ZTE AC 30 (CDMA to GSM) Unlock problems

[akhoman]

also when tryin to unlock modem do not use original sim. i used an invalid at&t sim. it says on dcu to use invalid sim.

When you say invalid, use a gsm one instead of a cdma one right?

first u have to detect device on conn.software. After recognizing device it will configure device then u have to get a valid sim activated, then u should be good to go

Can you please explain it more?
What i have done is unlock my cdma modem using the dcu software and it says it is unlocked on the status.

How do i get a valid sim activated?

yes download through another internet access. but first try to do factory default reset by turning on the device then press the power button ten times in a period of 15 secs. then try to detect. if that doesnt work then download zte end user update tool. install software on your comp. then connect modem to comp. and run the update tool it will walk u through the steps. then try to detect let me know how u come out

What I have done:
1. used invalid SIm to unlock using the dcu software - status say it is unlocked.
2. can't add the new connection access / settings on the original cdma connection software, so I installed a new connection sofware (generic) but it will automatically remove the original one..hence no driver for AC30. Generic software wont install the AC30 driver. and i cant find the driver anywhere else.
3. tried to do a reset and also and end user update tool.

The main problem is the generic connection software do not have a driver in it.

i have a same problem with the same ZTE AC30 modem from Smartfren, Indonesian CDMA provider.

when i use a GSM card into this mifi, it says the network is locked! please input key to unlock the network. where should i get this unlock key?

also try the dc unlocker, so far this is what i got

found modem : ac30
model :zte ac30
IMEI : 000000000000000
firmware : +C GMR: BD_SMFAC30V1.0.0B06
compile date / time : x
chipset : qualcomm
sim lock status : unknown (read failed)

how can i get the IMEI number? because this device use MEID instead of IMEI.

If you do not see imei it may be that your modem is damaged. Sorry, you can not unlock modem if it does not have imei.
Try to detect with not original sim card inserted. Maybe this will help.
