Repair and fix IMEI MT6752, MT6732, MT6753 64-bit SoC phones as well as IMEI on MTK / MediaTek MT6589 MT6589T MT6592 MT6595 MT6572 MT6582 MT6577 MT6516 phones,
This tutorial will show you several ways to repair the invalid IMEI on an MTK / MediaTek phone. We’ll start with one of the easiest. It requires a simple app install, a few taps and one line command.
Before we start, download the engineer app, install and run.
Select Engineer Mode
Select Engineer Mode MTK
Select CDS Information from the Connectivity tab
Select Radio Information
Select the SIM you wish to change the IMEI on
At the AT+ line for SIM 1, enter AT+EGMR=1,7,”THE-FIRST-IMEI-NUMBER”. For SIM 2, enter AT+EGMR=1,10,”THE-SECOND-IMEI-NUMBER”. Of course where the words are, you will enter a number.
NOTE: Do not forget the quotes surrounding the number
NOTE: If you get an error regarding “this command not allowed in user build”, then put a space after AT, so it reads for example AT +EGMR=1,7,”THE-IMEI-NUMBER”
For step #6, you should enter the IMEI from the box of your phone or information under the battery. In some cases, a dual SIM phone will have the same IMEI for both SIM slots.
In the case that your carrier doesn’t allow this, or if you have some other reason you need to change the stock IMEI, you may need to generate / calculate / find a new IMEI with the correct checksum / check digit on your MTK6589 MTK6589T MTK6592 MTK6595 MTK6572 MTK6582 MTK6577 MTK6516 phones. To do so, follow the instructions in this post at the forum.

I have a Star N9500 (malware/spyware/virus free from day one, incidentally) and just performing a factory reset wipes the imei numbers, requiring them to be flashed from backup using the method above.
Another method I used previous to this one required a program called “droid tools” which allows each imei to be entered manually. Like the method above, a reboot is required for the change to take effect.
But why does this imei loss happen in the first place? I’m a serial tinkerer and enjoy any opportunity to fool around with my phone. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve flashed a new rom or opened it up to have a look at the components. Like many other owners, I’ve fallen foul of the inevitable cracked screen on my N9500 due to the glass not being toughened. But unlike the vast majority of those unfortunate owners, I have simply ordered and fitted a replacement rather than suffer on. But when it comes to the internal rom on these phones, I am clueless when it comes to the actual android modifications made to the custom roms I’ve installed. Almost all of these are customised versions of roms which have shipped with other Chinese phones with the same chipset or merely with a new skin applied. But each rom comes its own unique coding bugs, leading to hardware component failure, such as gps not working etc. And, of course, the imei loss.
Needless to say, I have always reverted to the rom which shipped with the phone as it just seems to work much better than any custom version. But the imei loss always remains even after reverting to the factory rom or flashing an nvram backup. So something fatal has to have happened for this to occur. It would be nice for the manufacturers to say what causes this and how it can be permanently repaired. But they seem to court anonymity with none ever issuing so much as an update.

The file MP0B_001 in /nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ (unaffected by factory reset) and /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ (replaced with previous after factory reset) gets wiped out. This file stores the IMEI in MediaTek-based phones.

You may need to restore the NVRAM. In that case, you will need someone else with the same phone to do a NVRAM backup for you with MTK Droid Tools.
Also a full factory flash of the stock firmware may have the NVRAM included.

That’s a very old android version. Things may be different for phones that old.
You can try to enter through Mobile Uncle.
Also there are some good MT6582 1GB RAM KitKat 4.4.2 phones available for <$90 shipped. No offense, but you might consider upgrading.

I bought Goophone S4 Mini Smartphone Air Gesture controls Android 4.2 OS MTK6572 Dual Core 4.3 Inch Screen
The specs claim it to be 1.2 GHZ. It’s really a 1.0 GHz
I get invalid IMEI on almost every code. I did a factory reset. That doesn’t work. The system files that I had edited are still exactly the same as I edited them, after doing a reset.
It has android 4.2.2. I was so let down by android. I find it to be under developed and actually pretty lame.
The phone is always out of room. The sdcard is always “damaged” and has to be formatted, so keeping stuff on this phone is a joke.
Send more than 50 texts and it is out of room
Install more than 5 apps its out of room.
I’m not a big phone person. I ran an iPhone 3GS up till 2 weeks ago, but today, I put my old sim card back in my 3GS and am happy again. It might be old, but it works and has never run out of room.

