Huawei Vodafone K5005 alias E398 LTE modem dongle

[dilimotmihai]

Hi,

Didn't the previous firmware have a bigger version number: E398_firmware_11.433.57.00.260.B757? (It's 57 instead of 25)
I'm not sure if operators/carriers modify the firmware (except probably Vodafone, that disabled a band in k5005). I know that they brand the Mobile Partner. It would be nice if Huawei would release a changelog. Wishful thinking.

7.7.2 Description
This command is used to set the characteristics such as system mode, GW access sequence, band, roaming support and domain.
This AT command is for legacy use only. We prefer to use ^SYSCFGEX first. If
^SYSCFGEX return error. And then fall back to this command.

7.8.2 Description
This command is used to set the characteristics such as LTE/GSM/WCDMA access sequence, band, roaming support and domain.

7.8.3 Defined Values
<acqorder> Network access sequence reference, The parameter is string type, whose value is as follows or with the exception of “00” and “99” parameter as combination:
“00” Automatic search
“01” GSM
“02” WCDMA
“03” LTE
“04” CDMA
“05” TD-SCDMA
“06” Wimax
“99” No change
For example:
“03” LTE Only,
“030201” Search LTE first, and then WCDMA. Last search GSM.
“0302” Search LTE first, and then WCDMA. Don’t search GSM.
“030402” Search LTE first, and then CDMA. Last search on WCDMA.
“00” Can not combine with other value. Only use for setting automatic search.
“99” Can not combine with other value. Only represent “No change”
