- Thread starter CornholioGSM

reprogram yes, but there is problem with copy data from sim...clonning new SIM's is big problem and is possibility of make sim dead
The "simplest" way is solder inside sim.

Damn. On your picture i could see, that the chip has a size of the nano sim. The problem will be to get a nano sim reader... Did't find any replacement for the Iphone 5. And then the soldering. I hate Moto more and more ...
i just thought that because it was an SD/SIM combo slot that might give us more space by replacing the sd slot tootoo large
I believe sprint cdma service works fine without any sim cards/chips inside the phone.

This ^^^^
CDMA providers don't use SIM cards, they never have. However, LTE does require a SIM, but this SIM is separate from the "Sprint" provided GSM SIM. That is for international roaming, under Sprint's rules. Now this guy can put whatever SIM in he wants, roam anywhere, and come back to the US and reactive the device on Sprint's network - assuming the ESN is clean, this should work no problems.
....Space for soldered sim is not problem... Problem is pace for sim card reader.
@ikv...diky kamo
Can't you just 3d print your own sim card reader? all it has to do is keep it in position so the pins touch, no? or even without a 3d printer what about using a nanosim to microsim adapter and soldering in the adapter. Then you can just snap in the nanosim inside the microsim adapter that is soldered in.
Otherwise considering the position, is not 3d printing another back cover to give more height clearance not an option? At same time it might be also possible to make the back cover removable so that battery can be swapped. (2 for 1 mod lol)
whats the best way to remove the keyboard foil so that it can be re used.
when it is reused does it still work ok?
can the process be done maybe with the foil on?

With foil on NO!!! The foil is sticker - can be easily peeled off and after work peeled on.
Its simple.
Its simple.
Height: 1.8mm....and i have approx 0.8mm
Here is a 1.54mm high connector: alibaba.com/product-gs/501396356/SIM_0010_Micro_SIM_Card_holder.html
Still higher than .8 mm, though...

now is inside my test sim - so is soldered directly
edit...So only place, where can be added sim slot is here and only micro sim:
...
What about just below and to the left of where you suggested? Looks like there is enough place for it there, without having to rip out the shock foam.

This guy right here is full of win:
I had to actually run through this twice, possibly due to this:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38837493&postcount=8
I went ahead and let it sit for a minute before rebooting the phone, and I used the phone itself to reboot, rather than RadioComm's restart button.
After modding NV Item 8322 that second time and rebooting, my freshly SIM slot modded Photon Q just made a phone call on AT&T in the USA. Am I first?44
