Change the Galaxy S9 IMEI Number

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identifier, and as you know it, it’s the unique code to determine if your Galaxy S9 is not forbidden or stolen by GSM networks. This tells you if your smartphone is as it should be and allows the service provider to make sure it is valid and you probably know that changing the IMEI comes with its own advantages and disadvantages.

Where the IMEI is used to trace the location of a device or find the stolen device, on the other hand it is also used to make a device untraceable by changing its IMEI number, serial number, device id, Donkeyguard number, UDID. If you convert your device’s IMEI number, you can make your handset untraceable and unreachable, fix the unpleasant invalid IMEI number problem, get an unique device ID, or reset/repair your Galaxy S9, if it’s the case and something tells me that one of these scenarios is already in your mind.

So, all that I must add is not to skip the preparatory steps before starting the actual procedure.

  • Prepare the original USB cord;
  • Also prepare your computer or laptop for the procedure.
