HELP!!! My Phone Is Showing Me Invalid IMEI by chinonyinye: 6:55pm On Feb 10, 2018
HI. Good evening all. pls I'm using tecno p9tab. my tablet suddenly hanged on monday and when i tried rebooting it, it refused to come on. i took it to a repairman on wednesday and he fixed it. it happened again yesterday and i took it back to him today. after boosting the battery and it came on, he advised me to flash the phone which i did. He then went to a place in my phone and he asked me to input my pin which i did. after dat he formated it although my pictures infact files didnt get lost only my apps were removed. the problem is that the tab is now showing invalid imei and i cant make calls. i cant even check my balance. pls what is the cause and how do i solve this?

It happen because of the flashing/factory resetting you did on the phone....solution is to Install the Mobile MTK Engineering Mode app..though this will only work on devices with a Mediatek chipset.
In the Mobile MTK Engineering Mode app go to > MTK Settings > Connectivity > CDS Information > Radio Information > Phone 1.
At the AT+ line:
Enter AT +EGMR=1,7,"ENTER-IMEI-HERE", then tap on 'Send AT Command'. If you have a dual SIM phone, enter AT +EGMR=1,10,"ENTER-IMEI-HERE" then tap on 'Send AT Command' again. Note: The quotes are included and there should be a space after AT.
You should get a notification that the AT Command(s) were successfully sent. Restart your device. Restart your phone when you're done. You now shouldn't get the 'Invalid IMEI' notification. To confirm if it's sucessful, dial *#06#, it should display the IMEI you typed.

Your imei should be somewhere inside your phone when you open the back cover or battery or check your phone pack for that.
Goodluck.
