It's away much easier to change GPS software than IMEI.

The IMEI is likely hardcoded into the hardware and WM reads directly off the hard code..Good luck!

you can change the imei of your device but it will cost both in time and money and you have to get your self a golden box( check infinity) but it's going to be easier for you to change your GPS software.:)

No, the IMEI is not hardcoded into the device. It can be overwritten/changed but its a very dangerous process and if you're not an absolute pro you'll most likely brick your device. And this would be a final brick, not recoverable.

Appart from that: it's absolutely illegal in most countrys in the world. I actually don't know a single country where it isn't. In the countries I know the punishment wouldn't just be a fine but definitifely prison. And even if it's legal in your country, if you'd enter another country with a modded device you'd be guilty if caught at the border.

In the end it's easier to get a pirated copy of a GPS software including maps for your region, activators, keygens and cracks, all that USING GOOGLE ONLY, than changing your IMEI.

I've never programmed for WinCE but on WinNT I would go the following way:
1. Read MSDN to get an idea where from IMEI is to be obtained (I don't think every user space application reads hw registers, there should be some interfacing library (dll) which provides required functions).
2. Look for articles on dll injection (google for this trick) on WinCE.
3. Build custom dll providing all but IMEI query functions tunneled from original dll, IMEI retrival functions should be handled by your library, providing preprogrammed constants to user level app.
4. Program dll injector for putting hook into the specific app.

actually believe it or not it is not illegal to change your imei number here in canada but reasons for changing it end up being not so legal!

they locked me into a 3-yr contract and trick me into signing up for the $15 "unlimited surfing option" and only to tell me they have to bill me $120 extra backdate to my previous two invoices claiming my phone is not compatable with their "unlimited surfing option" and hence have to bill me by $/kB and claiming i had used over $2000 worth of data (WTF?!?!) over the past two month which i already paid my invoices in full & on time and there was nothing mentioned about any data usage whatsoever!

hence, i would very much like to change my IMEI to screw them back. Appreciate any help.
