I spent most of the yesterday working on this. The +QPRTPARA=3 did reset to LTE connection but speed was only 0.02 Mbps upload and download. Modified the configuration to 3G (WCDMA) only and made connection with reasonable throughput but the connection locked approximately a half an hour after.
It appears that the connection was using an AT&T feed on Band 5. When restricting connection to Bands 2 and 4 only I connected to T-Mobile’s Band 2 and was able to download data for a short while even though the UI showed the “Sim not registered” message. I should note I have a very weak signal power (-115) at the house.
Doing more research online I came across some forum posts describing problem with at least some EC25AF modems locking up due to minor power variation during bootup. See links:

Can anyone provide more feedback?
