1. Download Chamelephon.apk here 2. Open Chamelephon and grant it super user permission

4. Input the IMEI number you wish to change to in any of the boxes. You can simply leave any of the boxes you did not wish to change the IMEI empty. 5. Then click Apply New IMEIs. 6. A popup box will ask “Do you confirm changing the IMEIs?” Click on Change button.
7. Close everything and restart your phone or put it in Airplane mode for 5 seconds before you back it to normal mode, then dial *#06# to view your new IMEIs.

Use d above method to get it done.
Take note of the following
* Enable USB Debugging mode on your device
* Change to another USB cable
OEM ones if you have.
* Try an alternate USB port
USB 2.0 port.
* Try unchecking "Media device (MTP) " in the USB Connection Settings.
* If there is an USB icon in your notification center, click it to uncheck MTP.
Or, go to Settings > Storage > Menu item in upper right > USB computer connection > Uncheck MTP.
Correct those things and try again or go for kingo root .apk rather.
