I don't know man, I think that mobile operators identify users with simcards.
Maybe say something more about your situation.

You need a HyperTerminal or other Terminal app that can connect to modem on COM port and run AT commands.
1. Connect phone by USB (phone should be on normally)
2. Enter 3845#*970# in dialer
3. Select Port Settings -> Select CP USB
4. Start hyperterminal, in COM settings select same port like in devide manager -> LGE mobile USB Serial Port, 115200bps
5. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number
6. Type at%imei, it should display your current IMEI
7. Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x , where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number
8. Change again from CP USB -> AP USB
8. Restart
You should know that in many countries changing IMEI is illegal!

i cant do it coz i recieved unknown device alert when selected CP USB

i recieve error when pressing enter after typing the right IMEI.
What should i do?
sorry
i didn't type ","
everything is perfect now.
Thanks
p.s. i used "tutty" instead of "hyperterminal" cause of windows 7

i cant do it ....coz when i go to ur 2nd step ....it says coonection problem or invalid MMI code
P.S my IMEI is not displaying after flashing CM7 ...and i seriously want it back :|

Help rebuild imei after smartflesh tool. Now installed Zeus 2.2 + Hidden menu pack. In "Port settings" i have only three points: "Diag setting" "USB Switching" "Data Setting". "Select CP USB" - I do not have.
--
update: Found a shift in the "AP CP USB Switchings". Now another problem, I do not see the printed text in HyperTerminal. If i tape "at" blind to dial and press enter, see the corresponding OK.
---
In the blind well replaced. Thank you.

This was successful as if by magic!
Was really helpful, thank you.

I have the same exact problem and don't know what to do about it. I don't think you can get root as that's not really a terminal??
EDIT: i just got it to work. 2 things I did differently 1) turned off airplane mode. 2) didn't change the baud rate setting to match the one in the lg mobile modem details. probably airplane mode was the problem though . Also, I used the commas, but not one at the end.

Hello.
thanks, it work perfect.
Thanks for your help.

How about trying another USB port? Or maybe another PC, if you have the chance, to use another one

IMEI ****

hi i have cm 7.1 and restore it to stock

1. Connect phone by USB
2. Enter 1809#*990# in dialer
3. Select Port Settings -> Select CP USB

8. Reset
step 1 2 3 is good and de rest i dont understand what i must do , cam some one help me ?
Hyper terminal is a tool normally pre-installed in windowsXP windows2000 etc allowing you to communicate raw data to a device via a COM port. (In the old days it could be used to connect to dialup modems etc which were plugged in via RS232 ports). I dont think it comes pre installed on windows 7 by default so you may need to manually install it.
In Win XP it can normally be found Start Menu -> All Programs -> Communications -> Hyper terminal or found here C:\Program Files\Windows NT\hypertrm.exe*
*Assuming you installed this windows component when windows was installed.
Hope this helps - good luck
Seem like one who doesn't know about Seagate Barracuda problems
Simply that's the last time i used one... just google the problem, and where the solution is should also be hyperterminal zips around there to for newer OS.
PUTTY should also work...

[Q] CP

I played around with smartflash yesterday and i checked the 'erase entire cp' which will erase my imei , thinking that it would unlock me full market access because the play store checks the imei to determine the country restrictions . when the phone booted up, it showed a strange korean message which i could not read and the only english letters were 'CP' . i think that had to do with me checking the 'erase entire cp'. now,where ever i go there is no signal , i think my phone is blacklisted because it did not have a imei . is there any way to flash a imei to my phone ?
Well I had to do this when my phone got security error. I found a tutorial in XDA, sorry I'm at school so I can't search it for you but I had to use Hyperterminal (try to Google : restore imei hyperterminal xda).
EDIT : What is strange is that my network was working fine and no strange message was showing, not like you.

Thank you !!!!!!!! but not at computer right now , can't do it
The tutorial did not explain clearly , i cannot find COM settings in hyperterminal and what i type in hyperterminal would not show up . hyperteminal would not detect my device , it only detected COM 17(my phone) in S/W Upgrade Mode .PLEASE HELP , i don't want to spend money buying another phone or go to the service center
So, you need to switch usb mode from AP to CP from hidden menu 3845#*970#. Then when you create a new connection choose com 24 or smth like that. it will work! just try more.

