Did you try a factory / hard reset. :rolleyes:

It certainly should be, but that would assume he know the forum rules ;)

that's true

or maybe because there's usually only one guest viewing the alpine forum at any given period of time, so, instead of waiting in frustration, he becomes desperate and posts the thread into a very popular section of the forum :rolleyes:

wonder why da f* u changed ur imei in the first place. been watching mindfreak???

[sentest]

[pedmond]

I'm no specialist, but I was the impression that IMEI was hardcoded and cannot be changed?

[sentest]

nope imei is stored in the eeprom of all phones if you know how to access that you can change it

[devdarshan]

All IMEI numbers are regulated and specific to a device...its illegal to tamper with them !
