Warning: Changing your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) can be against the law in some countries and may void your device's warranty. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.
Independent users on forums like PINE64 and Quectel Forums have discussed undocumented methods for specific modules like the Quectel EG25-G: quectel change imei
Abstract This paper explores the technical processes involved in modifying the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) on Quectel cellular modules. While Quectel modules are widely deployed in IoT and M2M applications, the ability to alter the IMEI raises significant security and legal concerns. This document analyzes the command interfaces, specifically AT commands and QMI/RIL interfaces, used to access non-volatile memory (NVRAM) for identity modification. Furthermore, it examines the distinction between legitimate repair/recalibration and illicit activities such as device cloning and counterfeiting. The paper concludes with an overview of the regulatory frameworks, including GSMA standards and regional telecommunications laws, that render unauthorized IMEI alteration a criminal offense in many jurisdictions. Method 2: Using Quectel-CM Tool (Optional)

Method 2: Using Quectel-CM Tool (Optional) specifically AT commands and QMI/RIL interfaces
