Cannot set up ieee address of new CC2531 stick to old one when migrating

[jbrepogmailcom]

What happened?

I have replaced the CC2531 stick for the new one. Devices disappeared from Home Assistant. Then I found this instruction for migrating: Open the frontend, go to "Settings" -> "About" -> "Coordinator IEEE Address" Open the data/database.db; on the first line you will find the coordinator ieee address: {"id":1,"type":"Coordinator","ieeeAddr":"0x00124b000e89686d","nwkAddr":0...

This approach does not work for me, because immediately after I start zigbee2mqtt service, the "old" ieee address in database.db is overwritten by ieee address of new stick.

How to solve that?

What did you expect to happen?

After start of zigbee2mqtt with new CC2531 stick, the database.db should contain ieee address of old stick, that I have copied there before start

How to reproduce it (minimal and precise)

• stop zigbee2mqtt
• edit database.db and put different ieee address in first line
• start zigbee2mqtt
• check database.db - ieee of new stick is there again

Zigbee2MQTT version

1.25.0

Adapter firmware version

0.14.20 herdsman

Adapter

CC2531

Debug log

At last row, you can see ieee of new stick. Th old one that I copied to database.db was different:
