IMEI ALREADY CORRUPT?
1) make a backup of item 00550 like described above and open with your favorite text editor.
2) Separate your IMEI (find it behind the battery) into blocks of two but with the first digit alone, like this-
353022050234285
=
3 53 02 20 50 23 42 85
3) Now add an "A" after the first digit then reverse the two numbers in all the other blocks, then add a 08 to the beginning. Like this-
3 53 02 20 50 23 42 85
=
08 3A 35 20 02 05 32 24 58
4) Now replace the first nine values in the NV block with your converted IMEI and save the text document.
5) Write the NV back to the phone and then reboot.
