[Q] Sony Z2 IMEI is other phone's topic

Hi, I bought locked IMEI Z2 off ebay without knowing it. short story, I got my money back but there one thing that surprise me.
the my IMEI is from other phone LG L5 to be precise and I'm pretty sure it's a Legit Z2 as well, not some chinese made knock off. I also checked my other phone that I got from new (S4, and HD2) they all got the right model.

What I want to know is, is it possible to change the IMEI number? ASFAIK you can't change xperia IMEI number because it's stored somewhere in the partition. and you can't change it because it is security signed and if you change it, would make your device completely useless or hardbricked, unlike softbricked device that you can easily fix.

[Q] What benefit from IMEI change? topic

Ok, My old SGS3 finally gave up the ghost and I purchased a Z3c. I trimmed the SIM card from my SGS3 to fit the Z3c, booted up setup the phone and am on LTE (At&T) able to make voice calls, send and receive sms, check voicemail etc...

I noticed when I log into my ATT account page online it shows a generic phone picture now instead of the SGS3 picture it used to. What benefit do I gain from calling in my new IMEI number? I ask because for the moment everything appears to be working great... and if there is no strong negative to not updating my IMEI I was wondering why do it (as I assume they may attempt to hit me with an upgrade fee or I have read a few threads on other sites about how when they provided the new IMEI suddenly LTE or other service issues cropped up that weren't there when using the old IMEI...)

Thanks for any responses that might be helpful in allowing me to understand why I should update it or why it may or may not be important (pro's and con's)

[Q] Why IMEI is different when installed android 4.1.1 than installed 4.4.2 topic

I'm very sorry for my bad english...

I bought a new galaxy note 2 N7100, it comes with android 4.1.1
When I try to upgrade to 4.4.2 via 'Software updates' menu I receive a message 'your device has been modified software updates are not available'.
At the 'Download Mode' screen I see CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM & SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM.
So I installed a Stock ROM 4.4.2 from here: sammobile.com/firmwares/download/38904/N7100XXUFNJ1_N7100OJKFNJ1_ILO.zip/
Now when I try update via 'Software updates' menu I receive a message 'Connecting to server > the latest updates have already been installed'
At the 'Download Mode' screen I see CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official & SYSTEM STATUS: Official
Fantastic!
But now the IMEI has been changed (normal valid number no generic) and the 3G network works well.
I want return the phone back to the seller therefore I need to restore the previous version 4.1.1
So I did 'Reset to factory' and I installed a Stock ROM 4.1.1 from here: sammobile.com/firmwares/download/7562/N7100XXALIH_N7100OJKALIH_ILO.zip/
After the installation had occurred magic! the original IMEI was restored!
When I try to upgrade to 4.4.2 via 'Software updates' menu I receive again the message 'your device has been modified software updates are not available'.
At the 'Download Mode' screen I see again CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM & SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM.
Now I don't want return the phone back..
I upgraded to the latest version via Samsung Kies and after upgrading I see that the IMEI was changed again, now it's the same number as the previous time that installed 4.4.2

It is very strange this story.

Why after original Stock ROM 4.1.1 installation the 'Current Binary' and 'System Status' are 'Custom' and why can not update via 'Software Update' ?

Why when the Stock ROM 4.4.2 is installed the phone has X IMEI and when the Stock ROM 4.1.1 is installed the phone has Y IMEI (X is always the same Y is also always the same but X and Y are different, also they both are valid - 3G works well) ?

I only want install the latest official ROM - Android 4.4.2 and keep the original IMEI
Someone can help me how to do this?

Thanks very much in advance.

[q] lg g2 d801 t mobile imei number wiped (reads imei: 0) after flashing firmware topic

I found several related threads. But none seemed to have the answer I needed. I do not have an EFS backup. The last thread I tried used QPST. Did everything to about step #39 of maybe 42. "Copy line 550 and select Write to Phone", I think this was in NV_Manager (sorry, not at home). Copy line 550 containing IMEI info. Line 550 did not exist on my phone. The line numbers went up to about 46?? My question is... If the entire entry is gone from my G2 (no line 550 at all), how can I reenter it? I do have the original IMEI number. Or please steer me to the correct thread???
I have been 3 weeks without my phone. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Imei unknown but no 3G. topic

My fri device, N7105 and he is totally a noob about phone. 6 months ago, his phone power was dead suddenly and so he sent to the shop (not certified service center). After phone power was back, he noticed that android verison was lower than his previous state. So he went back again to the shop to upgrade android versio as original state,4.3. When i start to have a look at his phone and its not functioning well and the big things i found out was imei unknown but still have 2g network (cant use 3G or 4g )at all. How this problem occurred? May be downgrade after reviving power? In fact i just want to help him if there is a way to do rather than going back and dealing with unskillful service men. I dont think imei will be restored just by flashing latest stock rom. Is there any way to restore IMEI?
