i click on "HELP" and "REPAIR IMEI" it says "Enter correct IMEI" does that mean to enter original imei of the phone?? the phone is blacklist i want the phone to get network service, i just want to make sure for future reference.

I think you are clever in alf to understand, what enter correct imei means, so if your mobile is black listed, you have got 2 different options, keep your original imei, to use your mobile to surf the net with WiFi, o find a "dead" mobile and replace the imei, i that case you can have full function again, so it's your decision, Octopus give to you the chance to rewrite the original imei, if you get any problem with EFS, wrong flash ect. I hope you get the message.

And you do that by typing the imei of the dead phone? or you need a cert file of a compatible phone?

Go to phone info, after you select the mobile, there are some, then you can do just writing the imei, for new mobiles brands you need a compatible cert. file, with the same Key ID, if you don't find of the same model of your phone. Just to give to you an example, for SM-A500FU, you can use certificate from: A500 F1-K-L-S-FU, the are all 0787 Key ID.
