In this video tutorial, I'm going to explain how to write IMEI to a Mediatek Android

00:30
device using GSM Aladdin box. Now to do this, you are going to need two things of

00:35
course you're going to need your VCOM drivers and your GSM Aladdin box.

00:39
Now, before you install your VCOM drivers, it is important you disable

00:43
signature verification on your PC if you're using Windows 8 and above.

00:48
We already have a guide on how to do this on our YouTube channel

00:53
also at the forum we have a guide so just search for these and ensure you disable

00:59
signature verification although for some versions of windows 7, you might need to

01:03
but mostly you don't need to do that on Windows 7 ok? Alright! Once you've

01:08
disabled that (I have done that on this pc) you now need to install your Mediatek

01:12
VCOM drivers. Now, to do that, you are going to launch device manager. In device manager, what

01:35
you'll need to do is just highlight any item on the lists ok then you click on

01:42
Action - Add legacy hardware - Next - Install the harder that I manually select from a

01:48
lists - Next - Next - Have disk - Browse. Now, at this point you need to navigate

01:58
to the folder where you have your VCOM drivers ok? I have mine in the Hovatek

02:03
folder - Drivers - USB VCOM driver. If you're using Windows 7 and above open the

02:10
Windows 7 folder else, you select the appropriate version of Windows you're using

02:15
from these folders so I'm using Windows 10 so I'm going to open the windows 7

02:19
folder. Now, this is for the 32-bit PCs and this is for 64-bit PCs ok?

02:25
I'm using a 64-bit PC. To confirm that, you go under This PC or My Computer -

02:32
Properties and there you have it. Mine is a 64-bit PC ok?

02:45
OK. Now, at this point, you select Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port

02:51
and you click on Next - Next and then wait for the driver to get installed. Alright! So

03:02
we have the following harder was installed drivers installed you click on

03:06
finish. Now, If you see the yellow warning sign here you shouldn't be

03:14
worried. This is because you installed an unsigned driver alright? So Windows

03:18
tends to think the driver is not going to work so don't be worried about it ok? Now

03:22
that we have drivers installed, we need to go to GSM Aladdin box. I have my own

03:27
installed here (Program Files\GSM Aladdin). I'm using the loader version so I

03:41
will just launch the loader. Alright! So at this point, you need to have your IMEI

03:49
wish to write on ground and you need to have your phone on ground. Now, you need to

03:55
power off the phone but don't connect it yet ok? Just power it off with the battery

04:00
in it and wait for GSM Aladdin to come up. This seems

04:08
to be taking a little longer than it should but I'm going to wait anyway for it

04:14
to come up. This can also work for smartwatches, single IMEI MTK devices,

04:23
MTK devices generally it's about the same procedure. This is taking a while ok

04:29
I think I'm going to just try to relaunch it

04:34
I can close this. Yes, sometimes your antivirus might also be interfering although

04:45
in my case I don't think it's antivirus okay. Antivirus can also make this take a

04:51
little longer okay? So any moment from now, I should have my GSM Aladdin box up

04:56
OK, yes, I have it up now. So at this point, you select Mediatek and then you

05:03
click Repair IMEI. You leave these as they are (Model Options). Leave those as

05:10
default and then you enter the IMEIs you intend to write to the Mediatek

05:15
Android device so let me just drop sample IMEIs [typing IMEI]

05:46
So you are going to also tick Android and you

05:48
tick New alright? (don't forget to do that) and you click Connect (at the top). Don't be

05:54
worried by this error, it's just a normal thing. Now, you click Start.

05:58
With your phone powered off and without holding any button, you connect it to the

06:08
PC via USB cord. So I'm going to do that just now. Powered off, battery inside, not

06:17
holding any button, connect it to the PC via USB. I have a detection and write is

06:26
in progress. Its very important you don't interrupt this process ok?

06:34
I have an IMEI OK. So at this point, you can disconnect and reboot the PC and

06:39
confirm that your IMEI have been written successfully. so

06:43
that's how to write IMEI to a Mediatek Android device using GSM Aladdin box
