Some devices had a tool that allow the owners to change the IMEI!Someone know if there is something similar for Padfone?Semo of us needs that for unlock the bootloader inasmuch Asus don't take care of its consumer.Thanks to all!

I guess it's possible if you root the device and use some app that temporarily changes the sw emei?

I know that is illegal but on my Padfone case there is my original IMEI and if they don't change it in their servers is not our fault.There are too many people with the MB changed.They change MB for everything.I think Asus was a serious company but tha matter of fact is that they aren't.

Asus isn't a serious company, that's why I'm getting a new phone, for your problem I don't think you will be able to find a solution...
Sorry for that

try to register your device on the device tracker site.
www.devicetracker.asus.com
when you enter your phone's serial number does it accept it?
just found out about this site a couple of days ago, and guess what, it doesn't accept mine although the serial number remains the same..

i just hunged up the phone with the greek asus support and the guy (really helpfull by the way) is gonna contect the service center AGAIN giving them this information too.
earlier i recieved a email from them that i replied in the same manner, but i though i should contact them them directly too.

p.s i agree that ASUS is not a serious company..

I tried to tell them that the device tracker didn't work!But first they didn't know there is the Device Tracker(LOL)and second they say that Asus didn't give software support(????)but only hardware support! @Kostas can you give me a PM with the e-mail for trying to contact Asus Greece please?Asus Italy is a complete disaster!!I hope someone at Asus read all this!!

00800441420445555 it's toll free
try that but i would prefer if you didn't mention me.
just explain them that you don't get support from ASUS ITALY, that should be enough if they can get involved

You won't be able to do that without soldering, ane you need to know what you do for this...
There is surely some kind of maintenance mode for engineer, but I don't have any information on that, and I am maybe wrong...

On a stock android you must write on the EEPROM with Terminal Emulator...And any program that made the backup of the IMEI made the same.The problem is understanding how it work and where it write...
