to all XDA developers (is their a change IMEI software USB)?

[Rabia]

to all XDA developers (is their a change IMEI software USB) if yes where can i find it & if no is it going to be developed any soon? when?

[cruisin-thru]

I doubt the developers will be writing software for that particular use on the xda1, if you have a serial cable it will work on the xda as long as the radio stack is the early versions, it wont work on radio stack 4.21 for instance.

so where can i get the early(<4.20) Radio version coz i wanna use the
manipulator programme with my XDA2 device ?

????????????????

Chanaging IMEI is a way to get RID of those SPIES who pry into our personal info. Violations of our right to privicy....

[cruisin-thru]

Emil, can you expand on that statement please, the imei is the phones identity tag, if you have a prepay sim card your identity is unknown, if you have a post pay contract sim then your details are known and your phone is trackable by the sim details regardless of the imei/phone used.

i want to reset the timer to know how much i talked ,so where can i found that radio version

[cruisin-thru]

As far as I know, xda manipulator is for xda1 only.

No software exists to change IMEI or reset timers on Himalaya/XDA-II. Also no software does it to the Wallaby/XDA over USB, and The Manipulator, the program that does it to the Wallaby via the serial port only works with certain Radio Stack versions.

We have no legal or moral problems with IMEI-changing or timer reset, but it's a lot of hard work to write something which overwrites parts of people's radio software reliably. The last thing we want is 300 people wrecking their phones and blaming us. This issue has sort of scared us away from this type of modification.

(Unlocking is different since it only reads the ROM and then uses the 'official' mechanism of AT-commands in the phone for unlocking.)


No idea whether this topic will be revisited at some point, but don't hold your breath...

Will you tell how it all works, and maybe even create a wiki page on it? We have itsme's and W4XY's works, bu we need many more people to publish the results their trips into the phone ROM and bootloader...

Peter,

Can you tell me how to read or find my IMEI number. I have a phone that was a display model and the lable on the back was removed so I can't get it there and the system identity shows a generic IMEI number (as I've found with all the updated 2003 ones).

Thanks,
David

Try dialing *#06# on the phone. This works on all GSM phones (since it is in the GSM specification to be approved as one).

That still gives the generic IMEI number with an extra "01" at the end. It seems to be a glitch in the 2003 software because the IMEI numbers are available before you upgrade but not after. I thought I was missing something but the other units with the upgrade are giving the same generic number (350314010000009). Does anyone else come up with that IMEI #.(May be T-Mobile only!)

David

[tde]

nope
I upgraded my rom lots of time and never lost my original IMEI number (which is written inside the case, under the battery)

[moto1]

It must be in the "T-Mobile" upgrade that changes the number in the system settings.

no solution till now????!!!!!
