[Tutorial] How to write IMEI to HTC using fastboot
(20-08-2018, 10:10 AM)murch No, I'm trying to restore my original IMEI.
I know it's very strange but it did change automatically somehow and phone that was working until 2 hours earlier (I was abroad on vacation, used the phone normally also with data roaming, made phone calls, etc..) as soon as I got back to my homecountry and switch off flight mode (I was really on an airplane) the same phone and sim card that worked perfectly both in my homecountry and abroad 'til 2 hourse earlier, suddenly stopped being able to register on my carrier's network due to "suspicious" IMEI (according to my carrier), so I checked my phone's imei with the imei written both on the back of the phone behind the battery and on the original phone's box - which I still have, and my phone's "current" imei has actually changed to a weird 35XX9500000017 instead of my original and correct: 35506XXXXX826X1 [Xs inserted by myself of course) . With all those zeros that Imei seems something artificial used perhaps by some dev while coding / developing roms to randomly assign imei to a device, I really don't know...
I've been using this phone with different carriers in different countries for years and never had any problem until some days ago....
Please help me out to fix this. It's like when I input the fastboot oem writeimei command and then reboot the phone, there's some kind of protection on bootloader (imei section?) that restores the previous imei / doesn't allow for actual permanent change...
