I don't know if it can work but found this on my disk.
This tutorial is only for my ex p990 but if you get desperate you may try it. I lose my imei trying to flash wrong way, so I found somewhere on the net this tutorial to get it back. If it can work with p880 you may change your imei to europe open (I don't know where to find such IMEI).
So if unlocking depends on imei maybe it work ( I personally doubt this).
1. Connect phone by USB
2. Enter 1809#*990# in dialer
3. Select Port Settings -> Select CP USB
4. Start hyperterminal, in COM settings select same port like in devide manager -> LGE mobile USB Serial Port, 115200
5. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number
6. Type at%imei, it should display your current IMEI
7. Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x , where x,x,x... is your stolen or borrowed euro IMEI number
8. Reset
At step 2. you should probably enter p880 hidden menu code and step 7. you must find some eur imei.
Anyway I would rather wait couple days maybe someone finds other solution as I’m not sure if this method is safe for our device.
If you decide to risk and try this I wish you best luck.

IMEI: 352967050008790
Remember to save Your own IMEI because You MUST change the IMEI to Your own after unlocking bootloader! (ofc if IMEI will change the version)
@edit we have to enter our own hidden menu 3845#*880# and there is everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734330 there is better tutorial for it
If I try to change the IMEI to the one mentioned by reas0n I get "IMEI WRITE ERROR". Showing original IMEI is fine.

what is a hyperterminal ???
Do you know Putty? Get this little tool, switch to serial, write your COM-Port and the Baudrate mentioned in the steps.
Changing IMEI was not working for me. (Rooted 20A)
It comes back with an IMEI write error unfortunately. Everything else worked until the write.
OK

IMEI WRITE ERROR
Is it possible to downgrade to the 10h Euro Open version? Also advice wise, what is the best USB connection type to use for all this adb and fastboot work? Lots of options these days in 20A.
(tried with the KDZ hack but it doesn't want to complete the process as it complains if it cannot read a cell number or detect a network, then finally fails to decompress the image [which might be a file corruptions issue] I'll try with the SIM).
Imei write error -.-

Damn it... Even with root in can't work? if we can't change imei, what we can do hmm.. I need someone who has facebook and fast internet to downloading, pm me someone. Maybe we can find the solution.
I don't know what exactly happend, but I had the v10d firmware ( AHASBK ), and I flashed the v20a and I got:
P88020a-230-10
I've checked in the hidden menu and it says that my BL is locked
What should I do know? I'm currently downloading the necessary files to flash back to 4.0.3 and try an another kdz v20a.
Do you guys have any suggestions how to get the unlocked version ?
Btw thanks for your hard effort
234 here as well. UK t-mobile phone.
I tried to unlock it using Linux to avoid all the crap drivers, fastboot says it unlocked but the test shows it as locked again:
Code:
# fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) Showing Options on Display.
(bootloader) Use device keys for selection.
(bootloader) Bootloader is unlocked now.
I'll try again with some battery later

its certainly something strange, ive flashed back and too testing every different way i could think off,but still have it saying 23400.
its also not anything to do with the build prop where its read from in the secret menu, as my build prop says its v20a euro xxxx

Try to flash the V20A with the LGFlash Tool.
I pass from a Brazilian v10a to v20a and got euro-xxx...
I think the previous version is not importante.
If there is an issue is something else.
thankyou il try that,i remember now that mine was euro open when i first changed from v10F to v10H so maybe its versions before v10h(before they knew or making jb for 4x) so any protection may of only been added to v10h

Is it possible to changed imei
I got a problem with my phone (G800F) my imei has changed. I don't know how but it did..are there any solutions to fix this ? I don't know what to do now.. now it will not connect to network
Think you flashed a rom with another CSC as original, or? Also think you do not have a EFS backup...
I didn't make a backup.. because I did not changed the rom .. that is why I don't understand why the imei has changed... If I put the imei on the website imei.info it says Nokia 6310.. I think I must wait for people to create a program to fix this .. or are there already solutions for this??
hi, i have exactly the same problem. Did noting and suddenly my imei has changed.
Afther hours of researce i havent found a working solution . Is there a way to change the imei back to the original one?
-Samsung S5 mini / G800F

