A310F Live Demo Unit - get IMEI running?

[Catscratch]

Hi,

I got a Live Demo Unit of a store owner who got insolvent and liquidated his shop. Now I got this device which also recognizes a SIM card. But I can't make any calls and it don't get any cellular access. Also the IMEI is some developer IMEI.

My question is, can I get this unit running? Or can I use the IMEI of my one of my other smartphones? Or is it a hardware limitation? I already flashed latest official Samsung firmware (5.1.1 LP).

Thanks. I already flashed stock fw. But I still got no IMEI.

stock image wont do anything, i think demo units lock the ability to flash the modem, hence you wont see any radio infos.

There is a thorough guide in the Note 3 threads, and also give these xposed modules a try: Phone ID Changer & Serial Number Changer

Hm. But I flashed a radio. Sim card is also working, but because of a developer imei you can register in cellular network since the imei is not on providers white list.

I will read you linked thread asap. Thanks for the hint.

i just read on that note 3 thread, the OP flashed all the newest stuff, but left the bootloader and modem untouched (what it came with). What model does your demo unit show? On the Note 3, it had a SM-N900X, the X was only for the demo units.

That shows that phone has no radio(tuner)

How to do it

You can flash a modem but you will still have no imei. See the forums on how to flash a modem. You need Odin.

One advice. Don't waste your time. You won't be able to use a sim card with a live demo unit. Even when flashing a modem.

I don't know where I got the modem from. I think somewhere in this forum oder on samfirmware.com
