Good afternoon, warm regards. On this occasion I'm reaching out to see if you can help me with something I've been working on. For some time now I've been trying to modify the IMEI code of Android smartphones that have Qualcomm processors. I've made quite a bit of progress, but honestly the results haven't been what I expected. I was looking around the forum and saw that a user requested something similar, except they needed it to unlock an IMEI, and from what I understood that is not ethical and so they were told so here. In my particular case, I need it at a knowledge level, and also to share with you information that I've learned over time. The idea of the forum is to share, not just ask and leave. I should contact the moderators of this sub-forum to see if I can make a post explaining how to carry out the procedure I'm requesting, but on smartphones with Mediatek processors. <br /><br /><br />I'll briefly explain the procedures I've been doing. To begin, most users of this forum know the meaning of the IMEI in phones, we know it's a unique code for each device and we also know how important it is for its functionality with Network Operators. Motivated by this, I set myself the task of investigating how to manipulate it. In the case of smartphones with Mtk (Mediatek) processors the process is simple and there are countless Tools that allow us to perform this process. Below, I'll detail in summary form the procedure for these devices:<br /><br />1.- As an indispensable requirement, the phone must have a Mediatek chip.<br />2.- The device must be Rooted, in order to access the internal file system.<br />3.- Have the preloader drivers corresponding to the device whose IMEI change or restore will be done installed.<br /><br /> The procedure consists of rooting the device. For this, we have several options, with Apk's or with PC software:<br /><br />1.- Iroot Los enlaces son solo para miembros. Registrate o iniciá sesión.<br />2.- Kingoroot Los enlaces son solo para miembros. Registrate o iniciá sesión.<br />3.- Kingroot Los enlaces son solo para miembros. Registrate o iniciá sesión.<br />4.- Framaroot Los enlaces son solo para miembros. Registrate o iniciá sesión.<br /> There are many more applications, these are the best known.<br />After rooting the device, we'll proceed to download the following tool:<br /> Mtk Droid & Tools Los enlaces son solo para miembros. Registrate o iniciá sesión.<br />And finally install the corresponding drivers of the device in question. In the case of Mediatek, there is a driver installer that covers most Mediatek devices, Los enlaces son solo para miembros. Registrate o iniciá sesión.<br /><br />USB Debugging options must be enabled on the device, and when opening the software it will look like this:<br /><br />
Los enlaces son solo para miembros. Registrate o iniciá sesión
<br /><br />In Mtk Droid Tools, locate the button that says ROOT, the yellow box will change to Green. At that moment we are already root inside the device. Next press the IMEI/NVRAM button, and then a little window like the following will open:<br /><br />Los enlaces son solo para miembros. Registrate o iniciá sesión
<br /><br />Add the IMEI or the IMEIs in case it's dual sim, and press the Replace IMEI button. The software will reboot the device, and when it starts, you'll be able to see the new IMEI. To confirm this, press *#06#.<br /><br />Note: the procedures explained here were done under a Windows environment.<br /><br />Greetings from Venezuela
