Quectel Change Imei Install __full__ Jun 2026
Open the "RF NV Item Manager" within the QPST suite.
| Command | Function | Example | |---------|----------|---------| | AT+EGMR=1,7,"<new_imei>" | Write IMEI to NV memory (permanent) | AT+EGMR=1,7,"123456789012345" | | AT+EGMR=0,7,"<temp_imei>" | Temporary change until reboot | AT+EGMR=0,7,"123456789012345" |
This guide is for on Quectel modules (e.g., EC25, EG25, BG96, etc.). Changing the IMEI on a production device without authorization is illegal in many jurisdictions.
Permitted use cases:
If the module returns ERROR , ensure your AT command syntax is correct and you are using the correct AT Port, not the DM or NMEA port.
A 15-digit number, often obtained from a decommissioned device. Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Quectel IMEI 1. Preparation and Connection
Method A: Standard Quectel Production Command (Qualcomm Chipsets) quectel change imei install
Altering identity parameters on modem chipsets (like Qualcomm or MediaTek architectures used inside Quectel modules) typically involves putting the device into an engineering or test mode.
This is a standard "install" feature for end-users. Quectel does not provide a one-click installer to change IMEI. Instead, it is a low-level diagnostic command feature.
Restart the module to ensure the changes are finalized across all internal systems. 4. Troubleshooting and Firmware Issues Open the "RF NV Item Manager" within the QPST suite
The module will respond with the current 15-digit IMEI number. 3. Modify the IMEI
The process of changing the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) on a Quectel cellular module is typically sought after for device recovery, testing, or specific network compatibility requirements. However, modifying an IMEI can be subject to strict legal regulations depending on your jurisdiction. This technical guide outlines the standard engineering methodology for flashing firmware, installing necessary tools, and utilizing AT commands on Quectel modules.
