Again on this process that we are about to take
you through on, you do not need to root your
android device, but if by any means, your
device suddenly request for root access for you
to make use of one of the tools that we will be
referring you to, then do not hesitate to safely
root your android device.
It’s time to now take you through the original
and comprehensive method of changing your
Android device IMEI to that of a Blackberry
sequentially;
= => 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.
