The websites like Priceoye etc sells repacked / activated devices, what if they also patch a device with another dead phone of same model, we usually verify the imei on PTA's website whether it's legal, but in the aforementioned case, PTA would also call it PTA Compliant device and show same model. So there're many ways to cheat, they don't allow us to open box, otherwise it can be checked by formatting device.
Formating the device doesn't remove the IMEI since its been done via EFS/NVRAM partition or CERT in case of Samsung.

Guys my brother is using Oneplus 8 5G UW which is PTA Patached off course but stuck on Andoird 11. There any several OTA updates available but as the phone is patched so it's a bit risky to update to the latest Android. Does anyone try to update?

Depends on the method it was patched, If it is a hacky method like rooting it and changing QCN then it cannot be updated, if it is was patched via UMT tool then it can be updated.

If its already rooted then backup QCN file and update it if it fails then downgrade and restore the QCN file to regain the "PATCH"

DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Bro I have one Plus 9 Pro which was patched, I have updated the device to Android 13, and now signals showing crossed! can u help me guys?
Always take a nandroid backup of your IMEI/QCN before upgrading And have you checked your IMEI by dialing *#06#? It its empty/null then you're out of luck, You have to get it done from market.

Also try to go back to stock by flashing android 13 firmware, You can find guides at XDA.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
