Probably no one will tell you here because, as I understand it, changing the IMEI is illegal.

If the phone works, why change it. If the IMEI is blocked then the phone is probably stolen... Just return it and buy your own.

I known it's illegal, but I find out when I update my radio to 1.41.00.10 from 1.27, my IMEI number have be modified, I don't known why, so, I will modify the numbers to old numbers, because I have a lot of software are registered by old IMEI number.

Most software registration codes are tied to the "Name" under Settings... Owner Information... Identification... or possibly the "Device ID" under Settings.. System... About... -- not to the IMEI.

I'd check these first before you cause yourself too much heartburn...

I'm betting this guy flashed one of the weird WM6 builds that changed the device id's on a few phones. We saw a lot of problems with TomTom, SlingPlayer, and some other apps because of this.

If the user above flashes back to WM5, or to the absolute latest WM6 builds, it will go back to the 'old' hardware id.

But yeah; I've never seen any software tied to the IMEI. Sometimes I wish it was (I'd be happy if it would tie to the IMSI, personally)...
