nokia n9 IMEI random erase
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi guys,
It's my first time posting here. I recently bought a nokia n9 been using two months(really geat phone), however two nights ago my phone lost it's signal. I tried to fix it by restarting my phone, then getting another sim card. After that I cleared the settings, then I cleared the device still didn't fix it. Yesterday i checked the about setting to know what version of meego I had installed (pr.1.3), however I noticed the IMEI section was blank. I dialed *#06# and the IMEI was still blank. So my question is how can I write my IMEI back into the device I still know my IMEI because I've kept the box it came in and it's written on a very small sticker on the device

the IMEI number is like the DNA or maybe the backbone of a mobile phone (GSM module, in fact)
as you noticed yourself, once that is gone not much is working any more :(
  • if you pull out the SIM "slot" / card holder & remove the SIM, is the IMEI visible there?
  • are you located in an area where N9 is/was officially sold?
  • do you have proof of (original) purchase? (not really needed, but nice to have...)
if so, bringing it to NOKIA care centre is probably your best shot :confused:

Yes, the IMEI sticker is on the phone. No, it was never sold in my region. Maybe, I have valide proof I have the original bok and an ebay invoice. I've called Nokia care in Canada and the told me the problem would be esclated and that they should call me back with in 48 hrs.
