S5 Mini imei changed on it's own to 350695200123951/01 - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This situation with imei changing on it's own to 350695200123951/01 has happened to my S5 Mini , phone is in perfect condition running stock software , it has never been rooted or tampered with . I have a case with Samsung at the moment trying to get this resolved as everything I can see points to an inherent defect with the affected phones that causes this to happen . Just wondered what other options have been used to rectify/restore this , I have all the information regarding the correct/original imei number , any help greatly appreciated.
thx

Could you perhaps do a post on how to fix this problem? Apparently, this is more common than we might think. (I just discovered that one of my friends’ S5 mini has this problem.)

Did you try a factory / hard reset.

It certainly should be, but that would assume he know the forum rules

that's true
or maybe because there's usually only one guest viewing the alpine forum at any given period of time, so, instead of waiting in frustration, he becomes desperate and posts the thread into a very popular section of the forum
hi yes sorry i have posted this in the wrong section if a mod wishes to move it to the correct section please do so.
and yes i have tried a hard reset i have no idea what i have done someone please help.

Your'e SOL then
wonder why da f* u changed ur imei in the first place. been watching mindfreak???
na but i need help to change it back so anyone can help?
I'm no specialist, but I was the impression that IMEI was hardcoded and cannot be changed?
nope imei is stored in the eeprom of all phones if you know how to access that you can change it
All IMEI numbers are regulated and specific to a device...its illegal to tamper with them !

[Q] Operator firmware

Hi all,
Its my first time here, after being refered to from another forum.
This is my issue......
I have a Samsung Galaxy ACE GT-S5830T. I have had it for around 12 months. It is unlocked however, it has the network firmware on it, which i find annoying.
Can i remove this firmware and revert the phone back to original firmware?
I am very new to this, i have had a quick look around and found bits and pieces however, to be honest, i am not sure what some of the headings refer to.
Thanks,
Peter.

The same can be shown in my Galaxy S2 previously. Why it cannot
be shown on S3-newest device?

Thanks for the reply from colleague and fully understand it will not be a problem during daily use.
But what I remember is there was a solution at time I was with Galaxy S2 and the phone number can be shown properly.
I just upadted to JB 4.1.2 and was hoping to see my own Number... No not there.
Would have been nice, but I dont really care if i's not shown

SM-N9200 HK version root?

Hey guys, do any of you know if we have root already for this version for Note5?
I found this the other day:
http://apk.tw/thread-706898-1-1.html
But... I don't speak Chinese and I don't know that website so I'm not risking it. Would love to get a root on my HK SM-N9200 as well.

Thanks bro. I don't think I will risk it either. There are also no comments there that confirm that it works...
At the moment I don't have a real reason to root, but i'm sure I'll need it in the future. Hopefully we will have it soon.
Good luck!

Since you have the N9200 as well, could you do me a massive favor? I'm really dissatisfied with the scrolling behavior on mine. I've made a thread about it in the General section.
Could you let me know what software version you are on? Have updated to the latest one (N9200ZHU1AOI1)? But most importantly: do you notice stuttering behaviour in scrolling through apps like Google Play store, Youtube, Facebook etc...?
You can capture the behavior by following the steps described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/note-5-scrolling-behaviour-t3195672.
Thanks in advance!

No problem, I'll try to get to it as soon as I get home, Going to Uni now.
Though I must say that I dont really use those apps because I live In china. If I use them I have to open Astrill VPN. I just Tried it with facebook, and it seems pretty smooth, except when it loads new content because of Chinas great firewall.
(Im also on the new version, but today I tried the "Package debloat" app from the Q&A section and disabled 150 or so apps)
So does anyone found any clue for N9200 root (OI1 firm) ???
Still no :\
@Seven Winds @tisfo @Willyman just got my device, im on it.
got twrp so far..
roots next..
then arter's kernel with dual sim intact..
Edit:
current progress and planned
unlock bootloader
install twrp
backup everything
reboot
notice GAPPS get removed when you unlock
verify my knox container still works (says KNOX has been locked contact your IT admin need to change lock type)
flash stock n9200 kernel with ',verify' removed (aka allows system to be mounted and modified, without this change a kernel cant boot a rooted system)
reboot and verify knox container still works (same message)
flash gapps reboot and verify
flashing back gapps didnt restore everything i was missing (looked like every app i downloaded from play store was also removed), so i reflashed the stock system i pulled out of odin tarball
restoring data
Damn im glad I backedup everything as soon as I got recovery, first boot after unlocked BTloader, it was next reboot that it deleted all my data ( so after reinstalling stock system and restoring my data, everything is back to how it was)
*** im here ***
twrp su root
reboot and verify knox container still works
flash arter kernel that I merged n9200 sources for dual sim support
reboot and test
(ii know knox wont work with any other customer kernel (i really want knox workspace with custom roms and plan on making it work)
Thank you gundal for your hard work!
I am using n9200 HK version. And I rooted my note 5 already!
Thanks for my friend in China, he helped me a lot and everything works fine.
I also installed xposed framework in my note 5.
Can you please share links to the files you've used? I tried to install twrp via Odin and I'm getting error RQT_Close and the phone writes something in chinese in the download mode.
Any customer ROM for dual sim yet?

I always use Samsung stock rom only and the root file worked for my note 5.
Have you ever unlocked CRom of your note 5 before?

You now can see a lot of replies of that website, and these replies were all from the same person, that was me.
I also got his contact by other chat app. And now I have a perfect root file for n9200 now!
Do you want to try it?

Never mind. So do you want to try root your note 5 n9200?
if so, I would give you my root file and the CROM unlocker apk for you.

SM-J327T Root Method & Custom Recovery REQUEST

Hopefully now that we got our own set of threads, someone will find root....
Any root methods posted for the SM-J327T will also work for the SM-J327T1 since they are the same exact device. But anyone from the previous thread that was under Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) please continue posting on this new thread. I have requested that a moderator move the old thread to here to avoid any confusion from new people looking for a root method for this device.
I would totally help build a rom for this device, that is once we can root it. However i don't think ill ever be purchasing another samsung again.

Same here, im going back to Motorola.
Any old unlocked phones? DeviceManagement if so pm me about them. Im stuck on metro. Not sure for how much longer though. And I don't know why they insist on locking us out of OUR phones. It is a pain, such a pain. And the reason i even got this phone is to fix my service issues. However they are just as bad.

This will trip knox and void your warranty you have been warned. Feel free to test the device with the corresponding file. it may work it may not. if it does not work it will say secure check fail and prevent you from booting into android or recovery. if that is the case use the stock rom file for your phone to fix it. I will compile a quick fix that will not delete all your apps in a little bit. after that i will post the files you can use so you can recover from a brick.

i am not totally sure that its unlocked. our device has a exynos chipset and for some reason it is locked. but i am starting to think that samsung messed up some code so even if your flashing something knox wont trip for some reason. but if anyone has the money feel free to test the international version that will be the only way to know for sure.
