why so much battle with black listed phones? - GSM-Forum

Zianna · 03-05-2001, 07:55

i have been reading this forum and it seems most ppl are trying to change thier imei number to unblacklist a phone (and even sum seriusly damaging thier phones), im not one to just hand secretes over, but for the ppl who want to play and have a slight idea on nokia's, a phone can be unblaclisted by a) changing a certain value in netmon, and changing a certain original value in the phone (all done by mbus/fbus serial cable) i flashed a phone once hasnt worked again, so i tend to stay clear of that approach, but anyhow its true this method isnt fool proof,u can make about 13 succsefull calls out of every 20 dialed, but redialing a number is a small price to pay for an unblacklisted phone. anyhow just thought i would share this with u,i also need other phones to test this on as i have only tried it on 18 nokia 5110's, all with different versions ,and not realy going to report my 3310 stolen to test (murphys law),but for the ppl who feel like playing i tink that is enuff info, and just to let u know it can be done!

Am just curious, what particular test in netmon did you tinker with? Are you also refering to the Original IMEI? BTW, in my country, black listed phones don't get any signal indication from the blocking network so it is impossible to make a call. Does the same thing apply to your place?

Just curious.

hehehehehe..... yup, tested with all nokia models in regrdless of its firmware.

but, theirs always a reason for a blacklisted phones such as stolen and unpaid bills. so, in our community, we actually don't tolerate this kind of a thingy. its like ushering ppl to steal phones....

Yes ofcourse, this is for tinkering porpouses only to test old phones that u brought to life, no1 should ever dream about actualy abusing that, besides there are defenatly ways to be traced, service providers are not that stupid, so if mista police man comes knocking on the door betta have a good answer