Hi,
After entering new IMEI # in Step 6, how to save it. I am wondering how to save the new IMEI number in Engg mode. Please help. Hitting on Engineer Mode – Engineer Mode (MTK) – Connectivity(Tab) – CDS Information – Radio Information – Phone 1 – AT+ to AT+EGMR=1,7,”New IMEI#” – SEND AT COMMAND(Button)
Getting the message “This command is not allowed in UserBuild” … and old IMEI stays.
Pls hlp.

Did you follow the entire tutorial? Rooted and got root shell permissions through MTK Droid Tools? If so, and it still failed then yes you will need NVRAM restore or MAYBE a full factory ROM update.
You will have to find the stock factory ROM for your phone. I can’t help you there, you’ll need to find it yourself. That may not fix your issue though. You may need NVRAM backup. No, you normally can’t use NVRAM from a different model phone, but you can try if all else fails. Good luck.

I have a IOCEAN X8, I lost the second IMEI.
I tried to add it with MTK ENGINEERING but gives me the error “This command is not allowed in UserBuild”. The Android version is 4.4.2
Does anyone know how to add it?

can i use this method for Oppo Neo R831? the invalid imei happen when i change the handphone to a custom rom.
sammy samPublic CommentUsercan i use this method for Oppo Neo R831? the invalid imei happen when i change the handphone to a custom rom.
If the phone is rooted which I guess it is with the new rom
plug it in and open with the flash tools with the MTKdroidTools.application found at two or three levels into the unzipped file and it should allow the code to be put back in
make sure your root program (super user allows external application commands)

You need to reboot the phone after issuing the command. If it still doesn’t work, you’ll likely need to restore NVRAM.

Hi Damian, do you know if the serial number of the device can be recovered ?? in my mistake flashing the original rom i accidentally erased all core info like imei, nvram, mac adress etc etc, so allso my serial number has been wiped. I am now concuering problems installing apps so i am guessing it has something to do with the erased serial.. is it linked to the imei numbers ?? (the box where the phone came in is not damaged, but the sticker wich holds the serial number is torn apart)
thanks for your opinion

Ok I can’t reply with many lines. I will try to enshort the post:
My solution, in two videos recorded rightnow by me:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gvwbxezukakr3p8/AADsMTwVGugLi_Gno6jRzAKNa?dl=0
1. Download IMEIGEN from here (look for a download link, i cant paste it)
2. UNZIP it.
3. Execute imeigen.exe
4. A Green text console is opened. Then WRITE “Y” (YES)and INTRO
5. Console ask you for IMEI 1. write it and INTRO
6. Console asks you for IMEI 2. write AGAIN the same for YOUR SECOND IMEI, if you got 2 SIM CARDS. If just got 1 sim, write the same imei.
7. The console creates Two more files in the folder where the “imeigen.exe” is. The imei generated is “IMEI.BAK”.
8. VERY IMPORTANT: RENAME THAT FILE TO “MP0B_001”.
9. NOW YOU SWITCH YOUR PHONE TO PC IN FILE TRANSFER MODE, OR USE ANY METHOD TO PUT THAT FILE IN THE “DVRAM” FOLDER OF YOUR PHONE, THIS IS, GO TO your device = “\data\NVRAM\md5\NVRAM\NVD_IMEI
10. You will see also the file “MPOB_001”, in that folder NVD_IMEI , so now you have to RENAME THAT FILE TO: “MPOB_001_OLD” and leave it there.
11. FINALLY you go to your PC , take the NEW RENAMED “MPOB_001” born thanks to IMEIGEN.EXE and locate IT in the mentioned folder, NVD_IMEI.
AFTER THIS, if you did everything OK, restart your phone. BINGO.

