Change IMEI on Samsung i9000
 

I have recently purchased a Samsung i9000 (Galaxy S), also known as the Vibrant on the T-Mobile network. I was curious on how, if possible, I could change the IMEI number on the phone.

My mobile provider checks IMEI numbers against their database for data plan service. If the IMEI registers as a smartphone, the customer is required to pay outrageous data service charges. But if not, you could save a lot of $$$.

I would appreciate somebody's advice on how I could change my IMEI number on this phone. Thanks in advance.

PFfff.... no way, you can't unlock it,

There were some discussion in another forum where a member figured out how to change the IMEI number, but didn't want to reveal the method publicly.

Bump, any advice? I hear the IMEI is stored in the nv_data.bin file. Can it be changed/edited with a HEX editor?

Could I flash my phone and corrupt the IMEI number? That way the service provider will not recognize the phone as an i9000.

looks like SPT BOX just released a update could do IMEI Repair

Does the SPTBox support the new Samsung i9020?

Bump.

Just wanted some guidance on changing the IMEI on the Samsung Galaxy S phones, including the Nexus S (i9020). Or any suggestions on how I could avoid my carrier from seeing my IMEI number and thus forcing me into a more expensive data plan.

Help would be appreciated!

you already answered your question.
this device's IMEI is very easy to change!
