Hello everyone, I recently bought RN10 PRO (Indian version) and I've noticed that the Serial Number in the settings and when dialing *#06# is different from the box, however the two IMEI numbers are identical on both the device and the box
I ran CIT (dialed *#*#6484#*#*) and the Serial Number there was identical to the one on the box.
Should I be concerned or return the device? or is it something common and normal?
thank you for your time.
It's not uncommon for the software to be misreporting the serial number sometimes. Xiaomi has some bugs, but as long as it's not breaking, it's fine. My phone doesn't report the correct serial number either after update, and I know it's a genuine device since I bought it sealed and in person at an official Xiaomi store. The important thing is the IMEI, as the IMEI is unique to each network device. Though the IMEI can be spoofed, each IMEI is registered to a specific device, so if you ran a check on a spoofed IMEI, it will return a different device as a result.
Here's what you can do to check for authenticity. Visit this website and enter the IMEI (first one, then the other): https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei
Both IMEIs should show your correct phone model.

Hi everyone. So I recently got my Korean SKT GS3 stolen while at a wedding in India. I have friends here who know a person or two in the police, and is in a position to help me out and get my phone back for me. However, in order to do that I need the IMEI number. I didn't write down my IMEI number before I had it stolen, but I DO have the box that the phone came with. There are a lot of different numbers on the box, and I'm not sure which one the IMEI number is. I assumed it was 15 digit number on the box, but when I checked it with www.imei.info, it gave a completely different phone. There's another 15 character thing on the box, but I think that's the serial number because it starts with 12 SSBO 4G *******.
Can anyone confirm which number is the IMEI number? And by chance.. would anyone know if it's possible to track this Korean phone when it's in India?
Thanks in advance!
recently aquired a xt1053 (t mobile) under settings/about phone/status under imei it says 0, under back battery cover at bottom the sticker is not there and in the sims tray no imei,complete disassembly and found no imei, this device seems to be new , still has the factory plastic film on touch screen, i found utility called( MTK droid root & tools) thats restores imei number listed as 0 but i must have the imei number to complete process, MTK recognizes the device but also shows imei as 0, is there a file in device that stores imei number, is there a way to recover it ? is it possible this device was never given an imei number? this device came from a lot which all seemed new and nun had the battery covery and i assume now all devices must not have had imei numbers, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds pretty shady to me. Return it while you can. If you can.
Tampering with imei numbers is widely illegal and not a topic for XDA. If you lost it, that's one thing... If you had a backup, great. But if you don't have one, creating one or "obtaining" a number somehow is illegal.
Again, return it. They are probably stolen. Or clones or something illegal. ?

I just purchased a used H811 Tmobile LG G4. Popped in a Tmobile SIM and it's working fine.
However, to my great surprise, the IMEI number displayed from Settings or by dialing *#06# does not match the one printed on the label behind the battery.
Tmobile rep actually said that this might be due to CDMA support on G4, which requires a different IMEI.
I am not so sure this makes sense.
Does anyone's IMEI number not match like mine?
Thanks in advance.
Can't check right now but I believe the one in software is the one that cell companies see and block if needed. The printed one is for hardware repairs and such. Though they should be the same number. I'll check later and report back.
Phone was blacklisted and someone changed imei so it would work. Both numbers should match unless the phone has been tampered with. Sorry
Hello, i'm in trouble with an S5 g900a. The typical "phone not allowed mm#6" appeared one day, after almost 1 year I'd purchased it. By the way, i bought it unlocked, in a store located in Paraguay.
I've read many posts about this message that appeared, i went to my service provider (Claro Argentina) to ask for imei blacklisted, but they said it is clean. But there is something more i've found now, the imei that appears when i dial *#06# (this is the one my provider checked) is the same that is written by the label of the box, BUT... when i try to see my phone's imei through different software such as SamMobile app or EFS Professional with Qualcomm NV Tools, the imei informed is a different one (that belongs to a g900f model) and, what is more, this imei results to be blacklisted since the same day my phone became out of service.
- Why is my phone giving this 2 different imeis?
- How can i recover the original one?
Hope you can understant my English and give me any help or information on how to solve this.
Thanks in advance,
Maxi.
