Huawei Modem Unlocker V5 8 111
HALEY SCHANDELMIER
I need a huawei modem unlocker for Ubuntu 14. My modem is a permanently locked one(Customized Firmware). So I usually temporary unlock it in windows 7, and then reboot and boot to Ubuntu for it to work. However I share my pc with other users and they cannot understand or perform the method of booting to windows for unlocking followed by rebooting to Ubuntu, every time they need to use internet. Here is a link to the software I use on windows 7 to temporary unlock my modem: -content/uploads/2012/11/Huawei-Modem-Unlocker.zip. I have tried using this on wine but it cannot detect any ports. I have tried using the "mcphail/linux_huawei_unlocker" but is doesn't work with modern modems such as my e173 u-i as the developer himself "Neil McPhail" told me. I have tried using the following command prompt methods: -3g-modems-and-using-them-on-other-networks/, -tweaks-to-unlock-huawei-modem.html, -3g-usb-dongles-in-linux/ but they all cannot unlock my device. As regards to using mobile partner to manually insert the unlock code when prompted, my modem has a customized firmware therefore the usual mobile partner unlock code prompt was removed and replaced with "only specified sim can be used on this modem". I have tried flashing it with firmwares but since it has a cutomized firmware from my simcard provider's company, It cannot be flashed with normal huawei firmware upgrades/downgrades. Linux Modem Manager does not prompt for unlock code as well. Please if enyone knows of a temporary modem unlocker that works in linux, please help. Also please inform honestly if I'm out of luck. Even Dc unlocker(paid) doesn't unlock my modem. Thanks
-Blog/solvedubuntu1010andhuaweie160e12d1140c did not work at all. I deem the issue there is different from mine as my modem is locked by sim provider's firmware, not a detection problem at all. Essentialy, when it is unlocked in windows 7 via huawei unlocker( -content/uploads/2012/11/Huawei-Modem-Unlocker.zip), it works fine and as long as I dont halt my pc or unplug modem, it stays unlocked. Rebooting does not relock it as well therefore allowing my to use in in ubuntu without problems. But I cannot seem to find a temporary unlocker for linux.
I ran I run lsb_release -a; uname -a; lsusb again but this time without my modem unlocked by windows 7 first. Here's the result with a different result at the "Bus 001 Device" line as you can see below:
1. If you enter a wrong pin for three times, the device gets locked and has to be unlocked with a PUK code.
2. Several network operators provide subsidized device, with a specific lock that they work only within their own network (SIM-lock)
3. Several devices (among them HUAWEI ones) can operate in two modes: when inserted they behave like a CD-Rom to provide software for installation (usually for Windows only), and when that software is installed, the devices is switching itself to work as GSM modem. The usb_modeswitch package should support that functionality on Ubuntu.
It's not easy to find cheap modems that have 3g and yet they suport all simcard due to the lack of such devices being sold in my area. Finding that sort of what you call cheap is actually very expesive due to lack of importation of such. Since I cannot achieve variant 2, I guess I have no other option than to stick with windows. Thank you all for your help.
Linux Huawei Unlocker is a tool that attempts to automatically remove the carrier lock on Huawei mobile broadband modems from the Linux command line. It automatically finds IMEIs, calculates unlock codes, checks SIM lock status, displays remaining unlock attempts, and asks the user for confirmation before trying the unlock code.

Have a Huawei Modem with locked to a primitive network? Then need not to worry as here we have a special Huawei Modem unlocker tool that will unlock your modem for all network operators.
Navigate to your modems homepage (usually by entering an IP address such as 192.168.8.1 into your browser address bar) and go into the Advanced Settings > Device Information. Write down your IMEI number. Alternatively, you can look inside your device, underneath the battery.
After starting the software users are instructed to connect the modem to the computer. The device will be detected automatically. Alternatively, it is possible to manually scan all USB ports to locate the hardware. Please note that non-Huawei hardware is not compatible with this application. The next step is to calculate unlocking codes by entering the IMEI number associated with the new SIM card and clicking the corresponding button in the main window.
Users can increase maximum download and upload speeds for certain modem models. However, it may lead to hardware overheating and unstable connection. It is easy to roll back all changes in case of technical difficulties.
For security reasons, the home phone component of your previous service with us is encrypted and requires the use of our modem to make and receive phone calls. Unfortunately, the company has made a business decision to not make the VOIP settings available for 3rd party routers.
If you are going to use the modem for internet access with the same type of technology which is Fibre to the Building, all you need to configure is the PPPoE username and password and you're good to go.
Coud you please give us any solid and clear instruction on how we can unlock the modem so that we can setup with another configuration. This is frustrating to buy new modem for every other ISP change.
As mentioned above by my colleague. Our supplied modem/router's Authentication feature is not locked with TPG, this can be used on other ISP. In the event that it does not work, you will have to raise this with your ISP to confirm if there is an advance Authentication setting required to connect the modem to their network.
The Home phone/VoIP feature was locked by TPG for security purposes, this will not work using any 3rd party ISP.