pls bhai bta na yaar how?????
adil shahPublic CommentUserpls bhai bta na yaar how?????I have a Star N9500 (malware/spyware/virus free from day one, incidentally) and just performing a factory reset wipes the imei numbers, requiring them to be flashed from backup using the method above.
Another method I used previous to this one required a program called “droid tools” which allows each imei to be entered manually. Like the method above, a reboot is required for the change to take effect.
But why does this imei loss happen in the first place? I’m a serial tinkerer and enjoy any opportunity to fool around with my phone. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve flashed a new rom or opened it up to have a look at the components. Like many other owners, I’ve fallen foul of the inevitable cracked screen on my N9500 due to the glass not being toughened. But unlike the vast majority of those unfortunate owners, I have simply ordered and fitted a replacement rather than suffer on. But when it comes to the internal rom on these phones, I am clueless when it comes to the actual android modifications made to the custom roms I’ve installed. Almost all of these are customised versions of roms which have shipped with other Chinese phones with the same chipset or merely with a new skin applied. But each rom comes its own unique coding bugs, leading to hardware component failure, such as gps not working etc. And, of course, the imei loss.
Needless to say, I have always reverted to the rom which shipped with the phone as it just seems to work much better than any custom version. But the imei loss always remains even after reverting to the factory rom or flashing an nvram backup. So something fatal has to have happened for this to occur. It would be nice for the manufacturers to say what causes this and how it can be permanently repaired. But they seem to court anonymity with none ever issuing so much as an update.

In that case, you will need someone else with the same phone to do a NVRAM backup for you with MTK Droid Tools.
Also a full factory flash of the stock firmware may have the NVRAM included.

The specs claim it to be 1.2 GHZ. It’s really a 1.0 GHz
I get invalid IMEI on almost every code. I did a factory reset. That doesn’t work. The system files that I had edited are still exactly the same as I edited them, after doing a reset.
It has android 4.2.2. I was so let down by android. I find it to be under developed and actually pretty lame.
The phone is always out of room. The sdcard is always “damaged” and has to be formatted, so keeping stuff on this phone is a joke.
Send more than 50 texts and it is out of room
Install more than 5 apps its out of room.
I’m not a big phone person. I ran an iPhone 3GS up till 2 weeks ago, but today, I put my old sim card back in my 3GS and am happy again. It might be old, but it works and has never run out of room.

The video is here. Here also is the written tutorial and all files needed.
If it doesn’t work for you, you will need a backup of your NVRAM, or MAYBE a full firmware upgrade of the stock firmware can fix it.

You will have to find the stock factory ROM for your phone. I can’t help you there, you’ll need to find it yourself. That may not fix your issue though. You may need NVRAM backup. No, you normally can’t use NVRAM from a different model phone, but you can try if all else fails. Good luck.

Ok I can’t reply with many lines. I will try to enshort the post:
My solution, in two videos recorded rightnow by me:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gvwbxezukakr3p8/AADsMTwVGugLi_Gno6jRzAKNa?dl=0
1. Download IMEIGEN from here (look for a download link, i cant paste it)
2. UNZIP it.
3. Execute imeigen.exe
4. A Green text console is opened. Then WRITE “Y” (YES)and INTRO
5. Console ask you for IMEI 1. write it and INTRO
6. Console asks you for IMEI 2. write AGAIN the same for YOUR SECOND IMEI, if you got 2 SIM CARDS. If just got 1 sim, write the same imei.
7. The console creates Two more files in the folder where the “imeigen.exe” is. The imei generated is “IMEI.BAK”.
8. VERY IMPORTANT: RENAME THAT FILE TO “MP0B_001”.
9. NOW YOU SWITCH YOUR PHONE TO PC IN FILE TRANSFER MODE, OR USE ANY METHOD TO PUT THAT FILE IN THE “DVRAM” FOLDER OF YOUR PHONE, THIS IS, GO TO your device = “\data\NVRAM\md5\NVRAM\NVD_IMEI
10. You will see also the file “MPOB_001”, in that folder NVD_IMEI , so now you have to RENAME THAT FILE TO: “MPOB_001_OLD” and leave it there.
11. FINALLY you go to your PC , take the NEW RENAMED “MPOB_001” born thanks to IMEIGEN.EXE and locate IT in the mentioned folder, NVD_IMEI.
AFTER THIS, if you did everything OK, restart your phone. BINGO.
