Actually the IMEI SV shows the software version that has been loaded into the phone. It has absolutely nothing to do with how many times a phone has been refurbished. I'm a professional repair technician. I think I would know. You should do your research before you panic almost everyone over the Internet.

[@zahrazara8403]

Pheonix Marketing LTD. Can i ask you

[@loseingman]

Mine shows the IMEISV 05? Is that means been used 5 times before?

[@mercury4372]

H yes bro

[@loseingman]

You sure? I went to the store today and they check the time up is 12 hours. Means new. They said

[@DreamleSs_Ritesh]

then how to know Refurbished or new..one Phoenix marketing pvt..

[@bugcharger6942]

I formatted my brand new phone it is shows IMIE SV 00 again......it's means you are saying incorrect and that numbers have nothing to do with that numbers

[@andrewdali4744]

You have right! MEI Sv is the IMEI plus software/firmware version a phone is running. It is useful when for same IMEI , different software versions needs to be updated. Example , when a phone is purchased its software version is 1, on next updates it becomes to 2. The IMEISV (IMEI Software Version), includes the 14-digit number plus two digits for the version of the device's software. (this is the right answer that I found in another site)!

[@pabitradas6745]

Exactly brother - The sv no has nothing to do with it being original or Refurbished ! Even I was shocked to see this information for one sec !

Since when was a factory reset classed as a refurbishment?

[@marcusgigliotti209]

A new phone shouldn't have been reset, I guess.

[@actualvision8513]

IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity, and SV stands for software version. IMEI SV is a 16-digit number that includes 14 digits and two software version digits. The 01 in IMEISV 01 means the software version number is 1.

[@payamfz1515]

Beware!!! Wrong info. IMEI SV has nothing to do with factory new/refurbished state.

[@khairy3484]

The easiest way is to know the warranty. If its warranty under supplier, means its refurbished and u just can only claim the warranty under the seller that u bought from. If its warranty under local manufacture, means its new and u can claim the warranty to all its agent.

[@khairy3484]

@@DeathAH depending on who you buy and ask him about the warranty or try to claim the warranty near the store near you. if possible, it means your warranty is not under the supplier

[@RonLarhz]

Not always true. Some refurbished sets could still have warranty under brand company. For example normal is 2yrs but it came with 1yr.

[@1ggyy]

you are wrong. IMEI staus 01 is normal. it shows in all phones. so not a criteria for to decide ne w phone is refurbish or not

[@preetivaid1511]

Should it be checked before putting sim or after? I checked it after putting sim and it showed 01 for me. Can u pls help to know is it previously used or new.

[@agneljoseph1]

It's not what he's saying. He's wrong.

SV stands for Software Version...it will get updated whenever new software update installed on phone.. nothing to do with refurbished and all.

I'm a developer for android. Don't pay this man any mind. The entire video is false. P1 devices and GSMA will always show a SVW as 00. P2 devices can show anywhere from 00 all through the 90s. Dont panic or make a fool of yourself at the retailer over this information. This guy needs to take this video down. He makes actual tech personal look bad with his second grade idea. Truth is, it's not easy to tell if a phone is refirb. Apple yes. It's in the SN. IPhone F means refirbished. Android, used to be in RTN menu however was disabled. There are 3rd party apps claiming to tell you, as well as online apps which request payment for the information. Those are false and more than likely will not help your case. Same as IMEI trackers. You cannot track a imei but people claim online to be able to do so for payment all the time. Don't fall for any of these.

[@DataVanKult----Crazy-Astronaut]

IMEI SV is software version this has nothing to do with refurbished or not.

[@GeekOnDaily]

if software version is not 01 then it is factory reset, which means it is used or refurbished. If it is original and brand new all sv should be 00 and 01
