Huawei E220 – 7.2Mbps firmware update

Download Huawei E220 – 7.2Mbps firmware update from:

/files/E220Update_11.117.09.00.00.zip
Don't forget to read the comments below for details!

I’ve just got my mits on the latest firmware for the Vodafone Huawei E220. This update upgrades the modem to download at speeds up to 7.2Mbps – compared to the standard 3.6Mbps. I’ve just installed it and run a speed test in a 7.2Mbps area and I’m getting average speeds of around 2.5Mbps, peaking at 4.3Mbps (see the NetPerSec screenshot). The lack of receive diversity on the device will prevent it from hitting speeds much higher than this.  The usual disclaimers apply here – if you want to install the update do so at your own risk.

    miah,

    It will work with any providers, but if they find out that it is unlocked then you lose guarantee. This can happen most probably when you tell it to them :)

    Thanks, UK here on 3 and upgraded to 11.117.09. following the above and it now reports 7.2Mb so this works.

    I had previously unlocked my E22o for free using the instructions and software here http://unlocke220.com/

    I put in my orange PAGY sim and I can connect over GPRS (slowly) but it works. Use the access bundle to cap at £1 per day though.

    there’s a mobile update for huawei e220 firmware… im using it right now… its 11.117.10.03.99
    it’s fast.. there’s also a mobile partner that i use which maxis broadband company in there website delete it because of some technical issues.. the mobile partner 11.030.01.10.99

    that is the latest as of now… the mobile partner software in maxis broadband has a wan status when you go to Tools -> Diagnostics -> WCDMA tab which has the info of firmware and the IMEI and -> Wan Status tab that has a complete info of the ip and dns server you connect and its network id which it connects and the signal db info to its cell ID..

    both will help boost your internet connection and when you mixed it with TCP Optimizer it will increase technically about 10% of its speed…

    great stuff huh.. email me if you want the files.

    Hi!!!

    I downloaded to my unlocked e220.

    The only problem is me e220 won’t pick up 3g signal…??

    I put the sim into my phone and it picks it up fine, but the e220 will only pick up gprs which is incredibly slow, it’s an orange sim and they claim to have the best coverage in my area and acording to their website it should be excellent??

    Anyone know why my e220 can’t pick it up???

    I am using mobile connect

    I am wondering about these reciprocal posts that written down in here because some says it works well and some says it doesn’t work well ,what are the manning of these things .?? I have just downloaded and ready to installed this “firmware 11.117.09″ on my PC but now I’ve scared to install it on my PC because most of one got serious troubles with it and one of a guy got an error after Installed it in few days .!!!!

    SO WHAT I HAVE DONE NOW .?? Can anyone here who can guarantee is it really works with Vodafone E220 USB Modem ,because I really want to speed up my download speed, most of times I got EDGE or 3G in some days I got GPRS not HSDPA so now I worry about this speed, most of one in here said they got better speed after this Installed .

    when Vodafone Mobile Connection Software Indicates the connection is HSDPA then I got 1or 2 bar(s) (speed is 512/768Kbps) unless I got 3 or 4 bars when It connected as EDGE or GPRS but download speed is very slow.!!!!!!!!
    I tried to connect with network by using “Huawei Mobile Partner”
    but the result is same as previous not indicating any increasing of download speed

    if you can really help me then please send me an Email to my address because I am not going to install it on my PC with a RISK

    Thanks

    And to everyone with Three.co.uk contract in the UK , this firmware on the top of the page (11.117.09.00.00) works perfectly for me. Just for information how to upgrade step by step, but remember I accept no liability, as what worked for me ,might not work for you.
    Tested on Win XP.
    1. Make sure you have your PC and modem turned off for a while, because usually the modem gets hot if you use it, so let it cool well before you start the update.
    2. Take the SIM card out of the modem, then start the PC.
    3. Start the 3 connection manager, it will complain that there is no SIM, and the “Connect” button will be greyed. Close theconnection manager window – CLOSE, do NOT just minimize. It will pop up with a messa ge whether you really want to close it, click yes.
    4. Start the firmware update program and follow the instructions.
    5. Wait a minute before you press “Finish” when the updating ends.
    6. Turn off the PC. Insert the SIM card back in the modem.
    7. Do not forget to insert the SIM card in the modem !
    8. Start the PC. The version of the firmware listed in the connection manager window should say 11.117.09.00.00
    Enjoy

