Can't change IMEI

[Churya]

I just revived a dead 3310 that got soaked in water but the IMEI is 656565656565656 and I can't change it, it also had a bad msid though I was able to fix it but it still is CONTACT SERVICE even after reflashing it many times.

pls. help me:( :( :(

Hi Churya,

Tell us what you have tried so that we arn't giving you suggestions you have already done.

Regards.

I flashed the phone after cleaning it then changed the cobba chip since it is contact service, it has a bad msid and faid cannot be updated. After changing the cobba, faid was updated but still the IMEI cannot be changed. I used Nokia Tool by Rolis, EEPROM repair for DCT3 phones by Dejan, and NSE Original IMEI Changer ASM-C by PRO to change the IMEI but haven't got no result. I never had a problem changing IMEI before w/ these programs.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

try to flash virgineprom(3D0000).then use mbus cable and now you can change your imei easly..it usually works..__jero__

[Churya]

Thanks 4 the suggestion jero, but my phone won't power on after flashing with virgineprom.

Any other techniques that I could try?

hi..
it should be o.k. after uploading virgineprom...but if you r sure phone wont turn on after uploding..so try to replace another COBBA(most cobba are faulty) or check FLASH ROM..tx..__jero__

The phone should start start even when the IMEI is 65656565656565, so the IMEI can't be the problem.

Hi again Churya,

please fullflash your phone....the imei is in eeprom area(3d0000-40000) address...

Rolis 4.78 did it!!!

Damian, the thread you referred did help. I used rolis 4.78 and the flash file you attached and the contact service was gone, so now I was able to change the IMEI with the usuall program I use.

I think the reason I failed in my previous attempts in flashing virgineprom was the program so I gave a try on Rolis 4.78 and it worked.

To all you Guys, thanks a lot for your great help.

Glad to be a part of this Great forum.