Yeah, thats exactly the samething happening to me! What the hell is this? You guys remember if you also got a myserious call from ukraine around that time?
So this is a bug?!?
Well, ok. I don´t mind. I dont see how i can fix this and nobody is willing to help me. I´ll just buy a new s7.
Hi All,
Did any one actually get a fix for this issue as I have exactly the same problem, my SM-G800F IMEI now also shows as - IMEI 350695200123951-01 which is for a blacklisted NOKIA 6310. If anyone can supply an absolute beginners guide for me as to how I can get my original Imei back that would be fantastic.
I am just a user of an android phone and have zilch experience of tinkering with them.
I have seen reference to things like Odin and flashing firmware and am quite happy to give it a go myself and learn
I will post this on a few other threads that list the same issue as I am desperate to get this fixed now as is a waste of a perfectly good phone !!
Cheers.
Intro : Hello guys i had used SP flash tool to flash stock rom on my micromax canvas a1 . After That i selected Format and Download ( normally we just download but i selected format and download ) and found flashed the rom . Now i noticed the serial number of the device was turned to 00000000 and imei number to invalid . So now i fixed the invalid IMEI number problem . ANd i am back with a tutorial on how to regain serial number back of you phone to regain warranty .
CHECK THIS VIDEO BEFORE MOVING FURTHER -
To check Serial Number just connect your phone to PC ( usb debugging ) and type adb devices ( correct adb files needed )
You can also use Uncle mobile tool -> Device Information to check the serial number
Using Different serial code for infinite warranty is not a good idea as there is serial code printed behind the phone. and its illeagal .
Note : This post is for educational purpose only . Here i will be teaching you how to regain serial number to the one which is on your device box ( u should not change serial number to something else ) Customer service refuse to help me with a wrong serial code so i found out how to regain old serial number .
ROOT + NON ROOT METHOD :Step 1. Download and Extract the package given below .
Step 2. Run IMEI and SN writer .exe file .
Step 3. Download the DB as well as GLU files for your mobile.
Step 4. In IMEI and SN writer Select USB and then smart phone
Step 5. Click on 'Select DB' and attach GLU file over there , Later on attach DB file ( once you double click on GLU file the popup wont go , U again need to select the DB file )
Step 6. Now Select Serial Number , IMEI , Bluetooth , Wifi mac adress in write item and write what numbers and values you want.
Step 7. Click on start and turn your phone off.
Step 8. Connect your phone in Switched off mode and wait till it flashes and done. You have changed BT WIFI IMEI and SN number.

can I write old logical board info on a new one(S/N,IMEI...)
Hello all,
I would like to buy a new logical board for my N910c but I have a few question before, if any of u know to answer me.
I would buy it as new OEM because old one isn't fully functionally (missing blitz camera + sensor, lose wifi signal or is low, 4G)
1. when logical board come to me will be without Sistem, IMEI,S/N... ?
2. can I write old logical board info on this one. S/N, IMEI...
2.1 This can be done more easy and right in a Samsung authorized service and
phone will have no problem in future?
3. If the answer for this is yes come another question, if my KNOX will be untouched 0.
3.1. new system update will come as normally?
Reason I want to do by myself is price. I found is more cheap to buy same logical board. Samsung authorized service give me logical board with almost +10%.
I need this info on new one to make my identification with some device from work.
Thank you for your time.

Help me for this problem.. Thank u
Hello , i have found a solution to fix imei issue which is much simpler than sn writer tool. This method works for rooted devices.
All you need is an android device which is rooted(use kingroot as it works flawlessly on android 4.2.2 and above)
after your device is rooted download Chamelopon apk from playstore or from xda itself.
Open the app and click on insert imei, write your imei and reboot your device....and there you have your IMEI fixed. Ive tried many tools but this works flawlessly and saves a lot of time.
Hope you find this helpful.....CHEERS

