💡 Why By-IMEI Is Revolutionary
Traditional IMEI repair and KG removal required: PC + USB cable + Download Mode + combination firmware + eToken + ADB commands + retail firmware reflash. With gsmtool by-IMEI: just the IMEI number. That's it. The server handles everything server-side. Your customer or device does not need to be anywhere near a PC.
IMEI Repair with gsmtool — Restore Your Original IMEI
Samsung devices can lose their IMEI after a bad firmware flash, failed OTA update, security patch corruption, or unauthorized modifications. When the IMEI is null (000000000000000) or corrupted, the device cannot connect to any mobile network — no calls, no SMS, no mobile data.
gsmtool's IMEI repair service restores the original factory IMEI assigned to your device. The repair is performed at the server level and is permanent — surviving factory resets, firmware updates, and carrier changes. The device behaves exactly as it did when it left the factory.

KG Lock Removal with gsmtool — KG to Completed State
Knox Guard (KG) is Samsung's cloud-connected security system that locks devices reported as lost, stolen, or with outstanding finance balances. When KG is active (Locked or Prenormal state), the device is severely restricted — no home screen access, no ADB, no flashing. For a deep dive into how KG lock works, see our KG Lock removal guide.
gsmtool's KG removal service by IMEI transitions the device's KG state to Completed permanently. This is the same result you would get from Samsung's own servers when a finance contract is fulfilled or a lost/stolen report is cleared. The result is:
- KG Status shows Completed in Download Mode
- Device boots normally to the home screen
- ADB and USB debugging become accessible
- OEM Unlock becomes available
- Flashing of official firmware is no longer blocked
- Survives factory resets, OTA updates, and network connections
- No re-lock — this is a server-level permanent change
KG Removal Pricing (By Model Series)
| Model Series | Credits (USD) |
|---|---|
| A05–A07 | $15 |
| A14–A17, A26, A36 | $20 |
| A53–A56, A73, A80 | $25 |
| S20 Series, S20 FE | $30 |
| S21–S22, Z Flip 4–5, Z Fold 4–5 | $35 |
| S23–S24, Z Flip 6–7, S24/S25 FE | $40 |
| S25, Z Fold 6–7, Fold 7 | $45 |
🚨 Prenormal Alert
If your device shows KG Status: Prenormal in Download Mode, place your KG removal order immediately. Prenormal is a temporary state before the device checks in with Samsung servers and transitions to Locked. Once Locked, KG removal may still be possible but with lower success rates. Disconnect Wi-Fi and mobile data until your KG removal order is complete.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I really not need a PC to repair IMEI or remove KG?
Correct. gsmtool's by-IMEI service is entirely server-side. You only need the device's IMEI number (dial *#06# or check Settings → About Phone). No PC connection, no USB cable, no Download Mode, no combination firmware. The server performs the repair/unlock and the device updates its status the next time it connects to any network.
Q: Is KG removal by IMEI permanent?
Yes. gsmtool's server-side KG removal transitions the KG state to Completed at Samsung's server level. The change is permanent — it survives factory resets, OTA updates, SIM changes, and network connections. This is fundamentally different from local ADB-based methods that can be reversed.
Q: How fast is the processing?
Most IMEI repairs and KG removals complete instantly — within seconds of submission. Some models may take 1–5 minutes depending on server load. You receive a status update in your order dashboard immediately upon completion.
Q: What if the service fails for my model?
If the service cannot be completed for a supported model (server issue, model temporarily unavailable), your credits are not consumed and remain in your wallet. If you submitted incorrect information (wrong IMEI, wrong model), credits may not be refundable. See our refund policy.
Q: Can I use these services for my customers as a reseller?
Yes. That is the primary use case. Resellers purchase credits at wholesale rates, set their own retail pricing, and use gsmtool services for their customers. The by-IMEI process is especially valuable for resellers — your customers do not need to visit your shop or connect to a PC. You can offer remote IMEI repair and KG removal worldwide.
Q: Does IMEI repair change my device's IMEI to a different number?
No. gsmtool restores the original factory IMEI assigned to your device. It does not change your IMEI to a different number. The service repairs corrupted or null IMEI certificates — it does not perform IMEI swapping or cloning.
Q: Will my device receive OTA updates after KG removal?
Yes. After successful KG removal to Completed state, your device functions normally — including receiving official Samsung OTA updates. The KG Completed state is the same state as a device that never had a KG lock. There are no restrictions or side effects.
