Salam Guys!

Yesterday a friend of mine brought a phone LG v20! which he said its from Dubai. It has a weird issue! its IMEI is changed somehow! and it dont accept any sim card. When I put the sim card in it! it shows the sim tool kit app, but no network no signals. I tried to unlock the boot loader and flashed the Stock ATT rom on it! but it didnt help.

I checked the IMEI which phone display in its settings, online that IMEI is from a LG V10, and when I removed the battery and checked the IMEI on its sticker Its different and its from LG V20.

Anyone have some idea how I can recover its IMEI and make the sim work? :confused:

It was probably a stolen phone, original IMEI was blacklisted as a result of that, and the previous owner changed the IMEI.

Now, due to DIRBS, the current and previous IMEI will probably not be in PTAs database if the phone hasn't been used in Pakistan before.

In which case, nothing much you can do.

Seems like a common issue with V20s:

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there 🤦‍♂️

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