Hay, there, Thanks for the post, I was glade that in 2015 someone there also thinks for old guys too, because i have seen most of the post for MTK are before 2015 and inactive,
So my question regarding this is that, is this fix is the permanent solution for NVRAM ERROR (Which causes invalid IMEI, Wifi mac address changing, S No and i don't know what it does to the Bluetooth) AND The GLU file you gave does not have the MT6572 does it support my wiko Lenny MTK6572
AND BTW where can i get DB & GLU for my Wiko Lenny Mediatek MT6572, Dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 (I really don't have them and couldn't find them from uncle google yet, meanwhile i have downloaded an update file from wikomobile.com/UK and have an SPFlashtool flashable ROM but it also doesn't have the NVRAM as far as I can see. You guys are devs you may also now some ways to extract NVRAM for system.ext4 or somewhere)
And Finally whether i can copy paste my current NVRAM folder (while i know the error is there because i have made this backup after i got the NVRAM WARNING Error 0x10)
Please HELP because i think my questions are quit relevant to the job and the fix you kindly provided to the sanking guys.
Thanks again

Same thing happened to me after I unbricked my device using the exact same tutorial. However, even with IMEI 0 I can still make and receive calls and text messages. But I'm not sure if I should leave my device like this. If someone has any solution to provide I would be very grateful! I hope it doesn't involve flashing any ROM again cause I'm really afraid that I may brick my phone again ...
Hey guys, I had exactly the same problem. I tried different things including flashing various Roms and Bootstack, but nothing seemed to work. Since I’ve been searching for a solution quite a while, I now have the honor to help you out and everyone with an L90, who stumbles upon the same issue.
First of all, I made a backup of my EFS, so that I could restore the state my phone was in (IMEI=0, but working baseband). You can do that easily with TWRP (thx to shoxxy . By the way, this is something which we all should have done beforehand. It would have been much easier to restore our IMEIs.
But don’t worry, if you follow the instructions in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwzgs1Cmr9k) you should be able to get your IMEI working again. For those, who feel more comfortable following written instructions I copied the following procedure using this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960918) as a model and edited them a little to the way it just worked for me.
Do this on your own responsibility! And better double-check with the video our other threads.
Before you start:
Download this package (http://www.mediafire.com/download/figdbxb75j5kyry/package.rar), it belongs to the user who made the video on youtube (PremiumRepair).
Make sure your phone is rooted and USB-Debugging is enabled (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951)
Procedure :
Install Drivers. Either you use LG Support Tool or download them directly. For me the LGUnitedMobileDriver+3.14.1_ML_WHQL.exe worked just fine. Don’t forget to uninstall old drivers or you could run into problems.
Install QPST v2.7.378. Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable is a prerequisite, just confirm it.
Plug your device into your PC (USB port)
Run QPST Configuration from your Windows Start menu. Switch to the second tab ("Ports") and choose "Add new port" (bottom left button). You should see a COM port associated with "USB/QD Diagnostic". Select it, then press Ok. You can close the QPST Configuration window now.
Open Windows Explorer and browse to "C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin" (or wherever you installed QPST) and launch RF_NV_Manager.exe. In RF NV Manager, Go to "Settings / Comport". You should see your COM port in the dropdown box. Select it, then press OK.
Go to "File" and choose "Read from phone". RF NV Manager will read all NV items from the phone. Now if you see item #550, you will be able to alter it (see below). If you can’t find it, go to “File” and choose “Read supported RF NV Items”. If you still can't find it, there is a way to create it. Take a look at the thread I linked to.
Now comes the critical step of altering the IMEI. Select item #550 and you'll see 9 boxes on the right, a "Write NV" button and an "Hex" checkbox. Check the "Hex" checkbox.
Now, you'll have to enter the IMEI in the 9 boxes in a very specific way. The easiest way is to use the IMEI converter (for other method see linked thread). Put your IMEI in, convert it and put the digits in the boxes (two number per box).
Now you can then press "Write NV" to write the IMEI value to your phone.
Once done, unplug the device, and reboot it. Now you IMEI should be changed. If it’s not your number, take a look at the step seven again and check the video.
Please give a feedback, if it worked for you (incl. Details about your device, ROM, etc.) so that other users can profit from it. Thanks
Edit: @ BlackStorm94 - Don't worry about the warning. It will vanish if you install a different ROM.
I'm stuck at step 6. When I click Read From Phone, I get an error which says that my phone is not present. Also, on QPST Configuration, even tho I have set the Port to the one my phone appears, under Phone it says No Phone ... I guess my phone isn't recognized for some reason. Do I need to root it before I do this? I hope not because I don't really want to mess with it after the hard brick

mhh, that sounds like a problem with the drivers. Did you uninstall all the drivers (incl. Qualcomm drivers) from your PC? And have you installed the official LG drivers for our devices (for example from the link in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62405939&postcount=138) Try another PC if it still doesn't work

