You can only change imei by replacing a UEM IC ... unless some like J.A.F has a software patch ??

unlike some lazy ppl i have been soin some research my self and have found what the UEM IC is and looks like my only question now is do you solder this on to the board? if thats the case is it difficult?
here is the pic i found..

its not as simply as, unsoldering the chip and replacing it, you have to take great care while doin it, so you dont damage any of the main chip, and also you need special equipment to do it, like for example you need a hot air station and flux
