Change IMEI on the phone

[Carder]

What is IMEI and why is it needed.​

IMEI is a digital combination unique to each mobile device.

With it, you can track and lock your phone or tablet. The purpose of such identification is to protect the consumer's equipment from possible theft. Such a security tool will help to track and find the stolen device in the shortest possible time.

IMEI applies in the following situations:​

If attackers have stolen your smartphone, you can remotely block access to it.

To do this, you will need to immediately call your carrier and provide information about the loss, indicating the individual device number. The specialists will block the phone within the coverage of their network and enter it into the database, as well as inform other mobile service providers about the implementation of these actions.

The set of such numbers says a lot.

This code designation contains: model (first eight digits), origin and brand of the device, manufacturer (next six digits)

IMEI can be used to track the location of the smartphone

But this requires subscribing to the appropriate service. In this case, the user can monitor from another SIM card.

Imei check​

Before configuring IMEI, you need to find out the currently set number.

This is quite simple to accomplish:

For all devices with the Android operating system, you need to dial the command * # 06 # and press the call button.

After completing these actions, a window will instantly pop up, in which the current number will be indicated.

You can also go to the settings section on your smartphone and at the very end of the list open the "About the application" tab. A window with detailed information about the device will open, in which you can see the IMEI number.

ID change​

There are several methods for recovering and changing the identification number:

Using the engineering menu.

This menu is available on all Android mobile devices. Data is stored here in non-volatile memory NVRAM;

Using third-party programs and applications. For such purposes, special software has been developed to write new numbers.

Through the engineering menu​

The engineering menu is a hidden function of the smartphone and is intended for testing and settings.

You can start working through the engineering menu using special USSD commands. The key combination is entered on the standard dial pad and is different for each manufacturer. On various Internet resources, you can find out the combination for a specific brand of phone.

For example: HTC devices correspond to the combination: * # * # 8255 # * # *; Samsung Galaxy: * # * # 4636 # * # *; ZTE and Meizu: * 983 * 07 #; tablet with an Nvidia processor (Xiaomi): * # * # 6484 # * # *; Huawei: * # * # 2846589 # * # *, * # * # 3646633 # * # *.

As soon as the command is entered, the corresponding menu will open. It is very easy to get lost in it. Therefore, further focus on the following algorithm:

In the main window, open the Connectivity panel. Click on "CDS information", then "Radio Information". Select the line "Phone 1". A new window will open, in which the first item will be marked with the currently valid IMEI. You must enter the following in the command field: AT + EGMR = 1.7, "the desired digital identifier".

Execute the command by clicking on the "Send at command" button.

Attention! The path to the desired settings may vary on different smartphone models.

In order for the changes to take effect, you will need to reboot your mobile device. After rebooting, check the installed IMEI by entering the key combination * # 06 # on the keyboard.

Change using apps​

Another way to replace the identifier is to use specialized programs. But to use them, you need the status and superuser rights in the phone. To activate this type of rights, you need to install the Farmarootpro5.1 application on your smartphone.

Again, different brands of phones get Root rights differently.

We will describe a general instruction that is not suitable for everyone:

1. Install and run Farmaroot (there is no program on Google Play, so you need to search for it on the net). In the main menu, tap on "InstallSuperSU". We indicate the method of rutting (choose from the available ones).
2. Then restart the gadget. Now that you have special rights, install one of these programs: Mobileuncle or Xposed IMEI Changer.
3. The procedure for working with the Mobileuncle application is as follows: Install and run the Xposed framework application. Open the Engineering Mode section and select the Engineering menu.
4. Further, as in the previous method, go to the "Connectivity" tab - "CDS information". We register a new digital value of the identifier -AT + EGMR = 1.7, "new value" and reboot the system.
5. Check if the new imei is installed by typing the appropriate key combination. This program is designed to work with MTK series processors.
6. After successfully completed actions, it is recommended to reset Root rights and uninstall the Farmaroot application for the terminal to work correctly. Algorithm for working with the XPOSED IMEI Changer utility: Get superuser rights, as in the previous method. Run the utility and open the Modules menu. Check the IMEI Changer option and reboot your mobile device.
7. Then open the id change app. In the "New IMEI No" item, enter the new value of the personal code and confirm the actions performed.
8. Restart your gadget and check the result. In case of failure and entering an incorrect value, try again, but setting a different digital value for the serial number. This method is ideal for terminals with a Snapdragon processor (Samsung) from Qualcomm.
9. New numerical data can be picked up using a special generator. Such applications are in the public domain. There are also online versions in which you can use the generator, instantly picking up a new combination.

Attention! IMEI replacement procedures make serious changes to the device's properties, so it is not recommended to perform such actions with warranty phones. And changing or deleting the ID from the phone without the owner's knowledge is a criminal offense.
