Restoring or Changing your IMEI
Edit: Since it is now often used, and proven,
method 5) at the bottom may be the preferred
method
Edit2: And now the new Droid Tools (method 6) is
an even nicer tool. In fact, it may be so good, it is
not just the last, but the final Mediatek tool. See
below.
Method 1) Use RootExplorer to copy back that
backup MPOB_001 file from your external SD card
into folder /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/.
(or if that folder does not exists, maybe /nvram/
md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/.)
Afterward, set permissions to 0660 or rw-rw----
Method 1b) You can also generate your own
MPOB_001 file on a PC, using this set of programs
created by some clever russians called f_mulder &
pvsurkov, and copy that file to above location.
Generate using these commands on a PC:
Code:
imei.xxx <15digit_IMEI_1> <15digit_IMEI_2>
. Restore this file as mentioned above in Method 1)
Method 2) Restore using Mobile Uncle utility
(actually, that did not work for me)
Method 3) Install a cli terminal app, for example
Android Terminal Emulator, and enter these
commands:
(replacing IMEI_1 and IMEI_2 with the actual
IMEI of course). Please take care, the Android
keyboard will constantly try to change the
commands you are typing into 'proper' English
spelled words. Ensure the commands are as shown
below.
Code:
su
echo 'AT +EGMR=1,7,"IMEI_1"'> /dev/pttycmd1
echo 'AT +EGMR=1,10,"IMEI_2"'> /dev/pttycmd1
Method 4) If you have ADB running, the same as
above, from windows adb:
(replacing IMEI_1 and IMEI_2 with the actual
IMEI of course) If you do not know what ADB is,
then never mind, easier to use 3) above or 5)
below.
Code:
adb shell
su
echo 'AT +EGMR=1,7,"IMEI_1"'> /dev/pttycmd1
echo 'AT +EGMR=1,10,"IMEI_2"'> /dev/pttycmd1
Method 5) Install this mt6516imei.apk app, and
enter your imei numbers in there, and press write.
The reason I list this option last, even though it is
the easiest, is because the program was never
finished. Only the 'write' button works. While
working on it in 2011 my PC crashed and I lost the
source, so I never completed it. So again, only the
Write button works!
But its enough, and at moment of writing, 3 people
have used it on their phones, two reported success
(the 3rd never reporting anything, so I assume it
worked for him too, because if it had failed I am
sure he would have complained).
NIEUW: Method 6) User rua1 of the russian forum
made a very nice PC utility. You do need the
drivers for the phone installed, but MTK Droid
Root & Tools can read and re-write, amoung other,
the IMEI for Mediatek phones. If you have working
drivers, this is now the prefered method I guess,
my half-finished app demoted to when you can't
get the drivers.
If you do use this tutorial or its 'barely a program'
attachment, please leave a response, and if you
know how to find the IMEI-2 on your model
phone, post it clearly below. Thanks!
