View Full Version : (Solved) IMEI changed to NILL (nothing) after flashing

I've a weird thing after flashing to the ROM 0.75 Full of bepe.

After some configuring and installing programs and 2 soft resets, the IMEI number was completely gone (Device information -> indentity). I found out because TomTom didn't recognize my map anymore.

It's not the ROM I think, because after flashing again the number is back to the original IMEI.

Have anyone seen this before?


Note: 99% sure that this has been caused by the McAfee Virusscan Enterprise 8.5i, module Access Protection. When I turn the VirusScan off, the IMEI stays after flashing.

IMEI and device serial number both turn blank. Installed and registered programs (like hebre support) go into inactive mode due to registration failue. So I soft reset again and again until it works (2-3 time in average).
I use Indigo full but I guess it's common to all WM6 and has to do with some marginal timing issues with the hardware, coupled with some new firmware (WM6) that reads the data from flash too soon.

I install the programs which are in my signature, but the device hang once. I did a soft reset.

Hmmm.... How does McAfee have anything to do with IMEI? I had this problem but have Trend AV SW on my PC....

Stingray,
are you sure it's McAfee?

I'm also using McAfee Virusscan Enterprise 8.5i with Access Protection (I had the Traffics Subscription issues)

Could this be causing the Device ID to change with some ROMS? IMEI is one of the things used to generate device ID isn't it?

This has got to be too coincidental to be ignored....but then again I flashed my phone about 3 times the other night, and thinking about it, it was on my laptop with no Mcafee OAS......Only mUn TE keeps working TT device ID
