Now check by *#06#: 0049999010640000

serialno: HT25TW{marked}
imei: 35304{marked} (it is OK)

As long as you do not have S-OFF it is not possible to restore your IMEI

I run RUU file: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe

and check after that - the trouble did not solved.

Looking for solution from you, this it appear when upgarde to JB so may be can solved it by downgrade HBOOT to downgrade firmware to ICS.

If this way cannot public - please send email to me.:good:

Thanks.

fgth90 · Sep 19, 2013

AFAIK there is no solution is you're not S-OFF.
You have to contact HTC SAV and ask them what to do.

No idea, sorry. I've no clue as to what the deal is with the software on cloned phones. The IMEI is supposed to be hard coded in to the firmware on the phone and untouchable.

Could well be the network has recognised it as a clone and blocked the IMEI, but I couldn't say that was actually the case with any degree of certainty.

Moreover, changing your IMEI is illegal as far as I'm aware, so we can't discuss it here, sorry.
If you bought it, contact the previous owner and ask him.

Good luck in your searches,
Franky

You can't downgrade hboot if you're not S-Off.

OtVang · Sep 19, 2013

Thanks, I already send an email to HTC support but must have waiting solution respond from them,

also when waiting respond from them - who can please provide me nand ICS backup for Asia-wwe (or the link me can download).
this may be: Nandroid Backup 1.19.707.1 CID HTC__044 or Nandroid Backup 2.17.707.3 CID HTC__044, I find out some link in here [COLLECTION]Stock Nandroid Backups for Different CIDs but it was removed.

I will try restore and check.

Thanks.

If you do a "fastboot getvar all", the IMEI is OK so it looks like the firmware spits out the correct IMEI, but not in *#06#.

Isn't it just something in your build.prop?? Or some other file?

Welcome to the club !
No solution for me since a lot of month, my HOX is like a ipod. I'm now on hboot 1.72 with sense 5 rom.
Maybe one day a developer will try to find a solution

How did you upgraded to hboot 1.72? I couldn't find any update for 1.72 for cid: HTC__044.

I am having the same issue. I am on hboot 1.36. Tried every thing but no luck. Looking for trying a Hboot upgrade.

When your imei is gone you won't get it back just like that. It needs or a jtag solution via a shop or get it rewritten by an official repair centre/HTC !

And when you want to do it yourself you need at least s-off.....but that is also not really possible.

But why is fastboot showing correct IMEI and basband number? The only thing HTC know is that they would replace the board for 200$

what kind of a solution is that
