Samsung A54 update and IMEI issues

[Nuruddin sarker]

I bought a samsung galaxy A54 device from aliexpress few days back. While i check the about device, I found 15 digit IMIE number and checked online and matched. But while I checked today IMIE number the 15 digit all are 0.

Also the device showing modified and unable to update from phone but it's android 14 version 8/256GB.

 There are many apps I'm unable to download or unable to used to the security issues specifically bank apps.

Suggest me above issues. 

Thank you in advance

@Nuruddin sarker  I would suggest returning the device for a refund.

Send back for refund. All 0's means a serious hardware or software problem.

Since it's from AliExpress, I'm a little skeptical about your phone. Return it as others said.

I'm thinking about this. Already contacted to seller and he offer sent the device that he will send another gadget for me.

IMIE issue is now OK. ImIE is showing after restart the device but bank apps are still not suppprt due to device is modified.
