Hi guys after a break we are back with a very nice guide which will solve many Mediatek users problem.

As an android user we love to root phones,flash recoveries and ROM’s. In that process we tend to lose IMEI of the phone resulting in loss of signal reception. There are many IMEI backup tools to take backup before flashing ROM’s or recoveries. Even if we take IMEI backup through tools like MobileUncletool and MTK droid tools restoring IMEI via those tools only helps to temporarily restores the IMEI and once if you flash a new ROM your IMEI gets erased back.So what really happens !

Here we are sharing a very comprehensive tutorial along with a video guide to restore IMEI on all Mediatek chipset based devices. The advantage in this method is you phone doesn’t need to be rooted to perform this task. With this guide you never need to worry about IMEI. This will permanently restore you IMEI. This tool supports major MTK chipsets such as MT6592,MT6582,MT6589,MT6577,MT6575 and this tool has been tested with many MTK phones.
