To unlock this one you will need to downgrade it first
firmware https://files.dc-unlocker.com/backen...CCE61C68984600
software https://files.dc-unlocker.com/backen...4A7C16A0231944
After downgrade, detect modem on DC-unlocker with both com ports and then unlock

Thanks this was helpful. I have successfully install the firmware, but the challenge is I can't unlock the modem. I was asked to run the DC-UNLOCKER as an admin, I followed the instruction but to no avail. Please see the error message below:

You should check device manager, modem will be detectable only when modem is visible under ports and modems sections.

Thanks.
The modem is detectable in device manager, yet I get the same error
