Zte 823 d for any operator. Firmware and unlocking of the ZTE MF823D modem

Unlocking and flashing a modem, be it Beeline, MegaFon, MTS, Tele2 or any other, despite the simplicity of the action, is a responsible step. And yet it’s worth it - the reward will be complete freedom of choice best tariff any of the cellular providers.

a 3G/4G

The motivation for the firmware is to change the tariff of the cellular provider without having to buy one for each of them modem.

The fact is that in pursuit of additional profit, the cellular company blocks the use of SIM cards from competing operators. In a good way, there are no physical reasons to prohibit the use, for example, in modem e, sold by Beeline, SIM from MegaFon, MTS, Tele2, Yota, Rostelecom and regional operators. All modem We use the same 3G and 4G standards (UMTS-900/2100 and LTE-800/2600, where the number indicates frequencies in megahertz). And here it becomes possible to “untie”, for example, device Huawei E1750 or router ZTE-MF90+ from MTS or Beeline.

Cell phone unlocking methods modem ovs and routers

There are three approaches to unlocking:

unlocking without firmware;

firmware with already unlocked;

changing the firmware version - then unlocking is performed separately.

Here are completely free and proven methods. There is no need to buy any “loans” or anything else - modem s and routers can be unlocked for free if desired, and after unlocking they work flawlessly for 10 years or more.

How to unlock and flash modem s from Beeline

Don't create unnecessary problems for yourself! Often you can limit yourself to a simple unlock modem but without reflashing it. This is the easiest way - your device will work for 100%, because the highest goal of the subscriber is to get rid of the “binding” to the operator. Firmware only makes sense when modem or the router supports more high speed, but its “native” firmware prevents it from overclocking (a software limit on the maximum connection speed, “built into” the current version of the software, 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 is an application imposed by Beeline.

It is unlikely to be useful - other programs are used

Previously, it was called BID (“Beeline Internet Home”). The size of the program window is set rigidly, closes everything on the desktop Windows desktop. Inconvenient.

You can unlock the ZTE MF180 by replacing its native program, for example, with “MTS Connect Manager”. Before flashing the firmware, the Beeline and MTS versions may be incompatible, which is why the PCUI.VN file in memory needs to be replaced modem A. To flash ZTE MF180 you need:

correct PCUI.VN file;

MTS Connect Manager firmware;

QPST software package.

Easily found on the Internet.

Use a laptop, preferably with Windows XP SP3. Do the following.

Download and install the QPST application.

Download and extract the required firmware files.

Insert the ZTE MF180 into a free USB port of the laptop and wait until the standard Beeline program finishes.

Go to the dispatcher Windows devices("Start - Control Panel - System - Device Manager") and check virtual devices modem and ZTE MF180, for which the appropriate drivers have been installed, in particular, ZTE Diagnostics Interface. Remember which COM port this device “sits” on - it will be useful in QPST.

COM Diagnostics Interface

Run the QPST program and add the ZTE Diagnostics Interface port to it.

The application is ready to find the modem port

Click the add new port button.

Select your ZTE DI port

The header of the new device with your COM port is available. Launch the QPST - EFS Explorer component ("Start - Programs - Accessories - EFS Explorer").

EFS Explorer detected a port with a modem

Confirm the port selection - the files will open your modem device.

There should be pcui.vn, because of which the modem does not accept other people's SIMs

At the root of flash memory modem but there should be a PCUI.VN file - if it is not there, you will have to add it. Find and drag it into this window - PCUI.VN will be copied to the drive modem A.

Close EFS Explorer and run the MTS firmware (original file DL_MF180_MTS_RU_EUV1.00.03.exe). IN Windows versions Vista and later “firmware” from “MTS” is launched with administrator rights.

It is important that the PC power does not reset

Once you have clicked the download button, device it will be sewn. This will take up to 20 minutes. Don't touch anything!!! Interrupting the firmware can damage the modem!

You have successfully flashed the modem

After finishing the firmware, remove the Beeline program from the PC and use modem point no restrictions with unlimited tariffs any operator. When reconnecting modem a to USB port MTS Connect Manager will be installed.

