Keef CID > smells copper to me...
Get off!
Save your money, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=60087 instead.
IMEI changing is illegal in many countries, but for some countries that block IMEIs on phones not purchased within that country (e.g., Turkey), there's no alternative. Better check the laws in your country first!
er, what??? :shock:
Good luck with that Keef, I hope you can get a signal for GPRS from your prison cell.

Police have recently raided various addresses of people advertising blocked phones on Ebay, so advertising that you have the facility to illegally unblock them is not a good idea.
I am gona move to Brazil in a few weeks and want to use my Diamond there if possible.
I have been serveral times in Brasil and use to buy there a prepaidcard but verry often I have problems with most off the phones I used there until now even whit a custom RUU, I was wondering if the imei which ofcourse is unknown there could be a reason for it so I thought if I could change it I can use it.
I know its illigal in some countrys.
By the way my Diamond is complete legal.

Thanks, but thats dealing about sim unlock, my phone is simlock free and the other phones which I used in the past in Brazil aswell.
I am looking for a Imei changer to change it to a by Brazilian accepted Imei.

Pretty sure that's illegal, right?

Be careful with IMEI change. It's generally illegal in most countries, and not good for your bottom.

As far I now its not illigal in Brazil.

Hi Willen,
Sorry, but no information will be posted on xda about how to change an IMEI because of the legal ramifications.
It may be legal in Brazil, but anyone else could use it in a country where it is illgeal (for example, the UK) and then there could be some come back on to the site.
I have not seem any discussion on how this might be acheived either, so I don't know if it's even possible.
I wonder if any other Brazilain users might be able to help with the pre-pay card problems.
Thanks

Hi Dave
If it is illigal in the UK does it mean that even a discusion about it is forbidden? I thought the UK was a country with freedom off speech, I realy can't see how such a conversation can come back at the site, but offcoarse the last thing I want to do is indanger this marvelous site.
By the way I don't now even or I am gona need to change the imei I am just orientating seems the last time I was in Brazil with my Trinnity I was not able to get connected and I would hate it to arrive there and trough my Diamond away, only the idea makes me feel sick
Willem
That its possible to change the imei show this movie this is about a Sony phone but for me its a prove that the imei isn't a hardware mater.
Willem
The IMEI is like the serial number (VIN) on a car. Sure you can pop one off and stick on a new one, but that doesn't make it legal. It's not hardware per se, but it's issued to identify a specific piece of hardware (ie your specific device). Why do you need to change the IMEI anyway? Does Brazil only allow certain ranges of IDs to work "properly"? And what will you change it to; how do you know a number will be allowed on the network while at the same time knowing it's a unique ID?
Sorry, this smells way too fishy for these boards.
I am not the onlyone who maid have this problem that certain imei numbers won't allow you to connect as far I now in Turkey they have such a problem with imported phones searching to find a way to use my phone in a other country with a local chip I came to this possible reason
That I have nothing to hide or that my conversation could be fishy I can prove to you by giving my Imei number and phone number and adress here and my future adress in Brazil if you want to.
Willem
IMEI Change still not possible for new devices Yes it's illegal in most countries, but in my coutry everything is legal. IMEI change, unlock, debrand etc etc even stealing is legal Really !
Ok, I'm not trying to point fingers or make assumptions you stole a phone or anything. I'm just wondering how changing the IMEI is going help. I mean, is it a frequency problem or something? I use CDMA, so I'm not sure what the GSM bands the Diamond supports are vs. what bands are used in Brazil or Turkey. Certain ranges of IMEIs might be assigned to phones with certain frequency capabilities; simply assigning one of those IDs to your phone isn't going to give it new radio functionality.
sorry but....
im many countrys this is illegal.....
in the u.k you can goto prision for this.
and for this reason this thread is closed.
I have a voice together a data plan fo my Touch HD, on the same SIM card. When I bought it the person of the cellphone company had told me that I may use the SIM on my phone and on a unlocked USB minimodem. For my surprise, I tried it and there is no signal using the minimodem. I contacted the cellphone company and they told me that I cannot use the same SIM on the minimodem. I think it's unfare. And I think the signal is blocked when I put the SIM on the minimodem through the miimodem IMEI. So, If I change its IMEI to the same of my Touch HD, I'll be able to use the SIM also on my minimodem, right? I don't think it's illegal because the SIM is mine, the minimodem is mine, the cellphone is mine and I'm not gonna use it for illegal purpses (like clone other persons phone), and because when I was just to take the plan they told me one thing and when I had taken it they told me another thing.
My question: does anyone know a way for changing my data card IMEI? It's a Huawei E156.
Thank you all!
Well - if it's legal or not is obviously going to depend upon what country you're in - but odds are it's illegal.
It is illegal to change the imei on any phone.
Whether for thievery or for innocent purposes ( as yours appears to be ), it is against forum rules to solicit help in changing imei's or other illegal behavior on this forum.

