You can just ask this question in an existing thread, you don't need to start a whole new thread. Yes, it has a Verizon and Vodophone branded sim.
I can not get the nvm folder unlocked on the 9k port. I do need it unlocked to be able to write the data settings and have them stick, correct? Also to change the MEID? I have CDMA WS 2.7, QPST 366, DFS 4.0.0.4. Can anyone help?
I am trying to flash this phone to cricket-
I do have 1x data with a AT&T sim installed. Text and calls work.
I also have 1x data with no sim card installed, but I can't make calls.
Yes I am trying to unlock and edit the 9k port with the vzw sim in the phone.
Edit: 'open sesame door' DOES NOT WORK
The radio itself ia the problem. It doesnt work at the frequencies that at&t operates on. Yes it does have a sim but it isnt the same as a sim that is in an at&t phone.

Ok, but I still need to unlock the NVM folder on the 9k port modem.
Are you attempting to get 3g data?

Yup.
Good luck. The thunderbolt doesnt operate on the same frequencies as at&t. The radios are not capable of it.

Who said anything about that, in my post I state the following
I AM FLASHING THIS PHONE TO CRICKET
I am trying to get the 3g data to work on cricket, so far I can only get 1x data. Anyways, my question is how to unlock the NVM folder.

'MR2.5 MDM9K Patched for 3g' with no luck
Which radio are you talking about?
2.11.605.9 Radio or 1.01.1520.0 MR4 Sense 3.0 Leak Radio
I tried to download the radios, but the dropbox URLs are dead.
I'll take a look tomo see if I can find it can't gurantee it will just hunch 2long weeks just glad it finally stuck I did think it was possible almost gave up

CDMA doesn't use sim card. Sim card is gsm by default. The one on the tbolt is not a "sim" as we know it. Im pretty sure it I for 4g LTE only. Everything else should work, yes 3g cdma, without it present. I think it is a UIM card. I have heard Verizon is using it for CDMA authentication as well, but I am not sure on that one. CDMA does not need a "sim" card, but a carrier could choose to use a UIM or any hardware key if they desired. If you aren't on Verizon's network, it should be 100%. If you are(even through a third party carrier that uses Verizon for their cdma service) you will need a new card. Once they are issued, they get tied to the account and phone number and cannot be changed for security reasons.

So you are saying the data fields on the 9k port are irrelevant to my data issue. All the NV items on 9k port still have Verizon information, so the UM and AN User ID and so forth are all the old Verizon information. I can NOT write to these fields, from what I understand this might be the reason I am not getting 3G.
So if those settings are not needed, is it my Radio? Like I said all my calls, texts, MMS even all WORK. My only issue is 1x Data, I can't seem to get 3g.
ALSO WHEN THE VERIZON UIM/SIM CARD (WHICH EVER IT IS) IS IN THE PHONE, I HAVE NO DATA AT ALL, I ONLY GET DATA WHEN I USE A SIM CARD FROM ANOTHER PROVIDER.
THE DATA WORKS WITH NO UIM/SIM IN THE PHONE, BUT WHEN THERE IS NO UIM/SIM I CAN NOT MAKE CALLS.
Have you seen this article? You are correct with your approach, this may help you.

Thank you. Does every carrier have micro sim cards? Currently I only have a regular sim card and am not sure if Fido has micro sims.

I think they all do, yeah. Just give them a call and they'll be able to let you know
I currently have an LG Optimus one with a normal size sim. When I get the Nexus 4 I plan on cutting the sim to micro sim dimensions then sticking it in my new device. Will it work instantly with my existing plan from my Optimus one?

I'm on O2 UK with a full-size SIM. Do you think I could just ask them to give me a micro-SIM?

The phone has a micro-sim and if you cant get hold of a micro then the only decision is to cut it yourself. The sim still works equally well!

I had an iPhone 4 so I had to cut my Sim card but when I moved to HTC Inspire 4G then I still had the extra pieces so i fitted them in the device. Now when I will get Nexus 4, I can simply use the Micro Sim and keep those pieces to a safe place

I'm on T-Mobile UK and when I asked they said it would cost me £10. I tried to cut my own, but the chip is huge! What I did was ring them up and they were able to credit me the money to my next bill. Give that a try...I'm not saying it will work, but its worth a try.

Yeah, they call is an "admin fee"...not sure why. All the guy did was get a new SIM, scan it in and then enter in my phone number and details. If I hadn't got my money back I wouldn't have been too happy about it.
AT&T gave me one for free as well..

Hi guys,
I have both a Nexus 4 and iP5. I would like to switch between the 2 (iPhone for work and android for home use). I purchased the noosy adapters but have read some horror stories about them.
Does anyone here do what I am looking to do? If so, how do you manage it?
Thanks
SIM adapters work fine, nothing to worry about
I use a cheap Nano to Micro SIM adapter in my Nexus 4 because I had an iPhone 5 for 2 days before I saw my arse with it and returned it for a full refund.
Phil
I have the noosy and it works just fine between my iphone 5, Note 2 and Optimus G. I think the build quality is pretty good actually.
Any trick to it? Also, anything special you do to apn settings because of iPhone lte data plan?

I read on the AndroidCentral forums that if you want to switch between the Nexus and iPhone, you need to give AT&T a call every time you swap out the SIM. (This is assuming you are using AT&T)

I'm still convinced that you need to, as per the thread I read on AC. Mainly because both of you are close to iPhone with LTE to N4 with HSPA+ but never replicate the situation. The guys over there had first hand experience and told some stories on what they had to do with iPhone 5 and N4
You: HOX LTE to N4 HSPA+
Other guy: LGOG LTE to N2 LTE to iP LTE

Not familiar with Metropcs so sorry if this is kinda generic.
1. Not unless your carrier is really weird... Or if you are on a contract and don't have a smartphone plan
2. Couple seconds. Once you're in recovery and all, the zip to flash is really simple.
3. This depends on if your carrier is GSM or CDMA and what frequency bands it uses. GSM is fairly simple... CDMA can (?) be done, but it's significantly more complicated.
From everything I can see, you're almost guaranteed to get 1xRTT (2g data) and voice. 3g and MMS are iffy, and require changes to APN settings, and LTE or HSPA+ depend on the frequency band, if you're on GSM. On CDMA, I have no idea.
4. As with any flashing, there's the off chance something bad could happen. Not likely, especially if you follow the directions. But, it could happen.
If you give me info on the carrier, I can give more specific instructions
Final note: please Don't Capitalize Every Word Because It Makes People Annoyed And Is Weird To Read.

No, because what you're asking about hasn't been done yet. It may not even be possible. It looks like they're CDMA. Also, apparently, they cancelled their BYOD program, which would make this even harder. Also, please do not capitalize every word. Very harsh to read.

That's page plus and cricket. It needs different values to do metropcs. You might be able to change the cricket/page plus values to metropcs, but I doubt anyone would know the changes to make.
Also, if they're not doing byod any more, that may permanently stop you from flashing it ever... They may lock their network down based on IMEIs
