How To Tweak Your Device

We'll be focusing on tweaking MTK devices involving the likes of Gionee,Tecno,Innjoo etc.Tweaking of devices like Samsung involves a different process which I'll try to explain some other time. 

The two apps we're going to be using are

The first step is always to ensure that you've successfully root your Android phone. You can do this by using Root Check App.Download Root Checker apk and install. 
Tap on "Verify Root".Soon you'll receive a confirmation message. Once you've successfully confirmed, proceed to the next step. If not, try rooting your device again. 

Before we proceed to the tweaking proper, I'll like to clarify some terms 

1. IMEI : This stands for International Mobile Equipment Station Identity which is unique for every device. It's more of less like the fingerprint of a device. It usually consists of 15 digits. 
2. Tweaking of IMEI: This basically means changing your device IMEI
3. MTK Engineering Mode: App that enables IMEI modification. 
4. IMEI Analyzer: helps you find last IMEI number.

Tweaking Proper

• Firstly, get the IMEI Number you wish to tweak.For this tutorial, I'll be using "866480013251092" as my IMEI.

• Copy the IMEI Number into your IMEI AnalyzerDelete the last three or four numbers .I'll be deleting the last four digits. 

• Add any three or four numbers of your choice such that the digits will be exactly 14 in number. 
• Tap on analyze,and just underneath, you'll see a 15 digit number which you'll take note of.

• Launch MTK Engineering mode.Tap on MTK settings and swipe left to connectivity. 
• Select CDS Information ---> Radio Information.Select the sim which you wish to change IMEI for. 
• At the region where there's "AT+" type in letter T then clean or backspace the letter.A list of command will be displayed underneath. Select "AT+EGMR=1,7,""

• Delete the second inverted comma such that the command will be AT+EGMR=1,7,"
• Type in the noted IMEI number followed by a closing inverted comma.
• Select "Send At Command". The response " At command is mSent" signifies success. 

• If you get a response like "This command is not allowed in user inBuilt" panic not. Just add a space between AT and + and select Send At command again. 
• To fully embed the IMEI, Restart the device or set it on Airplane mode ,then put it back on.
• You have now successfully tweaked your device. Dial *#06# to confirm your new IMEI.
