As I wrote earlier (#52, #56), all unlocking steps for my EC156 camouflages as EC122 were performed successfully (firmware update tools didn't ask for a code) and Unlocked client showed "Not locked" for the modem. But I had no RUIM card to test.
Today I have purchased RUIM card from the local SkyLink operator. As I inserted the card into modem, connected it to PC and ran Mobile Partner (non-branded), it said "Only the specified UIM card can be used on the device". I ran Unlocker client 1.0020 and now it says that modem is locked again (both with and without RUIM card):

I tried to upload with EC156Update_11.106.00.06.000.B416.exe taken from your support area, it asked for a code. I entered the code provided by Unlocker client (34528025) but Updater tool said "Password error, update failure".
I tried to generate a code with Unlocked client but it doesn't accept all-zeros MEID code.
Why the modem could become locked again and how to unlock it back?

Unfortunately but this model is not supported by dc-unlocker at the moment, maybe someday in future, no exact date.Originally posted by hariadi View PostLeave a comment:

Download not branded connection manager from support area and try to use your device with it. You can find it in Connectin software -> Huawei -> file to download should be in this directory.Originally posted by mk.help View PostLeave a comment:

Are you using not branded connection manager to connect to other networks?Originally posted by mk.help View PostLeave a comment:

I found yet another firmware updater (EC156Update_11.106.03.03.113.B726.exe). In the binary image (the "BIN\250" resource), it contains several "V001:EC156:11.106.03.03.113" strings but additionally contains "11.106.07.00.113-BOOT" and "QCT 11.106.07.00.113" ones.
After updating to this firmware, Unlocker shows initial ESN/IMSI again:
MEID : 00000000000000
ESN : 12DF060C
IMSI : 000000000005964
Serial number : HIABYA92C0510498

It turns out that some identification codes read by Unlocker are firmware-dependent?Leave a comment:

Yes, thank you for this notice.Originally posted by emusic View PostI see I'm not the only guy with EC156 marked as EC122.
Googling with "ec122 CE1EC156M" gives many pages where EC122 has hardware version CE1EC156M.
Maybe it would be reasonable to mention in Unlocker tutorials and add some verification to the code?Leave a comment:

No these codes won't affect your usage of device in future. As dc-unlocker does not change such data in device i do not have information on how to do it if you'd like to.Originally posted by emusic View PostLeave a comment:

Thank you very much for pointing me to the hardware version. I'm not so familiar with Huawei modems to check it so I had no reason to doubt.
I bough this modem in China's store visiting China in March. It was packed to an original box (I thrown it away to save space in the luggage), had some papers inside and looked absolutely new and unused (photo 1).
Some stickers were on the box (photos 2 and 3). I don't know what these codes mean so I took the photos before throwing the box away.
After opening the case, I noticed that actually it is EC156 (photo 4). On the end of PCB, there is "CE7EC122M VER. B RF" mark. Does it mean that EC122 and EC156 share the same PCB?
I have downloaded "EC156_Firmware_TCPUR001B106D00SP06C000(Normal).zi p" package from your support area and the updater successfully downloaded the firmware:
CGMM name : EC122
MEID : 00000000000000
ESN : 00000000
IMSI : 111111110000000
Serial number : HIABYA92C0510498
Hardware version : CE1EC156M
Firmware : 11.106.00.06.000
Firmware Build Date : Feb 11 2011 18:58:01
Dashboard version : ChinaTelecom_V2.1.0(0516)_Mac21.005.15.00.45_Linux 21.005.15.00.45
Chipset platform : QUALCOMM
Chipset name : Qualcomm MDM6085
R-UIM settings: R-UIM Only
Lock status: Not locked
I have successfully updated the dashboard with UTPS16.001.06.01.500.exe:
CGMM name : EC122
MEID : 00000000000000
ESN : 00000000
IMSI : 111111110000000
Serial number : HIABYA92C0510498
Hardware version : CE1EC156M
Firmware : 11.106.00.06.000
Firmware Build Date : Feb 11 2011 18:58:01
Dashboard version : UTPS16.001.05.00.45_MAC15.001.08.01.45_LNX15.001.0 8.01.45
Chipset platform : QUALCOMM
Chipset name : Qualcomm MDM6085
R-UIM settings: R-UIM Only
Lock status: Not locked
But internal name is still EC122, MEID is all zeros and IMSI was changed from 000000000005964 to 111111110000000.
Both "normal" firmware updater and dashboard updater reported ESN 12DF060C after finishing but Unlocker always shows ESN 00000000 now. May these codes be meaningful for future modem usage? If yes, how to change them?Leave a comment:
