This tutorial will explain how to write IMEI to Mediatek (MTK) devices using Modem Meta (Maui Meta v10) tool. One of the advantages of this tool over Maui Meta v9 is that it can load DB file(s) directly from the device. It also has an option to manually load the DB file in case loading from the device fails.

Requirements

• Ensure you have a valid Baseband. If unknown, flash the stock rom
  
• Download Mediatek CDC Serial driver and install as explained @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srOYe6TWo60
  
• Download and install Modem Meta tool

In this video tutorial, I'll be explaining
how to write IMEI to a Mediatek Android device


using Modem Meta tool.


Some people also know this as Maui Meta version
10.


In order to use this tool, you need to have
installed your Mediatek CDC serial drivers.


I'll link to that in the description below.


You also need to have downloaded and installed
modem meta, I'll also link to that.


Once you have these in place, you launch modem
meta.


Now, under platform type, you select Smart
Phone and under COM Port, you select USB COM,


then you click Connect.


Now you power off the device, still with battery
in it, do not hold any button then you connect


it to the PC via USB cable.


If you've installed the drivers correctly
then the phone should pass all connection


stages at this right hand corner.


Now, if all were passed, you should have Connected
in green at the bottom left corner.


Next you click Load DB.


One difference between Modem Meta and Maui
Meta v9 is that this version allows you to


extract the DB file directly from the device
which is much more convenient.


You click on From target.


If this fails then you can click on From file
but you're going to need to have the DB file


for your specific phone model, which can be
obtained from the firmware for that model.


I'm going to re-run this.


If you get this error then you could re-run
it.


Alright, I had to disconnect, reboot the device
and retry.


If you get that error, just do what I did
and if you keep getting the failed error then


you'll have to load the DB file manually.


Next up (once you have DB is successfully
loaded), you come under the Search Tools and


you select IMEI Download.


Now, you input the first 14 digits of the
IMEIs you wish to write.


For IMEI 1; that is SIM 1, I enter the first
14 digits.


IMEI 2; first 14 digits.


The tool will automatically append the 15th.
digit then you click on Write.


If successful, you should have Write IMEI
to target successfully then you can disconnect


and hold the Power button till the device
boots up.


That's how to write IMEI to a Mediatek Android
device using Modem Meta.


If you got stuck at any point, feel free to
ask questions (in the comments) below and


we'll be happy to assist you.

is this stock rom the exact same one you have running on your device? if no, then you might either want to look for db for your exact firmware build OR flash the stock rom you have to the device then retry the db from the rom
OR better still, did you try loading db from target?
