Has something chaned my IMEI number?

Bit of a vague question, I know!!
Yesterday, I tried to register a pay as you go sim card to my TyTN II, but the automated registration process would not accept my IMEI number. After several failed attempts, I had to get hold of another phone, and register using that IMEI number. However, when I compared the 2 IMEI numbers afterwards, my TyTN one had an extra 2 digits. So I checked it against the original box, which also has a different IMEI number, as the phone had been replaced under warranty, but that also had 2 less numbers than my actual phone.
Now I'm not really sure what I have done to my phone, but everything I have done came from here. I haven't touched it for about 3 or 4 months, as I was happy with the way it was. It was a UK Orange TyTn II, which I unlocked, hardspl'ed and upgraded to wm6.1, all from here. I think I used something from olipro, and the rom was a stock voda one, and not one of the cooked ones. I seem to remember reading that maybe the unlocking, or the hardspl'ing could do this? What, if anything, can I do about this now? I'd like to change it back if possible? Thanks.

The sticker under your battery will have a 15 digit IMEI number. If you check your IMEI in Windows by doing *#06#, you will see a 17 digit IMEI number. As long as the first 15 numbers match the sticker under the battery, then you're fine.

Thanks. Panic over? I think?
Yes, the imei number behind the battery matches what is displayed by the phone, except the phone adds 01 onto the end? Is this normal?

is lMEl changing possible for this PDA ? if possible how to ?

I'm pretty sure this not the appropriate place to discuss changing you IMEI number. It's illegal and unscrupulous. I'm pretty sure the moderators of this forum would deffinetly not want to see this post.

My problem is solved (thanks everyone ) so happy for this to be locked, if required.

IMEI
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is not something easy to change
ur first 15 characters matches - so u r fine

... and just for the reference:
back in the days, when I still had my hermes, I've managed somehow to wipe it's imei through flashing roms. don't ask me how it is possible, but when I went to settings/system/device information/hardware the imei field was blank.
never had a chance to test it, but I believe that it may be the cause of my further problems with it. that device was constantly connecting for like up to 5 sec. to the network, then out of a sudden connection was dropped for some time. dunno. other thing is, that it radio could be faulty after a drop.
whatever....

imei # changes after providers customization?
I noticed after using a direct from factory (htc repair center) phone that if you stop the mobile providers freeware bloatware from running that my imei # did not match my sticker (was 17 not 15 digits long) so I ran a search found this thread. like the original poster we were both concerned with not having matching imei's, I didnt want to send my phone back to htc. I panicked and posted before reading the entire thread. I was not and am not interested in hacking my IMEI was just worried that it shipped out wrong.
I didnt want to delete my post afterward so instead pointed out that Im a putz and that Notatreofan answered the original posters concerns as well as my own.
thanks again for leaving these old threads around they do help?

Yes, changing IMEI numbers is possible - but mostly only necessary for low life thieving scum - also illegal in most countries.
No one on this forum will tell you how to do it - pursuing the question will probably get you banned - pursuing the solution might also get you jailed.

you better check on the date of the post you are replying to... silly little boy...

Bumping an old thread is just bollocks...

I'll just add that the last two digits are the SVN (Software Version Number) that's all.

Want some info on your IMEI?

Go here to get some IMEI info.

i got this
Note: Please check the IMEI number. The entered number is invalid. [Err 501]
LOL
but then i tried another one it came out with this... the most funny part was IMEI Validity Assessment
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.

for my i9000t i got that the number is valid but it doesnt have any informtion regarding it.. Since i dont want at&t to get my number and raise rates i declined.
i9000m worked fine.. but it said it was for europe..

[Q] Where is the serial number ?

I cracked my phone last week and am trying to get a replacement with my 2 year protection plus plan. The Sony representatives are asking for a serial number. I've checked the box and there is no mention of a serial number or s/n number. I've pulled out the scroll from the side flaps and it has a bunch of numbers but the representative has no idea which one is the s/n. can someone confirm which number is the serial that Sony is looking for ?

I think they should mean the imei number

They said they only take the serial number which is a 10 digit code with a mix of letters and numbers.

There's a bunch of serial number looking things on my box, but I can't find it on the phone itself. I hope you kept your box.
Alternatively try typing "*#*#7378423#*#*" and seeing if it's in there somewhere.

nvm

Can you still acess the phone?
Settings - About Phone - Status - Serial number: 10 characters, letters and numbers

Unfortunately , I cracked my screen and there's no response for the screen anymore

Plug your phone to your pc Via USB cable.
In Device and printers find the phone , depend on what mode you had Xperia connectivity in MTP or MSC it shows up as different device. MTP shows up as Sony Z3 Compact, MSC as D5XX
Right click for Properties, Hardware tab, click Properties button, in the Details tab, in the dropdown select "device instance path"
Your serial number (the red bit here) should be the end of a long line USB\VID_0FCE&PID_01BB\XY1234ABCD if you were in MSC
or #XY1234ABCD&0# if in MTP (ignore the # and the &0#)

Open the compartment where SIM card is located. If you look closely, you will see a small white paper-like flap coming out of a grove near the SIM card slot (it's located between the SIM slot and the back of the phone). Using a pair of tweezers or something similar with fine tips, carefully pull it out. It is a piece of paper with the serial number, IMEI, country of origin and year and week of manufacturing of your device. I didn't pull out mine completely and was easily able to push it back once done.

OP wanted to know what the serial number is on the scroll. The scroll dose not have the serial number printed on it. Mine only has Model,SI (?) , IMEI,Type,FCC ID and IC. None of which matches the serial number. Does your scroll have the Serial number?

Wow, you just saved my bacon. Thanks, kind stranger!

[Q]IMEI changed,how can I get it back?

I bought this phone in second hand condition from a friend and found that the IMEI of this phone was changed.
I don't have any problem,but I just want a decent IMEI on my phone.
Now I don't know the original imei of it,but I found a imei written behind the phone,which is recognized as i9305 which seems to be the real imei of this phone.
I searched and found some procedure for changing the imei of my phone.
Is it safe to change the imei to that written one?
And are these imei changing processes safe?
Any answers appreciated.

Nope unfortunately

Flash it with HCU maybe it will work (it's a paid app)
: HCU Client

IMEI SV is the Software Version of the IMEI-related code in your phone. It's always "22" on the P9.
At least on my phone, the IMEI is shown directly on the "About phone" page in the settings, while the IMEI SV ("22" here, as well) is shown on the "Status" subpage (which shows signal strength and MAC addresses and so on).
Another way to display the IMEI, which is mandated by the GSM standards body, is by entering *#06# in the dialler. Does it show anything there?