I now know what caused the problems! It was because i did not disable my sim security before i flashed the ics rom so my phone doesn't recognises the umts network after i flashed it .But after i flashed another gb rom, the problem becomes like pemanent or some sort of thing...............phone still cannot call........The problem most likely had to do with one of the ics roms and part of the problem should be of the 'erase entire cp' thing

not registered on network

Hi
I have recently updated the firmware on my n7000 from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 and ever since I have not been able to make calls or go on internet
Network - unknown
Service state - Out of service
Mobile network state - Disconnected
Next to my battery icon top right of my phone I do have 4 signal bars which change from time to time displaying 2 or 3 or 4
the MD5's I have tried using ODIN are
N7000XXLRI_N7000OXXLP8_N7000XXLRB_HOME.tar.md5
N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_N7000XXLRB_HOME.tar.md5
Vodafone have confirmed it is NOT blocked by IMEI
What can I do to determine if it is infact blocked by EMEI
Thanks
EFC
you can check your emei, in your phone, settings, about phone, then status. Is it the same as when you bought phone?
you can check your apn settings, are they as provider prescribes?
When reboot does your phone ask for sim pin?

No sim pin
How do I check emei and apn??, is it a classic sign of emei block when not registered on network??
nope if phone doesnt ask you to authenticate sim pin, then it wont register on network.
Fix is easy, try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25953317
Added how to check emei, dial *#06#, is another way. If its original, see behind battery then thats not issue.
Apn, I'll go into that after you tried Lance Uppercuts method and rebooted
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
I found the apn settings and enabled use packet data, data roaming, clicked on access point names and ha 1 listed which is 3 so i selected that
network mode is set to gsm\wcdma auto mode
network operators.........searching........for ages!! then i get
3
3
vodafone uk
02 - uk
t-mobile uk
clicking on either of the 3 networks says........unable to connect try again later
switch data roaming off, youbmight get extra costs. Apnbsettings should match your providers.
If lances method didnt work after reboot, see post above, delete apn, reboot, register on your mobile network, check apn with providers, or have provider resend it. Some times you can do this yourself from providers website

i have to be rooted to follow this, wat is quickest method i dont have a sd card installed
- Download "Terminal Emulator" app from market
- open it
- type into the command:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
Go to home, force close your terminal app, shut your screen off, and when your turn it back on your lock screen should be there.
Obviously you must be rooted the "su" command.
can someone pliz elaborate on typing su into the command
i have /$ when i type su it shows
/$su
The selected command does not exist
just download the one with busybox and try to install it from stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841288
use update zip option and save it on internal sd Should be pickable.
Remember your on unsafe kernel, dont wipe factory reset at all.
Getting into recovery is tricky: switch off phone, immediately
volume up, home button and power button at the same time keep pressed and after reboot its in recovery mode. Navigate with volume buttons and confirm selection with power button

Downloaded it and installed as you said
The program Terminal Deluxe tells me that it has been granted super user permission when I start it
But it still says...
/$su
The Selected command does not exist
I am simply typing the first line "su" straight after the "/$"
Is this correct?
Just to add more info
I put a Vodafone SIM into this phone and it got an E data connection but no calls
Whereas when I put my 3 SIM card in I get no data or calls
Does this give any clues????
press 'enter' on your Note's keyboard... Everytime you type something on the Terminal Emulator app, you have to press enter after.. (just like what you would normally do on Windows Command prompt (DOS) mode option.

I dont have an ENTER key on my note keyboard, I do have a DONE button which is what I am pressing
if pressing DONE accomplishes the same process of executing the command 'SU' then that's all good still.
So where you able to execute the other command after 'su'?

EDIT: i got tutty, com 4 and 5 dont work only com3 works, com3 command"at%imei" gives me error, and the phone switches from cp image download to cp usb
I have the same problem only my phone never lets me type anything at all into putty, but just like you no new device shows and it always goes back to cp usb.
I also cannot flash the phone unless using CWM. If I try to flash kdz or bin I always get stuck at waiting for IFX modem, if I try using the official lg mobile updater it the install always hangs at 15% and I get message saying phone is no longer connected to pc.
You open Tutty on your PC
