OK guys this for All the PPL here that got a Broadband package with a Locked Huawei E220 HSPDA modem, for those who don't know what Modem is locked means, only SIMS from a specific network work on the modem, (Lets say u decide to ditch one service provider and go with another thats not possible with a locked Modem now does it lmfao). ok lets get to business.

This stuff will be needed to make this work

.
3. Now!!!, select read EFS option from the drop down list, its allready selected on this screenshot, then hit the Lets go button, give the filename efs.bin, itll take a few minutes to read the complete EFS to the file (its about 32MB in size).
