Might not be the best place to talk about it, and you also need special equipment for it. No one was able to change/hack it on the S1.

Service is determined by your sim. Changing the imei would do nothing other than circumvent a trace from a stolen phone, which is why most providers require it.

I want to change the IMEI, because when i go to Turkey for holiday, the Turkish operator will block my SGS2 after 2 weeks.

I have to register it, but i get this option only every 2 years.

Last year i registered a phone, and so this year i cannot register it.

But now i want to use the SGS2 a a modem for tethering.

i want to give the IMEI of my old phone to my new SGS2.

Cheers

ofcourse you can use a low cost mobile which can do the trick. Yes you will miss browsing etc etc in SGS2 but changing IMEI is illegal and punishable by law. Guess you are better off with any cheap mobile

Changing IMEI as said is illegal in many country s and a big negative is that the phone uses IMEI to connect as part of its handshake process .
Therefore should not really be discussed on XDA and may lead to a blocked phone at a later date .

Not always. My AT&T plan will only allow data on my HTC Aria. If I take out my SIM and put it in my SGS2 I get poorer quality voice and no data service. Something in their system ties my SIM to my phone and my plan.

a Moderator please close the thread ...

to OP - it's not hard to change the IMEI, it's just illegal and against rules to discuss it here
so no answer for you here
