Once the IMEI number of your device is changed, it cannot be tracked if stolen or lost.
We strongly oppose the idea of changing IMEI number and our article is strictly for knowledge purposes.

How to Change IMEI Number?

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity; this number is allotted to every mobile device, which helps in the identification and tracking of a mobile device. In our day to day life, the IMEI number is not much use for us, but in case theft or misplacement, IMEI is the most important factor in locating a mobile device.

There are several developers and tech enthusiasts who want to change the IMEI number of their device to test certain features and applications. A mobile phone can have one or two IMEI numbers depending either it is a single sim or dual sim phone. The method of changing IMEI is different for Android and Ios. We will discuss both topics separately; let us get started.

How to Change IMEI Number of an Android Device?

Android is an open-source platform for mobile development; it is one of the most used mobile operating systems around the globe. There are several features and advantages that a person can enjoy after changing their IMEI number of an android device. But if you want to change the IMEI number of your device, the very first thing that you have to perform is to root your device to provide it with the core privilege and control.

Most of the people are familiar with rooting, but if you’re not, don’t worry below I have mentioned a quick elaboration of rooting and how you can root your android device.

What Is Rooting?

Rooting is a process wherein a device running on an android operating system bypass the limited privileges set up by the manufacturer to attain the full control (Root Access) on the phone.

Root gives a person the administrative control that aids in running several applications and programs; rooting makes your android device faster and provides several exciting features. If you are new in this field then rooting can be quite complicated for you, below I have mentioned a brief guide with the help of which you can root your android device.

Points to Keep in Mind before Rooting -:

Rooting a device voids its warranty; it means once you have rooted your device, your device warranty will get over itself.
If the procedure is not followed properly, you can be left with a bricked device stuck in a boot loop.
It is highly recommended to take a ROM backup before rooting your device so that you can restore your data if anything goes wrong.

How to Root Android Device?

To root an android device, you have to deal with many files and programs of android, which can be next to impossible for a normal person. In such a case, we can use third party applications or software to root our android devices.

How to Change IMEI Number of your iPhone

From the viewpoint of software editors and developers, IOS is a very rigid operating platform that does not allow normal people to modify its software, applications, and files. The features of an IOS device is very restricted as compared to an android device; IOS users can too change the IMEI number of their device.

Changing the IMEI number gives a new identity to your device. There are two methods of changing IMEI numbers in an IOS device jailbreak method and non-jailbreak methods, respectively. Below I have demonstrated both the methods; you can go with the one you prefer.

Change IMEI Number in iOS Device (Without Jailbreak)

Most of the iPhone users are afraid of jailbreak because to perform jailbreak is not everyone’s cup of tea. The latest method to perform jailbreak for the latest version of Ios is not known, moreover, it voids the warranty of your expensive apple device. In such a case, it is a better option to use a third-party application or software to change the IMEI number of your device.

Ziphone is a computer tool that helps to change the IMEI number of an iOS device without jailbreak, below are the steps you can follow to change the IMEI number of your iOS device using Ziphone Tool.

You can check your new IMEI number by calling *#06#*

Conclusion

IMEI is an essential ID of your smartphone, and playing it without any technical knowledge is undoubtedly stupid. I recommend not changing the IMEI number without any purpose. Also, it is subjected to as a criminal offense in several countries and, therefore, be aware of the fact that it is against the law in certain countries.

Also, share this useful information with your mates and help them to change their smartphone’s IMEI number.

What is your reason for changing the IMEI number of your device? Share your experience.

Some multiplayer games that implement the PunkBuster anti cheat system get cheaters off the server using hardware bans. It used to ban the hard disk serial number but no longer does that since there are ways to spoof and temporarily change the so-called hardcoded serial number. So now they’ve started to ban the CD-Key. Other than that, some licensing system also uses the hard disk serial number to generate a unique hardware ID which is then used to generate an external license file to activate the software.

A simple way to find your current hard disk volume serial number is to open a command prompt (Win key+R and type cmd) and then type dir. The second line shows your volume serial number for the system C partition. Type dir [driveletter:] and it will show a different serial number even if the volume is on the same physical hard drive. The volume serial number changes every time you format the partition and Windows also uses this value during activation so you can’t simply move your install from one partition to another. If your Windows has been activated using a product key from a sticker it will probably ask for the key again after a reboot and will need reactivating if you change the volume serial number on the system drive.

If you do a simple search in Google, you’ll find tons of information about to change your hard disk volume serial number, but not the real hard disk serial number that is hard coded into the hardware. Some people said that it is impossible to change it, but we will show you that there are ways to change both volume and hard coded serial numbers for your hard disk.

1. Hard Disk Serial Number Changer

There are a few free tools around capable of changing the volume serial number and one of them is called Hard Disk Serial Number Changer. The name is a bit misleading though as it doesn’t actually change the hard disk serial number but the volume serial number which is different. It works on just about any Windows operating system from 98 onward and is a standalone portable executable but does need to be run as administrator on Vista and 7.

Usage is pretty straightforward and you simply choose your drive from the drop down box, enter the new serial number and click the Change button. Do note the serial number format as mentioned in the window is made up of 8 hex characters from 0-9 and A-F split by a “-” into two groups of 4. You will then need to reboot to commit the changes.

