What is the reason?
my htc touch pro IMEI changed after update ROM(official ROM"like as: RUU_Raphael_HTC_ITA_5.05.408.1_R2_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe")
and then my IMEI changed 17 bits--REMOVED--
when i install any software,the system to prompt the follow information:
"the program is from an unknown publisher.you should install it only if you trust its publisher.do you want to continue?"
I think this is just occasional,so i update ROM again and again.
but the IMEI is "--REMOVED--" all the same!
You probably don't want to post you imei online (maybe that's a fake #; if that's the case, you should say so).
Your IMEI didnt change =/
Maybe for some reason the soft way to see your IMEI is corrupted, but look under your battery, that IMEI is still the same, and that's what matters because if you warranty your phone for some reason IMEI is how they track it. IMEI is basically a serial number for the provider.
^ not true. It is possible to change your IMEI number with certain software. When a call is made the IMEI # is recorded in the provider's billing software. With Rogers for example, this is the case, albeit few reps know how to find this and fewer still care what your IMEI is or isn't.
Not saying whether the OP's IMEI did/didn't change, but the sticker under the battery only shows the IMEI when the phone shipped.
Just like a sticker on the back of a computer may say "windows xp" while its OS is actually "vista"
When you upgrade to a new version (Core) it will add one number to your IMEI only in form. It is still electronically recognized as the same IMEI, so don't worry. what you will find is that the number is the same, but has now an additional digit or 2 in it. This is just like a revision number & will not affect your services at all. This happened when we old Tilt users went from 6.0 to 6.1 & will likely happen again going 6.1 to 6.5 official.
Do you get your IMIE by dialing *#06# ?
yes mate
Imei changed
Hi,
i work for a mobile provider an I changed yesterday my ROM and today I got an Security check on my work and my IMEI changed also, and that was a little problem. Because they have to check my IMEI number, to look that I have the right mobile with me. The problem is, that Security had only the last 4 numbers, but I found out the new added two digit numbers
Cheers
Hmmm...That's what I said above. It is the ROM/Revision number & it gets added to the IMEI. For anything truly querying the IMEI, it is fine. But it seems your setup is querrying the Registry version of the IMEI.
Anytime you upgrade roms, Usually OEM roms, this happens. It started with the first touch & the Kaiser.

If you ran a ROM that had been XIP'd for any reason (such as to make some software that looks to see the OS version to run), this will modify how windows see's the IMEI, however the radio will read it for what it actually is.
This is interesting... when I warranty return my phones to ATT, they ask me to do the *#06# and have me read off the IMEI... Could they tell if I've changed roms via the numbers I read off?
Could it possibly be a secret way to bust us all?

No, no suits, black helicopters and vans unless you start cloning, there are your previous IMEI's on ATT system, they want to validate the problem handset as you have the ability to remove your sim and call them from a working handset, your account is bound to the sim, then there is always the accounts with multiple active sims, they just need the right one for the RMA.

i have buy a new Softbank X01HT recently. When i press *#06# , X01HT output the IMEI it is not equal to the phone body's sticker. What is the shop comment? They say that it is because of the upgrade to Hard-SPL 2.10 and unlock the phone. The 2.10 version will change the phone's original IEMI. Is it true ? Anybody can tell me the truth ?
The IMEI is NOT changed by flashing HardSPL or a new Radio or even WM6.
What other things have you flashed onto the device?
EDIT:: Also where did you buy the device from??
I had already flashed the radio rom to 1.41.00.10 ..
When i get my X01HT buy from shop, the IMEI no. and the sticker's IMEI no. is not equal ..
Well the shop has sold you a dodgy device, most likely returned by somebody else.
If there is a way to prove it to them that HardSPL doesnt change the IMEI then I would use that.
Is the IMEI totally different?
yup, when i press *#06# my Hermes is return
353151010095713xx"
And the Hermes's body stricker is
353151010438087

then the motherboard has been replaced into a separate case.
In fact, it's not replaced. Because my friend has 2 machines with the same imei as listed above. I guess they clone the rom, or IMEI change it.
Imei Problem
We think you are X01HT already
change motherboard with another case,
because very difficult to change imei except if have software about it.

