To know what I am actually talking about, when you switch on your device dial *#06# and it will write "invalid imei" without fixing this crucial error you will be limited to make calls and recharge your mobile whick sucks alot. Now let's fix this issue.
I guess your phone is an MTK device and is already rooted.
Now we will be tweaking a new imei to your phone
Remove the battery of your device and copy out the imei number written on it ( you can also generate an imei using imei analyser click here to download)
Now power on your device, download and install mobile uncle tools.click here to download.
launch the app and grant it root access, navigate to "engineer mode"
Note: there are two options there, namely
Engineer mode (android)
engineer mode (mtk)
click on the engineer mode (mtk) slide to connectivity and click on CDs information, click on radio information, you will see
phone 1
phone 2
phone 2
I.e if your phone is using dual simcard if not select the one you see
now select either phone 1 or phone 2 (guess you have to select both since you are facing the invalid imei)
you will be taken to a page as below
you will be taken to a page as below
type in any letter word example G and delect immediately now an option will appear as shown below
