First of all,

I live in Brazil, and my country still deny the entrance of generic cellphones from China, the politicians here want to receive more tax from buying a original cellphone at a price of an Apple top line.

Then I buy a generic cellphone.

The problem is, the IMEI isn't into the Federal database of cellphones, this alarm the services providers to troll me with a low traffic bandwidth, unable to call, and when I can do a call this goes down after some minuter (not more than 3).

I think the only way to bypass this protection is copy an IMEI from a digitally assigned device, the Federal lawyer in communications called ANATEL.

Well, I rooted my cellphone, I don't know the techniques to place a new IMEI on it, but, i find these files http://pastebin.com/bgBybbnL. I think the IMEI comes with a private key to ciphers the communication, then, how can I get this informations?

Thanks guy! u will help me a lot if you can answer!

  • The method to change the IMEI varies for different devices.. What is your device name or model?

  • As you already have a rooted phone, you can use Xprivacy which is a very powerful tool to spoof mobile identifiers. Xprivacy is required xposed framework to work.

If you've xposed framework installed, you may be able to change by installing This module. I've tried changing IMEI with module and it worked.

  • I assume that "it worked" means that you see the modified IMEI in every app/settings on your device. However this does not necessarily means that the modified IMEI is used when you do a call. The network connection is established by a separate sub-module which can not be modified with Xposed. Therefore I doubt that the modified IMEI is used when communicating with the cell tower.

  • I checked by *#06#. OP can give it a try and comment. If he's still blocked in Brazil that means it didn't work.
