Unblocking and flashing a modem, be it Beeline, MegaFon, MTS, Tele2 or any other, despite the simplicity of the operation, is a crucial step. And yet it's worth it - the reward will be full freedom in choise best rate any of the cellular providers.
a 3G / 4G
The motivation of the firmware is to change the tariff of the cellular provider without the need to buy your own for each of them modem.
The fact is that in the pursuit of additional profits, the cellular company blocks the use of SIM-cards of competing operators. In an amicable way, there is no physical reason to prohibit the use, for example, in modem e sold by Beeline, SIM from MegaFon, MTS, Tele2, Yota, Rostelecom and regional operators. Everything modem We use the same 3G and 4G standards (UMTS-900/2100 and LTE-800/2600, where the number stands for frequencies in megahertz). And then there is an opportunity to "untie", for example, device Huawei E1750 or router ZTE-MF90 + from MTS or Beeline.
Cell unlocking methods modem s and routers
There are three approaches to unlocking:
Here are completely free and proven methods. You don't need to buy any "loans" or anything else - modem s and routers, if desired, will be unblocked "for free" and after unlocking they work flawlessly for 10 or more years.
How to unlock and flash modem s from "Beeline"
Don't make yourself unnecessary problems! Often you can limit yourself to a simple unlock modem but without reflashing it. This is the easiest way - your device will be working at 100%, because the highest goal of the subscriber is to get rid of the "binding" to the operator. The firmware only makes sense when modem or the router supports more high speed, but its "native" firmware prevents overclocking it (the software limit of the maximum connection speed, "embedded" in current version Software that cannot be disabled in any other way) - this was the case, for example, in the first LTE- modem ah Yota and in 3G modem e Huawei E1820.
How to unlock and flash modem ZTE MF180 ("Beeline") for all SIM cards
When connecting to a PC USB port for the first time modem installs the program "USB- modem Beeline "- an application imposed by the" Beeline "company.
It is unlikely to be useful - other programs are used Previously, it was called BID ("Beeline Internet at Home"). The size of the program window is fixed, closes everything on the desktop Windows desktop... Inconvenient.
You can unblock the ZTE MF180 by replacing its native program, for example, with "MTS Connect-Manager". Before flashing, the Beeline and MTS versions may turn out to be incompatible, which makes it necessary to replace the PCUI.VN file in memory modem but. To flash the ZTE MF180 you need:
You can easily find it on the Internet.
Use a laptop, preferably with Windows XP SP3. Please do the following.
COM Disgnostics Interface Port
The application is ready to find the modem port
Select your ZTE DI port
EFS Explorer has detected a port with a modem
There should be pcui.vn, due to which the modem does not accept other people's SIM
It is important that the power of the PC is not reset
You have successfully reflashed the modemAfter the end of the firmware, remove the "Beeline" program from the PC and use modem point without restrictions with unlimited tariffs any operator. When reconnecting modem and "MTS Connect-Manager" will be installed to the USB port.
Do not forget to set up network profiles by checking the APN with the respective operator. If you have active access to the Network without settings, you will not need APN settings.
ZTE MF180 firmware for specific networks
You can download any software instead of MTS Connect Manager, be it MLT (MegaFon of Tajikistan), Egyptian Etisalat or whatever you want. Sometimes they do this - their firmware may contain a "cured" PCUI.VN - then they change it to ours, Russian.
If you are stitching for Yota - keep in mind: on " modem nom ”tariff Yota will not start up 3G modem s to the 3G network from MegaFon! This is the policy and marketing of the company, alas. No one has yet been able to get around this limitation directly. You need a "smartphone" or "tablet" SIM - at these tariffs you can use the 3G network, but you need to change the IMEI and fix the TTL. With the rest of the operators it is easier: they do not yet have a tariff exclusively for modem devices (only for 4G), you can use the 3G network (where there is no 4G yet) without much difficulty.
The main disadvantage of the ZTE MF180 is that there is no HSUPA technology (high-speed uplink up to 5.76 Mbps). Only 384 kbps are available for transmission from the subscriber (limited speed WCDMA according to the 3G specification) and the downstream speed (HSDPA) is only up to 3.6 Mbps, therefore these modem We are already considered old.
ZTE MF823D Flash and Unlock
This device still popular- its mass start of sales fell on 2015, together with ZTE routers MF90 (+). These models support up to 42 Mbps downstream (DC-HSDPA +) and up to 5.76 Mbps uplink (HSUPA) upstream (HSUPA) on 3G networks, and up to 75 Mbps (roundtrip) on networks 4G (LTE). It is a joy to use them: the Internet channel becomes more symmetrical and allows you to satisfy the appetite of the most sophisticated subscribers who consume hundreds of gigabytes of traffic every month, and is also useful in work via the Internet, where urgent sending of attached files by mail and video transmission from objects and video chat (video conferencing ) in good quality.
Modem ZTE MF823D is controlled not from the program, as its predecessors of the past years, but from any browser at the address m.home / index.html (or 192.168.0.1 by default): configuration and monitoring are carried out through the web interface, so you can local network connected to the internet from this modem a, manage its settings. Its firmware does not install in the system Windows standalone application, and after installing the drivers, ZTE creates only a shortcut "Beeline Internet". But this does not mean that it is worse to be unlocked. Please do the following.

