Sure Method to Root and Change The Imei of Tecno W4

The Tecno W4 is the first ever tecno’s Smartphone to run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow which was launched few weeks back. Tecno W4 Dual SIM smartphone is stylish, cute, and features an attractive design. It offers a user friendly interface. Clocked at 1.3GHz Quad Core processor, 1GB RAM. I have already published an article that details the full specs and price of Tecno W4.

The below tutorial will guide the Tecno W4 users to Root and change the IMEI of their Smartphone. Important Notice After rooting your phone, it’s advisable to unroot before performing an OTA update or restoring factoring settings. We have a comprehensive guide on that here.

How To Change Your Tecno W4 IMEI

In this method, we are going to use an application called Chamelephon. It’s simple and short for those who are new to this. Simply follow the steps carefully. No need of CDS information or engineering mode at all.

1. Download Chamelephon.apk here 2. Open Chamelephon and grant it superuser access permission

3. The first box is for the IMEI of the sim 1, if you are using a dual sim phone. And the second box for Sim 2.

4. Input the IMEI number you wish to change to in any of the boxes. Simply leave any of the boxes you did not wish to change as the way you met it.  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.

Note that Changing of IMEI is illegal in some countries, and Shelaf will not be held responsible for any consequences that befall the changer. Also, backup your original imei incase anything goes wrong, then revert using the above procedures for changing. Good Luck and don’t forget to drop your testimony, when succeeded in changing your Smartphone IMEI. You can as well drop your comment for any help.
