[@TheTravelinTruckah]

I'm glad you liked it! I've been using this method for a couple years now. Also recently found out the Nighthawk M1 is about $76 on eBay right now and that's still a pretty good hotspot.

[@jessejames7074]

This is a little bit different from the process of used to about 10 years ago thank you for the info man

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Your very welcome!

[@howardzhao4685]

Great informative video. I was looking for something like those for my unlocked M5 to revise IMEI. But I am a Mac user, seems DC-Unlock did not have the Mac Client😢

[@zacpinney2180]

What AT&T tablet plan are you using? I’m not seeing an unlimited plan option for $20

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

I have a business account so I'm not sure what the current tablet plan prices are for regular accounts

[@zacpinney2180]

@@TheTravelinTruckah okay sounds good. Thanks for the tips!

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Your welcome!

[@windsongmusic]

Hey If you are still having issues finding the plan he's talking about I can walk you through it. You do not need a business account but you do need to know exactly what to say. The plan is not advertised and they don't go out of their way to help people get set up on the plan since it is beyond cheap. I have been using the same plan since back when the M1 was brand new and 4g lte seemed like you'd found Nirvana. Now I use a 5g lte version and I can't believe I ever thought 4g was fast lol. It reminds me of when I bought my first US ROBOTICS 56k x2 modem. I just dated myself didn't I.....oops lol. Anyway if you still need a hand let me know and I'll set up a temp email so we can talk. I'd suggest doing the same thing so you won't have to worry about passing out your real email. If you're unfamiliar just search for temp web based email account and there are several free ones. There are a couple apps for that too. Anyway Cheers

@@windsongmusicI’m interested too

[@WaveformV1.0]

Thinking of getting the M6 pro model here in Australia. Will have to do some research to see if DC unlocked works on which firmware.

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

I did just post a link in the description so you can verify the firmware

[@shazpx]

My criminal mind thinks that I can get that Imei at the nearest gadget shop that has a 5G tablet as a demo and steal the Imei 🤣

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Lol this guy 😂

[@jessejames7074]

Yeah I got another question. If I get a 5G tablet and use the IMEI number as long as I don't put a SIM card in the tablet can I safely still browse the web with that tablet connected to the hotspots Wi-Fi? I'm just curious cuz I wonder if the carrier will detect that two devices are pulling data from the same IMEI number?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Yeah you can use it for WiFi. Just don't ever have both on at the same time if you have a SIM card in both. Better to just not have a SIM card in the tablet at all but yeah WiFi is perfectly okay even if the hotspot is on.

[@joejackson3328]

Will method work with visible wireless service and can i use a netgear aircard 815s thank you for the info

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

It would work with visible but I am not sure if it'll work with that Netgear air card. You would have to check the DC unlocker website to see if that's something that's compatible with IMEI repairs

[@joejackson3328]

@TheTravelinTruckah I did and it is compatible with imei repairs so that means it'll work right and thank you again

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

@joejackson3328 yeah you will be good to go. Use a tablet IMEI if visible has tablet plans that would be the cheapest option

[@joejackson3328]

They don't have tablet plans they only offer phone service so I'm assuming visible won't work 🤷🏿‍♂️ also it says imei number isn't compatible with visible does tablet I get imei number from have be unlocked also?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Well the problem here is your going to have to write a phone IMEI instead and your bill is going to be more money with a phone line. Since visible doesn't have a tablet line you can't use a tablet IMEI. Make sure the phone IMEI you use your not using that phone with a SIM card you don't want both IMEIs connected to towers at the same time this will flag the carrier and risk your account getting banned so whatever IMEI you use make sure the original device your not going to be using anymore.

[@StevenShearrilleXpRealty]

I received the following error when trying to repair IMEI: AT command error Do I need to insert the sim card when doing this step?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Sorry for the late response. Did you get it going? No sim card inside when you do it. Sounds weird but it could be your computer. Try using another computer. Also, does DC Unlocker work with the firmware version on your nighthawk?

[@greatgoosejoose]

I got this to work with home 5g internet imei and some But with a tablet line it works and then I get speeds under 1mb needing to reincert sim on tablet to get it working

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Hmm this is interesting I haven't had this happen before. What carrier is it and what tablet are you using?

[@greatgoosejoose]

It's on T-Mobile I'm using my tab S7+ Imei I was using the service on a diffent android device not sure if that would have anything to do with it I'ma try leaving the sim on my tablet for a week and then try again

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

That's same tablet I'm using but with att. When use the IMEI your not using any sim in the tablet anymore right? If you are that would cause issues.

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

That is a possibility you could call T-Mobile and ask them to update your IMEI for that SIM card and see if that solves it.