Don't forget to set up network profiles by checking the APN with the relevant operator. If you have active Internet access without settings, APN settings will not be needed.

ZTE MF180 firmware for specific networks

Instead of MTS Connect Manager, you can download any software, be it MLT (MegaFon of Tajikistan), Egyptian Etisalat or other at your discretion. Sometimes they do this - their firmware may contain a “cured” PCUI.VN - then they change it to our Russian one.

If you are flashing for Yota, keep in mind: on “ modem Yota will not allow 3G in the current tariff modem s to the 3G network from MegaFon! This is the company's policy and marketing, unfortunately. No one has yet been able to bypass this limitation directly. You need a “smartphone” or “tablet” SIM - with these tariffs you can use the 3G network, but you need to change the IMEI and fix the TTL. It’s easier with other operators: they don’t yet have a tariff exclusively for modem devices (only for 4G), you can also use the 3G network (where there is no 4G yet) without much difficulty.

The main disadvantage of the ZTE MF180 is that it does not have HSUPA technology (high-speed uplink up to 5.76 Mbit/s). Only 384 kbit/s is available for transmission from the subscriber (limited WCDMA speed according to the 3G specification) and incoming speed (HSDPA) is only up to 3.6 Mbit/s, therefore these modem They are already considered old.

Firmware and unlocking ZTE MF823D

This device still popular- its mass start of sales occurred in 2015 along with the ZTE MF90(+) routers. These models support incoming speeds (DC-HSDPA+) up to 42 Mbit/s for reception and outgoing (HSUPA) up to 5.76 Mbit/s for uploading in 3G networks, and also provide up to 75 Mbit/s (in both directions) in networks 4G (LTE). Using them is a joy: 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 monthly, and are also useful when working via the Internet, where urgent sending of attached files by mail and transmission of video from objects and video chat (video conferencing) are required ) in good quality.

Modem The ZTE MF823D is controlled not from a program, like its predecessors of previous years, but from any browser at m.home/index.html (or 192.168.0.1 by default): configuration and monitoring are carried out via a web interface, thanks to which you can local network connected to the Internet from this modem and, manage its settings. Its firmware does not put in Windows system separate application, and after installing the drivers, ZTE creates only the “Beeline Internet” shortcut. But this does not mean that it will be less easy to unlock. Do the following.

Download and install the driver package for ZTE devices (archive with the ZTEDrvSetup program).

Insert ZTE MF823 into an available USB slot and open My Computer. Modem will be detected as a virtual CD-ROM - give the command: right-click - “Extract”.

Open the familiar Windows Device Manager and find three unknown devices and "ZTE MSM Technologies".

Launch any browser, for example, Firefox and enter the address http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_process?goformId=MODE_SWITCH&switchCmd=FACTORY - the device response will appear: (“result”:”FACTORY:ok”)

At the same time, the installation of unknown devices will begin - as is the case with old ones ZTE, these will be three devices: ZTE Diagnostics Interface, ZTE Proprietary USB Modem and ZTE NMEA Device.

Remember the ZTE Diagnostics Interface port number (let it be COM8) and download the unlock file (the “cured” original is known as “diag1F40_F0AA.bin” or something similar).

Run command Windows string with administrator rights and give the commands: cd \ (if the file is saved on drive C:) and copy /b diag1F40_F0AA.bin COM8 (port number on which the modem). Application command line will report successful copying of the file.

File copied

Install a terminal emulator such as Putty application, connect to the ZTE Diagnostics Interface port and enter the command AT+ZCDRUN=F. Modem will again be available as a CD-ROM, only now it will be unlocked.

Connect to your port and enter your commands

All! Modem ZTE MF823 unlocked. Go to its web interface and enter the settings of all operators.

E589,
E589u-12.

Do the following.

Download, install and run the “Huawei NCK Code Calculator” program (search, for example, using the phrase “lookdevices.ru huaweicalc_win32.rar”).

The program will select an unlock code

Enter IMEI and click "Calc."

Copy the appeared v201 to the Windows clipboard, install it in modem “foreign” SIM and connect it to the computer.

Wait for the unlock code request to appear and paste the copied v201 code from the clipboard. Confirm your entry.

