Default How to recover your IMEI in ONE step

If you messed up your phone there is one simple procedure to recover your imei.
It os working if you previously used an market account.

Go to https://www.google.com/dashboard/ , look for android devices, locate your phone and click More data stored about this device. You will find your IMEI over there.

Ok, and then do what with the IMEI?? People who have IMEI issues cannot reinject it in their ROMs with just the number??

Here's a two way of "recovering" your IMEI:

Remove backpanel of phone
BATTERY PULL!

Ta-DA!

off-course they can't...
The first rule in reflashing is : BACK UP YOUR S*IT. Including system files it you are to clumsy...
The second rule in reflashing is: back up your back up. On a removable media, meaning REMOVE IT AFTER YOU ARE DONE COPYING YOUR BACK Up.
And
The third rule of reflashing is: Don't do it if you are a moron and you can't keep up with a step by step wizard.

Well then why post this? Noone needs to see their IMEI unless they lost their efs partition. And if they lost their efs partition, seeing their IMEI won't HELP!

The simplest way to check the IMEI is to look under the battery or on the box the phone came with. My phone also has it's number on the warranty but knowing the number won't help you at all so rename the topic from "How to recover your IMEI in ONE step" to "How to check your IMEI if you want to complicate your life further" and be done with it.

This thread is a waste of bandwidth.

Or maybe you just forgot to write how to recompile /EFS folder?

Ok, so three people gave a better solution: LOOK UNDER BATTERY

He just wanted to post a smartass response to the recover your IMEI thread.
