To answer your questions, no using the GUI for the modem there is no way to change TTL or Band Lock
I have seen it done with the command line but have to do every time you reboot the modem.

Trust but verify what I am saying this is based on a M1

for example 

with LTE B14 + N2 + N5 + N260 (mmwave)
AT!BAND=04,"LTEB145G",0,2000,0,12,2,0,0,8

with LTE B14 + N2 + N5
AT!BAND=04,"LTEB145G",0,2000,0,12,2
works fine

pewone wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 3:54 pm You can band lock on the M5 and it persists through reboots. You just can't change the lock directly from the website anymore. It still appears as a drop down menu in the netgear phone app though.

You can't seem to include N260 in the bandlock but the rest of it works

Code: Select all

for example if you wanted b14+5g only for whatever reason

AT!BAND=04,"LTEB145G",0,2000,2,812,2,8

gives an error because it includes n260

AT!BAND=04,"LTEB145G",0,2000,2,812,2
works fine

AT!BAND=04,"LTEB25G",0,2,2,812,2
OR
AT!BAND=05,"LTEB2NR5G",0,2,2,10
I took what was posted prior on here for band 14+5G (AT!BAND=04,"LTEB145G",0,2000,2,812,2) and replaced it with band 2+5G

pewone wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 11:03 am Sorry I accidentally included B66 in that example (edited the post)

B2 + 5G (including N260 mmwave "5G+") it would be:
AT!BAND=04,"LTEB25G",0,2,0,12,2,0,0,8

B2 + 5G without N260:
AT!BAND=04,"LTEB25G",0,2,0,12,2

Those include 5GN66 change the 2 after the 12 to 0 if you don't want any 66 what so ever

jcrm2 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 3:14 pm OK, I added it but now I'm not getting 5G with neither. Just band 2

pewone wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 3:30 pm Do you get 5G when you don't lock? If not you're not gonna magically acquire it by locking.

jcrm2 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 3:43 pm Yeah pretty much. Wow this is unfortunate

pewone wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 9:14 pm if you kept N66 on in your tests then it probably needs B66 as the anchor band
if you turned off N66 in your test then your 5G is likely only N66
other than that beats me

Rich Hathaway wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 7:23 am 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.

Earl_the_Pearl wrote: ↑Tue Aug 17, 2021 9:17 pm After the "repair' does a factory reset still clear all the passwords and other data from the phone and return the settings to out of the box new?

Earl_the_Pearl wrote: ↑Tue Aug 17, 2021 9:17 pm There is a hack that locks the TTL and "repair" but it also locks in the information entered through the GUI.

Earl_the_Pearl wrote: ↑Tue Aug 17, 2021 9:17 pm The M5 is not as locked down as many think.

Rich Hathaway wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 10:46 am 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.

Rich Hathaway wrote: ↑Sun Aug 15, 2021 9:10 am you can get them by query the modem for them

jcrm2 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 7:59 pm does anyone know the coding to lock band2+ band66 +5G (including N260 mmwave "5G+")?

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

Earl_the_Pearl wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 1:49 pm Thanks for the offer of calculating the response but I get a different challenge every time I "AT! OPENLOCK?"

Rich Hathaway wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 3:44 pm 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.

Rich Hathaway wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 6:55 am 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

Earl_the_Pearl wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 3:02 am 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 link is https://github.com/bkerler/edl.

The M5 is worth getting to work on AT&T's 4G unlimited iPad plan.

Lyric wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 1:06 am 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.

Rich Hathaway wrote: ↑Wed Aug 18, 2021 6:11 pm I think maybe you misunderstand what the device is doing if you clear the config then perform a hard reset the device will re-populate that config file with the raw values in the filesystems backup, it will be different from the sticker, you can repair it back to the sticker values if you happen to make a backup in the admin page before that was done in this case simply restore that backup.config