    Works fine on Optimus Portugal, thank you :)

    Сергей, а зачем же тебе прошивку 11.117.10.02.00.B268 ?
    Скачай та прошивка которая на верху здесь – смотри в конце начального поста.
    Там прошивка 11.117.09.00.00 , но она прекрасно работает. Я уже поставил и работает класно. Я етот пост через обновленной модем делаю :-)
    Связь улучшилась. На модемное окно ничего не изменилось, но страниць|й бь|стрее откриваются.
    Извини мой Русский, ето не мой матернь|й язь|к.

    ENGLISH below:
    Sergei, maybe you won’t need 11.117.10.02.00.B268.
    Download the firmware on the top of the page – look at the end of the starting post.
    The version there is 11.117.09.00.00, but it works perfectly. I already updated and works top class. I am posting this through the updated modem :-)
    The connection has improved. There is no change on the modem window, but the web pages now load faster.
    Pleaase excuse any mistakes in my Russian language, as this is not my native language.

    thanks a lot hoto
    the procedure to unlock E220 manually worked for me with an SFR E220 (French Vodafone)

    However, the offset was not the same as you with my firmware 11.115.

    I searched on hex 5364 and found the unlock key (8 numbers). don’t remember the offset.
    I used the SFR desimockage tool which is probabbly the same as your from here
    http://www.sfrentreprises.fr/elements/documents/espace-utilisateur/global_access/Huawei_E220.zip

    You had to use Mobile Partner to use another ISP bcse VMCLite seems to be Vodafone locked.

    Great !!

    Hi there,

    I made a tutorial about unlocking your E220 card. You will be directed how to get the unlock code in the EFS of your card. Maybe it will work with other model, not tested though. The code in the picture was tested with a T-Mobile E220 with network locked. Leave your comment there either you successfully unlock it or not.

    I hope you find this usefull.

    I have now upgraded to the Huawei E272. Does anybody know where I can get the latest software and firmware for it please? My service provider is Vodacom South Africa.

    You do not need to upgrade, as i know, if you can use E272 normally, there is not necessary to upgrade, because the faster speed will not appear after you upgrade it.

    Whenever I installed new upgrades, my modem gets disconnected frequently. Is there any measures to prevent this?

    I tries to install the software maybe 20 times. It just won’t detect my E220. I tried following instructions on the Huawwei site which suggested uninstalling first but that didn’t work either. And the link on the Vodacom site isn’t working.

    I did manage to increase my E220′s download capability to 7.2Mbps, but the question is now can one increase the upload speed from 384kbps to 1.4Mbps? Does anybody know? Your comments will be much appreciated. My service provider is Vodacom South Africa.

    I got the same problem. Firmware upgrade was aborted by the installer for some reason, and now the device will not show up at all. I tried to uninstall Mobile Connect in hope that the USB would show up again, however, it didn’t. Now i don’t even have the Mobile Connect software, since that was located on the USB – that doesn’t show up…

    Here is the latest firmware available (11.117.10.03.99) @ http://rapidshare.de/files/47569770/E220_11.117.10.03.99_Firmware.exe.html
    & the latest dashboard available (UTPS11.030.01.03.297) @ http://rapidshare.de/files/47569676/UTPS11.030.01.03.297_MAC11.202.08.01.297.exe.html

    The dashboard is to work with Dialog GSM Sri Lanka. Doesn’t matter create your own service profile. It should work as normally as it is working in my Windows XP Pro system. The dashboard is much newer than the one that is available on Huawei.com
