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?

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.

Before you start using your phone, you may need to insert a micro SIM card

Thanks for answers guys, I'm sure T-Mobile will just swap them out
Micro sim is the new standard. I haven't seen a normal sim in forever.
I have a micro sim in my s3 but I'm gonna sell the phone and switch back to the g2 in the mean time. I wanna know can I reactivate my old g2 sim card? Or do I need a new one if so I could possibly keep the micro for the s3 and reactivate it for the Nexus when I get it

Once you activate a new SIM, your old one gets de-activated automatically. Which means that your old SIM is a peace of trash now as it wont be able to activate again.
Gotcha so can I just go to a tmobile store and get a micro sim for free? Or do they charge for it

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.

so I'm planning to get it off contract on Verizon, but there's no details of what type of sim the american version has. I'm using a micro now, so if it's a nano sim, I should probably order a sim cutter on eBay before I get the phone... lol anyone know?
and I want to get a case beforehand... but I'm wondering if Verizon's will be different bc those back buttons are diff. any ideas?
Sent from my Nexus 7 FHD using Tapatalk 4
If you don't ever plan to switch back, cut it yourself... There's a pdf out there that has you place the sum on paper and lines to cut to make a nano.
When I pre ordered mine from T-Mobile, I had to get a nano sim kit. So, yeah, I guess nano sim.

Call the international department and tell them you plan to go to Europe soon so you need to unlock the phone. They will send a update to your phone. You can check by setting a international Sim or even an ATT or Tmobile Sim into the phone. If it shows "no sim inserted" then it was not correctly unlocked.

One additional question for you patient souls: once I've got it all unlocked with (hopefully) the sim working correctly, can I just leave the sim in the phone and switch between the CDMA & GSM modes or do I need to actually remove it when I return to the US and back to Sprint service?

The Sprint sim is required to receive LTE so yes, you must put the Sprint sim back in and reset your APNs for Sprint.

Thanks. I've been doing a lot of reading about the Spring S4 with international Sim and see a lot about needing to manually edit APNS to get data and that one needs to be rooted to do that. Is that so? I am not rooted.
There are apps in the play store that can add the APNs for you automatically. Not sure if you need to be rooted to use them though. Search the play store for APN apps and the descriptions will tell you if they require root or not.