I'm going to try on a new computer tomorrow afternoon and I'll let you know how it went. I uninstalled all drivers associated with my phone on my computer and after reinstalling them I still got no results. I guess I may have confused it So that's why I'll try on a new one. Thanks for your help
Hello, sorry for the late reply. I just wanted you to know that even though I tried with another computer, my phone was still not recognizable. It doesn't really matter tho, cause even with the IMEI 0 I still have service and it works normaly for about a month now. If you have any solution then I would like to try it, but if not then it's okay. Thanks for your time
No worries! You do have USB-Debugging enabled, have you!? I mean you probably needed to do this for rooting. But if you haven't done it yet, that's probably the problem. Enable USB-Debugging like this (Go to Settings > General > About phone > Software information, tap Build number seven times and then go to Settings > Developer options and turn on Usb debugging) (copied from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951)

No worries! You do have USB-Debugging enabled, have you!? I mean you probably needed to do this for rooting. But if you haven't done it yet, that's probably the problem. Enable USB-Debugging like this (Go to Settings > General > About phone > Software information, tap Build number seven times and then go to Settings > Developer options and turn on Usb debugging) (copied from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951)

Yeah yeah, I had USB Debugging enabled every time I plugged my phone into both of my PCs. But I don't think that's the reason this tutorial isn't working on my phone. When I unbricked the device, I had to use the L90 D405 loader.img in order to reflash the bootloader and recovery. But my phone is the d405n model, and that's the ROM I installed to it. So the phone now thinks that it is the D405 but the ROM I have installed is the one for d405n. I hope you understood this cause I know it's a bit weird I see options to activate NFC but I never use it so I can't tell you if it works. However I can activate it properly. Anyway, about the IMEI, as I told you, it basically works without problems even with 0 because I think that my service provider doesn't block anybody except someone reports the device as stolen. If you have any further solutions then let me know but if not the don't worry, I'm okay!

Ah, that makes sense. Flashing the right bootstack as described here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/bootstack-kk-l-l90-t3118632) could maybe help you (I haven't tried the one for D405n myself but it's supposed to stable). On the other hand: You probably installed a .kdz (ROM) with the correct Bootstack for your D405n included. ...So I don't think it'll bring back the IMEI or change anything. I'm running out of ideas, sry!

It's okay I don't want to bother you any further. I'll buy a new phone soon anyways and since I'll give this one to my small brother, I don't think he'll really worry if his IMEI is 0 If at some point this device gets blocked by a service provider then I'll start searching for ways to fix it again. That bootstack page you mentioned seems useful. I'll try that if I do have any problems. Thank you very much for your help
That sounds reasonable! You are really welcome If you still need help just post here again. Although I have no other ideas at the moment someone else might. If you felt supported here I'd really appreciate the thanks! button. Yeah, you are right, the bootstacks supplied by Xemidra are of great value for our LG L90.

