Unlocking Huawei modem: description and instruction
Many are interested in the question of how to free unlock any modem from the Chinese manufacturer Huawei, without having any special skills at the same time. Use for this manipulation is best special programs that select codes to lift the ban. Unlocking the Huawei modem is a simple matter. More details are in the following.
Introduction
Almost all cellular operators prefer to block their devices in order to prevent its use by another provider. This can be explained from a logical point of view.
As a rule, operators sell routers with shares, that is, they are much cheaper than they actually cost. Of course, we are talking about using them only with their SIM cards. Locking is considered a standard feature, which is provided since the time of creating software (firmware) for it. However, who said that there is no reverse option - unlocking the modem Huawei?
How to learn IMEI devices?
In order to get the unlock code, you need to determine the IMEI of the modem. What is it? This is a unique mobile device identifier, consisting of 15 characters. You can find it by looking at the body of the device.
For example, the modem Huawei E173 it is located under the main cover. If you can not see the code, you can learn IMEI programmatically. To do this, you need to connect your modem to the computer, go into its properties and determine the port that is used for the device.
Now we need to open a terminal program, which is standard for some operating systems - Hyper Terminal, PuTTy and so on. If you do not have one, you can download it from the Internet. This program to unlock the Huawei modem is easy to manage. To start, you need to enable the local echo, then you can see all the commands that are entered from the keyboard. After connecting the modem, enter ATI. If all is correct, the program will display a dialog box in which the IMEI of the device is specified.
There is also a simpler method for obtaining this code. You need to download a program called DC Unlocker Client. After a successful download, click on the "Find" button. The security will find the used router and will show all the information about it, including IMEI. Immediately you can find out how many attempts there are to enter the unlock code (according to the standard there are only 10). If they do not remain, then with a modem with the help of such a method to lift the ban will not work.
Unlock code
How do I get the Huawei modem unlock code? It can be of two types. If the old modem is a modem, then a combination created using the OLD Algo Unlock Code algorithm is required, if NEW Algo Unlock Code is new.
In order to get the unlock code, you must download any "Anlocker" or find an online resource that is capable of giving the right combination. You need to enter the IMEI device in the special field, press the "Calculate" button. In response, the program or site will generate the code.
Unlocking the modem
How to unlock Huawei modems for use with other operators? On the Internet, quite a few tips, but most of them do not give clear instructions. It will be presented in the article further. Let's consider each step in detail. It should be noted that unlocking the Huawei E171 modem does not differ from the methods described below.
Anyone who ventured to take such a step should remember that unlocking is dangerous for the modem. There is a possibility that he will eventually stop working.
The principles of unlocking the modem from this Chinese manufacturer are not much different from the methods used for the devices of any other companies. However, the router is not weak protection, so you have to tinker a bit.
There is a possibility that at the beginning of the flashing the modem will give an error under the code "2". This problem is easy to solve. It is enough to reconnect the device and install the connection manager. The software must be "native", otherwise there will be an error during the download. Typically, it indicates the lack of administrator rights or the lack of a modem. The "native" manager installs all the necessary drivers and programs necessary to work with the router. Only thanks to it it is possible to reflash the device without problems.
Next, you need to change the manager to the one that will allow you to work with other operators. There is probably that this is the end point in the configuration. If, after inserting the SIM card, the router beats out the error, then the following two methods should be considered, which will help resolve this situation.
Do not forget that unlocking the modem Huawei 827F and others should be done without inserted SIM cards, external storage. On the device you need to turn off "Anti-Virus", the Internet. It is best to perform this process on a computer that is connected to the network using a cable, rather than on a laptop. In addition, it is desirable to use an uninterruptible power supply. Otherwise, if the power is cut off unexpectedly, the modem may fail.
Method number 1
An excellent solution for unlocking the modem will be downloading the firmware, which has already been created to work with a particular operator. It must be installed on the router. After inserting the SIM card, the owner will see the code that is requested to unlock the device. How to solve this? It is enough to launch a special "Anloker", which thanks to its mechanisms is able to select the desired code. This is done with the help of IMEI. On the Internet there are free options, so do not give money if on some resource for the program they will be required.
Method number 2
Another effective solution that allows you to easily unlock your own modem. You will need a program that checks the router for whether it works with SIM cards of "foreign" operators. If he can do it, then there is no problem. If not - you need to download "Anloker", which by IMEI can create code like NSK. After that, you should return to the above program and enter a combination in it. Then click on the "Unlock" button. After that, the router is unlocked. Similarly, you can unlock Huawei's Megafon modem.
Method number 3
It is necessary to download certain programs, as well as manuals for working with them. To begin with, you need to install the firmware from the manufacturer, then the utility to create codes like NCK, Flach by IMEI. Also, you need a program for the correct operation of the manager and instructions for flashing the device.
Now that everything has already been installed, you need to remember the IMEI router. Next, you need to run "Anloker". You should also enter the previously stored device code here - a dialog box will open. After that, the user needs to click on "Unlock". Another dialog box appears, in which two sets of numbers will be displayed. You should remember the second one. What to do next, while unlocking the "MTS" of Huawei modems?
You should run the firmware that you downloaded earlier. If it did not request a code to unlock, then the installation path is simple. You must accept the terms of the agreement, wait for the download to finish. Will beat error number 2, but after it continues installation, and eventually the router will be rewritten. After that, you need to disconnect the modem and reconnect it. Now it is necessary to change the connection manager in such a way that after inserting the "foreign" SIM card, he requested an unlock code. After installing the new security, you need to disconnect the router and reconnect it. A dialog box appears in which you will be asked to enter the unlock code. Earlier there was an instruction to remember him - the second one in "Ankloker". It remains to reconnect the device once again, to put on it a more successful firmware, if it is necessary. After that, the device will be ready to work with any operator.
Firmware router for operators of other countries
Recently, an urgent discussion was the issue of flashing the Huawei router for operators of other countries. This process is simple, similar to the usual one described above. Therefore, below we will consider the three most effective methods, thanks to which it is possible to unlock 4G Huawei modems .
Method number 1
You need to find the connection manager that can support the operators of interest. There are some disadvantages, for example, on the Internet such software for routers from "Huawei" is rather difficult to find. On some models it simply does not exist. But among the advantages I want to note is that when you use this option, even if you change the operating system or the computer, you do not have to re-write all the data.
Method number 2
It is necessary to find the firmware, which will allow to enter all the data in the manual order and specify the necessary operators. This will unlock the Huawei modem. From the disadvantages of this method, it should be noted that you should know all the settings for accessing the network. After changing the operating system or computer, you will have to re-enter all the data. From the pros: in a few minutes you can access the Internet of any operator of the country. The method is good and in demand.
Method number 3
The latter method involves the revision of any open source firmware. Then you can "pour" it into the modem and work with it. However, this is difficult, and you need to have some skills. If you have "extra" money, you can always contact the person who does it for the user. Unlocking the Huawei modem, as it became clear, is quite easy.
Results
As you can see, the process of unlocking modems is pretty simple. There are different ways, but their technologies are almost identical, which guarantees their implementation. Do not fork out for an expensive modem with the already available function of working with other operators, because you can just try to unlock your own. In this there is nothing complicated. It is practically impossible to bring the router into an inoperative state with the help of the methods described above.
