FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS THREAD FOR NOVATEL MIFI DEVICES THROTTLE FIX.

Q.Is this permanent?

A.There is no way to say its permanent,anyone who makes a de-throttle tool or fix and says that would be lying.
However I can say this,while I have only recently been fooling with mifi's,through research & development I can see exactly how they throttle these novatel devices and have it completely disabled.


Q.Does that mean they can never be throttled again?

A.No they can use a switch based throttle. If they do, that will not be stoppable by any fix.Right now throttle is done from the device.

Q.Can you remotely fix throttle for me

A.No right now it is mail in service only,at some point I will probably compile a custom firm to address all these issues

Q.Has this been tested?

A.Yes,Elisa and myself have been maxing out several devices 24/7 since its conception.

Q.Has any re-throttling occurred?

A.No not a single device has been re-throttled,we have ran 30-40 gig on these devices non stop.

Q.do I need to get a new profile to do this?

A.Usually not but in some cases when we do not have the correct existing profile info you will.

Q.What novatel devices can you de-throttle?

A.This will work on all novatel devices,however,we are only offering 2200 at this time,4510L and the sprint variant(4620L) we will start offering in the next week as well as others.


EDIT:IF YOU HAVE YOUR DEVICE'S THROTTLE FIXED,DO NOT USE A DUU OR USE DFS TO RELOAD THE FIRMWARE,THIS WILL REMOVE THE REPAIR AND YOUR DEVICE WILL BE RE-THROTTLED.
HOWEVER LOADING A DIFFERENT PROFILE WILL NOT HURT THE REPAIR IF DONE CORRECTLY.


Please feel free to ask any "NOVATEL" throttle question here,this is the place for them.
