He can nigger a phone and unban it by flashing your IMEI.

I read about that, but apparently it's almost impossible on GSM?

>>57138295
I'm the actual owner, I have a proof of purchase, if he locks mine, can I just get it unlocked at my provider?

Bump??

>>57138328
do you think your provider would actually care if you claim that you got a "proof" which could be just stolen? because for them, cloning an IMEI is not an option someone could do ;------) you clearly fucked up

Cloning has been shown to be successful on CDMA, but rare on GSM. However, cloning of a GSM phone is achieved by cloning the SIM card contained within, but not necessarily any of the phone's internal data. GSM phones do not have ESN or MIN, only an International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. There are various methods used to obtain the IMEI. The most common methods are to hack into the cellular company, or to eavesdrop on the cellular network.

A GSM SIM card is copied by removing the SIM card and placing a device between the handset and the SIM card and allowing it to operate for a few days and extracting the KI, or secret code. This is normally done with handsets that have the option of an "extended battery" by placing the normal size battery in the handset and the KI in the now vacant extra space. This is done by allowing the device to log the interaction between the mobile telephone switching office and the handset.

Don't listen to the /g/tards, unless they already have your simcard/phone, they can't clone it or do anything malicious. The worst they can do on is report your phone stolen and inconvenience you until you get it unlocked.
