We recommend powering down a Boron or Electron before changing SIM cards for extra safety. Also, you need to power down completely to reset the modem to recognize the SIM change on the Electron anyway.

However, if you did change the SIM with the power on you should not have damaged the device. Just power it down again (remove battery and USB power), and then use the 3rd-party SIM instructions:

Thanks for your answer I see your post about flashing firmware is also for flashing 3rd-party?
