Hey all i have just flashed my k750 to the w800 firmware and was wondering if this changed the IMEI ? Reason i ask is my phone has stop working for some reason and im going to send it in into repair centre. I am going to flash it back to its original k750 firmware and hope that they dont realise as am i right in thinking flashing your phone void's your warranty?
