Device: Samsung A10e
Chipset: Exynos 7884
Hi, I was trying to Change my phone's IMEI, but my phone doesnt allow me to unlock bootloader and so I thought nothing can be done about it, because I tried everything from restarting the phone into Recovery mode to Changing the date and time trick... But nothing works...
Today I came across Virtual Xposed and thought this might be a good way to use a different IMEI for my use, but it does not change system settings(which I expected), I also noticed that the IMEI is already changed in this VirtualXposed app env and so I thought i should install some type of dialer and try it out, but I cant seem to find and install any dialer for this purpose, I tried installing a Phone app from somewhere but it doesnt work.
I would appreciate any help to:
Install some Phone app compatible with Virtualapp or VirtualXposed.
Or even an IMEI changer that can work without root on this chipset
or a method to unlock bootloader

Hello everyone.
I installed CWM 5.0.2.6 and then Cyanogen mod 9 succesfully. Then I changed it to "MIUI TOCAi 0.1.4" and it was working fine although it could not find my network. I tried searching manually but without success (it kept on showing up that it's not able to register to the network im choosing and that i should try again later.) It had simlock before so I tryed to unlock it using this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204705". I got the code etc but I didnt know where to type it in. I turned the phone off and on hoping that the menu with this code request would pop out but it didnt so I replaced the sim card with another one. It still didnt pop out so I replaced it with the previous one and the phone bricked.
Im not able to get to CWM or to the system at all. Im only able to get to DL mode. I tried to unbrick it using this method "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071970" and few similar ones. I used multi and single package but without success.
The simlock was for "3" network. Tryed O2 and Vodafone simcards.
Is there any way to unbrick it without going to the service?
I'm going to post youtube links to show you how it looks in just a few minutes.

Looks like your efs partition (either stl5 or bml5) got corrupted. This cannot be fixed by flashing roms or stock roms, since its a sepparate partition. Network Unlocking the ace might result in a brick specially if not done from stock firmware.
i bricked my gio after network unlock too, it was due to the efs partition being messed up, i couldnt get it to boot normally or recovery (screen flashes then dies) but download works, and odin didnt solve anything, so i sent it in to samsung and got a new gio
to sum it up, you now have a nice paperweight
Hi there,
I am by no means an expert on any of this, but I've come across an issue what makes my phone unusable even though I have only had it for a month or so.
After getting the phone, a friend of my flashed Slimrom (version 1) for me on my phone. I've flashed myself before, but I had no idea how to get the device rooted for me. That went well untill I got a message of "full storage" last night, even though there was about 60% empty internal memory left. After some moving around I decided to factory reset, and when that didn't work reflash the ROM.
The issue seemed resolved however for some reason my phone no longer recognizes my simcard. My simcard still works (tested it on a different phone) but it never asks for either the pin didgets. If I try to go to to mobile services it just says "error could not find any mobile networks" and even after flashing the newer rom Version 2,5 and now flashing CarbonRom I can't get it to work!
I am left clueless, if anyone could help me out it'd be great as I am really dependant from this phone!
You have a so called developer IMEI now (starting with 004999...). Please check this.
This is the reason why the sim card isn't recognized anymore.
You can change the simcard pin after each restart and it works.
Or use one of my Roms with a workaround (I have this IMEI problem too).

Thank you so much for responding! If I try to retrieve the IMEI by typing in: #*06*, all I get is a blank. I however was able to find it with a sticker inside the phone. I guess there isn't a simple command to getting this changed. I can't even find the simcard pin change in my settings, it's not in the security tab atleast.
I will do anything for a ROM right now just to be able to get my service up and running, but I'd like to fix the phone for the long run. Any idea on how this is best achieved?

Blank ist the other version of a ruined IMEI.
Search here in the forum: there are some threads regarding backup of EFS and restoring IMEI (if you made a backup before).
And one member is offering to repair the IMEI if you can proove that you have the original (the sticker). See his website http://www.cvxcvx.pl/?lang=en
Alternative: try my Pristine XXLSZ v1.9 with the workaround I use all the time without problems. After you can be sure if it is only the IMEI problem or something more difficult with your sim.
I have a trouble with my k3 note (k50-t3s) i tried many rom but still the imei is not permanent and will disappear after restart. I tried alot of tools such SN&IMEI writer, MAUI META, Droid MTK, Chamelephon and Mobile Uncle tools as well also not working even with root access.. And i tried another way which replace the MP0B_001 file with the new one that i have generate, also not working. The rom the i tried before is K50a40_S112_150610_ROW, K50a40_S427_160518_ROW and Lenovo_K3_Note_MTK6752_Android_5.0_20150513_(by_xdafirmware.com) . all able to flash and only imei problem cannot be solved by above method.. Oh ya another way that didnt work as well is engineering mode 3646633 .. i put space before the + and after the + also not able.. and also by replacing nvram folder also not working...But when i using this K50-t3s_USR_ST1532_5.219.1_1508061807_MP6V3_CN rom.. but its china version .. no gapps, no multilang, but the imei is working and wont missiing after restart. why happen actually?
I'm hopeful somebody more experienced with this stuff than I can help me here:
My Galaxy S6 (sm-g920a) was working fine on Android v5.1.1 (lollipop) until a few days back when it suddenly popped up a message saying "not registered on network". After some searching online, I looked at the IMEI # and it showed 350000000000006, which was definitely not the original number. I thought perhaps updating the operating system to v7.0 (nougat) would solve the problem, so I did that but it didn't help. I put in a friend's SIM in case my SIM card was the problem but that didn't help either. On top of that, I'm not sure how but at this point, a Samsung Knox Mobile Enrollment app popped up and said my phone was part of an enterprise and it would not let me move past that unless I enabled wi-fi to download additional software called MDM. I shut off the phone before it could install the MDM app, but now I'm at a point where I think I'm worse off than when I started. ...Is there a way to turn off this Mobile Enrollment app, correct the IMEI and get this phone working again? I can't access most functions of the phone after it's fully booted, except some Settings, because that Knox Mobile Enrollment app seems to disable/lock down all the rest.
Add'l Info:
I had successfully installed flash a Eng Root Boot file to obtain shell root according to instructions in ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...ot-att-samsung-g920a-s6-g925a-s7edge-t3564637 ) but my attempts to install SuperSU manager failed with a message indicating that "smu_protection" prevented making /system writable.
Then I followed other instructions (https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516) despite them being for the Galaxy S7, and installed combination firmware COMBINATION_ATT_FA50_G920AUCU7ARA1.rar, booted up, typed " *#06# " powered down, replaced with stock ROM G920AUCU6EQCF. No luck, and from my reading, that may mean the EFS is also corrupted.
Any help is much appreciated.
Hi there. I have some difficult trouble with my imei. After installing an official rom with odin i got my imei1 changed to another one. Beause of that, there is "only emergency calls" displaying and mobile services aren't working.
Smart switch is useless, cuz my phone was previously used by another person i bought it from. So, Switch asks an emergency repair code from an old PC, but the previous owner doesn't have a clue about that code.
Combination rom can't be installed, ofc.
Other roms i've tried to install don't give any result. There were different official roms with different versions and CSC, a couple of customs, separate parts of roms.
Also I've done all possible wipes in different order and different ways.
Additionally, i've tried to change imei1 to my default imei using Magisk Modules, Xposed Modules and terminal emulator.
Soooo, guys, help me please, can i fix it someway?
*bump*
