Recover IMEI After Write Certificate - GSM-Forum

niceguy786 · 04-06-2017, 20:33

So here's the problem guys, (apologies before hand if we already have a thread on this, I couldn't find one).
So before, I use to write certs on phones such as note 3, 4 or galaxy s5.
When I did that, the old IMEI went away, & we got a new one which came with cert.
My question is
1 - "Is there any way to get that old IMEI back?"
I don't have any back-up or something so i don't know what to do.
Other question.
"If I have another phone can I take out the cert from that and write it on another phone"?
These phones are mostly t-mobile, hence ending in T.
Thanks

Hello.

To restore old IMEI You can write Security, or Cert file backup back into the phone. Reading of Cert files is not possible from Qualcomm-based phones, which most t-mobile phones are. However, You can use Cert files of another, compatible models (Cert files compatibility).

@icam I did backup the certs, but that were on my old computer, & something happened to that one.
If there any way we can restore the original cert ?
@Octopus_box Do you have any certs I can buy from you, there are multiple people trying to sell, but honestly I don't trust them.
however I do trust you. Can you get me some Certs which are only mine, and I can buy from you ?
Thank You

We are not selling Cert files. All Cert files, which we have at the moment, are available in free access (for Octoplus/Octopus users), in "Samsung/For unlock and repair/Certificates" folder of the Support Area.