After a few seconds, the code will be accepted and the SIM card will be registered in the network, modem will move to the 3G/4G network. All! You can use any network with any SIM - the unlock code is saved once, device will never ask him again.

Don't create unnecessary problems for yourself! Flash modems for all SIMs at once - and let them give full benefit, without preventing you from changing the tariff if something happens! Good luck!

The article published below provides easy setup 4G Beeline modem ZTE-MF823D and Upvel UR-354AN4G router

We unpack the router and connect our pre-configured modem to it into the USB socket. We switch the computer’s network card to the mode of automatically receiving settings from the network. Turn on the device's power button. Over time
The network card on the computer receives the network settings (by default, routers use the address space network 192.168.10.x, the router itself has an address in this network 192.168.10.1, and at this address software for managing and configuring the router and the devices connected to it is available.

Connect to the router, default user admin password admin

After connecting, the router interface will become available, but in English:

Switch to Russian language, language support buttons in the upper right corner.

We set the data in strict accordance with those shown in the figure and save the settings by clicking the save button. The modem is configured and ready to distribute the Internet access service, there are some small details left:

1. The modem receives service from a network with the address space 192.168.0.x, has its own management console available at 192.168.0.1, and here we need to make the final settings.

2. Since by default we wanted the Internet to rise automatically when the router’s power button is turned on, we set the settings in accordance with the picture above

and click CONNECT:

We will save the address of the control console of the modem (not the router, but the Beeline modem) in a browser bookmark, it will be useful for the future)))

That's all, use it!!!

Subsequent articles will provide instructions for upgrading the modem software to work with any cellular operators.

Description of a simple method on how to flash and unlock the ZTE MF823D modem. The need for this arises for certain reasons. For example, you purchased a Beeline modem, but after some time, disappointed with the quality of the connection, you decided to switch to Megafon. There are two ways out here. Either buy a Megafon modem, or remove the Beeline block. Unlocking is necessary so that the modem can work with a SIM card from a third-party operator. After the unlocking procedure, you will be able to use the services of any major cellular operator.

Most affordable option, how to unlock the ZTE MF823D 4G modem. We connect the MF823D modem to the computer into a USB connector without a SIM card! A web interface window necessary for managing the device will open in the browser. In the address bar we see: http//:192.168.1.1 or http//:192.168.0.1, or http//:192.168.8.1.
The next step is to switch the modem to ports mode. It's done like this. Copy the command into the address bar of the browser:

http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_process?goformId=MODE_SWITCH&switchCmd=FACTORY

If necessary, insert the required number into the command. Let’s say if it was http//:192.168.8.1, then we enter the same thing in the command. Press Enter and go to this address. If everything was done correctly, the modem will switch to ports mode, displaying the response result: FACTORY: ok in the browser window.

This can also be done using the dc-unlocker program.

Or run executable file SCSI.exe, located in the attached archive https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_NrIMeqHIaYMUk5NjZiRExWME0/view?usp=sharing

Another way to unlock ZTE MF823D

Follow steps 1 and 2 from the first instructions. Then double-click the file_DVA.cmd with the name of your modem, located in the folder you created on the C drive. Give permission to SCSI.exe to run. Select the diagnostic COM port in Device Manager - it should open automatically and that’s it. The modem operates in mode network card and unlocked.

Unlock method for ZTE MF823

This article describes how to unlock the ZTE MF823D 4G modem. The presented methods are simple, clear and effective for flashing and unlocking ZTE modems. Write in the comments who managed to unlock your device and who had problems. Attach screenshots and detailed description.

ZTE MF823- one of the few modems present on Russian market, which is built on a chipset Qualcomm 921 5. A very popular and powerful one was built on a very similar chipset Huawei modem E392, from which it even adopted part of the internal architecture. However, these devices are completely different. Compares favorably ZTE MF823 the fact that the device now operates not in regular modem mode, but in network card emulation mode (RNDIS). Driver Free technology, which is used in the modem, allows you not to install drivers and special programs to control the modem. It works on board the modem Linux similar BusyBox system, which certainly provides enormous opportunities for setting up the network and controlling the modem via the command line.
