[CLOSED] Is it possible to retrieve/change IMEI programmtically?

Hi,
I have a Googke Pixel 4a (currently not near me, is at a friends place) and a Google Pixel 6 to test with.
I wanted to ask if it is somehow possible to change the IMEI programmatically? Is that only possible with a rooted phone?
I found a script on github {Mod edit}, however this doesn't work because `fastboot getvar imei` returns FAILED since the imei variable isn't present.
Would be happy to receive any help!
Best regards,
Laktus

[CLOSED]Possible to change IMEI?

Hey everyone! I am new here with a question.
I moved to Turkey about 4 months ago and here in turkey you need to pay the government a pretty hefty fee to use your phone if it was not bought in Turkey. As soon as I inserted a Turkish SIM i my phone I was sent a text message saying I have 120 days to use my phone and then they will block my IMEI until I pay the fee.
My phone is a... running latest updates non-rooted.
Is there a way I can change my phone's IMEI while I am here and then revert to original one when I move out again? I have the single sim version. Willing to root if needed.
Tips and tricks appreciated!
