The short answer

Eligibility requires an owned or expressly authorized device, a supported exact model and state, an active service workflow, and a lawful restoration purpose.

What this means

A model appearing in the catalogue is a planning signal, not blanket approval. The desktop and server confirm the connected device, account, installation, current availability, and price before processing.

Use the exact on-screen status and authoritative account or organization records. Similar symptoms can have different causes, so confirm the issue before selecting a service or changing the device.

What to check

Collect accurate, minimum-necessary information first. These checks help separate the confirmed issue from a similar-looking activation, account, device, or connectivity problem.

Ownership or written service authorization
Exact model and current Android build
Original identity evidence and repair purpose
Current connected-device service availability

A safe process

Follow the steps in order and keep a customer-safe record of the decision. Stop when information conflicts or the responsible carrier, organization, device, or server reports that the request is not eligible.

1
Collect authorization and device records.
2
Check the exact model page and live catalogue.
3
Back up customer data and prepare Windows.
4
Review the connected-device decision before credits are reserved.

Lawful restoration only

IMEI guidance is for legitimate restoration of an owned or expressly authorized device. It must not be used to create a different identity, conceal loss or theft, evade finance or carrier records, or misrepresent ownership.

Review the acceptable use policy

Official reference

Platform, carrier, and Android behavior can change. Use current official documentation together with the organization or carrier responsible for the device.
