How to get IMEI using Serial no. Iphone4? - GSM-Forum

ImNoob · 05-01-2013, 11:33

Hi Guyz

I bought a second-hand iPhone4 but I can't get it activate or hactivate.
(Itune message: There is a problem with your iPhone.)
Problem is I want to run the IMEI numbers through checkmend to make sure they are not blocked.

The sim tray is not original and I don't have the box.

I can open the phones from My Computer and found the serial number from there, now is there anyway I can get the IMEI from the serial number?

SerialNumber: 82031UNRA4T

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Yes, you can connect it to redsn0w and in redsn0w go to extras-even more-identify
New window will open and in that window you can see your IMEI.

It doesn't have its original sim tray, the sim tray don't have the IMEI printed on it.

Thanks, but can you find the IMEI if possible?

BB-gsm · 05-02-2013, 07:34

@ ImNoob

Why dont you type *#06# to get it shown ?

Or just press (i) info sign on the main activation screen .

Regards

ImNoob · 05-02-2013, 07:43

@BB-gsm

I tried typing *#06# in, didn't work.
I press the (i) info sign on the main screen, the blue square thing show but it blank.

Thanks anyway

@ ImNoob

It explains iTunes error message now .

It seems that it has corrupted/damaged baseband firmware, or it might be hardware damaged as well .

You should do a restore and try to activate or view that info after restoring .
And if you dont want to end up with a phone not turning on at all, check the hardware before restoring .

Regards
