Will a radio installation cause IMEI corruption??

Sorry experts this might be a dumb question, but actually can it happen???
I haven't flashed any radio yet and I wish to flash one for more signal reception...Moreover will there be any problems if I flash a Radio of a Non-X1 device (like blackstone or diamond,etc.). Will this affect IMEI???
Thanks in advance.

No. The IMEI is in essence, burned into the device and cannot be changed by ROM flashing, Radio flashing or any other process.
It's technically possible to change a phone's IMEI, but in the UK, it's not only highly illegal (up to 10 year prison term), it's highly illegal to possess equipment to do so.

Thanks flashpanda, my cousin's Samsung mobile(I dont remember the model,its a windows mobile 5) IMEI got corrupted automatically, the last 4 digits became 0's. When I took it to the Samsung service center they told me that its a Radio issue, and it can happen sometimes. They dint give me a detailed description about the issue. I dont know whether its a manufacturing defect of Samsung, but can it happen on our Xperia??? And will there be any problems if I flash a non-Xperia Radio (like diamond or blackstone) in my X1?? Moreover is there any IMEI corruption issues reported with Xperia???

Yes it can and does!
A necro post but it seems that it can happen, it could be a combination of radio spl and rom that causes it, it happened to me when I did my kaiser, thankfully I still have my hermes that I use for BBC but BAS only runs on the kaiser or better

I have to use my Hermes for that now and Blackberry Application Suite *yes, I have it!* won't run on the Hermes only the Kaiser, now you understand my predicament a bit better, would you say I am lucky...?

Only some people seem to be experiencing it. A fairly popular solution is to stick a piece of paper in the small hole at the top, rear of the device. I haven't tested it personally.

The password for this menu on the Milestone hasn't been found yet, as far as I know. Even if it was, I don't believe the same tweak for call quality found on the Droid would be applicable on the Milestone. As far as I know, it's specific to the Verizon network.
All that said, this is the wrong section.

sry...
thank for the info
by the way,your thinking maybe my service provider (Cellcom) have this code?
some pp'l told me that the SPC code is just Residue of the Droid'd software
is it true? they are diffrent beyond GSM\CDMA?
regards

I believe only Motorola has this code. The differences between the Milestone and Droid certainly go beyond the radios they use (GSM/CDMA)
The Milestone is locked down, Motorola doesn't want anybody to modify it. The Droid was released as a Google phone, which means it's allowed to be modified any way the user wishes. The Programming menu (what you want the password for) is one of the tools that let you change some otherwise-hidden settings that Motorola doesn't want you to change.

Dammit! It's bad enough I have to change my phone every 6 months in order to have the best available without having to do this with my camera! ...I must admit I would be interested in what a new version has to offer and if the price is affordable I will probably upgrade.

I just hope they add phone capabilities

Sorry...you have probably a fake note 5.
Check for sure the following application to check the phone informations.

I mean fake ones wouldnt be QHD, would be very slow, low benchmark obviously and it should never be able to run jelly bean.. if you go to about phone, you'll see software info, status, battery info, they should have N920 in them (specially baseband). Download an app like hardware info for more information about the device. But from what you described, it looks to be fake.

Fake IMEI number, Fake serial number.
The baseband leads to a website called 'CloneROM' which doesn't seem promising either.
You have a fake phone.

Changing the IMEI and serial number will be dependent on the hardware, a custom ROM will not change those.

I can't answer that question since that isn't my expertise. I would advise you to contact the seller of the phone and file a complaint.

You will obviously state what issues you have with the device.
That the device is fake.

It's certainly 100% fake. The site for CloneRom seems to be made for Chinese fake phone makers, What they all have in common is they use a octocore MediaTek (Which Samsung would NEVER use)
https://www.clonerom.com/category/galaxy-note-5
Also if you look at the base band date, it's from 2014. The Note 5 was officially released in Aug or so 2015 which is a dead give away it's fake. Also the IMEI is fake and could actually be blocked by carrier as there could be duplicates with that IMEI so they'll just block the phone so it doesn't take down the network. Each IMEI needs to be UNIQUE.
Go get your money back ASAP and buy a REAL Note 5 or Galaxy S7
Tell the guy you checked out the CPU, It's not meant to be a MediaTek (Only Exynos).
It's Running Kitkat instead of Lollipop.
It's got a bad Serial number and also bad IEMI (which is the worst thing)

stab him :| (after you take your money back)

Hi thanks, It lags when watching youtube videos. It shudders trying to play. The phone is really laggy.

Hi all, used cpu-z to list info. What do you think?

100% fake. I was a phone tech for years and I saw all kinds of chinese clones and they all had that MOLY baseband. Dead giveaway right there. Sorry man :/

Hey, I have an old China phone that's more a paperweight than a phone because every time I connect it to the internet (via a safe network) it begins downloading viruses and weird apps that try to display apps, and if I happen to uninstall them, the phone simply bricks again and doesn't works unless I do a factory reset. Know if there's any way to fix it? I can't seem to be able to root it, let alone install a custom ROM.
It's got Android 5 I believe, a friend gave it to me because it can't be used for anything because of the viruses.
I'd make a thread but I don't even know where it is right now and I think on top of all the USB port is busted.
