SOS

Sorry no answer from me but exactly the same thing with my S5 mini g800F last week (end Sept), with exactly the same false IMEI, and I think I have now tried everything. No luck. Not the Ukraine phone call though!

Cannot get into "engineermode" which may have been a way to fix this. I loaded a new firmware, still nothing. ANY help will be appreciated but please nothing that asks me to add a "secret code" as the phone does not respond to those. I'm not an expert but got desperate enough to try my hand at a terminal emulator, it did not work. Stopped short of using SDK as the download is huge. Firmware now loaded is android 4.4.2 build number KOT49H.G800FXXU1AOG2. Heeeeelp anybody! The vendor is of no use either, just mumbling "this is a very strange thing, where did you get the phone....." (bought from the guy asking!!)

Warranty service restored the original IMEI

Just couple of days ago got my phone back from warranty and they fixed it (thought they wouldn't since it was rooted), so I would suggest doing the same thing. At the warranty center I had to explain my problem for about 30 minutes, because they believed that phone couldn't change its IMEI. Also you could try other service centers, because some of them said that they could fix this problem for about 30-50 EUR. I believe the only thing that could help otherwise is something like the z3x box, but it would be more expensive as it costs 100+ USD.

If you download the original stock firmware you can flash the IMEI number back to the phone

:S

No solution has been under warranty , the pochaine time to think about backup your EMEI
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KVE123:
Yes yes

there is a backup somewhere between all my external hard drives, memory sticks, cloud servers... And i can't find it, too long ago and too many passwords!! But, no use telling me now to make a "pochaine" backup. I will try the reflash to older version suggestion, and see whether that gives me access to the required features. If not, it is the mountain to climb, of getting to the samsung "support" to tinker with the phone. Glad you you are sorted sunciks. A person from xda did contact me, so lets see if that bears fruit.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irontaco1:
A back up of your phone? I would suggest just making a new back up because it's less time consuming.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KVE123:
BUP

You are going to have to be patient with an old person here. Making a backup of the current situation? Will it not just copy the existing false IMEI and replace on restore? Please be specific, step by step, as you would for a kid. Regards
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irontaco1:
Nope it shouldn't. The IMEI number is installed with the firmware. So if you back it up and factory reset, it should fix it.

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

If factory reseting doesn't work, then I suggest flashing the firmware manually.

Meaning tried to backup and factory reset. Now in process of manual flashing (via Kies). Previously found that Kies would download for an hour and then say "unexpected error...." so have not used it in more than two years. Anyway here we go again.

No, I mean downloading the firmware upgrade. It will download the new files but not install. This was long ago. Right now I get to tools to upgrade and initialise and get the message "does not support initializing" I give up!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irontaco1:
No don't give up, just download the firmware and flash it with ODIN. If you need my to explain that, leave me an email and I'll send you the instructions.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KVE123:
What you propose was the second thing I did. The first was doing a factory reset with the older version of the firmware (what the phone came out with). Neither steps worked. The firmware I flashed was (Build number) KOT49H.G800FXXU1AOG2. Which btw Kies indicates as the latest version.

SM-G800F Imei Issue - IMEI 350695200123951-01 NOKIA 6310

Hi All,

Did any one actually get a fix for this issue as I have exactly the same problem, my SM-G800F IMEI now also shows as - IMEI 350695200123951-01 which is for a blacklisted NOKIA 6310. If anyone can supply an absolute beginners guide for me as to how I can get my original Imei back that would be fantastic.

I am just a user of an android phone and have zilch experience of tinkering with them.

I have seen reference to things like Odin and flashing firmware and am quite happy to give it a go myself and learn :)

I will post this on a few other threads that list the same issue as I am desparate to get this fixed now as is a waste of a perfectly good phone !!

Cheers.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunciks:
Hi,

The only thing that worked for me was bringing the phone to service center. It got fixed under a warranty (although the KNOX was triggered). I think it can't be solved through Odin. So I would suggest to bring it to service center and maybe they will help.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andie1607:
Samsung don't want to know unfortunately as it was just out of warranty. All I want is to have my imei that originally came with the phone re-installing. I bought the phone brand new and it seemed to develop this error after the android upgrade to 6.0.1 as it was on 5.x.x before.

Soooo frustrating as its not a one off as searching the internet has told me.

Hi there, that's my post on giffgaff who I purchased the phone off at the time. They don't want to know and neither does Samsung. My phone wasn't rooted, had never been messed around with as I simply wouldn't know how. It must be a Samsung issue as all our imei numbers have changed to the same and mine was following their android update to 6.0.1.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andie1607:
Hi Andreadbs,

Go back to Samsung and basically explain the following what has happened and mention that this same imei (Nokia 6310) blacklisted appears on several different websites that you have found with other S5 Mini users experiencing the same problem dating back over a year ago.

Email their executive customer services, don't go down their bog standard customers service route as that didn't help me first time round. I have been back to them two weeks ago and emailed them loads of evidence and as a gesture of goodwill they have agreed to fix it and re-write my original imei as per the label on the phone and the original box.

They acted all confused as it if wasn't possible but I got a result !!

