Hi,
I looking to buy a S3 I9300 pebble blue BOX (only).
I found in Aliexpress 2-3 sellers who sells those stuff, but they just give randomly any blue box WITHOUTprinting customers IMEI number.
Is anyone knows a site that sells the box (the same design as the original) of the I9300-international ver. , that print on the stickers the requested IMEI number?
Thank you for your kind help!

hhhhmmmm I'm finding it hard to think of a legitimate reason as to why you would want this.......
Just for selling.
I have almost a brand new condition...so sell it with a box should only make it better.
D.....o....d...g...y.....g....e...e...z...e...r
In addition, the bar coded imei sticker is a legal document effectively, so unless you find another dodgy geezer who is willing to fake one, then you are out of luck
I understand...
By the way - what do you mena in "dodgy geezer" ? (from Babylon="can be used to describe a man of bad character").
Thay i need to find a person that willing to do this illegal things?

That's a pretty accurate description indeed......more a reference to the nature of the question rather than a smear on one's good self
Sorry, but i never tought that is a bad thing to do

ok i bought a samsung galaxy s2 from gumtree(online advertisments) phoned up met the guy at his work(so called) payed 300 cash anyway 6 weeks later i cant make calls or send texts only use web. i phoned up my network they said imei is black listed. i seen him take a three network sim out so i phoned them they said the phone belongs to three but and its not registerd to anyone so they might beable to unblock for me anyway no luck they said the person was on an 02 contract with this phone so phone them i phoned o2 they said no were not unblocking it plane and simple.
so what options do i have?? i have the guys number but it goes strate to answer message is ther away round this problem. or am i pretty much fcked
if anyone can help or advice me a solution would be really gratefull i have made
Its blocked any method of unblocking IMEI is up to the contract holder /network .
You are in effect at the mercy of the seller who looks to have defaulted on his phone contract and sold the phone to you .The network has blocked the IMEI until the balance of the contract is paid off .
Any methods of faking an IMEI would be illegal and this board does not deal in illegal stuff .
You can use the phone as is no phone no internet or sell it for spares .

I think you may have to report him to the police as he carrying out insurance fraud. Basically that's what he has done.

I agree, but it would be your word against his, unless you have some type of paperwork, like a receipt.....
If you don't have a receipt, then the only leverage you have is the guys phone number, so phone records should show that you guys were in contact.....
Scumtree is full of scammers, and although I bought mine of there I made sure it I bought one that was sim free or PayNgo. Luckily an old mate advertised his that was bought on O2 PaynGo for £450, and although he advertised it at £350 I managed to bag it for £280
Scumtree is owned by Ebay BTW.
hi all , been looking at replacing the housin on my streak, only problem is the ones on ebay are all from hong kong usually stuff from there aint as good quality, has anyone here ever had one will it be worth buying?
The streak's manufactured in china, so anything outside that is either itself fake or imported and resold.
Weither or not it's real depends on who's selling, if it's a reputable seller and the description is right is all that matters.
If it's listed as a genuine one and it isnt, ask for a refund/complain to ebay that it's not properly listed.

Not really.
Only the "ordinary" checks:
1. Sealed box.
2. Look for "signs" of usage (scratches on the display or cover, etc.).
3. Check the serial number on Samsung's Product Registration web site to verify, if the product is already registered by someone else.
That's something you should be making Samsung aware of. They can probably do something about it. Or being a big multinational company at the very least they can make representations to whomever they have to in your country (consumer affairs or similar).
Ok so I myself updated to the new jellybean tonight over kies by entering my s/n number on the back of the phone and updating firmware to 4.1.2. My friend went to do the same thing only his doesn't have an S/N number. Just an imei number like WTH? We also noticed his was made in china while mine was made in Korea. His is phone is white and mine is black (no it's not racial) just wondering if that's got something to do with it. So he tried typing in the imei number and no go. He tried looking in phone settings and the s/n number there is significantly smaller than mine and kies didn't accept it.
Does anyone else have this problem?
My sticker under the battery matches settings/about phone/status/sn. Just make sure he isn't mixing up zeros with O's. Good luck.
Edit: Mine is 11 digits

Stock rom will show serial number under settings/about phone or further under phone status. Never found the phone serial under cm10, or other custom roms.
I too have just a model # and imei which kies refused. Odin to stock or a stock touchwiz based rom and you'll find it.
Unless you have the box the phone came with, that's my solution.
You can also download the update from Sammobile or this link http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/AT&T+Note+1/Stock+Jelly+Bean/ and install using Odin.

Thank you all for your suggestions, I know I can install it another way its just Why is there a Made in China sticker instead of Made in Korea? What did I pay 300 for a knock-off from ATT? What isnt there a S/N on the sticker where there should be one? This is the reason of this post to see if anyone else has the same issues with there Notes, are they really Samsung Made in Korea or a Knock off Made in China? Thanks for your opinions...
-AkWingnut
Samsung is Korean. You got a clone.
The model number is india seven one seven

did you get a new or a refurb? my refurb (I warrantied mine due to issues) doesn't have the original samsung sticker which irritates me to an extent. Mine does say made in Korea though. no S/N on mine though.

+1 here
Made in Korea although remanufactured, without the s/n on it
Edit: Black with blue battery cover here.
I have a referb, and an original in front of me. Both have identical stickers under the battery. The referb has an additional sticker on it saying ATC. They both are black, made in korea, and have s/n numbers. So that rules the refurb idea out. Do you guys with missing s/n's have white phones by any chance? I'm wondering if the white version was made in china and the black version made in korea. Not trying to be racial, just curious cause wingnuts with the missing s/n is white and made in china and mine with the s/n is black and made in korea.

it could also be different referb shops too. To think Sammy only contracts to one in Korea seems a tad naive. but that's a valid question about white vs black. mine is black and from Korea. also no ATC sticker on mine

TJ you suck!!!! HAHA
Hi,
I did a job for a Singaporean guy. As payment he gave me a Samsung i9300. The device was brand new, original packed, factory seal. The guy is dealing in mobile phones as far as I know and it was a good deal so I thought its alright.
The only problem we had was that the device showed device modified. We tried to look up the IMEI on imei.info and it says it is a Nokia 1600. Now after having a closer look at the packing I saw that there is a sticker over the sticker with the original IMEI. As it was still possible to figure out the old IMEI we looked it up on imei.info and it shows the right model & specs. The device is as well not reported stolen.
If I look up the both numbers on numberingplans there are no records for both numbers.
Everything looks alright. Even the sticker in the phone is showing the actual IMEI. Its not a fake phone too. The quality is to good. Its working too.
Anybody heard of something before?
How sure it is that the the info on imei.info is correct?
Could a imei get faked?
If the imei is fake, what to do with it? is it safe to use it? Virus ...? I am a totally newbie. Sorry.
Thanks for your advice. I am not really into this.
IMEI can get faked even though it is illegal to do so.
Fake IMEI may not connect to a network.
Fake IMEI can be due to a stolen blacklisted phone .
The phone is not a genuine product you should return it .
It is connecting to the network. This is not really the problem.
My problem is more that the guy is back in Singapore.
Ok, at the end of the day this means I should not use it and I definitely should not sell it too.
What a piece of junk
