RM502Q-AE updated firmware, IMEI no longer matches

[jacksonville]

I used QFirehose to update the firmware on a RM502Q-AE from RM502QAEAAR11A04M4G_01.002.01.002 to RM502QAEAAR11A04M4G_01.004.01.004. After that it would no longer connect and I noticed it no longer has the same IMEI that's printed on the card. How do I restore the original IMEI?

This is a first.

Search the full function of the Quectel AT command:

AT+EGMR

You're specifically interested in the =1,7,"123456789012345" part of the command.

I tried it and the IMEI did change however the modem still won't connect. I replaced the modem with a different working module for the time being.

I think I remember modem manager saying it was in "factory-test" mode. Is there such a mode and how can I avoid it?

Never seen such a mode myself.
