We already created a detailed guide on how to resolve invalid IMEI issue on MTK devices at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-116.html but some Android 6 and 7 (Marshmallow & Nougat) users have complained about most of the methods there not working for them. This guide should help resolve it.
Warning! It is illegal to change your IMEI from the original (on the back) to another so you are entirely responsible for how you choose to use this guide
Steps on how to fix invalid IMEI on an MTK android device using Tool Hero
Follow the steps below to fix invalid IMEI on a mediatek android phone using Tool Hero apk
- Download and Install Tool hero (formerly known as Mobile Uncle)

I think you're trying to write SN different from the phone's original SN.