It is legally impossible for two phone in the same world to have the same IMEI...
Go to Settings/System/Device Information/Identity - do you see the same number?

IMEI is aggregated in both cases from the radio; if this is true, HTC screwed up on a batch of phones when programming them.
Don't believe its HTC
I don't think this is HTC fault it should be a changed board or IMEI. Although it is illegal to change it everybody knows it is not impossible (I don't know if its possible to change the imei of hermes but for wizard it was.)
is not HTC; there's a company in asia selling unlocked X01HT with same IMEI because they unlock them by flashing the qualcomm directly (take chip out, use programmer to flash it, and put chip again).
you guys know wow?this is stange for me also.i think the radio upgrades changes the imei number.not exactly the whole number,but it adds two digits at the end of the number my hermes has 17 digit imei on the back and it gives 19 digit imei when i check it with the code(*#06#).i cant exactly say how many times i upgraded the radio rom but I THINK the two digit that adds up, represnt the count that you have upgraded the radio.
any suggestions?
disruptorx is right....when looking at *#06#, its the same but it has an extra 04 at the end. i dunno what the 04 is and why its there.
i know for a fact that my cingular 8525 hasnt been tampered with. the void sticker is still there.
The IMEI number is the first 16 digits of the code displayed when you type *#06#
The number does indeed change when you upgrade the radio, the 15th and 16th digits are supposedly to represent the software version on the device (according to wikipedia). But the rest is possibly something that the radio does, unknown to me

pof is right ! I'm Chinese hermes user. You know there is no hermes sell in China except HK and Taiwan. My hermes is X01HT, unlocked first time boot without extrom install. There're lots of people using X01ht but installed extrom when it first bootup and htcboot has beed updated to htc182, Thencan not sim-lock after. so they send to some company which can take some chip out and flash it to htcboot 107, they call it Hard-Unlock.but I don't know which chip they take out and flash, DOC flashchip or qualcomm ?
IMEISV
I recently found out that this 17 digit IMEI is called IMEISV SV stands for Software Virsion!
I have the same experience to buy X01HT in HK. They gave me a new phone and I checked the IMEI doesn't match with the phone's label. They said it is normal because of the recent cracking. They brought me another X01HT and the IMEI is same as the first one. They said the whole batch of phone they are selling recently has the same IMEI#.
I bought the phone anyway and can update HardSPL v7 and radio rom to 1.43 w/o any problem.
My X01HT was freez and no response.I repaired back to my hand,changed IMEI report.
My X01HT
My recent bought X01HT didn't have the same IEMI no. as well.
Yesterday, I did uprom to PDAViet Transfomer 1.0. I have used this rom for about 1 hours, then I did down to PDAViet 4.0.0.5b-cross, HR 2 times, imediately. then used 2 hours, HR 1 more time and changed my Radio to 2.69.21 After that I found that my IMEI changed, from xxxx xxxx xxxx xxx 00 to xxxx xxxx xxxx xxx 01
Did anyone get this problem????
No panic. The IMEI didn't change.
What you see is IMEISV, an extended IMEI with software version number. It has 17 decimal digits(14 digits plus 1 check digit plus 2 SVN digit). 14 most significant digits of the IMEISV without the SVN is the originial IMEI. The last 2 digit identifying the revision of the software installed on the phone.
For example, the IMEISV code 35703600-CCCCC-D-EE
35703600 identifies that it is HTC prophet model
CCCCC is the serial sequence of the model, uniquely identifying a unit of this model
D the Luhn check digit of the previous 14 digit IMEI
EE the 'software version number'
The SVN allows the manufacturer to identify different software versions of a given type approved mobile. The SVN is a separate field from the IMEI, although it is associated with the IMEI, and when the network requests the IMEI from the mobile, the SVN (if present) is also sent towards the network.
The biggest SVN I've seen for the prophet is 07. Has anyone got a bigger one?
whoa... u learn something new everyday....
cheers yujian5
can i use some tools to change this IMEI？
i find it too.