Unlocking the ZTE MF180 modem from MTS and BEELINE to work with all sim cards.
Checked on MTS, BEELINE, MEGAFON Russia. Refuses to work with Brazilian sim cards. Asks for the unlock code.
Additional bonus: voice activation (the ability to make calls)
ATTENTION! NOT SUITABLE FOR ZTE MF180 MODEM S
These modems require mechanical intervention in the design.
If you have a modem from BI, then there are two options:
1.
(although in my practice people got a voice on the modem, but no one used it, only a couple of times for acquaintance)
We are flashing with the official firmware of MTS
You can leave the official program from MTS, just register the profiles of other operators. You can call there.
2.
Flashing with Etisalat firmware, Egypt
After that, we simply register the profiles of other operators and use it.
If the modem is from MTS
1.
If you need a voice call:
Flashing with Etisalat firmware,
Then we flash it with the official MTS firmware
Why sew first one, and then again from MTS? Then, after the first firmware, the modem will unlock, after flashing it again on the MTS, the voice is re-activated.
You can leave the official program from MTS, just register the profiles of other operators. You can call there.
2.
If you don't need a voice call:
We are flashing with Etisalat, Egypt firmware.
After that, we either use the native Egypt program or put any image for ZTE with a connection manager in the modem. I put an image for ZTE from a megaphone ISO with a Windows manager. (Not necessary)
The very firmware of the modem. Operating procedure:
It is advisable to flash it on a stationary computer (preferably with a UPS), or on laptops with a connected power supply, otherwise, if the network is lost, the modem will either fall into or die altogether. Insert the modem into the motherboard, into the REAR USB connectors(optional, but desirable). Many computers have poor-quality cables to the front connectors and there is a drop in power supply.
XP is also desirable.
1.
Download drivers for modems ZTE
2.
Download Firmware
3. Remove all managers from the computer that are present on it. Clean up the registry.
4.
Insert ZTE MF180. Refuse to install the program that is in the modem. Go to "My computer" => right click on the CD-rom of the modem => "eject"
In the device manager, three new ZTE devices will pop up (after the firmware from MTS four. Three main + voice). Specify the path to the folder with drivers manually.
5.
Run firmware
Press the firmware button.
Do not pull out the modem and do nothing on the computer until the end of the firmware.
Pour the image into the modem, the easiest way is to use
Also using the QPST program or the plug-in for the total commander.
The image file must be named ZTEMODEM.ISO and in no other way (and in capital as it is written).
Filling the image:
If the software is not installed from the modem.
Insert the modem into the computer.
Refuse to install the program that is in the modem. Go to "My computer" => right click on the CD-rom of the modem => "eject"
If three new ZTE devices pop up in the device manager. Specify the path to the folder with drivers manually.
Launch ZTE MF ISO-Upgrader. The program will determine which port the modem is on. Select the ZTEMODEM.ISO file. Flash. After pulling out the modem and restarting the computer. Next is the standard software installation from a modem.
We use it, we rejoice.
The site administration does not bear any responsibility for the curvature of users. All actions you do at your own peril and risk!
Run MF626UpdateTool_GLOBE_PHV1.2.exe.
After starting the program, you will see an interface with an inactive download button, which is activated after the device is detected. Next, click on the download button and the firmware process will go automatically. It is recommended to flash modems on computers with installed Windows XP sp2 or sp3. Automatic firmware mode is divided into several stages:
- checking the equipment before starting the firmware;
- saving a backup of nv parameters (basic modem settings) to a file with: \ Channel1;
- transfer of the modem to Download Mode;
- loading new software into the modem;
- restoring nv modem parameters.
After a successful flashing, the modem can be used immediately. If the firmware fails software due to unforeseen circumstances (turning off the light, viruses, incorrect computer settings, etc.), then your modem will most likely die (stop working correctly). This will most likely happen after the modem, as a result of the firmware, is transferred to Download Mode to download the new firmware, and at this moment the hardware fails and your modem remains in Download Mode. This modem is not dead in the literal sense of the word, it just needs to be used in a specific mode. At the end of the firmware, turn off the modem, uninstall MTS Connect Manager and reconnect the modem, wait for the program to be installed in automatic mode... In principle, this is all, it remains only to create a profile corresponding to your operator, after which you can work with SIM cards of any operators. Setting on the example of Megafon:
Launch, click "Add".
We register " Connection name", "Dial number", "APN", press" OK", Then " Set as default.
Settings for operators differ in points:
"Connection name"- here you can write an arbitrary name, in this case- Megaphone.
"Dial number" - *99***1#
or *99#
"APN" - This is important point, each operator has its own:
Megaphone: internet
Beeline: internet.beeline.ru name: beeline password: beeline
MTS: internet.mts.ru name: mts password: mts
Tele2: internet.tele2.ru
Utel: internet.usi.ru username and password are not required, leave blank.
This information is available on the help page of your operator.
