Tracking a Stolen Huawei P9 Eva-L09 Phone Even When It's Switched Off

Welcome last night from 11-12 March I was stolen from the Huawei P9 Eva-L09 phone. Is it possible to locate it when it is turned off I will add that the battery is built in and can not be removed The worst is that the potential thief could just throw this phone because he was blocked by a pin code, phone code and fingerprint. Gentlemen, you have some advice maybe there is some way to try to locate him on my own hand because the police probably after a month send me a letter about the case and so much the damage to me and the phone which I only had half a year .. Regards

You do not track off the switched off, just like you do nothing when someone skillfully restores it to the factory settings.
The police will not find either, maybe by chance they will succeed, but the chances are poor.

But if he even resets it to the settings and does a hard reset from the finger, then imei probably stays and if he turns it on with his card, are there any chances?

The phone, when checking in to the base station gives, among others SIM card number and IMEI number.
Probably he restored it to the factory settings he put his card and now he is happy.
You need to look for it after the IMEI number, if it concerns a false alarm, it would have long ago found everyone who had anything to do with this camera (also people who were called or called back and their subsequent calls) regardless of the type and number of SIM cards.
Alternatively, visit all Lombardy.

A colleague above explained everything well, I just add that after imei can be easily traced even if someone changes it because imei does not identify the device.
However, it must be a serious crime to look that way.

So there is nothing else to do but wait and count on happiness for the pawnshops I do not know if someone will accept the phone without papers stolen but the suggestion of good

Engraved on the casing that he stole?

The commissioner has an appropriate contract and no documents are required when buying a telephone.

I understand that smartphones or iPhones check in additionally, but is an ordinary Nokia 6300 handset after changing Imei and inserting a foreign Czech prepaid card e.g. to be traced? Sends something else S / N to BTS?

Such a curiosity
I accidentally changed Imei samsung to 0 and all BTS in Mazowieckie logged it on without any problem.

3 years ago I had a case in the Orange network with a stolen phone, I would like to point out that the phone was subscription-based. It was stolen, reported to the Police, I got a copy of the report and with that report, agreement and box I went to the Orange salon. There, after checking my data, the IMEI number of the phone was restricted, the operator reported the phone as stolen, and apparently after logging in even without a sim card, after switching on, a message about the theft of the phone and the number 112 appeared on the display. I will mention that the phone cost PLN 1380. Maybe for this but it is worth going in this direction. Of course, I got the phone back, the reverse unlock procedure lasted 30 minutes and I got my phone back.

If they had your subscription they had your data and you can report the theft without using the protocol.
