unlocking

Connect the device to your computer by USB and install the dashboard software.
Close the dashboard and download these files and follow the instructions given below:
 
1. run 'qmat5.06'
a. hardwere forensics -> use mobile port
b. serial com port -> com4 - huawei mobile connect - 3g aplication interface (com4)
c. line where is "start" pick "Read EFS"
d. mark "Alternative Method"
e. hit -> Lets Go
f. save the file as xx.txt
g. if imposible to save xx.txt open saved file with NOTEPAD
2. open file xx.txt at the end you will see 8-digit number (see details at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw0VMvbtfto ), copy it.
3. open CardLock_UnLock-e58xx.exe and paste the 8-digit number and unlock (only if you see imei of your modem).
close all the windows.
4. put another SIM card into your device and see if it works





dashboard
The E538x will allow establishing internet connections with any version of Mobile Partner. However if you want to configure the WiFi-router settings you need a special version of Mobile Partner providing support for the E538x. Such E538x-supporting version is included on the flash memory (called "3 WiFi Manager" for devices from Three). Alternatively you can download a generic version of a E538x-supporting Mobile Partner from here.


factory reset
If you need to reset your unit to the defaults, press and hold Wi-Fi/WPS buttons for 5 seconds. If you have successfully flashed the unit with the instructions above, the reset will reset the default passwords etc. not the firmware. There is no way at this point, to revert back to the original firmware.

Anonymous Unlock/Debrand the Mi-fi(Huawei E5830)from 3UK? 2 Nov 3 2010, 4:26 PM EDT by Luna01
 
Thread started: Dec 11 2009, 5:41 AM EST  Watch
Hi, my friend just bought me a Mi-fi (Huawei E5830) from 3UK through the Pay As You Go plan. He said the sales person said that as long as I am within the 3 international network, I can even use a 3HK SIM (SIM from 3 Hong Kong) to get online. However, I cant get online when I insert the 3HK card, but I can get a roaming internet connection when I insert the 3UK PAYG card. Is there anything I need to set? or the modem is locked? If it is locked, can I debrand/unlock it by updating the "Mobile Partner" from other Huawei modem? Thx a lot for your help!
