    Huawei E160 .156 firmware folly

    *Sigh*

    I found this site by googling

    And have now managed to upgrade my unlocked and previously .00 firmware to 11.604.21.00.156 and realised that this is a '3' branded one. (ok stop laughing newbie mistake)

    I checked using DC-U and it is unlocked.

    Found modem : E160
    Model : Huawei E160/E160G/E160X
    IMEI : 3*********1232
    Firmware : 11.604.21.00.156
    Dashboard version : UTPS11.300.05.00.03_MAC11.202.08.00.03
    Serial NR. : D***********44
    SIM Lock status : unlocked
    Wrong codes entered : 0 (unlock attempts left : 10)

    I bought 5 credits and ran the firmware code from IMEI using the one from the Dongle that has the .156 firmware installed (I have another one that is not locked and also still has the old .00 firmware and have to connect to the web using that one which is complicating this process slightly)

    I have now tried upgrading my firmware to E160Update_11.608.05.00.00.B409 using the firmware password that DC-U generated. and swapping the dongles round so that the correct one is in the USB port.

    The firmware fails to update after entering the password.

    Any ideas?

    You mean that's a wrong password? ...than you made an error when put IMEI number into dc-unlocker software...

      Check, if only 1 modem (then one you want upgrade firmware) is connected to computer at firmware upgrade. It should not be connected to internet. Try to use other firmware upgrade file.

        I had my suspicions that it was because of the confusion between connecting to the web via one dongle and then swapping the dongle out to update the firmware, either that or the security on my work laptop.

        as soon as I got home I installed DC-U and checked the firmware code, then updated using the same firmware file. all worked ok.

        thanks for reading / helping though.
