Guide: How to Unlock the Vodafone Huawei E220 Modem

[gayannr]

bro i faced the same problem.. now overcame it.. do cancel the wizard at first.. that is most of us doesn't do.. it should work..



it took me about 1 min or somthing like that to unlock..

try it..

by the way the things we are spking before is only reguarding the plagiarism issue. and now its over.. and i should also admit that the reason which made me register to elakiri forum is also this thread..

It isn't related to the Firmware update wizard, I closed it before QMAT

are you sure.. if you canceled the firmware update wizard after the dongle is detected then it takes much less time to dump the memory.. something like 30 sec to 1 min. If not then only it takes hell of a lot of time to dump. did u cancel the wizard after detecting the modem??

The qmat ver i hav used is 399. iv also tried other vers.. all works perfect.

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.

Warning : Im not responsible for any consiqences you might face after you follow this guide.

This stuff will be needed to make this work

E220 firmware update
A Hex Editor like XVI32
QMAT - QC Mobile Analysis Tool
E220 Simlock Unlocking tool

1. Run the Firmware update wizard wait till it detects the modem and then cancel the Wizard.

2. now Run the QMAT - QC Mobile Analysis Tool, Choose Use Com/Usb port Menu Item from the Hardware Forensics Menu. ull see a window like this. select COMx - HUAWEI Connect - 3G PC UI Interface (COMx) option, then click the send CMD button, you will see a bunch of text appear below in the output box and it will say "Successfully send command" if u dont get that message u messed up so do all of above again .

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).

4. After the dump is completed, fire up the Hex editor, open the efs.bin file u just created, and search for this Hex Value 53 64 2c 00, Right next to it you will find the Unlock code for the Modem. this is my modems dump....

See i have highlited the Hex chain and the unlock code its very easy to find, unlock code is a 8 digit number for this device.

5. Now fire up the E220 Simlock Unlocker tool, Enter the unlock code u just discovered, Violah ur done. u get ur self a fully unlocked Modem tha u can use with any subscriber ...

Enjoy guys...
