Hi guys,

I apologise if this seems a bit like a repost but I feel that it would help clarify the current sitatuion. I've been reading all the related D500 threads in this section about flashing the firware and changing the IMEI number, and to be honest it is slightly confusing.

The issue raised by lolly pop : "it seems that samsung are trying to combat the situation by useing a second number ( checkable by typing *#232337# ) and pairing it up with the imei number, so that if you change the imei, the second number number no longer matches and the phone is still barred/blocked." seems a little worrying.

1) Has anyone successfully unlocked a previously barred D500 by ONLY changing the IMEI number and disregarding this other number?

2) I have bought a D500 USB cable, will I be able to use this to change the IMEI number with the software posted by fr33s0ft? (I have this running perfectly now after some annoying DLL problems. Anyone else having similar problems let me know as I got round them all) It seems this software only allows COM connections so maybe not?

3) If it is completely possible would someone in the know (like fr33s0ft) perhaps give a final, accurate method to do so. All other explanations in other threads are waffly and confusing.

Many thanks for this. This forum is brilliant for finding information like this.

JBI. :cool:

the concept of a forum is users can learn from one anothers methods , learn many new things and learn custom tutorials posted by many of nokiafrees members and recieve plenty of free downloads also posted by many of nokiafrees gr8 contributing members but tell me , what have you done to contribute or help , supplying something silly like a ringtone is contributing etc etc....
i dont see why i should help ppl who join these forums with low post count if any and request files and help , if we all were to follow by your example the forums would be a really crap place to be as noone wants to contribute and just want to leech

ps .. its not confusing at all as many members have successfully done there imei and bluetooth without problem with the HELP of other forum members and there posts! - read my friend - knowledge is power!! and b4 anyone says i myself only have 16 posts , yes correct but i have been on these forums nearly 3 years under another name which i changed to this 01-01-05 if thats ok like :lol:

trust me people the bt id doesnt need to be touched ...... take it from experience (but remember it is still illegal) get the software of that smart fella above called "fr33soft" and use that with a d500 cable (with 9v power supply )
all should go fine.
p.s we all come on here for one thing... info or help, even ones like me with only a few posts can offer advice to people
. Remember one thing all people can change a lightbulb but not all people are electricians ha ha ha (hope your d500 problems are sorted mate ) :-D (not meaning to seem nasty but we all start somewhere )

D500 IMEI CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS..

YOU MUST HAVE A VALID IMEI + BLUETOOTH ID..

TO GET THE BLUETOOTH ID TYPE : *#232337#

NOW WITH THIS INFORMATION START UP D500 WINIMEI:

ONCE ON THE MANUAL SCREEN.

CLICK ON "CHANGE BLUETOOTH NO, A NEW WINDOW WILL POP UP.

ENTER YOUR BLUETOOTH ID : AND CLICK CONFIRM

NOW CLICK "WRT BT ID"

POWER BUTTON DOWN. PHONE WILL ENTER TAT MODE AND SOFTWARE WILL SAY: BLUETOOTH ADDRESSE GOOD!

NOW CLICK " NEW " ENTER A VALID IMEI.

SOFTWARE ALSO ASKS A FOR A PASSWORD. INCLUDED IN THE ARCHIVE IS A KEYGENARTOR. JUST COPY AND PASTE AND CLICK GENEARTE..

NOW CLICK WRT IMEI.
PROGRAM WILL SAY WAITING TO ENTER TAT MODE: WITH THE CABLE PLUGGED IN HOLD THE POWER
POWER BUTTON DOWN. PHONE WILL ENTER TAT MODE AND SOFTWARE WILL WRITE FEW MESSAGES.. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS
YOU WILL BE PROMPTED TO ENTER TAT MODE AGAIN.. JUST BRIEFLY HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON,

FULL PROCESS TAKES ABOUT 2 MINS. DO NOT REMOVE CABLE WHILE SOFTWARE IS WORKING AND USE A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY!

GOOD LUCK

you need a 9v flashing cable, not a usb cable for a start. secondly there are many posts which explain exactly how to do it...and it really isnt complicated, after all i had to make it up as i went along and managed to do it since my phone was too new for the older techniques to work, just read the posts!

and for all those worrying about bluetooth numbers pairing with your imei they don't...simple as! just change your imei if you want to (rembering its illegal and everything...) and thats that. it has been done many times by many ppl all in the know and with experience of it themselves and who have not changed the bt number and everything works fine
