How to Change the IMEI Number on Your BraX3

@plamen I saw another reference that this is not working under iodéOS, has anyone actually successfully reset IMEI?

My situation: in trying different test builds, etc. with SPFlash, I accidentally wiped my IMEI. I have them listed in a text file. When using the tool (W10 64bit, firewall disabled, newest driver installed - I even installed W10 on a spare laptop just for this :-), I do the following:

  • Start the Tool V1.2463.0.0 (as listed from “Help > About”
  • Set settings as described.
  • Click start, entering IMEI 1 and 2, and “OK”
  • Output: it says “Start searching preloader com port and handshake…”
  • Plug in powered-off phone, it does detect and display “META MODE” at bottom for a second
  • Output: it says “Start searching kernel com port and handshake…” and just stays there. No more progress.
  • After another minute or so, it goes back to the IMEI entry window (both are empty). No “FAIL”, no nothing. Just sort of “gets stuck”.
  • I found in the logs, C:\SN Writer\, this message:
ERROR: SP_BROM::SP_GetUSBCOMPortWithFIlter(): enum kernel comport fail(1042). (SPexc.cpp:1060)

Possibilities / Questions:

  • The link to the specific SN Writer tool download doesn’t work for me. I just got the “newest version”, V1.2463.0.0 (as listed from “Help > About”
  • Should be bootloader be unlocked? I have tried both ways, I think the same errors :frowning:
  • Other ideas?
