This post is for those of us that has been surfing or

some special benefits or offers from network providers, search no more for you
are at the right place.
IMEI means International Mobile Equipment Identity. An
IMEI is the unique serial number of every GSM mobile cell phone. The IMEI
number is used by networks to identify valid phones and block stolen or
blacklisted phones from accessing the network.
In most mobile communication devices, the IMEI appears on
the display when a user enters the character sequence *#06#
(star-pound-zero-six-pound) into the keypad. And also the IMEI number is
printed inside the battery compartment.
Tweaking an IMEI of a MTK device is as simple as warming
putting on your phone... because there are so many software(s) out there that
has been created for this purpose, but I will be using one of the simplest of
all for this post.
Requirements
for Changing IMEI on Android Devices
·
MTK Engineering Tool [Download HERE]
·
Your MediaTek Android Phone
Procdures
to Get Your Phone IMEI Changed
ü First
of all dial *#06# (star-pound-zero-six-pound) on your phone keypad to see the
current IMEI number you have currently.
ü Now
install and open the MTK Engineering Tool apk that you download early.
ü You
will see three different buttons there, but we will be working with just one of
them.
ü Click
on the second/middle button that displays MTK
Settings.
ü Swipe
left of your phone screen to navigate to Connectivity
Tab and click on CDS Information.
ü Click
on Radio Information if you phone is
dual Sim, you will definitely find two options.
ü Now
click on Phone 1
Options:
·
Phone 1 represents Sim 1 slot
·
Phone 2 represents Sim 2 slot
I will be using Phone
1 (Sim 1 slot) for this post, but if you wish to change both Sim slots,
then you can do so by repeating from step 7 each respectively.
ü Click
on Phone 1, here you will run into a
box which all the magic will be processed through. There in the box you will
see AT+, click in an empty space, just after the plus (+) sign.
ü Add a
space with your spacebar on your keyboard, then backspace it once, a drop list
with option will appear.
ü Select
on AT+EGMR=1,7,”” which stands for Phone 1 (Sim 1 slot).
ü Now
look carefully of the 7, from the
option you have selected early, you will see two (2) quotation signs (””), you
will be inputting your New IMEI in between the quotations signs.
ü After
typing in your 15 digits IMEI number completely, now add a Space in between T & + where you see AT+ e.g. It will look like
this AT +EGMR=1,7,”35696505XXXXXXX”.
ü Now Hit on the button that says SEND AT COMMAND below the text-box you
inputted your New IMEI number.
ü You
will get a text toast that say AT
Command is Sent: OK, that means you have successfully tweaked your IMEI
number.
ü Now
Reboot/Restart your devices and dial *#06#
(star-pound-zero-six-pound) again and see if your IMEI has Changed.
That’s all for now. Cheers❤
