a stolen phone unlocked.. If your story is legitimate the phone carrier will help you unlock the phone itself so long as you can prove your story..

Ok so I have not posted since 2011 and forgot I even did, Thanks for being the big man for pointing that out, as to the carrier helping, NO they wont, even with the death certificate and proof of being the father he can not get any help other than a factory reset and that is not what he is looking for, we need the phone to be like it is. Another question would be is there a way to take it out of Airplane mode seeing we do know his login information?

Nope not possible to get it out of airplane mode when the screens locked because if that were possible then a thief could just turn the GPS off and keep the phone hidden.. You're pretty much going to have to read around and search Google..

No it's not a lie, The help they provide is doing a factory reset on the phone and we want to keep the data, I know of plenty of programs that will remove the pattern lock but none of them will work on the Note 8. I understand people not helping out because of the security risk and the potential of it being a stolen phone.

That is hard to proof what you say is a lie or not. We can all say things here but doesn't mean it's the truth or not.
As said before you won't get any help here on bypassing the FRP. (You'll understand if you lost your phone and someone else is trying to unlock your phone, would you want us to help that thief to unlock your phone and get your important files/banking info?)
Only thing I'll say is try a Samsung service center or even getting the police/lawyers to help.

The thing is we don't know 100% whether it's a lie or not because everyone and I mean everyone who asks us to help them get around the security seems to have some sort of crazy story in order to try to make us think it's legit and they all say the same thing, "I'm not lying." So try to see it from our side.. I don't want to be the person who causes someone else's stuff to be compromised or personal stuff taken or whatever.

So just to be clear, Who does he need to talk to when he goes in? He has all his information and the death certificate. I am going to assume that is the information he will need to prove that he is his dad and that was his son. The only store he has been into so far is in WA and they told him the only thing they could do is a factory reset and like I said we want to keep all data.
And just to be clear not one person said your stupid so not sure why you said that, so many people do not come to places like this to get help because of people like you, there is no reason to act like a smart butt for no reason, we are going through a hard time and just trying to find some answers and all I am doing is asking questions, I can not help the fact that the store he went to told him they will only do a factory reset, that does not turn into anyone lying or anything.

Again, no matter what you say, or your sad or bad situation, NOBODY HERE will help you bypass security locks of any kind, it is just like this, ethical forum rules, you know,
If you have proof that you are a relative of the owner of the device and have their death certificate. You could take the device to Samsung and ask them to unlock it for you. However Samsung will probably ask allot of questions and request that you provide official documentation to prove that you are a relative of the deceased person who owned the device.
However nobody in this forum will provide you with any assistance on unlocking the device. As we do not know if the device was obtained illegally.
Honestly I'm not sure even the carrier or one of their techs can bypass the screenlock. If anyone can, it would have to be Samsung.
Remember a couple years ago, the terrorist couple in California who killed several people? The FBI confiscated their iPhones as evidence, and they couldn't bypass the screenlock. The carrier couldn't do it. They went to Apple, who said they could but refused the court order. The FBI finally got a hacker to do it for them.
Not sure if Samsung is as picky as Apple, but if Apple wouldn't unlock an iPhone to potentially prevent more terrorist action, I doubt Samsung will do it to view some family member's videos.
Not trying to be cold about it, but it's a fact.

I don't think Samsung will do that period and even if they did do that, they're absolutely going to factory reset the phone and he doesn't want them to delete anything and unfortunately that just seems suspicious that someone would want or have a need for another person's personal information.. There's no getting around the fact that it seems suspicious even if he is being honest so I'm certain that they'd factory reset it either way.

If he has offical documents proving that he is the relative of the deceased. I am sure that Samsung would be more than willing to help him unlock the device for them. Seeing as Samsung has at hand.

Even if Samsung does take him to court. If the court finds that the documents proving that he is a relative of the decease are genuine. They will order Samsung to do as he asked ASAP. I doubt that Samsung will take him to court if he does have the official documents at hand.
