unlocking huawei e220

unlocking huawei e220..manually

below is my attempt to unlock a huawei e220 datacard. so please understand, i do not take any responsibility for your actions with this information.

let's get it right, shall we...

preparation

1. E220Update_11.117.09.04.00.B268.exe2. QC BQS Analyzer3. Hex Editor4. E220 SimLock_UnLock.exe5. E220 DataCard in your USB port

the work

run the E220 Firmware Update Wizard until datacard is detected and cancel it. your e220 will be detected more easily by QC BQS Analyzer.

run QC BQS Analyzer, choose 'Communication' - 'Use Com/USB Port'. a 'QC Com Diag Window' will appear. test your connection.

1. set your Serial Com Port (3G PC UI Interface, not the other one)2. click 'Send Cmd'

you'll get 'Successfully send command.' and output similiar to the textbox. If you got no response at all (no output or 'CommError'), you have to restart the process.

set 'Read EFS' from Standard Mode dropdown menu, click 'Lets go'. name the file (efs.bin), save it.

open saved file with hex editor, search for following hex-chain: 53-64-2C-00, and you should see the unlock code.

run E220 SimLock_UnLock.exe, enter your unlock code.

thanks a lot !worked for me with an SFR E220.

However, the offset was not the same with my firmware 115.

I searched on hex 5364 and found the unlock key (8 numbers).I used the SFR unlock tool which is probabbly the same as your from herehttp://www.sfrentreprises.fr/elements/documents/espace-utilisateur/global_access/Huawei_E220.zip

Great !!

2008 September 5 23:43

xvrsfrnssks mengatakan...

you're right. as in remarks, the firmware version is 11.117.09.04.00, and the unlock code is located exactly at offset 0x0030169.

2008 September 6 02:10

Norbert mengatakan...

Ahh, nice. Thanks, it was also good for me, but my unlock code wasnt at the positon what you said... My code was near 0x0001a50-0x0001a60, but I found it when I try to found "53 64"... so it was a great idea :)

2008 September 21 07:54


alan,

run firmware update wizard until detection screen then cancel, somehow this will make the card to function properly when using with qcbqs.

not all efs gives you visible code, imo. good luck to you.

QC BQS Analyzer is no more.

Do NOT use QMAT 3.74 from rapidshare.com as it is buggy and it was uploaded to rapidshare without permission.

Get new version at http://revskills.de

I follow exactly the guide inside this tutorial.

I just want to know what exactly Hex Editor are u using, because i use Hex Editor Neo, and XVI32 to find the 5364 but no luck. This is my efs.bin file, maybe u can help me?

Originally, efs.bin is 32MB, then i compress it -> 172KB. efs.rar

http://rapidshare.de/files/40628828/efs.rar.html

2008 Oktober 7 00:07


@eusz,

your code should be 20528130 at offset 0x2daf6

2008 Oktober 7 00:24

@ xvrsfrnssks

I also have problems finding the hex sequence - flashed with few versions of firmware - no matching code:(here is my efshttp://rapidshare.com/files/151866027/efs.rar.html

2008 Oktober 7 14:36


guys, please use firmware version 11.117.09.04.00, the code should be very easy to find.

zeljko & lutchezar, please upgrade your firmware.

hi,

I also had no success - please have a look on the 3 screenshots, which I uploaded under http://picfront.de/d/r7oQFaa1gO/fw117-08-00.png / http://picfront.de/d/sFf8K7uo/fw117-09.04.png / http://picfront.de/d/cPEwkluw5r/fw117-10-00.png (efs file under http://rapidshare.com/files/152106249/EFS_FW11.117.09.04.00.bin.gz.html)They show the same hex-code-fragment like xvrsfrnssks's code.png - but I'm not able to find the unlock code. Is there an other way of getting the code (eg different version of QC BQS..)Thanks for your help and any suggestions!

2008 Oktober 8 10:57



2008 Oktober 8 12:38

eusz mengatakan...

ok, thanks for reading my efs.

The modem E220 i used is "MAXIS Broadband" locked which already unlocked by your help. Thanks very much.

Now, can i change what is inside the internal memory of the E220, because the installation software inside it is the operators software which not the original software from huawei. Its like only working with "Maxis Broadband" (Malaysia) only.

Is there any source for us to change the installer memory inside it, so that i can use original E220 software installation driver that can be use with any operator.

2008 Oktober 9 00:28


if i'm not mistaken then you should go here, http://www.huawei.com/mobileweb/en/doc/list.do?type=-1&id=736

what you need is UTPSB002D03SP16C03. don't forget to check 'force update' when updating.

2008 Oktober 9 03:49


The debug-msg doesn't dissappear (tried it with all the above posted firmwares & by entering wrong keys again without any success).Do I have to insert the sim (which is not available for now)?

2008 Oktober 9 06:28


@dhdhsh,

what kind of message does it show when an invalid (other provider) simcard inserted?

also, from your mobile partner (with simcard inserted), tools & diagnostics, please upload the screenshot.

thanks.

I start loosing the hope to get it finally unlocked...

