Where can i find the device ID andIMEI numbers in the registry?

---

Hi guys and cooks,

I want to change the identity of the custom ROM i install buy changing the IMEI number found in the device information. Some of my providers software are locked for a specific ROM and cant work on any other cooked ROM.

Anyone know where can i change these values in the registry?

Thanks a lot.

There's no simple way of changing the IMEI (and in some countries it's Illegal).
A cooked rom won't change it.


there's two text files that may be of interest in the OEM/operatorpkg folders in most of the roms.

ModelName.txt
and
custinfo.txt

First just contains the name of the device (x1i or x1a)

2nd contains for example
Software Id=1213-6450
Software Version=R2AA008
Customization Id=1215-1832
Customization Version=R20A
Customization Variant=GENERIC_UK
Content Version=PA10

which is the rom version, it's pretty obvious then that this is R2AA008

Both these files are in windows, so you could try changing them if you need to.


There's also a HKLM/system/versions

Thanks Fards for the reply. I actually not even sure that these info is what causing the software to fail. Whats interesting is they only work on Generic UK ROMs, R1 or R2. But they give me errors like "this software has expired" on any other custom ROM.

I will give it a try.
