There is some way to change the imei in an Honor Play phone, I am looking for a way to reuse my phone since the operators did not accept it for being imported.
If someone can help me with some possible way so I can use it again I would appreciate it very much.
Honor Play COR-L29 with Android 8.1
:crying:
unfortunately, talk about "how to change / replace the IMEI are not allowed on XDA as this throws suspicions, the device might have been stolen and that`s illegal. The internet might help you more than XDA on this matter.
Recovering the IMEI after certain user`s interventions such us bad updates, modes installed whatever, it is different from replacing / changing and it is allowed and there are some tools around.

i understand the implications of some unlockers modifying IMEI's and understand reasons for this not being welcome on the forum, but now i don't know why it has been tottaly removed without an answer ? now i dont know if its ok to use or not. i cant be the only person to have downloaded it right ?
would it not have been better to have removed the posts linking the file as apposed to the whole thread itself giving somone ( a modorator ) time to establish whether it was potencially illegal or not ?
i just wanna know if its legal to use or not ?
don't mean to sound shirty or anything.
i dont think its legal, if you mess with your imei, you dont have insurance anymore in case something happens to your phone.
and are there not other ways to unlock your phone?
i remember network codes on the old samsung and nokia phones. like *#-----#
only stolen phones needs new/change of IMEI
this is the reason why it is illegal, as it provides a venue for stolen phones to be used by others
As above

I understand your problem. But any posts against the XDA rules are restricted. I advice you to delete the thread.
Thread closed.
Changing the IMEI is illegal in many places and will not be talked about here.
Hello this is my first post, I need advice regarding IMEI fix for my unlocked Ls991,
I've received it as a gift for Christmas and I really like this device, it's not blacklisted or stolen, but the problem is that I live in Syria where the regime and carrier networks will block the phone from connecting to network unless I play an unreasonably high fee just to allow my net phone to work on Syrian network which is very unfair.
I've paid the fee for my old phone and I'm not wiiling to pay it again every time I get a new phone, I wish If I could just change IMEI of my new phone and put my old phone's IMEI instead so they can't find out that I got a new device.
As an Android enthusiast I've read many articles, but I'm still not very sure I can make this change cause I'm afraid I may brick my new phone, a comprehensive guide from the trusted xda devs will help me make this jump.
I think the only possible way to do it is to flash efs partition - correct me if I'm wrong -
Xposed framework will only mask IMEI and the carrier will still find the hard-coded one.
And what about unlock status, I think it's encoded in efs as well,
Thnx everybody for your contribution
Have a great day

so of coarse this is a touchy subject what firmware are u on is it zv6 through zva if so root it use xposed and there a module called imei changer can spoof the imei to whatever u want i use it and most online services that can do imei detection register my spoofed imei most of the time i did it with my g4 on net 10 not always a sure fire but is a possibility.
if u do get it changed to the other device change the other device to this one or destroy it
so there is no confusion in the future.
i did my g3 and forgot to change it back one time and caused a headache
other than u need the msl code from sprint and use cdma workshop to change it accordingly
the unlock on sprint lgs usually is in the carrier folder

Just for my understanding. How to get "your" IMEI back? As far as I know a demo device never had an IMEI.

@djcedric Thanks very much for your explanation. I've closed the thread as this is exactly the discussion that we don't support regarding IMEI's. Then I correctly understand that you do not intend to repair or restore the original IMEI but want to change or edit it.
Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. For this reason, I've closed your thread! XDA doesn't allow and doesn't accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.

NOTE: Previously I warned that changing IMEI is an action that is prohibited in some countries, and it is a crime if it is not your device. USE IT AT OWN RISK!!!
before getting to the point I will explain how I got into trouble like this, at first I bought this pixel 4 under normal conditions, everything worked as it should, until when I realized something in the morning that my signal was lost, the ISP was read but could not be used to receive and send SMS as well as make calls, strangely when I changed to The other ISP is still working.
then I searched for info on the internet and I assumed that my Pixel 4 was imei blocked by one of the ISPs, not all of them. I have tried many ways to solve this problem but the results have never worked, until I found an idea what if I replaced my IMEI with the IMEI of my old device that was not blocked, and it worked.
First Remove sim card, download all the tools needed then follow my guide step by step if you want to succeed, let's go
{Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke}
I have tried this method and it works without any problems, you need to remember that IMEI will be blocked again if you do a factory reset.
If you don't understand or have something to add to this method, feel free to ask, I'd be very happy if I could help, let's discuss
I've always found these Qualcomm IMEI fixes to be really hard to stabilize, but thank you very much for posting this. I haven't ever tried QCN method before, so this should be interesting!

just try it, but remember to use it at your own risk, I recommend using a tool like the unlocked tool for Samsung, because the processor used by Samsung A13 is an exynos processor, while this method is for Pixel 4 which uses a Snapdragon processor, as long as it uses Snapdragon and can enter diag mode, I think all phones can use this method, but I doubt this method will work if using an exynos processor
qcn editor does not modify the value of imei 1, only imei 2. any suggestions?

Hi, how do I get the correct IMEI for Pixel 4? Do I just need to change 1 or 2 number randomly?

Hello and good afternoon, @Artemis008
It's indeed the case what you've stated in the note at the top of your OP: Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. For this reason, I've closed your thread and removed your instruction! XDA doesn't allow and doesn't accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.
