Hi,
i have problem. Since last week more and more phone (only swift plattform) come back to me with imei 00000000000000.So people dont know nothing about flashing, they just says they are transfering song by bluetooth and after problem happens.
So is there a bug in swift based phone?
who can people erase eeprom by transfering data?
is there some virus can do that?
thanks for help

The cause of that problem is the code posted on the internet that "unlock" the phone
Is the 7337 code that wipe the eeprom (IMEI, Net Lock, BT address, Radio and battery settings, etc...)

You can find that "free" solution that damage the phone IMEI all over this forum and on many other forums.

I think its great that these people enter these free codes and need the handset repaired for no service

more business

yes-more codes like this one and i hope more "smart" users

But in other side calibration of phone sometime is not so easy job and sometime is impossible

Well.. on Swift phones is allmost impossible to prove that by software.
On Agere and Qualcomm phones can be proved by checking the S/N

thanks elco for advice.
