Does reflashing the AT&T f/w over the generic f/w lock the mifi ?

Thanks for you help

If device unlocked by dc-unlocker, firmware update should not lock it back.

generic 5.25.2 for mifi2372

Where can I get the mifi 2372 generic firmware, even buy it. I flased it by accident with the bell firmware and now only have Hello World as landing page.

When I tried to re-flash the ATT f/w over the generic f/w, I was getting an error with an "unknown string" error message. Someone else reported that too. I had to return my device to ATT for replacement. I'm out in the country, far away from the ATT tower, and I was not getting good d/l speed with the generic f/w (coincidence?). The d/w speed was great near the tower, however. The ATT f/w seems to give me better speed at my location. Other than that, the generic f/w is fine except it does not have the gps and dnla server. Not a big deal. I do not remember if it lets you access the storage card. hope this helps.

Thanks flymooney

That did the trick!

Having the same Issue!

I was trying to get the right drivers setup to unlock my AT&T and found some notes that loading the MUU for Bell (20418759_MUU_MiFi2372_Bell_FW5.26.2_ML3.00.57_Loc ked_Pkg.zip) at the same time the unlock program is running that I could then connect and unlock. That worked great, but I accidentally installed the Bell firmware on my AT&T device. It upgraded my firmware to 5.26.2.01, but it fails to upload the HTML files so now I can't access the device with a web browser.

Any tips on how to get the AT&T firmware installed again? I tried a factory reset with a paperclip, but that didn't work.

I did the same thing Now I am stuck with the hello world! Could someone please help by posting the Generic Firmware for the 2372?

Thanks Steve

No good here. I'm still looking for the generic 5.26.2 MiFi 2372 firmware that I can try to flash the unit with. It has the Bell firmware now and I'm getting only "Hello World" for my management screens.

Anyone have a source for the generic firmware that will load on a 2372?

[flymooney]

This is my experience also. My 2372 did not accept the 2352 firmware.

At my location, the ATT firmware was giving me 4Mbits d/l speed, as opposed to about 1.2 Mbits with the generic firmware. Just a coincidence? I don't know.

So I tried to re-flash with the AT&T firmware (version 7.11.02) from the Novatel Wireless site , but it failed. At this point, it looks like I have no other choice than using the mifi with the generic firmware or returning it to AT&T for replacement. Any other ideas?

I tried it, and it says it's not upgrade compatible. "device not compatible for upgrade"

[yaylol]

This should also work! There are no differences except the frequency band!

I see the 2352 firmware listed there, but no 2372 files at all on dc-files.com
