ive been reading up on the new d500 and the situation on changing the imei.

i know its illegal and all that rubbish,but there are sometimes genuine reasons for having to do it.

anyway, 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 imi number, so that if you change the imei, the second number number no longer matches and the phone is still barred/blocked.

what im thinking is that ........... a long time ago,i was faced with a simler situation with a panasonic gd87, where as you couldnt just change the imei to any old number,it had to be a imei that the phone would know, eg: another pan gd87 imei.so i got my g/friends imei, cloned it and created a log and when i uploaded it to the phone, they both worked 100%.

so......... why cant we do the same for the samsung d500, clone the two matched numbers from a working one to a barred/blocked one.


does anyone have any views on this idea ?

thanks to anyone who does

Hi,

I have changed on sunday the IMEI number of a D500. I have used the IMEI number I used to have on my last T68i sony.
It worked and my phone is with working perfectly.

Do you think it will be blocked by the phone company or it should have already stopped working because of the 2 non maching numbers ?

Cheers
Easy

I have just succeeded in unlocking a new sgh-d500, the one the winimei 1.07 wont unlock.

everyone says you need winimei 1.34 that is cracked, but it doesnt exist, however i've managed to find a way around that problem.

what you need is both winimei 1.07 and 1.34!!!

1. use winimei 1.34 to unlock the phone
2. open winimei 1.07 and read imei settings
3. enter the new imei you want to use (we are now only using 1.07)
4. click write imei, copy the generated key into keygen
5. enter keygen password into winimei but dont click start yet!
6. make sure that phone is off, has no sim and connect cable to phone but leave 9v battery unattached
7. click go on winimei, it will say entering tat mode, now plug in 9v battery, and press phone power button briefly...winimei will start
8. keep and eye on its progress, it will stop sometimes and say waiting for tat mode again, so just press the phone power button breifly whenver it does this and it will continue
9. this will happen about 3 times, at the end it will say pass and should take around 2mins to complete
10. take off 9v battery, cable and remove phone battery
11. put in sim and boot up phone...it should be working perfectly!!!

this is how i did it, i tried every other method suggested and got nowhere, this was just me fiddling around with it and eventually got it to work. hopefully this will help anyone who was in my situation, it feels good to have solved the prob!!

you will need a 9v flashing cable for the d500, lots of people give links to website that charge £35+, your best bet is to look on ebay as thats where i got mine from and it only cost me £8...bargain!

you will also need a combination of programs and files depednign on what you are doin

bascially you will need corona downloader (plenty of links within forum for this), winimei 1.07 for older d500's, and both 1.07 and 1.34 for the newer ones as explained in my earlier posts. winimei 1.34 id also available in the forum from lolly_pop's post as that is where i got mine, however 1.07 seems to have gone missing and no-one seems to have it apart from me, and sadly i cant work out how to put attachments to my files in a post, ive tried and failed so if someone helps me out on that ill sort u all out with it.
