Can't update firmware in E173

[brice1452]

Hi. I've tried everything possible to update firmware in E173. I've been googling and checking forums for days! Reason for updating firmware: enabling voice, which is not supported in current firmware.
Output from DC-Unlocker.

----------------------------------------------
Detecting card :

selection :
manufacturer - Huawei modems
model - Auto detect (recommended)

Found modem : E173
Model : Huawei E173
IMEI : 3520980XXXXXXX
Serial NR. : A75TAB10XXXXXXXX
Firmware : 21.015.01.00.266
Compile date / time : Jul 19 2010 19:04:41
Dashboard version : HOST_WIN_1.0.21.0_MAC_1.2.8_LINUX
Voice feature : not supported in current firmware
SIM Lock status : unlocked
Wrong codes entered : 0 (unlock attempts left : 10)

When running E173Update_11.126.85.00.209_B427, I get past flash password request, which is validated, then backing up user's data, and then:

The wireless terminal inserted is not Firmware, update wizard can't work on. Update Failure!

I've tried with other firmware, but no luck. Tried from different PCs (Win XP, Win 7, etc.). I couldn't try with generic Mobile Partner drivers, as E173 is not detected. Only with original dashboard...

Any chance to get an updated firmware for E173? Anyone was able to sort it out?

Thanks!!!

Sorry, dc-unlocker can not help you with firmware updates.
Try to check for other firmware update file.
