The most common method involves sending specific strings to the module's via a serial terminal (e.g., PuTTY, QCOM, or Minicom). 1. Identify the Correct Port Windows : Check Device Manager for "Quectel USB AT Port". Linux : Typically maps to /dev/ttyUSB2 or /dev/ttyUSB3 . 2. Verify Current IMEI

Quectel modules often require a "security password" or a specific command to unlock the write-protection on the IMEI field. Depending on the specific firmware version, you may need to use: AT+EGMR=1,7,"YOUR_NEW_15_DIGIT_IMEI" Use code with caution.
Changing the IMEI on a Quectel module involves using specific through a serial terminal. This process is typically used for "IMEI repair" rather than standard installation. Prerequisites & Installation
If successful, you’ll see SUCCESS message. If not, you may need to use the tool instead.
