A method for personalizing a secure element (SE) in an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) factory. The SE receives a generic, unbound SE operating system (OS) from a first server and installs it. The OS launches in a manufacture state, preventing mobile network access. The SE sends an in-factory profile request to a second server, including a token generated from a binding identifier. The second server returns a mobile network operator (MNO) profile bound to the identifier. Upon successful installation of the MNO profile, the SE sends a factory install notification. The second server then issues a command to switch the OS to a live state, where it becomes fully functional but restricted from sending further in-factory profile requests. Finally, the SE switches its OS to the live state.
