Wireless Joint

Hello all,
I am a newbie to MR5100, I bought the unlocked unit back in April and wanted to harvest the 500M speed of the T-Mo 5G UC
The MR5100 is an AT&T branded hog-spot and doesn't have all the T-Mobile bands. n41 is T-Mobile's fastest s 5G, n71 second fastest. The M5 has nether.

5G MiFi ...

So how does this work? If I purchase the M5 and then go into AT&T and get a unlimited ipad plan? What if I don't have an iPad? will they still give me the $20/mo with a SIM without bringing it in, and then I can use it in the M5? I'm a bit confused.
How it works is something that cannot be talked ...

Wow! Is this 5G on the iPad plan?? Or are you really getting that kind of speed with 4G?
AT&T's 5G is no better than their 4G. I switched to a 5G tablet IMEI and had to call to get 5 G activated. It is the same as 4G except for the 5G icon in the corner of the screen. Even if I band-lock to a 5G ...

Verizon's Visible.

It took some study of the working of Linux and Python but I did manage to unlock the engineering section of the Snapdragon X55 the M5 uses. I was able to "repair" things that are not available on the open section of the modem.

Everything one needs is packaged and just needs to be run. The package ...

Getting into the locked area of the modem where things can be "repaired" is possible using
https://github.com/bkerler/edl. Using that group of programs I was able to unlock the engineer section where one can change things that are not available in the open area.

Using the programs one can unlock ...

Yes M1 and M5 are similar the diff being M1 is not a secure boot enabled device and not fuzed the prob you will run into with it is the ADB port is blocked on M1, it can be enabled but takes some work to enable it
I was reading about the efuses. What will they think of next? Everybody wants to ...

Ubuntu is a user friendly gui for linux, its not a command line interfac
you can do your challenge and as long as you do not unplug your device from its current session or re-enter the challenge the response will be the ok even if it is the next day it would work and be ok.
I knew sooner or later ...

I found a download on GitHub, "Use Re LiveDVD (everything ready to go, based on Ubuntu):", It is over 3 gigs. Is this a Linux distribution with Python and all the drivers and modules installed? That would make it so much easier than looking for all the parts on the Wide World of the Web; except for ...

if you need to post your challenge here and I will calc it for you and post it back so you can unlock the AT advanced commands.
I am not sure who jkinred is but that algo was reverse engineered and made public by my friend his name is B. Kerler
Edit: jkinred did a gist of the code.

I do not know what hack you are talking about

It is very locked down, its a secure boot enabled device and is efuzed.
I would say the security level on this device is high.
I know of an M5 that was "repaired" remotely, not mine. After the "repair" all the settings that were in the M5, passwords ...

It is possible to hard code TTL and band lock on M1 and M5 so it sticks not only thru reboot but sticks thru hard reset, same with IMEI repair for both of them so no need to hide either of those behind another router anymore.
After the "repair' does a factory reset still clear all the passwords ...

I did not get a 5G SIM, there very few 5G iPads and they cost a mint. I got speeds up to 175 mb/s in the M5100 on 4G but I can't get 5G.

I was a bit surprised at no 5G, I have a Verizon and Sprint 4G SIMs that I use in 5G hot-spots and get 5G with both. The sub 6 5G is no better, and at times ...

I activated the $20 + fees stand alone tablet plan using an iPad gen 4. It cost me $100 including tax on FleeBay. I put the SIM in a Netgear Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot (MR5000) and it worked but only on 4G. I put the SIM back in the iPad. I have to "repair" the IMEI and change the TTL on the ...

If you didn't "repair" the IMEI on the hardware you put the tablet only SIM in you may have been bricked for not using a tablet.
