WARNING!! Your IMEI Can Be Changed!
Hi guys, got my N95 back from NSC yesterday.
Only the back light wasnt working, but It was due to water damage and they had to replace the motherboard.
**I "selectively disinformed" them and didnt mention it was due to water so i didnt have to pay a penny**
Anyway, after they changed my motherboard my IMEI was changed as well. That means my Symbiansigned Cert and other software i bought that is loced to my IMEI now have to be renewed. I never thought this was possible but apparently now i'm faced with signing a dozen files all over again. (maybe i'll just hack my phone instead)
So ppl just to let you know your IMEI is not permanent. God knows what else can happen if you take your phone to unauthorised repair shops..

Being as your Motherboard was changed, thats like changing the engine of a car, so its bound to have a different number, like a replacement engine has a different number to the originally fitted engine. (Engine/Motherboard used as examples only lol)

Of course your IMEI will be different if the motherboard is changed. Should not be a surprise to anyone IMO  .

To be honest, if they chaned the MB, I would be more surprised if the IMEI didn't change.

Wouldn't that kinda nail your warranty? And isn't it also sort of, illegal too? (could be wrong)
I know what you are saying DJFlawless, it's for an innocent reason and the old IMEI is probably in a bin somewhere in the NSC now, but....
Hey! Did you change your name?

ironically the mother board is actually called "engine module " within nokia engineering ! When they changed it they basically do a swap unit so the handset id will change

Yeah I did change my name! lol I am slowly reaching my 18th birthday and I have decided it is time to grow up. My real name is Steve and DJ_FlawLess is just an old screen name with so many childish problems and activities I don't care to mention.
So as time goes past I age as all do and I decided it would be nice to be a little more mature with my screen names and maybe a little more business like.

No, you can't do it with NSS.

Ok, now i feel like i'm the one living in the dark all this while. Signing is a real problem though since opda's website is down and symbiansigned is no longer open to the public. i just hacked my phone today and everything is working fine. :-)