After dialing *#06#, I get a number which is quite different from the number on the back of the phone. So seems it has changed after so many upgrades...
This phone worked well,after upgrades, in Germany and India but it does not seem to work in UK. I have tried Orange and Virgin operators but not able to make any calls.
Can someone suggest if I need to change IMEI. I tried updating radio rom to 2.69.xx.xx..but that didnt help.

I have both an SGS2 and a GT10.1 and the IMEI SV numbers are different, does it notify the network that one is Tablet only (no voice) or is it something else?
Thanks in advance.
I think it's kind of a ID. Like cars have. Cops can use the number to see if the phone hast been stolen and stuff like that
Sent from my MT15i using XDA Premium App
Each phone is manufacture with a unique IMEI number. It its used to identify that phone when it registers on a network. It can be used by the police to associated the device with a phone account, for example.
I think, however, that there ways to spoof that number on devices
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Guys
That's the IMEI number. I asked about the IMEI SV number.

I read somewhere that it is just a software version. I have a Galaxy Note II (AT&T) and my IMEISV shows 03. Some people have said that it is a glitch from Samsung signifying that you have made unauthorized changes (ROM Mods) when you have not. One post said it had to do with his sd card containing something that is triggering this change. He said that he took out his sd card and the modified went away. I took out my sd card and it still shows modified. I then took out both the sim and sd card rebooted and it still said modified.
My phone is rooted. I did that just after I received it. When I got the phone (before rooting) the IMEISV showed 01, but just after I got the phone, my phone did a lot of updates from Samsung and AT&T. It may have changed then. I wish I had remembered to check it then we would know for sure. It stands at 03 now after rooting.
Bottom line, I am inclined to believe it is just a software version because the update upgraded me from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. Maybe so of the more tech savy dudes can set us straight.
Regards to all
The version of the software that was used to 'write' the IMEI to the device.
I have been told your software can be checked by phoning *#1234#

Dumb question, I've no signal locked a phone and the imei sv on the boot loader says 02, any ROM , custom or not reads it as 01. I'm guessing that this is what's preventing my sim from registering the network. I don't want a way or how to do it. Just a confirmation in along the right lines of thinking,
Because no shop, no one on XDA knows wtf is wrong lol. That's the only difference I noticed and this post would really make sense, ALL methods used to flash the modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin would cause an SV 01. Which is the open source fastboot supplied to us, not the official engineering one from the factory.

On my working Lenovo P2 the bootloader says 02, but 01 is what's being displayed in the stock ROM. I can call, text and use the mobile internet. Has to be something else.
(I have another P2 which is broken and I'm trying to fix the signal)
It is the difference of number between IMEI 1 and IMEI 2
Hello.
I've tried to restore my original IMEI, since mine is set to 004999010640000, which is a fake. I've used repair application on Android Market and tried to fix it manually, but with no effect. It is still the same IMEI, regardless, what I do. I may be doing something wrong, but I am not sure. I run on ICS 4.0.1 and it is an original ROM. Rooted. Could you possibly help me with this case? I have an Internet connection and I can make calls, but IMEI is still fake. I also have power menu and lock screen working, so it is just matter of corrupted IMEI number, in my humble opinion.
I hope you help me.
I just saw a post about someone getting the error "Please enter a valid IMEI number." when submitting phones to OnePlus for bootloader unlock for N200s.
Is it possible they bought used phones with changed IMEIs? I am trying to learn if that's possible, or not.

i know back in the day changing imei number was a thing. but nowndays you changing imei on newer phone will cause a very very hard brick. plus it's illegal to change imei numbers on phones.
imei nembers for phones is just like your VIN on your car. each phone has its own imei number.
no phones has the same imei numbers.
so if you change it
it will brick
