Can you do the same test with the 7.2 Mbps-update for the Option Express 7.2 Ready?
Here’s an official Vodafone firmware (Bite):
http://images.bite.lt/bite/files/pub/bite_lv/en/device_addon_files/Option_upgrade_en.pdf

[...] go to Mobile Connected website and download firmware 11.117.09.00.00. The download link is at the end of the article. Download it [...]

My modem always disconnected suddenly after I upgraded it. What could be wrong?

Can you give the download link to downgrade the firmware?

I tried this firmware update, but after starting the update the modem registered as being not connected and the process terminated. The modem is no longer recognised as such. Is there a way to recover from this bad flash?

Panic over! I uninstalled and then reinstalled Mobile Connect and set up the device again. I ran the 7.2Mbps firmware update (leaving the Forced Download box blank) and it worked.

I have a Cnet modem & I use VNPT user. How can I up my speed ?
I mean how can I use Mobile Connect to up my Speed ? Is that compatiable ?
(I come from VietNamese)

can anyone tell me how to unlock my huawei e220?

Is there a version for MAC OS X (10.5) ??? CAn’t work with a PC+windows… Thanks a lot !

I don’t know much about software updates. I have downloaded the new version. Can someone send me a link on what process to follow to uninstal old and instal 7.2 version.

The firmware upgrade works properly with E220 provided by Wind Italy too.
Thank you!

Fast…..but …if internet consumer use data/volume based (not time based)…the billing will blow up…

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 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 have E220, its curently locked to Voda.
what is the proceedure? ulock first ? or can attempt the spped upgrade first (on locked modem)?
anyone who had this scenario, pls advise best way to proceed.
cheers

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

FirmWare 11.117.10.00.00

did not test it yet…

;)

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.

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.

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 !!

Всем привет. Народ, где можно скачать эту прошивку E220 11.117.10.02.00.B268?

You may download firmware version 11.117.10.00.07.B268 here:

http://www.sendspace.pl/file/PqGraeia/

will it work in srilanka mobitel?????????

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.

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

[...] Bei mir funktioniert es tadellos, aber natürlich gibts keine Garantie und keine weinenden Beschwerden, wenn irgendwas schief geht: Huawei E220 – 7.2Mbps firmware update [...]

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

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

try to go to your e220 tools options an go to network type an select 3g only

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.

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.

oh dear i am celcom customer, after i download the file dashboard on my e220 it has change to maxis… how do i go about this?? i need to change back to the celcom? pls help. thanx

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

What will this flash of firmware do to my serial number and IMEI? Will this be preserved? Or will it wipe it? And also, will this remove branding from the software and drivers, that are stored on the device, that is installed when first plugged in?

Thanks,
Steven
