= => You need a Blackberry IMEI, simply get one for yourself here

= => You need to access the Engineer Mode of your Android device, to do that just dial any of these codes with your device *#*#3646633#*#* or *#7465625# If none of the codes works for your device, then download Android MobileUncle app here and install it on your device to access the Engineer Mode.

= => Dialing any of those codes above will take you straight to the Engineer Mode of your android device, but if it did not work and you want to now use the MobileUncle app, which you downloaded above to get to the Engineer Mode, just launch the MobileUncle app then select Engineer Mode>>Engineer Mode (MTK).

= => Now on your Engineer Mode, which you were able to access by any of the methods above, the first menu option there is the Telophony, Just navigate to the second menu option Connectivity by the right

= => On the Connectivity options, go down and choose CDS Information>>Radio Information>>Phone2 and you should now see the “AT+” command line without the quotation. Note here that the Phone2 you chose above signifies that you are changing the IMEI of your SIM2

= =>Now just add this command EGMR=1,10,”Your 15 digit BB IMEI” to the AT+ line to have something like this AT+EGMR=1,10,”357490978658998” and then press the SEND AT COMMAND button. You will now get a successful command sent message, just press done and reboot your phone, then use *#06# to confirm that your IMEI has changed.

Note from the command line above, if you press the SEND AT COMMAND button after inputting on the command line as indicated and you get an error message, then rewrite the command line with a space in between AT and +EGMR i.e. AT(space)+EGMR=1,10,”Your 15 digit BB IMEI” so it will now look like this AT +EGMR=1,10,”Your 15 digit BB IMEI” and always remember to include the double opening and closing quotations on the IMEI part of the command line only as indicated.

Again as mentioned above, it was the Phone2(SIM2) IMEI that was changed, so if you want to change the IMEI of your SIM1, when you get to the Radio Information as prescribed above, instead of choosing the Phone2 option, now choose the Phone1 and the AT+ command line should now be AT +EGMR=1,7”Your 15 digit BB IMEI” against AT +EGMR=1,10,”Your 15 digit BB IMEI” which was for Phone2(SIM2). Complete the process like before.