What're talking about ?
I got the Sprint HTC One M8 (HK) with the intent on bringing it over to Ting which accepts Sprint devices. Issue is, the One is carrier locked via the IMEI until April, one year after the release date. So that was a bust. In the meantime I have a Fascinate with Verizon, that I can use as a donor phone for all its info. Thing I am having issues with is understanding what else needs to be changed to use the phone with Verizon. I read something about the radios need to be flashed and then while I can find the IMEI and MEID, and I can use fastboot to write my own, I cannot find anything for ESN or the MIN(MSIN). That plus the activation number, I assume will dial to Sprint not Verizon, so I'm trying to figure out what else this would entail. I will back up everything, since once April comes around, i'll switch to Ting, but until then, I'd like to enjoy my new toy.
I think XDA have a rule about giving you information about this... This is the same as bad ESN and changed it to make it work again and that is fraud..

Here we go....another victim to Tmo's overbearing retroactive IMEI blocking
I bought it used from a private seller, now 3 months later the IMEI is blocked.
What can I do about it? No holds barred here. How do I get my phone working again? If it's against XDA rules to openly discuss it, don't...please discreetly point me in the right direction or drop a PM. I'm down for anything....ANYTHING!!!
So please give me a little help...I've done some searching and what I keep seeing is 'maybe...depending on the device'....is N6 one of them it's possible?
Also, just so it's said...I have another Nexus with physical damage, but a valid 100% legit donor IMEI of which I am the original owner, so this isn't an attempt to hijack one from someone....just wanted to make that perfectly clear.

sounds like the seller sold you a stolen phone, or one not paid off. there's nothing you can do about it, and talking about changing your imei isn't allowed on XDA.

Did you contact t-Mobile to ask why the imei is blocked? Contact the seller for a refund and/or file a police report if he is not willing to do that.
Thanks guys. I did call tmo...we had a lengthy conversation, I was passed to 3 supervisors, escalated ro tier 2, and they still refused to do anything. The customer cancelled service and has an outstanding balance for the device, so Unless I pay for it ($900 they said...I got a great laugh out of that one) they won't do anything for me.
I'm aware IMEI talk usn't allowed in public, which is why I have asked people to keep that discussion OUT of this thread please...don't get this thread closed on me please, people...if you have sonething to say, please PM me.
The thing that's so messed up is I did pay for it already...it's far from my fault if that money never got to the original seller in one way or another, and now they want me to pay for it again just to use it!!! How is this literally not extortion??? Can't I file a police report against Tmo for this? They activated a brand new prepaid sim using the IMEI from the same Nexus 6 just 2 months ago, which, in my eyes, is a guarantee from Tmo that the IMEI is good, no?? I sort of feel like Tmo should be responsible for this since they let me activate it after checking the number.

It all depends on when he canceled the contract. This is why I never buy used devices unless I know the person. T-mobile and many carriers are doing this because of things just like this. Its not their fault. It is the person that sold you the device. You could file a police report against that person for selling stolen property.
As @zelendel said, it depends on when he canceled the contract. I agree it's not your fault that the money didn't get to the original seller, but what T-Mobile does isn't extortion because they still own the phone as long as there are payments left on it. It sucks, and I can only imagine the spot you're in. But T-Mobile, as the original owner of the device, is within their rights to block the IMEI.
Keep in mind that T-Mobile blocking the IMEI on their network is different from blacklisting the IMEI. In the case of the former, it only applies to the T-Mobile network and covers non-payment of the monthly charge for the equipment. The latter applies to all carriers and covers if the device is lost or stolen.
In short, if the device is blocked, you can try it on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, or any of their MVNOs. If it's blacklisted, the device likely won't work at all on any carrier. There are of course no guarantees that using another carrier will work, but as this apparently isn't a lost or stolen phone the chances of being able to use the device are high.

Port to cricket is your easiest and quickest fix. Nothing wrong with the service. Been using it for a year.
I've been using Straight Talk for several years now. No problems with them, and they are a MVNO that has agreements for all the US networks.
Since T-Mobile isn't available, you don't like AT&T, and Sprint is terrible, your only real option is Verizon.

Thank you!! I'm not ignoring you, bud I'm running N preview and I haven't had time to flash a 6.0 rom to test this. It's on my to-do list, though. If that actually works I'd be pretty happy with it at least as a temporary fix...just too bad it's totally dependant on xposed, you know? That could put a real damper on updating it, which is like 90% of what makes Nexus devices so awesome. Thanks for the idea, though!
@hp420,
If you bought on Swappa or eBay and paid with PayPal... PayPal's buyer protection is good for 180 days after purchase. File a claim against the seller on PayPal. Device "Significantly not as Described". You will get your money back, for sure....

I agree that the private phone sales situation is in a pretty sad state. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it is fraudulent on the part of the service providers. They should either provide an easily accessible lookup database (this would have to be a joint database among *all* service providers) to validate that a device is unencumbered, or forgive the "new" owner if the original skipped town.
Normally I would say that a problem with a product should be handled between buyer and seller, but in this case, that doesn't secure the buyer at all.
The service provider just wants to sell you a new phone.