Allows you to send / receive SMS, view / edit the list of contacts of the SIM card.
P.S. There are Beeline ZTE MF626 modems with an antenna output that do not go into Download Mode, these modems cannot be flashed in this way. For them there is special firmware that flashes and unlocks the modem. Compatible with ZTE MF627 modem. Download. After the firmware, you can replace ISO image on Mobile Internet. The download link is at the top of the topic.
Hello method seekers unlock the ZTE MF180 beeline modem. I will try to show and describe it to you in detail. I'll say right away that there is nothing complicated here, if you strictly follow the instructions below. The firmware will make it possible to use the modem with any SIM cards from different operators. It will even be possible to make phone calls if you have a microphone. There is a 3g modem zte mf180 from the mobile operator beeline. This is how it looks
When connected to a computer from a modem, a program called "Beeline Usb Modem" is installed.
This program is not only inconvenient to use, it also has a huge window that blocks a lot of space on the screen. In addition, it does not allow the modem to work with SIM cards from other operators.
You can unlock Zte mf 180 beeline by flashing it with firmware from mts. But when you try to do this, the firmware program swears at the version mismatch. We need to replace the PCUI.VN file in the modem's memory, after which the firmware from the mts runs without problems. If you are not scared, I describe the procedure, how much patience is enough, in detail.
For a safe firmware with unlocking the ZTE mf180 Beeline 3G modem, you will need the QPST program, the PCUI.VN file and the firmware itself. All this in one archive can be downloaded at the end of the article. I also put this instruction inside the archive.
Crucial note: I strongly recommend that the firmware be carried out on a computer (Windows XP SP3) that is not buggy, with an uninterruptible power supply, since a power outage may render the modem unusable. If you are not sure about your computer, use a computer in which you are sure. This will help avoid many problems. On a laptop or netbook, it is safer to do all this, since if the power goes out, the update process will not be interrupted, since they will be powered from the battery.
Let's get started
Attention!!! The steps below helped me to flash and unlock multiple modems, BUT in very rare cases, the same actions can cause your modem to malfunction, so decide for yourself whether to start the firmware. All further actions you take at your own peril and risk.
1. Insert the modem without a SIM card into a free USB port(recommend from behind system unit). We are waiting for the computer to detect it and install the program "usb-modem beeline" from the still unprocessed modem.
Select it and click in the menu "File" -> "Copy from Phone ..." and click "OK". After that, select it again and press "Delete" on the keyboard, confirm the deletion by pressing "Yes". Now open the folder " Zte firmware mf180 "we extracted it to the desktop. Inside it in the folder "Here is the PCUI.VN file" is the file "PCUI.VN" drag it into the window of the "QPST EFS Explorer" program to the free space. Make sure PCUI.VN is then in the root directory (i.e. not inside folders). Close the window.
6. Start the firmware process modem zte mf 180. To do this, run the firmware program which is located in the folder "Firmware mf180" and has the name "DL_MF180_MTS_RU_EUV1.00.03.exe". If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, be sure to run the firmware with administrator rights. That is, right-click on the icon and select "run as administrator". The window "Update software for MF180 MTS Russia" will appear, wait until the "Download" button becomes clickable and press it.
After that, the process of the modem firmware itself will begin. It is advisable not to use the computer at this time, no matter how multi-core it may be. It is strictly forbidden to touch the modem. During the firmware process, the modem will turn on and off several times, do not pay attention to this - this is normal. Also, the program "USB-modem beeline" may appear and disappear, it also does not need to be touched.
The process took me 14 minutes 31 seconds. After completing the firmware process, click "OK" and close the program if it remains open.
7. The firmware is completed, now you need to disconnect the modem from the computer and remove its previous program "USB - Beeline modem" from the computer.
8. After uninstalling, plug the modem back into the USB port and install the offered "Connect Manager" program. This is what her window looks like.
If you are going to use the SIM card of the MTS operator, you don't even need to configure anything, just insert it into the modem and connect.
If you intend to use a SIM card "Megafon", "Beeline" or other operators, you need to create an appropriate profile, set an access point and save it as default.
Profile setting table in the modem
If you are not confident in your abilities, ask a more knowledgeable person to follow these instructions. If you have questions - ask in the comments on the site. Happy firmware.
P.S. Request: before flashing, check which one is in this moment firmware in the modem. This is done in the program "USB-modem Beeline" in the information section or the like and send it to me using the green button in the lower right corner of the screen. Thanks.
Attention! These are the firmware versions of the modems that were successfully flashed in this way and their owners sent them to me.
ZTE MF823- one of the few modems present on the Russian market, which is built on the basis of a chipset Qualcomm 921 5. On a very similar chipset, a very popular and powerful one was assembled modem Huawei E392, from which he even took over part of the interior architecture. However, these devices are completely different. Advantageously distinguishes ZTE MF823 the fact that the device now works not in the mode of a regular modem, but in emulation mode network card(RNDIS). Driver Free technology, which is used in the modem, allows you not to install drivers and special programs to control the modem. A Linux-like BusyBox system is running on board the modem, which certainly provides tremendous opportunities for configuring the network and for controlling the modem via the command line.