Any questions just ask :)

So I have been using the native tether unlock app by mike, and it works great. I have been tethering for awhile with zero issues. Now, when I tether, my speeds are literally 90 kbps when on my phone they are 1.5 kbps. Anyone have any ideas what could be doing this? I don't recall changing or deleting anything. I'm kinda lost. Other than reflashing MOAR ROM, I don't even know if that would fix it, but I don't know anything else to try. I even tried using my VPN and its the same speed.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crocodilius:
Can you verify the seal? Check if it isn't about double sealing.

In my case, N920i bought from Singapore (eBay seller), the seal was carefully applied over the another Samsung seal, both identical in shape, writing, letters etc. The box looked as of it was never opened, but the Note had been used before (I found some unknown wifi networks saved, but not a Google account).

I suppose it isn't a big deal nowadays to procure a fake seal, especially when you are selling products on the Internet. Sad stories for such expensive products.

Hi all,

Is anyone else experiencing stutter on their NP no matter where you play videos. Local memory or over network, for me is the same. I tried with 1080p and 720p and both stutter like crazy, upon to an unwatchable point for high bitrate mkvs.

I reflashed 511 via fastboot erasing userdata but no luck, same annoying stutter.

Any idea/suggestion is appreciated.

Thank you
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nephilim3883:
I tried playing MKVs over network with Kodi, but they stutter incredibly bad. I don't think the support for MKV is there, but I could be wrong. Sticking with MP4 for now.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghtop:
The OP doesn't provide any info about setup or apps tested.

But FWIW, all MKVs that I've tried - 720p, 1080p, inc. 10-bit encodes - have worked flawlessly on Kodi, whether locally or over network (smb or DLNA, WiFi AC/5Ghz).

So you need to isolate your problem to your setup. You could start by enabling the Codec Info OSD in Kodi ('c' key on a keyboard, can be remapped to e.g. remote back button) to see what's happening with your currently playing videos.

You could play with the hardware decoder settings in Kodi's System config to see if toggling any of the options might help. Also try different apps, of course. There are lots of possible variables really ... isolating the problem is the key.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbyWC:
I have not had issues with playing 720p or 1080p H264 / x264 MKV files with Kodi over 5 GHz wireless AC. I usually go through an SMB server to stream the files from another PC on my LAN or the USB drive plugged in to my router. Which video codecs are your files encoded in and how high are the average bitrates of those files?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koperniczx3:
It would be good to know if OP is using Kodi or a different player..
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ladduro:
Hi All, sorry for the delay, I think I managed to track the cause of my stutter. First of all, to answer your question, it is happening with all players, including Kodi.

After some more testing, I came to the conclusion that it is related to the framerate output that is not in sync with my TV refresh rate. I have a Samsung that goes to 60Hz max, and video sources at 24fps stutter/judder like hell. I cannot watch any 24fps movies no matter their format. I tested with 60fps content and all was playing fine.

Really not sure why AndroidTV/Nexus Player does not allow automatic framerate switching, but watching anything at 24fps is basically impossible for me. TVHZ app allows me to go to 50 or 60 Hz, but I read this bug is fixed in M dev preview. Did not tried it yet.

Kodi is supposed to be able to auto switch framerate, at least in one of their build (for Shield if I recall correctly), but even if I have the option enabled in the menu, video playback is still stuck at 60Hz.

Does anyone know if auto framerate switching is going to be added in 6.0 ?

Thank you
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghtop:
Well, there's nothing unusual about playing 24fps sources on a 60Hz TV, and you shouldn't be seeing such severe juddering even with 3:2. This forum would be full of complaints otherwise, since 24fps sources are so common.

Are you able to test with another TV than your Samsung, perhaps? And enable the Codec Info OSD in Kodi to see if that reveals anything. I'd also try toggling the "Sync playback to display" option in System settings. For comparison: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=219796
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbyWC:
Yes, that's one of the new features available in Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ladduro:
What about other players? Kodi made this possible via their internal player, not Android's as far as I know.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabbyWC:
[MENTION=2998453]Ladduro[/MENTION], I'm not sure what you mean by Android's "internal" video player or if there even is such a thing on the Nexus Player. If other popular apps like MX Player and VLC support auto frame rate switching in the future, then you'll have more playback options beyond Kodi.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghtop:
I've been playing plenty of 24fps sources on my 60Hz TV without the pulldown causing an unwatchable judder as decribed by the OP. I still think he's misdiagnosing the problem, but I guess once an idea gets in your head it's hard to shift it.

Maybe you cannot see the judder. I can, and it is bothering me a lot.

But this time i'm really stumped

I can see that a lot of other people are having this problem and have tried all the solutions to no avail.

I was rooted before and had the notification that update was available.

I followed this guide How to get OTA Updates on a rooted HTC One M8 by sakitech on youtube as I have done before.

I flashed the stock recovery and rebooted fine.

then I applied the update from the notification you get and now I am stuck with this brick...

I can get into boot loader using a combination of up and down buttons with the power button.

I am S-on

OS4.16.401.13

Ive tried putting various 0P6BIMG.zip on the sd card and have had the following results

On lollipop, OTA will fail when the stock ROM is rooted due changes in binary.

You need a pure non-rooted stock ROM. Re-unrooted a rooted stock ROM won't work either.

How to get OTA Updates on a rooted HTC One M8 is not applicable on lollipop

Install TWRP and restore non-rooted TWRP 4.16.401.10 backup and then install 4.16.401.10 stock recovery then redo the OTA.

You can restore only system if you want to keep your data or backup your data and restore later after the OTA successfully update your device.
