BEWARE....!! Flashing of Huawei UMG1831 to K4505 Firmware

[melvinjg]

Dear Members...

Those who own the Huawei UMG1831 Webconnect rocket Modem, or those who are planning to purchase the modem... kindly don't upgrade the firmware of your modem to Huawei K4505 modem firmware just for activating Voice call..!!!
This can result in the erasure of the IMEI number of ur modems, and the sellers might deny the replacement.
The update is possible due to a bug in the firmware of K4505, but the firmware doesn't backup properly the existing modem data including IMEI number (as it's incompatible).
This can result in the losing of IMEI number, when you try to downgrade the firmware or install some other version of firmware.....!!!

P.S - voice call maybe activated in the newer firmware updates. So its better to wait, rather than regret...!!

sorry its not a firmware... this is mobile partner... one link is direct mobile partner link and another one is mobile partner flasher which will update your datacard's internal dashboard(t-mobile webconnect or huawei mobile partner) to mobile partner version 16.001.06.01.500

Dear Kausthub :

The Vodafone fimware is for Huawei K4505 and NOT UMG1831....!!
Kindly don't misguide the readers.
Those who wanna upgrade their UMG1831 dashboard(T-mobile) can follow the links given above.
I prefer using the T-mobile firmware itself for the modem, instead of the mobile partner firmware.
For PC, u can use MDMA or Mobile Partner Software...!! Both are good.
Mobile partner software standalone version is available... which will install the software just on PC... and which doesn't flash the modem firmware to Mobile partner one.

Your above view is correct.

But I have one doubt .....

...........instead of the mobile partner firmware.

Mobile partner will install only application SW. Will it update the FW also ?

Is this model UMG1831 still good buy or I should buy the E1750, E1752 ? anyone using this ?thx!

 

[brahmi]

I'm using Huawei umg 1831 from nov 2010, no issues with it. Recently purchased new umg from ebay.in for cousin

 

[Deleted member 13033]

what is difference between e353 and 1831 ?

 

[brahmi]

Even i don’t know , both are 21mbps modems .
Actually i wanted to purchase Huawei e353 for my cousin from ebay.in but when i contacted ebay seller he said huawei e353 supports only 3G network, doesn’t support 2g network (gprs/edge). Bsnl 3g some times switches to 2g network , in that case this modem is not usable.
I have asked many ebay sellers ,none of them gave me proper answer some said it doesn't support 2g network ( only 3g) and others said supports 2g &3g network. I got confused and purchased huawei umg 1831as it supports 2g and 3g network.
Even asked here

You can get huawei umg 1831/e353 for 2250rs-2300rs from ebay.in using 10 percent discount coupon ( idea)

 

[Deleted member 13033]