@Viper: I followed your description & also got the "41 01 A."-respond for "41303030303030" but the NVItems-file only contains "1156 - Inactive Item" (I also tried to scan the range: beginning from 1100 it's always Inactive Item, 1159 says OK with several zeros following, then it always says bad parameter in the file)Do you know a solution for this? (other FW, other range,..)

eusz mengatakan...

ok, i learnt that when we checked "force update" it will update the installer driver inside the internal memory.

I think you should mention it in the tutorial because some of us use the installer that outdated. latest firmware include installer driver up to Winvista64 driver inside it..

Nowadays the huawei site is suprisingly slow, so i just use what ive downloaded:E220 Client Software HOSTB107D05SP00C03

also works. just dont forget to "force update".

And now i am using unlocked and updated firmware with peace and harmony! Thanks from Malaysia!

Thanks all :)

eusz mengatakan...

Viper BJK method now really easy. Just now i use this and its just straight forward.

Use latest QMAT 3.97, select "Display NVItem", enter "1156" as Item and press "Lets Go".

The right code should be seen inside the box. If u try u will know.

2008 Oktober 14 12:38


@bjk,@xvrsfrnssks

Sorry, but i am very newbies to this.

My data card is Huawei E220 from Telkomsel Flash (bundled package)

I think before I've found the unlock code is 9091909 and I unlock it and it said succesfully unlock. After that I update the firmware to Firmware-Update-E220Update_11.110.05.00.00 and then to E220Update_11.117.09.00.00 7.2mbps. Just then when I try to use other SIM card it reject again.

My question:1.Is it wrong to update the firmware after unlocking or do I have start all over again.2. Do I have to put the SIM card on the modem along the process?

I upload at http://rapidshare.de/files/40680148/efs2.rar.html

Please help me find the unlock key

Thanks

2008 Oktober 14 13:06


serasi, you have an incorrect dump.

btw, long before i had this unlocking method i found that e220 doesn't have a permanent lock. maybe someone could confirm this.

2008 Oktober 14 19:03


@xvrsfrnssks, @bjk,@ViperBJK

Thanks for your help.

I read and start it all over and I finally done. You guys really rock.

my E220 now work on any operator here.

2008 Oktober 14 23:51


@Wasantha:

Your unlocking code : 64400362

Anybody, plz correct me if i'm wrong

I can't save any efs.bin with QMAT. Is it necessary to have QMAT registered?

I tried QMAT 3.77, 3.91, 3.97 and none of them worked. I tried to extract from 0000FFF0 to 0001000 and it created 0Kb file.

Is it normal that time for extracting EFS needs 2 hours to finish?

2008 Oktober 16 09:14


Problem solved. That problem is due to I had Vodafone drivers instead of Huawei official drivers.

I downloaded them from http://rapidshare.com/files/82893234/DRIVERS_HUWAEI_LIBRE.RAR , restart the computer and in 4 minutes extracted the EFS.

Sebastian Lezica mengatakan...

Hi!, excelent post!. I try to follow the method for find the simlock code in another model, the e226 data card. Seeking 8 digits strings, I reduce all to 20 posibilities. Do you have any hint for help me in the search?. From where do you get the hex pattern 64 53...?.Thanks!,Sebastian

2008 Oktober 18 12:56


hi sebastian,

the pattern could differ in each model. i found out that when seeking the code in older firmware. also i search line by line in hex editor.

2008 Oktober 20 17:40

UNTARA mengatakan...

xvrsfrnssks, it is work!

I search line by line to find 5364 2C00 and found 17723225.

My firmware version is 11.117.09.00.00

Yay!! now I got another option ...

Thanks for the great posting

2008 Oktober 21 00:53

Vinnie mengatakan...

Hi, can anyone please check my efs.bin? I can't find the 8 digit code. :(

http://rapidshare.com/files/156041479/efs.rar.html

Many thanks!

2008 Oktober 21 01:48


I use the flash update at the top of the link which is 11.117.10.x,

Maybe the code would be at the correct place if it was 11.117.9.x?

Anyone know where I can downtime the .9 version?

2008 Oktober 21 02:32


hi vinnie,

i had same situation as you are in, i couldn't see the unlock code. but that before i upgraded the firmware to 11.117.09.04.00. try do so if you haven't.

after successfully unlocking it, you could continue upgrading the dashboard.

this is what you need, http://www.vodafone.de/hilfe-support/technischer-support/97017_106487.html

2008 Oktober 21 03:00


Arrrgh... I tried ViperBJK's method 1 (which didn't work) and then 2 (Write NVitem 1156 to '3030303030303030' and I think my E220 is no longer working. Doesn't detect my sim any more. Any way or recovering?? :(

2008 Oktober 21 03:40


XVRS,

I did the 11.117.9.04 flash before trying the Write NV Item.

Can't find 53 64 from .9's efs9.bin also. If the code can be found on efs.bin (either from .10 or .9), can I still recovered my Modem using the unlock code??

2008 Oktober 21 04:01

bjk mengatakan...


