Change Imei With Magisk -
Recovery and security
Apps like (specifically for older MediaTek devices) or Device ID Changer use root access to overwrite the system properties that store the IMEI. General Workflow (Conceptual) change imei with magisk

Magisk operates by intercepting system calls. A Magisk Module can hook into the system's API (specifically the TelephonyManager ). When an app (like a banking app or game) asks the system, "What is the IMEI?", the Magisk Module intercepts that question and replies with a fake number. The actual IMEI stored in the baseband processor (radio firmware) remains unchanged.
