How To Access Engineer Mode

There are few ways to access engineer mode and I am going to share these two simple ways.


First is to dial these.
*#*#3646633#*#*

3646633 is equivalent to ENGMODE so better keep that in mind.

If the first one failed, try this!

You need a root access and Mobileucle Tools. You can download it on Google Playstore for free.

If you have installed Mobileuncle Tools already, open it.
It will ask for root access and just grant it.

Click Engineer Mode

Click Engineer Mode (MTK)


Voila! You have now accessed the Engineer Mode!

This tutorial will help you how to change or fix the IMEI on your Mediatek or Chamelephon device.

We do not need a personal computer nor programming backgrounds. We only need a stable internet connection and root access on our Android phone.
