Hey everyone.
I'm new to this site and new to posting anything about Androids. I just got into the Android last year.
Please forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong forum.
I have an LG G2 D803 (Rogers Canada). I inherited this at a local auction along with some household junk that I don't need. I tried putting in my SIM card but the IMEI is blacklisted..
The past few days I've been searching the net to figure out how I can fix this but so far no luck. I did find a method that will apparently allow me to write a new IMEI to it which I'm sure many of you are familiar with (QPST, RF NV Item Manager), but I think that's not working for me because that method only works if my phone has no IMEI at all.
My question is: How can i DELETE the IMEI on my phone, and/or make it null/zeros or whatever, so I can write a new IMEI to it? Or, how can I change it altogether? The phone is rooted. I want to use the IMEI of one of my old phones (a Samsung Galaxy S) onto this LG so I can use it. It seems like a great upgrade from my old phone.
Thanks!

Posted in wrong section but changing the IMEI is illegal in many places, phone maybe stolen or insurance job, would sell for parts
Re : LG G2 Blacklisted IMEI
Bad place . Move to the *G2 .
*dział Sorry i am Polish translate *dział from polish and you will know what it mean
Good luck!

Not a good way to start on this site. IMEI tampering and modification is illegal. Please do not discuss this type of activity here.

Sorry nobody is helping you. I really can't help either. I think I saw a post about an app in app store that lets you change carriers, but I have no idea where I saw the post and can't remember the apps name.

Search for SGS secret codes in the Market, it let me go to DIAG menu. The tab is not recognized by any program though... Does anybody have any exp on that? Would be very appreciated.
PS Does anyone know if it's possible to have 3G internet on this tablet through RUIM CDMA sim or GSM sim? Thanks.
*update+question*
Earlier I had experience of flashing I800 Verizon's Galaxy Tab to other carrier, but this time situation seems to be worse. This LTE tab when connected to PC doesn't find all the drivers needed. This happens after it's setup for carrier flashing in DIAG mode - both UART and MODEM are set to modem. There is always one out of three drivers that's not found in device manager. Nothing can be done by any program - all of them connect successfully to the port, but are unable to make further progress (no communication with device).
Gurus and everyone, please! Does anybody have any suggestions of what could be possibly done? SIM-card slot as I understand is designed for LTE sim-cards and at the same time is locked to Verizon, that's pity.

Can you please dedicate some time and describe exactly step by step what you did, what operating system did you use, the drivers that you installed, and how you were able to work with tablet? Thanx.
Edit: Well I kinda misread it, Damn the late night reading.
I do know of Market Unlocker to enable fake carrier's but for market only. Not entirely sure about the whole ACTUAL carrier change, You may need to however do some hex editing to the carrier locked devices, Back in the 9003 forums there were users who complained on Starhub blocking their device from using other carrier sim's and they found a way to hex edit the nv_data.bin

Apparently that thread quotes that changing a value from 01 to 00 should unlock it.

That's the model number in the about phone screen? What about on the label under the battery?
EDIT: I see, after a quick google search, it is yet another variant. Most common in Japan, where you are. I was unable to find out what SoC/chipset this phone uses, so do NOT use just any Galaxy S2 root method randomly. Especially don't use any from this forum for the I9100. Chances are very good that will brick your phone. Sorry I don't have any better answers for you.
Here is the chip set on it I got from quadrant score....sooooo out looks like we can't do anything with this phone begging to be unleashed?....the info is in the pic below

You could try zergRush. It reportedly doesn't work on 2.3.6 or higher, but you could try it.
Is that supported for Mac though?

I don't know. I've never used it. Look it up.
rooted.
I have had this phone for about a month. Just to say that I rooted it the day i got it.
I just used an old microSD card and rooted from this link. (The link to the .zp file is gone, but i found another way - see second link. Should also work fine)

Anyway, its great because I managed to get rid of a lot of AU bloatware. Now trying to figure out how to replace the horrible AU mail programs (SMS/MMS - they both suck so badly) with GO SMS PRO. No idea what the MMS settings for KDDI are though. SMS works fine through GO SMS PRO.
What I would ultimately like to do is to flash this with a better optimized rom. i feel there is so much potential for this phone, but AU (like most other carriers) has filled it with junk....
sooooo...if google translate is correct ( when is ever) I'm suppose to download the recovery.zip to sd card...install it...reboot...then install the root.zip from sd card and reboot and that should give me root for this phone?? any chance of me bricking it????
screw it ill give it a try...lol....balls to the ways...by the way i'm looking into the APN/MMS settings for KDDI...you know your AU address...
THis worked outstanding...except it wouldn't read the sd card when i tried the root.zip install....but all i did was used file manager...copied it to the internal sd...reboot into recovery and installed the root.zip....i shall make a new thread with this information from you....i know there are more of the SGS2 Wimax users....let the root madness begin...
EDIT: I put together a small guide on How To Root SG2 Wimax here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576000 ...let me know if you guys have any questions and I'll try to answer them the best I can....
Hello All, some time ago I'm walking with a problem bothering me now and taking my sleep because the IMEI of my cell phone was the generic because some months ago I decided to delete the efs folder and let the phone itself regenerate this folder ..
But as I was a beginner yet this season, I knew I had to be backed up, well, with all that time I was using this IMEI generic without worry because the network was normal, and a week ago I started have problems, not taking over the network.
So I started searching around on the internet in xda forum and found some useful topics, but nothing helped me, I search on my phone and found a folder efs lost on the memory card, I decided to put it in place of which was with the IMEI and generic BINGO, the IMEI again the original bad no network yet :/
I was wondering if I could be in error code CSC because I'm using the stock rom 4.1.2 complete with modem and everything, that test version remember?
detail: i'm brazilian.
if anyone can help me .. with the generic IMEI phone is working, and the ORIGINAL it does not work .. the phone is not locked and the IMEI is not blacklisted .. I thank those who read

Hello,
This is my first post, after going through several sites I hope I am at the right forum to ask this question. Thanks for such wonderful forum.
Here is what I am looking for.
I have a Chinese unbranded Android Mobile which comes with Android 4.0.4. But there are several issues with this device. Apps are crashing every now and then. Also if there is a call that I can not answer (goes to Missed call list) thereafter my contact crashes. I have to clear all the contact storage and then even can open the dial pad. Tried to factory reset with no luck.
I want to reinstall the firmware completely. I was looking for ways to do so, mostly I came across posts which talks about firmware release for branded phones. This is not branded and I have searched net, found nothing that talks about such phone. The About Phone shows Model no UC-W7L.
Can you please help me how can I completely reinstall android 4.0.4 on this device?
Thanking you for reading.
Regards,
Raman.

Thanks for replying. The problem is that it is not a Chinese phone that has been purchased in India, rather it was bought in China. Not being able to find any details about this phone. Is there any other options?
Just wanted to know if I can find a phone of same model, is there any option / way to flash the rom using the new phone?
Thanks.
can you post screenshot of about phone

I have never had to restore my imei without a backup...so I strongly encourage you to do a full xda search of lost imei. I did and found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-recover-imei-9-steps-t1264021 I belive this might be all you need. I also Google searched how and I believe all Samsung devices use the nv_data.bin in case you were wondering if the thread on the SII was applicable.