[@greatgoosejoose]

@@TheTravelinTruckah there tablet line does have 3g hotspot that might be the reason

[@papipix7496]

I have a question do i need to put a sim card in the netgear nighthawk? And also i have cricket as my cell phone carrier will it work with the nighthawk or is it Verizon and T-mobile

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

I have never tested it with phone sim card but any carrier will work however put the SIM in after you change theIMEI

[@danace6004]

Question; i have a MR6500 pro, If I proceed with this, would I still be able to restore the device to its factory settings using the factory reset button, should I ever want to revert to the default configuration?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

I'm not sure on this probably not but you could just put the old IMEI back on anytime you want.

[@JC-gd7rc]

So if I have a voice line I should use an imei for a 5g phone right not a tablet ?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

I would use a tablet

[@gilaleman5889]

Are you able to change the TTL if i want to use a regular phone sim?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

You could use a phone IMEI instead of a tablet. That would work.

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Not sure about TTL though. I don't believe so but again not sure.

[@ayodeleolusegun4732]

Can i use 5g phone’s imei and a tablet only SIM card with unlimited data plan or regular SIM card? Please kindly respond asap. Thanks

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Unfortunately if you use a phone IMEI you will have to have a phone line SIM. At least from my understanding. Unless you're carrier will allow you to use a tablet sim in an extra phone you have

[@MARATHAPUBG]

Hey bro!! Every iphone have 2 IMEI numbers so, can i use 1st IMEI as a regular cellular plan for iphone and 2nd IMEI for my nighthawk M6 pro. Is this going to be working because both IMEI’s are different so it should work completely fine. What are your thoughts on it???

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

I don't see why not but make sure whichever one you use your not using for the hotspot. Also I'm not sure if you will need a phone plan or if you can use a tablet plan with a phone IMEI but I'm theory yes it will work

[@andreyfox735]

Can I use IMEI from my friend's phone if he is on the other carrier (for example, Verizon vs my ATT wireless WIFI internet)? Did you had the same experience?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

No don't do that. You have to own the device and it can't be used at the same time on a cell plan

[@joejackson3328]

Ok @The Travelin Truckah I connected my m1 to laptop tried to see if modem was unlocked but Dc-unlocker saying no modem was found. Do i need a special usb i dont have original that came with m1

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

This i likely because the priority of the USB in networking is not set correctly. WiFi should be first priority as shown in the video

[@joejackson3328]

@TheTravelinTruckah well just want to update you that it didn't work says broadband data disconnected so cellular on m1 is a no go I used phone imei and it didn't work but thank you for all your help

[@ayodeleolusegun4732]

Hello, that was awesome but 5g tablets are so expensive! Do you a list of inexpensive 5g tablets that i can buy? I just ordered Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro 5G (MR6500) WiFi 6E Unlocked Mobile Hotspot Router from eBay and to buy a $600 5g tablet for this to work is unthinkable. What are your thoughts? Thanks

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Well you don't need a 5g IMEI of course without one you won't have 5g. My recommendation would be to buy a broken 5g tablet on that. You should be able to get a broken one pretty cheap. You only need the IMEI from it

[@ayodeleolusegun4732]

Thank you for response. Does it matter if it’s locked to any carrier or it’s better to buy the tablet that’s already unlocked. Thanks

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Don't quote me on this but I believe if it's locked the IMEI should still work. Although the tablet in the SIM wouldn't work. I'm not 100 percent sure though. I've always used att tablets because in my hotspot I use att

[@brandonwicks1412]

I keep having “test fail! Operation time out”. Do you know how to fix this?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

This sounds like you skipped the step about setting a priority level on your computer network interface and the program can't connect to the Internet. Sorry for the long response time.

[@iKoNz904]

Alright so let me go down my checklist. I buy a compatible 5g Netgear nighthawk, Wi-Fi hotspot . Then I buy a tablet that supports 5g connection, then I buy a 5g monthly data plan for the tablet, then I use the SIM card that’s suppose to be used for the tablet but instead inside the netgear & I change the imei of the tablet so that my hotspot is being read as cellular data?

[@iKoNz904]

Correct the order or understanding if you will .

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Sounds right to me except you would change the Netgear IMEI to the tablet IMEI

[@AndrewBlake27]

Sorry if this questions is dumb but im trying to understand this. So if i were to change the imei to a 5g phone imei number. I could use an unlimited cellular plan for the nighthawk? A plan with no hotspot data

[@AndrewBlake27]

I do pipeline survey work around the us and just picked up an m6 mr6150 and am tryinf to get portable internet i can use to game on n stuff

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Essentially yes but I wouldn't use a phone IMEI better using a tablet instead and getting a tablet line

[@AndrewBlake27]

@@TheTravelinTruckah what would be the reasoning for getting a tablet plan over a phone plan if you dont mind me asking

[@AndrewBlake27]

I see att has an unlimited 5g cellular plan where they dont slow down your data even if its busy i feel like that would be ideal if you could get it to work

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

It's significantly cheaper on the monthly bill and less likely to have issues as a hotspot is more like a tablet. Tablet lines are usually about $20 a month where phone lines are at least $40 a month.

