HOW TO REVERSE A CHANGED IMEI ON ANDROID

Method 1

If you’ve changed an IMEI and want to reverse it, a factory reset should reverse the process instantly.

  • Locate settings

  • Click on Reset device (Not compulsory; you can choose to wipe user data or not)
  • After resetting, phone should go back to factory mode. (No apps, no data, everything will be reset)
  • Dial *#06# to verify that IMEI has been restored to default.
Method 2

This method requires you to boot to recovery mode…

  • Hold volume up + power button to boot to recovery
  • Use volume up & down to navigate, power button to select (this varies in different device)
  • Navigate to wipe data, then select.
  • After process is successful, navigate to reboot and reboot phone.

Method 3

This method is just perfect, no stress… The same way you changed your phone’s imei is the same way you’d reverse it.
  • NB: Must have the original IMEI saved somewhere or just remove battery then check back of the phone for it.
  • Open your MTK Engineering Mode/Mobile Uncle/SP Flash Tool (all these are IMEI changing apps, make use of what you know how to use best); I will be using MTK engineering mode.
