The Invalid IMEI is a common problem faced by most MediaTek devices including Xiaomi Redmi, Micromax, Oppo, Samsung, Vivo, HTC, Sony etc. The issue generally happens when you install a custom ROM, update your Android device or manually modify the IMEI. The issue mostly occurs in Mediatek based Android smartphones. The problem causes the network to be unrecognised by the SIM card and the SIM will not show any signals or network. Here I have come up with few methods to fix the problem of IMEI and get back your IMEI on your device.
Method 1. Assign IMEI Number
⇒ Requirements
⇒ Get the IMEI Number
Dial *#06# in the dialer.You Can also check for IMEI in About phone under Setting.You can also find IMEI in Box or somewhere on the battery.
Download and Install MTK Engineering Mode App (Preferred) or Mobile Uncle tools.
Steps to Follow to Recover Lost IMEI
⇒ Root Access required. Step. 1 In MTK Engineering Mode App select MTK settings. Step. 2 Go to connectivity and select CDS information. Step. 3 In CDS select Radio information. Step. 4 Select Phone 1 and in input box enter AT+EGMR=1,7,”Your IMEI Number” and press Send AT Command. Now reboot the device. Step. 5 If you have a dual SIM device then again go to the MTK Engineering App and now select Phone 2 and enter the command AT+EMGR=1,10,”Your IMEI Number”, send command and reboot the device. Step. 6 Once done you will see the network. Note: If the command doesn’t work just simply put space after AT i.e AT +EMGR instead of AT+EMGR. Source: Watch Video
