Pinephone IMEI changing info: do you think its OK for a Wiki?
#15
No, there is never any legal reason or necessity to change the IMEI number on any cell phone or the PinePhone. However, the basis of simply having the knowledge of how to change the IMEI on the PinePhone is fine for education/research and it certainly can be documented in the Wiki. Anyone who has worked on the Quectel modem code has discovered this information anyway, the same way Megi did. There is an edge case of restoring the original IMEI number to the phone, for whatever reason the modem lost the original number.
