FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this IMEI repair method truly free?
Yes, the method outlined in this guide, using the Gsm6 Pixel 6 Series Toolkit, is provided as a free solution to repair IMEI and CPID issues on your Google Pixel 6, 6a, or 6 Pro.
Is modifying my phone’s IMEI legal?
This is a critical legal consideration. Modifying an IMEI number may be illegal in many regions. You must confirm and comply with your local laws and regulations before attempting any IMEI alteration. This guide is for educational purposes for devices you legally own.
Will unlocking the bootloader void my phone’s warranty?
Yes, unlocking the bootloader will almost always void your device’s warranty with Google. If your device needs future repairs, Google or authorized service centers may refuse service under warranty.
Will I lose my data during this process?
Yes, unlocking the bootloader will wipe all user data from your device. It’s crucial to back up all important data (photos, contacts, apps, etc.) before starting Step 1.
What is the devinfo.img file, and why is it modified?
The devinfo.img file is a special partition on your Pixel device that stores important factory-provisioned information, including your device’s IMEI and other unique identifiers (like CPID). Modifying this file with the correct data is how the tool injects the new/repaired IMEI.
What is CPID, and why does it need fixing?
CPID stands for “Chip ID” or “Component ID.” It’s another unique identifier linked to your phone’s hardware. Issues with CPID, often alongside IMEI problems, can affect network connectivity and device recognition. Fixing it ensures your phone’s identity is correctly recognized.
Which Google Pixel models are supported by this method?
This specific method and the Pixel 6, 6a, pro cpid tool is designed for the Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, and Pixel 6 Pro. For Pixel 7,8 & 9 series (all models) you can follow this guide.
What if my phone gets stuck on the Google logo after flashing?
If your phone gets stuck on the Google logo (bootloop), it might be due to an active slot change (A or B). Try changing the active slot in Fastboot Mode. You might need to re-flash the correct factory image or follow specific troubleshooting for Google Pixel boot errors on GSM6.com.
Can this method fix a “null IMEI” or “IMEI 0000” error?
Yes, this method is specifically designed to address and fix “IMEI 0000” or “null IMEI” issues that can appear after software updates or other system corruption on Pixel 6 series devices.
Do I need any special drivers for my computer?
Yes, you will need the correct ADB and Fastboot drivers for your Google Pixel device installed on your Windows PC. These are often included with Android SDK Platform-Tools or can be installed via programs like 3uTools or by updating drivers manually in Device Manager.
Is the Gsm6 Pixel 6 Series Toolkit easy to use for beginners?
While the tool aims to simplify the process, performing IMEI repair and bootloader unlocking requires a basic understanding of fastboot commands and Android device flashing. Beginners should follow the video guide on Learn With AM very carefully.
What Android versions are supported for this fix?
This method is primarily aimed at Google Pixel 6 series devices running Android 14, Android 15, and even the latest Android 16 builds, as new updates can sometimes cause IMEI issues.
Can I relock the bootloader after performing the IMEI repair?
Yes, after confirming that your IMEI and CPID are fixed, you can relock the bootloader. However, be aware that relocking the bootloader will perform another factory reset and wipe your data. Always ensure the device is fully functional before relocking.
Where can I download the Gsm6 Pixel 6 Series Toolkit?
You can often find download links for the Gsm6 Pixel 6 Series Toolkit on the GSM6.com website or through links provided in the Learn With AM YouTube video tutorial. Always download from trusted sources to avoid malware.
What if I enter the wrong IMEI numbers?
Entering incorrect IMEI numbers can lead to network problems or other device issues. It’s critical to use the original IMEI numbers from your phone’s box or SIM tray to ensure proper functionality and legality.
Does this process involve rooting my Pixel device?
No, this process primarily involves unlocking the bootloader and flashing a specific partition (devinfo.img). While an unlocked bootloader is a prerequisite for rooting, this guide itself does not perform a full root of your device.
Can this fix “Your Device is Corrupt” errors?
Unlocking the bootloader and flashing correct system images can sometimes resolve “Your Device is Corrupt” errors. The linked resources on GSM6.com might offer more specific guidance for that particular error.
Why is it important to have the “original IMEI from the box”?
Using the original IMEI ensures that your phone’s unique identification remains consistent with its official records. This is vital for network recognition, warranty status (if applicable), and avoiding potential legal issues associated with duplicated or false IMEI numbers.
How long does the entire IMEI repair process take?
The entire process, including unlocking the bootloader, modifying, and flashing, can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on your technical comfort level and how smoothly each step proceeds.
What if I’m not a professional technician?
If you are not an experienced mobile technician, it is highly recommended to watch the full video guide on the Learn With AM YouTube channel multiple times before attempting this. Proceed with extreme caution, understanding all risks, or seek help from a qualified expert.
