(Note: The exact command to enable Diag mode varies by module series).
Run AT+GSN again to confirm the modem reflects the new number.
AT+CGMR // Checks current firmware version AT+CGSN // Displays the current factory IMEI AT+QPRTPARA=1 // Backs up current NVRAM parameters to flash memory Use code with caution. Record the output of these commands safely in a text file. Step 4: The Flashing and Configuration Process
The new installation parameters will not fully initialize until the module performs a hardware or software cycle. Reset the cellular module via software: AT+CFUN=1,1 Use code with caution. (Alternatively, power-cycle the hardware manually).
Note: The 1,7 parameters specifically target the IMEI storage in the module's NVRAM. quectel change imei install
Changing the IMEI on a Quectel module requires technical expertise and caution. Before attempting to change the IMEI, ensure you understand the process and potential implications. It's also essential to consult the module's documentation and Quectel's support resources for specific guidance.
Use the tool’s target field configuration to rewrite the hardware identification strings directly to the permanent system flash allocation blocks. 5. Verification and Troubleshooting

Navigate to Start Clients -> Software Download -> Backup . Save a backup copy of your module's original .qcn file. Never skip this step.
Plug your Quectel hardware into the computer's USB port.
After completing the installation and modification workflow, you must verify that the cellular stack registers the change successfully. Verification Steps
Send the command to open the diagnostic port: AT+QCFG="usbnet",0 Use code with caution. Record the output of these commands safely in a text file
Set the baud rate to 115200 (8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity).
For users uncomfortable with command lines:
Some Quectel modules allow a simpler command (though less common in newer modules):
Contact Quectel support directly or work through an authorized distributor.
