hi every one
i bought a sgs2 from ebay last week , but somthing wrong with the phone
i can not mske any call or receive calls , and after along search in the net i think that the imei code is blocked.
that means :
1. the phone is stolen
or
2. The owner of the phone said to the company that his phone is stole in order tom cell the old one and they will give him a new one ...
what can i do ?
You did enter a sim card correct? Have you tried another sim card?
If the phone is stolen, contact the seller on ebay about it first. You should be able to get your money back as long as you return the phone. Otherwise, you just have a expensive paper weight.

NO, absolutely not.
IMEI is unique to one specific phone. It is, in fact, illegal for a consumer to change a device IMEI.
So based on your gross mis-interpretation here, you should really go back and try to re-evaluate the conclusions you came to in post #1, and start with the question "why can you not make or receive calls?"
EDIT to add: Did it occur to you that the phone may be SIM locked to a network that isn't yours?

There are far more than only three possible providers that the phone could be locked to.
What country are you in. I know in Australia there is a website that you can use to see if your IMEI is blocked. Just google imei check.

i know some body that can change the imei but he take too much mony
iknow that what he do is illegal , but he can do that .
Unfortunately asking or receiving help from anybody on this forum about doing illegal activity like changing the imei can get you and the person helping you banned from this site as per forum rules.

XDA is not allowed to be involved in illegal activities for obvious reasons .
Your claim should be against the seller ebay or pay pal .

If the phone is SIM locked to a different network than the SIM currently inserted, it will come up with a prompt for the unlock code when it boots. The symptom of a SIM lock is not that it won't register on a network.
If the phone is indeed SIM locked it can be fixed by following this guide.
It is also possible to change the IMEI although this is much more difficult and may be illegal in some jurisdictions. There is a range of "TEST" IMEI numbers that mobile phone manufacturers use, these are generally safe to use and work on most networks.
Cheers,
Descore

Can someone find an unlock method for Spint S9+?
i will be willing to test on a device either s9 or s9+ sprint i can get to combination and enable the communication to the modem from *#0808# but the communication fails due to not having access tried to read MSL didn't work not supported for this model yet ive been trying to figure out how to communicate through the ril and send AT commands to the phone but haven't made any progress if someone can give any advice on how to proceed would be helpful. I doubt the actual programming method is gonna be released as i cant even find the method to unlock s6 sprint with commands but maybe some dev out there wants to share some information .
I would like to know if there's a way to unlock the Sprint s9+ as well
I've got a s9+ I'm wanting to unlock to use on any carrier! Anyone succeed in the process yet that wouldn't mind guiding me through it

I looked i believe that's only for unlock code phones not sprint i went through the process it says that it would cost $39.99 and i don't think it will actually work because they have everything automated on there site i don't think its working. If someone try's it let me know if im wrong.

Wait, you have to wait on him until middle of june or your not gonna try until middle of june? I feel like he might not have solution and just waiting for the boxes to figure it out. But for sure let us know how it went like if you noticed he flashed eng_root or combination firmware any information will be useful.

Dang that sucks. i found another company they have for $200 https://www.imeigurus.com/s9-s9-plus-sprint-remote-usb-app-unlock
Also i learned why boxes have not come out with solution one of the team members at gcprokey said that sprint is using a RSA encrypted system and no one has solution yet.
So if anyone knows what there doing mabye you know what to look for.
J727P/J327P U3 use same encryption so mabye we can unlock same method with NV items but the problem is we cant get msl code with z3x.

I agree but it should actually be free but all the teams behind the boxes are focus on credit phones because that's were there making money at they don't want to put a lot of work in for a feature they don't make money on. That's why its up to us to figure out the solution

The IMEI is a Digital Serial number and it would be illegal to change it - Even if it was possible ?
Sent from my SM-G965W ??
There is only 2 possible reasons for that to happen with EE and all of the others now days in UK.
1: stolen or lost
If stolen the give it back
If lost and u found it give it back
2: It's on contract and the buyer didn't pay it at least the 1st 6 months of there agreement as for its class as fraud and they will block it.
So if u got it of ebay or something compliant, its your contract and you didn't pay it pay, or if u got it of some one u know get back to him and get your money back.
Hope it helps

Changing Carriers won't help & as I already said - The IMEI is the Digital Serial number and even if you could change (You CANNOT) It would be ILLEGAL.
Find the person who sold you the phone & get your money back.

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but have you got a 5G SIM tarrif? If you don't, maybe the option won't show up. I don't have the 5G device so can't replicate

Yes I have a 5g tarrif definitely. I can't get 5g because I think it's locked to Swisscom. The device was purchased from Switzerland. 4g is unlocked tho so it's strange.

It might be a simple £10 unlock or more complicated. I wouldn't like to think your paying for a tarrif you can't use.

I tried man. I spoke to vodafone first. they had no idea why is was not working. I spoke to oppo and they did not know. I spoke to swisscom who said that the 5g is locked to thier service only. I dont think its a case of unlocking that. When i had android 9, there was no 5g option. There was just a Smart 5G toggle. I have no upgraded to android 10 and i have lost that. I cant even see 5g as on the options.

I bought it (used) from ebay who also provided the receipt showing it was bought from the swisscom store. I actually remember speaking to swisscom on whatsapp and i think they said that the 5G will work providing the frequencies match. As far as i know this phone has the frequency for vodafone 5G service so i am confused why its never worked.
I have given up on this. I just assumed if the phone is 5G and has the correct frequency there should be no issuue if the phone was not purchased in the UK. It is unlocked because i have used o2 and voda on it and it works fine. JUST NOT FOR 5G.

The only thing is don't ask for a "temporary unlock". Because you might only get that (Sprint was famous for this and would give you a 30 day temporary international unlock). I'm very clear and ask for a permanent domestic SIM unlock.
