imei change tutorial for sonyericsson {By FullFlashGSMPH.}
1.Choose correct model
(only DB2000/DB2010 phones supported,
from 093 version CID49/51 DB2012/DB2020 phones supported via patch,
from v0.914029 DB2010/DB2020/PNX5230 CID49/CID50/CID51/CID52/CID53 supported via patch)
2. Choose "SETTINGS" tab.
Check
"PATCH OTP<>GDFS CHECK IN FIRMWARE"
"ALLOW TO CHANGE IMEI WHEN UNLOCKING"
for DB2012/DB2020 only
"USE SERVER FOR UNLOCK/FLASH"
"USE ALTERNATIVE SECURITY BYPASS"
3. go back to SEMC tab, press UNLOCK
4. when prompted, enter needed IMEI,
NOTE:
for pnx5230/db2012/db2020 phones REAL IMEI NOT changed, flashpatch "forges" IMEI via some trick.
no worry though, network (and customer) will see NEW IMEI.
but, once phone will be updated on SEUS it will return to original IMEI.
same applies to flashing main part of firmware.
you need 1 credit to change IMEI for db2010/db2020/pnx5230 phones cid49/cid50/cid51 phones,
you not need anything for cid52/cid53 db2010/db2020/pnx5230 phones (setool2 version should be >=v0.914029)
you NOT need anything for cid49 db2000/db2010 phones.
BE AWARE THAT CHANGING IMEI IS ILLEGAL AND PROHIBITED BY LAW. USE IT FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE OR WHEN YOU HAVE CHANGED FLASH CHIP WITH ALREADY FILLED OTP!!!
*I have done db2020 cid49 & cid51 imei change for free a few times by writing a script file to convert to cid52. The setting & procedure are the same as when you do free db2020 flashing except you have to also select
"PATCH OTP<>GDFS CHECK IN FIRMWARE"
"ALLOW TO CHANGE IMEI WHEN UNLOCKING"
