Mark/Raoul,
I am aware that the IMEIs can be changed using specialist software as I have a range of tools here which could do it (of course as it is illegal I have never tested them) and I know there are 'places' where this can be done for a small fee. I assume that when the tools do the job they are changing both the flash chip and the OTP as per the comments so far.
Thanks all for your time.
Nokia 6300= BB5 CANNOT be imei changed. Not possible at all!
perhaps I can check the imei in nokia warranty database. If it will not damage your case, PM me the imei number.
Also post a detailed high resolution photograph of the pcb, perhaps we can see if RAP is undefilled with epoxy glue
Hi Roul,
I have read your posts about differences in Nokia's platform and how changing imei number can effect the phone. I have a situation that smartfon Samsung SM-G35F has two diffrent imei numbers. Different from manufacturer and from internal memory. Do you have some knowledge about that model? What kind of platform it has? I mean how it is possible to change imei from internal memory and if it cause damage on the phone or it will just not work?
Looking forward hearing from you.

If you are referring to the label on the casing of the device to the one recovered via the settings or *#06#, the label is often incorrect due to the casing (rear cover) being replaced because of damage or repair work being undertaken.