[@jamesray9308]

I also got nighthawk m1 Imei repair with dc unlocker used iPhone 13 mini Imei with cricket/at&t phone service sim m1 nighthawk does not work with it you put it in says connected, then then says disconnected within two seconds

I wouldn't use a phone for the IMEI but I have not tested that. Possibly you need to use a different apn since it's a phone IMEI and not a tablet

Its hard to find a m6 pro with supported firmware.

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Very good question. I would recommend messaging people on eBay and asking what firmware version they have.

[@ReptilezDzn]

wait, its normal to have the mobile phone carries have this??? in sweden if you have unlimited its unlimited, some might slow down the speed if you use more than 20/50 gb a day but then its reset and you could buy back the full speed, used to be 100gb is 100gb hotspot or not

Where did you buy your m6?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

I got mine from ATT directly

[@JoseMendoza-gq1bx]

Maybe you may know the answer to this. I bought the M6 Pro, changed IMEI to my celluar tablet one, bought a data only Sim card from Tmobile, it wouldn't work on my unlocked M6 Pro. I called Tmobile to troubleshoot the issue, they said I had my hotspot on the Sim locked and that I need to enable it. I'm thinking why would I need hotspot, if we can trick Tmobile servers into thinking the M6 Pro is acting like my Tablet. In any case, it seems that the gig is up, at least with Tmobile and they have found a work around behind this method. Unless the hotspot will carry over to my data plan? What you think?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

It sounds like the IMEI could be wrong or not working. Are you sure the IMEI was entered right and saved successfully? It's not a blacklisted IMEI and not being used right? It's unlikely they figured this out. It is possible but very unlikely. Hopefully someone else can chime in and verify for you if they are having similar issues. Is it a 5g tablet or 4g tablet your using? Also, once you pay to change the IMEI you can change it on that M6 as many times as you want for free. Maybe try turning the hotspot data on and just see if the data is showing as hotspot usage.

[@JoseMendoza-gq1bx]

@@TheTravelinTruckah I bought 3 different M6 devices, thinking it was maybe the device, firmware etc. Changed IMEI etc on all 3, tried 2 different SIMs (phone and data sim cards) and it showed Tmobile that I was indeed using Hotspot. So I've returned the M6 devices and bought the GL.iNet GL-X3000. Had the device IMEI changed, did some command line changes, and now I'm getting what I asked for. 500+mb download speeds, no hotspot data, no data cap cause Unlimited Premium data. I couldn't figure out the M6 issue, but was lucky and able enough to figure it out for another capable device. I want to thank you though for your video, you gave me a reason to find something else that could work. No - More - Hotspot - Throttling. Cheers!

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Glad you figured out another method but I am surprised this didn't work and wondering what went wrong. I have a modded modem/router myself and that works the same as the m6 did for me aside from the process of changing the IMEI. Just really odd it didn't work and I'm sorry about that. I use mine with ATT and it's definitely not showing up as hotspot data being used but that's just ATT. I have tried it with Verizon and that worked fine but T-Mobile i use in my custom modem because I need the Ethernet jacks for the house.

Don't update it whatever you do just leave it at the version it's on. No it's usually not updated at least in my cases. The 3 I have all had a much lower firmware but some of the higher firmwares are not supported likely because Netgear patched/fixed the IMEI repair method.

[@howardzhao4685]

I did IMEI repair on MR5200 using my iPad IMEI number, and everything worked as expected for the most of part. I have t-mobile unlimited tablet plan. One interesting thing that I found is: if I connect my Amazon Firestick to MR5200, it still reported as “hotspot” data usage, which dropped down to 3G speed. Other devices connected to MR5200 are all reporting as normal usage. Just wondering why? If anyone experienced similar issue on other devices or other carriers?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Glad to hear you figured it out. I'm not sure why the firestick is using hotspot data I have att and I use a fire TV all the time with no data usage. If it helps I'm using an android tablet for the IMEI on an att business tablet line.

[@howardzhao4685]

Even more interesting as I am doing more testing on it, and found some of the traffics from Firestick were considered as normal, such as speed tests. But my KZbin TV stream is logged as “hotspot “ which in T-Mobile’s term, it was capped at 3G speed. It could be the difference between Apple devices vs. Android devices. I try the same with Apple TV, it worked just fine as normal data traffic. Thanks for the quick reply.

[@genoropesa9896]

I think you need to write it down.... step by step

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

Your the second one that said that recently. Do you have an updated firmware version? Can you double check that you have a firmware version thats supported by DC Unlocker?

[@TheTravelinTruckah]

What's interesting with your comment though is it seems like the device is replying back. AT commands are sent directly to the modem inside the nighthawk. Basically that error is saying the command failed or wasn't correct. Which again makes me believe you could have a higher updated firmware or something is wrong with the computer.

Congested area. Unfortunately I have no control over this with carriers. Some areas are good others not so much.
