Type Allocation Holder Samsung
Mobile Equipment Type Samsung GT-i9000M
GSM Implementation Phase 2/2+
IMEI Validity Assessment >|< Very likely
LOL
and this is what shows up when i try the SNS
Note: This IMEI number seems to be correct, but we do not have any information on this specific handset. Please add the missing information below.

i9000m worked fine.. but it said it was for europe..

I know its illegal to change IMEI numbers for fraud, but its not illegal to repair your own IMEI number. I have researched, its only illegal to change it to something other than what it actually is. Repair is perfectly fine.
With that being said, at some point, my phone has 0'd out its own IMEI number. Under software it says MEID=0 and the phone carrier is not recognizing it, even though i have the actual IMEI number under the battery. I need to repair it internally so it can communicate with the network.
I know some of how to do this with cdma workshop, but the problem is that the imei is more digits than cdma workshop is allowing me to enter (and part of it is greyed out). Do i need a differnt version of cdma workshop, like a newer one than 2.7 or what do i need to do to fix my phone.
(I guess im also required to say this is for educational purposes only)
But i really just wanna FIX my phone. Thanks
Hi everyone. So I recently got my Korean SKT GS3 stolen while at a wedding in India. I have friends here who know a person or two in the police, and is in a position to help me out and get my phone back for me. However, in order to do that I need the IMEI number. I didn't write down my IMEI number before I had it stolen, but I DO have the box that the phone came with. There are a lot of different numbers on the box, and I'm not sure which one the IMEI number is. I assumed it was 15 digit number on the box, but when I checked it with www.imei.info, it gave a completely different phone. There's another 15 character thing on the box, but I think that's the serial number because it starts with 12 SSBO 4G *******.
Can anyone confirm which number is the IMEI number? And by chance.. would anyone know if it's possible to track this Korean phone when it's in India?
Thanks in advance!
I just purchased a used H811 Tmobile LG G4. Popped in a Tmobile SIM and it's working fine.
However, to my great surprise, the IMEI number displayed from Settings or by dialing *#06# does not match the one printed on the label behind the battery.
Tmobile rep actually said that this might be due to CDMA support on G4, which requires a different IMEI.
I am not so sure this makes sense.
Does anyone's IMEI number not match like mine?
Thanks in advance.
Can't check right now but I believe the one in software is the one that cell companies see and block if needed. The printed one is for hardware repairs and such. Though they should be the same number. I'll check later and report back.
Phone was blacklisted and someone changed imei so it would work. Both numbers should match unless the phone has been tampered with. Sorry
Hello, i'm in trouble with an S5 g900a. The typical "phone not allowed mm#6" appeared one day, after almost 1 year I'd purchased it. By the way, i bought it unlocked, in a store located in Paraguay.
I've read many posts about this message that appeared, i went to my service provider (Claro Argentina) to ask for imei blacklisted, but they said it is clean. But there is something more i've found now, the imei that appears when i dial *#06# (this is the one my provider checked) is the same that is written by the label of the box, BUT... when i try to see my phone's imei through different software such as SamMobile app or EFS Professional with Qualcomm NV Tools, the imei informed is a different one (that belongs to a g900f model) and, what is more, this imei results to be blacklisted since the same day my phone became out of service.
- Why is my phone giving this 2 different imeis?
- How can i recover the original one?
Hope you can understant my English and give me any help or information on how to solve this.
Thanks in advance,
Maxi.
Short version: who can fix IMEI on my (legally bought) phone?
Long story: I bought a new G870A phone around XMAS from an ebay-like store (I live in Poland). It seems to be an American phone (I get an ATT logo). It worked fine in Poland for two weeks I was using it (Polish SIM, T-mobile operator), but then I left for my work in South Korea, where I have a Korean SIM (SKT op.) it had connectivity issues: phone/SMS/wifi work, but mobile data doesn't work if the phone displays LTE 4G on the top. If it shows just 4G it works. I took it too SKT shops (three), all swear it's not an operator problem. Took it to the Samsung service center, they couldn't figure things out, sent it to the factory. I got a call from them (well, I don't speak Korean, so it's handled by my Korean gf). She said: "the number of INEI on the phone does not match the manufacturer’s serial number on the phone. Based on my understanding from his explanations, the manufactures finds for the serial number with INEI numbers, two numbers need to be the same. If another person is using a phone with the same INEI numbers with yours, your phone might not work properly. Your phone is not in the process for A/S since ur phone itself has the problem. So, they suggested you to contact the distributor what happens." I did some research on IMEI, and I am confused. I am reasonably sure that the place I bought in Poland is legit (I got the box, warranty card, proof of purchase; the business has official government registration, and 99% satisfaction ratio for its ~2,000 sales). The mobile data worked in Poland, which would suggest IMEI was fine - until the flight/SIM change? What could have messed it up? And if it is, who can fix it for me? Seems like the Samsung rep wants me to take the phone halfway through the world and complain to the Polish seller? Should I try to get if fixed in Korea? Whose fault is it? It also seems like it is possible to get the IMEI changed without root, could it be that someone "stole" my IMEI number? Could IMEI numbers work in one country but not the other? Should I try to change the IMEI myself - and if so, are there any good guides for that? I also read that changing IMEI is not legal in many countries, but presumably the vendor/service center can do it? But who is the party that should fix my phone? The original vendor? Are IMEI problems covered through warranty?
