IMEI Analyzing and IMEI Tweaking
If you still
get confused on what it means whenever you hear these pairs of double words, IMEI Analysing and IMEI tweaking or
you simply don’t know what they are and curious to know, then you are at the
right place.
As we are
not only going to break down the meanings for you, but also going to show you
how to analyse IMEI and tweak IMEI at the same time.
First of all
let’s come again with the meaning of IMEI;
IMEI stands for International Mobile
Station Equipment Identity; it is mostly a 15
digit unique numbers used to identify many tech gadgets like your phones, modems
(dongles) etc.
And because
IMEI is a unique entity to all devices, no two set of devices have the same
IMEI.
Now for most
phones, to see their IMEI, simply dial *#06#
and it will be displayed on their screen.

If your
phone is dual SIM, you will see 2 IMEI
when you dial that number but if it is single SIM phone, you will see only 1 IMEI.
Now that you know what IMEI is all about, let’s move down to IMEI Analysing.
IMEI
analysing as the name suggest is just the act of checking whether any given
IMEI is valid or not and it is normally done with a software (app) simply known
as IMEI Analyser.
The last number in a 15 digit IMEI is
regarded as the Checking Digit and can be generated automatically by the app; it is with this last number that the IMEI analyser uses to verify the validity
of remaining 14 IMEI digits.
Using of
IMEI Analyser to analyse IMEI is very simple; and all you need to do is to
download the IMEI analyser app to your device, open the app and you will see
the space to key in the IMEI that you want to analyse, when you have put in the
IMEI, simply tab on the Analyse Button there and wait for some seconds
for feedback.
The IMEI
analyser will then tell you whether the IMEI you input appear valid or not.
Now this is how it is done if you want to easily generate a full valid IMEI from any given incomplete IMEI;
You can key in an incomplete IMEI (say the first known 11 digits) in the field provided in the IMEI analyser, and then you now add any 3 random numbers after the 11 IMEI digits, thereby making it 14 digits which is still incomplete for a full IMEI; finally, click on the Analyze tab in the IMEI Analyser and the remaining last digit to complete it 15 digits will be generated automatically for you and the full 15 IMEI digits will be displayed
Finally is IMEI tweaking; Tweaking is an English
word that means to make fine adjustment on something.
Now when you
hear of IMEI tweaking or to tweak the IMEI of a device, what that simply means
is to make a fine adjustment on the IMEI of that device either by adjusting
some of the IMEI digits or replacing the IMEI completely with another IMEI.
In the tech
world, Android device IMEI are the most tweaked because of the open source
nature of the OS and the ease it offers to manipulate such device.
When you
tweak the IMEI of a device by completely changing the IMEI to another device
IMEI, the tweaked device can behave in some ways as the device that the IMEI
was used.
Thus you
easily hear people say that they want to tweak their android IMEI to that of Blackberry IMEI.
Since we
have covered before a detailed guide on how to tweak devices (android) IMEI,
you can easily refer to it immediately above this.
We always
sound it loud and clear that IMEI tweaking of devices is prohibited in many
countries and hence you should endeavour to check whether the prohibition law
is applicable to your region before going ahead to tweak any device IMEI.
And if the
laws of your country permit IMEI tweaking then I wants to wrap up by saying,
Happy IMEI analyses and IMEI Tweaking!

sir plz I need a method to change imei of Samsung galaxy S3. l have tried different methods and find out that what it does is to mask the original imei but it doesn't actually change it...Any help will be really appreciated.
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteYes you are right, the methods available for changing Samsung IMEI only mask the IMEI and when you reboot the phone the original IMEI still comes up.
For now the only known two methods of changing Samsung IMEI is the use of the Octopus box which is not yet readily available, and the second method is the use of Chimera tool, which is also not readily available for free.
Thank you for coming and do have a great day ahead
