Hi, I Purchased a brand new ZTE-MF70A tonight at 8:22
and after playing with it a bit i got on the Whirlpool forum to ask about unlocking it. The guys pointed me in your direction and like a good little boy i read your FAQs and it said "download and scan your modem to check if it is supported(recommended) ", So i did just that.
I clicked Modem-ZTE modems, Model-auto detect(recommended) and clicked on the magnifying glass. Result, It detected my modem and promptly rendered it useless
, No GUI, Won't auto install drivers and in Device manager now comes up as Other devices "ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM" with the yellow exclamation point!.
It is now 2:43 am and i am a little frustrated, I have searched through dozens of forums and saw one virtually identical(no joy) except for the fact that i did not even attempt to unlock my modem, I just replaced the not yet activated Telstra SIM with an Optus one, Scanned it and POW-dead modem.
Would very much like to see your reply/advice about that!.
P.s: It Still seems to broadcast an SSID so maybe i didn't just blow $60 and 5 1/2 hours of my life?. HELP.