Update: I actually fixed it I know I told you that I would leave it as it is for now, but today I had nothing to do, so I decided to try my best and fix it. What I did was, as the post you told me said, I had to install the Kit Kat bootstack and the easiest way to do that is by flashing the Kit Kat rom. So I downgraded to android 4.4.2 using the stock rom I found on another post, and then I used your tutorial on the Kit Kat version. This time I was able to pass step 6 because my phone was getting recognized properly. I also didn't needed root access after all, since the new rom was just installed and it worked. After finishing the tutorial and restarting the phone, my IMEI was back! Then I upgrated my phone to the lollipop version, and when the upgrade finished, my IMEI was still there. So now I'm in lollipop with a working IMEI. I'm so thankful to you now, thank you very much for helping me and providing me these useful tutorials. I really appreciate it
Wow, that's just great!=) congratulations, you can be proud! Happy for you, that was quite an issue. You are welcome=) Well, someone from this forum helped me out, when I seeked for help and I am happy to give something back. Thank you for sharing your solution! That should be helpful for the next one stumbling over this problem. Enjoy your completely restored phone!=)
Hello XDAs,
After reading that Forum with much enthusiasm for a few...well...years, i got my first question.
I hope you can help me with a big problem on my g800f: I can´t register in network.
When I search for network it pops up a few results, but if choose one to register, it says "Can´t register. Try again later."
I did a few hours of research and found out it might have something to do with my IMEI (Note: till that day i did nothing to my phone, except cf-autoroot. But never faced any problems!).
So I checked my IMEI and it wasnt the original, it was changed to 350695200123951. So I googled a bit and realised it might have something to do with the efs-partition. Googled for solutions.
Found out it might help to flash a Stock-Rom, one with three parts, via odin so i did it. Everything worked fine, but my IMEI still was the different one.
I was a bit irritated so i searched for that IMEI. And there are a few threads (some in russian and arabian), also owners of a g800f, which also reported this problem: They did nothing, but sudddenly the IMEI changed to this number. One author tells he received a myserious call from the ukraine after this happened. He didnt answer it. I am quite sure i also received that call- I didnt answer it either.
So i googled even mre: "How to restore a damaged efs-partition, without backup?" I came to one very outdated guide which wanted me to delete the efs (after saving it on externalSD) and do a few mysetrious actions...
Well, i just realised i cant fully delete the efs, its not possible and i also cant apply my backup from external sd. Anyone knowing a solution for this?
But, the most important, how can i bring my g800f back into mobile network?
Or just: How can i get away from that cursed IMEI?
Any Ideas?
P.S. If you got any questions regarding technical details of my phone(CSC, AP, Kernel, Modems), just ask. I´ll answer.
P.P.S I´m excusing for that horrible english. I googled the entire night and i´m german.

I´ve just seen this problem being reported i a different thread. Guess the problem will be discussed there?
Hi All,
Did any one actually get a fix for this issue as I have exactly the same problem, my SM-G800F IMEI now also shows as - IMEI 350695200123951-01 which is for a blacklisted NOKIA 6310. If anyone can supply an absolute beginners guide for me as to how I can get my original Imei back that would be fantastic.
I am just a user of an android phone and have zilch experience of tinkering with them.
I have seen reference to things like Odin and flashing firmware and am quite happy to give it a go myself and learn
I will post this on a few other threads that list the same issue as I am desperate to get this fixed now as is a waste of a perfectly good phone !!
Cheers.
SM-G800F, can't register in network
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. Since some month I got the message "can´t register in network". After checking all, I found that my SM-G800F IMEI has changed to a NOKIA 6300 IMEI.
If anyone knows a fix for this issue (set back to the orignal IMEI) , it would be great. All apps which I could find didn't work (XPOSED IMEI Changer Pro , Mobile Uncle Tools App, MTK Technikmodus... ), are not supporting S5mini.
I don't have a backup of the original system EFS file.
Would be great when one could help.
Regards
Chris
@S5miniChris somewhere in XDA I read that restoring the original stock (multiple part) firmware might or did help.
Gotta do it in Odin (recommended to use an older version like 3.09).

Thanks for your reply.
I have installed the original stock firmware. But it did not change the IMEI. Available for my model is only the single file " G800FXXU1CRG3_G800FDBT1CRE1_G800FXXU1CRG3_HOME.tar.md5"
Multible file firmware I couldn't find.
A manual modification of the IMEI should be possible with " Best smart Tolls " e.g. : BSTPRO 4.03 . But for the software a dongle is requiered. To purchase this is for one time use too expensive for me

Where from did you get the stock?
Samfirm_reborn tool already tried?
https://github.com/ivanmeler/SamFirm_Reborn/releases
Checking "binary nature" or "factory mode" downloads a multiple part rom.
Edit:
Checked tool and it's working.

I flashed now also with " binary nature " firmware downloaded with SamFim. The IMEI is still the same, it hasn't changed to the orginal IMEI.
I really can't believe that a firmware update will flash the E2PROM where the IMEI is stored. Therfor the orginal IMEI must be stocked some where
in the phone and by flashing transfered to the E2PROM.
