This guide will explain how to write IMEI to a Mediatek (MTK) powered Smartwatch using GSM Aladdin Box. If your Smartwatch has a null IMEI then it might not be able to detect your SIM's network or install OTA updates.
Requirements
- Ensure Baseband (Settings > About > Baseband) is NOT Unknown (If unknown, flash the firmware to the phone to regain Baseband)
- Fetch the IMEI from behind the Smartwatch
- Download the latest version of GSM Aladdin box
- Install Mediatek USB drivers for the Smartwatch on the PC

Important Notice
- GSM Aladdin ideally requires a hardware box to work. Running the setup without one will give errors
- Should you choose to use a loader version (no box needed), your antivirus might flag it. You are responsible for your decision to either heed or ignore
- This tool only writes IMEI you supply, it doesn't generate for you
- This guide only explains how to write IMEI, not change IMEI. This means you are entirely responsible for what IMEI you decide to write

Quote:With your Mediatek smartwatch drivers installed, you navigate to the location where you have GSM Aladdin box and you run as Administrator. I'm using the loader version here so I'll just allow it run. In GSM Aladdin box, you click the Mediatek tab and then you tick Repair IMEI. Now, you enter the IMEI for the smartwatch under IMEI 1 the you tick the Android & New boxes then click Connect.
Click Start. Switch off the smartwatch still with battery inside, don't hold the power button and connect it to the PC. Flashing has begun, its writing the IMEI. Don't interrupt the process. Once that is done you'll see IMEI OK. That's how to write IMEI to a Mediatek Smartwatch using GSM Aladdin box.