2. VolumeID

Another useful tool to change the volume serial number is by Sysinternals called VolumeID. This tool is only usable from the command line so won’t be as quick and easy to use for some people as Hard Disk Serial Number Changer. The command line usage to change the ID of a drive volume/partition is:

volumeid [driveletter:] xxxx-xxxx

The format is again 4 hex characters, a “-” followed by another 4 hex characters. You should shut down all your running applications before using this tool and will need to reboot immediately after the changes if they are being made on an NTFS partition.

The tools above are fine for changing the serial number of a volume/partition but trying to change the serial number of the actual hard drive itself is a whole different story. These are hard coded into the hard drive itself and cannot simply be edited or altered using a piece of software. There are however, several tools around that can spoof the hard drive’s built in serial number temporarily which can hopefully fool whatever software you are trying to get round. Unfortunately a lot of these tools aren’t free and some are even approaching $100 to buy.

3. PB DownForce

There is a free tool that’s been around for quite a while called PB DownForce which is able to temporarily spoof your hard drive’s static serial number into a different random or seeded number. There is also an option to set your own predefined serial number although we were unable to get that function to work during testing. To use the program in it’s simplest form, all you have to do is start it up and click on the Start spoofing button. Make sure to run PB DownForce as administrator.

The Advanced options button shows the 3 different types of spoofing to choose, although as mentioned we couldn’t get method 3 to work as intended and it just showed a serial full of a single number. You can easily use the Stop Spoofing button and try another random number. Perform test will quickly tell what drive model name and serial has been given. The image below shows a new serial after using PB DownForce to change a hard disk serial number in the PC Wizard hardware information tool. Do note that some tools such as Speccy will still show the original serial number for the drive because they gather their data in another way, HWInfo does something different again and will show the spoofed drive as another completely new hard drive in its list.

PB DownForce was tested and worked on Windows XP and Windows 7 32-bit although it still was quite random to which machines worked and which showed no change or produced an error. 64-bit Windows is not supported in any free hard drive spoofing tools we came across. The spoofed serial will return to normal after a reboot.

There are several more hard disk serial number Spoofing tools on page 2.

About PB Downforce,

Well the Windows Service I grabbed turned out to be a .sys file, obfuscated by VMProtect(1.X).
It’s internal name, as Windows Explorer tells me, is: ‘helper.sys’. So, this means it’s a Windows Device Driver, a .sys file.
But that’s food for IDA Pro, when I’ve got the time.. :)

Regarding PB Downforce,
The executable drops a service into your %TEMP% folder, which it uses. It’s the temporary folder from Windows.
What I did was, preventing the removal of contents in my %TEMP% folder. Very interesting, now I’ve got the service DLL to tinker around with.. Let’s see if that contains a virus. :)
Windows Defender quickly picked the DLL up as ‘ Trojan:Win32/Tiggre!rfn ‘.. Could be bad..

HAL9000 Author1 year ago

Windows Defender is well known for false positives. In fact, it’s one of the worst there is.

However, tools like this will generate detections in AV software, it’s unavoidable.

Concerning PB Downforce, I got interested.

Windows operating systems based x64-bit, have KPP (Kernel Patch Protection). So the hooks on DeviceIoControl, which PB Downforce applies, are rendered useless.
If you’re on a 32-bit system, then there’s no problem for you.

Some notable strings in the PB Downforce executable are as follows, after unpacking:
IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY
SMART_GET_VERSION
SMART_RCV_DRIVE_DATA
IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS
IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY
IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest()
DeviceIoControl()
PhysicalDrive
ServiceName
PBDOWNFORCE_SERVICE

The executable file itself was packed with ASProtect, and was made with Microsoft Visual C++, with its wxWidgets.
The good news is, it does not contain a trojan.

TROJAN included at your service

Of course there isn’t, try to have a bit of common sense. Antivirus and security software obviously hates programs like these because they are essentially hacking tools.

About PB DownForce.
It is mentioned that It will spoof your hard drive’s serial number but temporarly. So you’ll need to spoof your hard drive’s serial every time you open the game and connect to that certain server you’re banned in order not to get tracked?

Chowdhury Adnan Rahman6 years ago

Hello,

PB Down Force just made my day…..Thanks a lot….You are awesome.

I’m trying to use PBdownforce on win 7 64 but I’m getting error: “communiction failed”. Any help on this ? Any other tool to spoof hdd serial on win 7 64 ?

HAL9000 Author7 years ago

As stated in the article PBDownforce doesn’t work on 64-bit Windows, we couldn’t find any free tools that do.

PBdownforce asking for password to run.

HAL9000 Author6 years ago

It’s written clearly on the download page.

Another utility which allows changing of a volume serial number is “MiniTool Partition Wizard”, what’s more it changes the whole 32 bit long serial number, not only the last 16 visible bits (8 characters).

Tom7 years ago

Sorry, my mistake – MiniTool reports Volume ID as a 8 byte (16 characters/64 bit) value, while other programs report only 4 bytes (8 characters/32 bits). Don’t know what is the leading 32 bits, but the last 32 bits is the same as reported by VOL utility.

hello! PB downforce is very useful for me but can you please tell me how to use my own serials and macs? I mean… what is the standard format? because I fill the fields with original and new serial and it doesnt work. Thank you very much!