2008 Oktober 21 05:04


ViperBJK,

I tried to unlock with '00000000' and it failed. After that, my sim / modem is no longer detected. I can't even connect to it via QMAT + com/usb port to write '00000000000000' to item 1156. HELP!

2008 Oktober 21 05:59

bjk mengatakan...

So the whole modem doesn't work anymore ?

That is quite strange ...If all resetting won't work, only jtagging might help.

Would you be interested in helping me with my unique recovery case?

2008 Oktober 21 19:26

bjk mengatakan...

For jtag recovery I need a bricked E220 that I can desolder to find JTAG pinouts (normally, phone is dead after that because cpu is often glued).

Or we find a schematic of E220 with the correct JTAG pinouts.

Cya,

2008 Oktober 22 03:48


ViperBJK,

So in my situation. Is it the modem that is not working or is it the SIM card not working? or both?

However, it's all at your own risk.

Thanks

@bryant_tan

You can try to upload your efs.bin somewhere. Maybe at rapidshare, I'll see if I can help. A good efs.bin exactly at around 30mb.

I need help, I bought a used spanish e220 Voafone branded. I'm trying to unlock it but all stop immediatly... modem isn't recognised from firmware upgrading program. When I connect modem all seems working, windows sees it and request to start installation of dashboard but after .... nothing. Do I need a vodafone sim to start upgrade firmware?

2008 November 14 15:04


@claus57Can you still seee your E220 when you browse your pc? If it does go to it and double click Autorun and say yes.

It may helps!

2008 November 14 22:25

claus57 mengatakan...

OK, now my E220 is recognized... that's the way if you haven't a right sim:-Install the software as requested at first connecction.-Deconnect and riconnect the box-KILL the installed connection software from Task Manager.Now I will try to unlock...

Hi all,

everything worked great until i had to search the efs.

my first mistake was, that i updatet to a newer version. so i installed E220Update_11.117.09.04.00.B268 again.After this step i used qmat and it worked fine.

but when i search the nfs for "5364" with "free hex editor neo"it got no match.do i make any mistake with searching?

i've upped the efs.bin/rar to rapidshare. please help me.

Thanks for your time!

@John & @Ede,

I think your efs is a bit buggy.

Repeat the process and post back agian here.

Thanks

@John & @Ede

Please see http://www.huawei.com/mobileweb/en/doc/list.do?type=-1&id=736

You need UTPSB002D03SP16C03. Do not forget to check 'force update' when updating. Once you get the version from Huawei website it will much easier to use Qmat to read the EFS.

Btw, I use Cygnus Free Hex Editor as it very easy to use.

2008 November 22 13:10

ede mengatakan...

hm, its a pitty...

i installed the update "E220Update_11.117.09.04.00.B268" again, after that I run the update from the huawai page "UTPS11.002.03.16.03.B266" and stoped after it found the device.than i used qmat_3.91 and wrote the efs. to read it i uesed cygnus hex editor (much better then neo! thanks). whats my mistake`? damn :)

2008 November 22 14:13

shiro mengatakan...

hi all,I run QMAT 4.06. When trying to Read EFS, it says Please Register. And then QMAT exits. Do I need to register for E169?

2008 November 24 07:32

ede mengatakan...

if you use the version without registration ists limeted for 10 minute-sessions, so you have to hurry but it is time enough.

greetz, ede

bloodhound mengatakan...

Does anybody try tu use EFS read/Memory read method on other HUAWEI models on QC 7200 such as e870, e169, e272 etc. I tried to get password but had no result at all. Actually I cannot find 0x1156 NVItem in bin file. How should i act to make it visible when reading EFS or Memory dumping? i managed to read all NAND in Download Mode but could not find any 8 digit code in full NAND backup file. Is there the same algorithm as in E220 modem???

2008 November 26 12:08

Sonn mengatakan...

Please HELP,

I follow exactly the guide.

use Hex Editor cygnus to find the code but no luck. This is my efs.bin file, I hope some one here can help me.

Originally, efs.bin is 32MB, then i compress it -> 333KB. efs.zip

http://rapidshare.com/files/168315732/efs.zip.html

My version is Firmware: 11.17.09.04.00.B268Dashboard : UTPSB002D03SP16C03 QMAT 3.97

Thank you xvrsfrnssks. It works on my E220 Telkomsel Flash (INA).

It worked! Unlocked device sold by "One" (Austria, now called "Orange).

For those who have problems: Make sure to do the following steps:

1. Put firmware "E220Update_11.117.09.04.00.B268" on the device first of all! (I found it here http://www.dc-unlocker.us/download/soft.php?file=dXwG4FaC)

2. Follow the instructions given here. If the right firmware is on the device, you *will* find the necessary hex-key that reveals the unlock code!

3. If you get a message like "SIM/USIM not found or unavailable" (happened to me), upload firmware from Step 1 again.

These steps worked for me.

Hi,

I have a German E220 from Vodafone. I downloaded the file E220Update_11.117.09.04.00.B268.ZIP from dc-unlocker.us and installed the firmware. However, I looked for all 5364's and there is no 8-digit number. I also searched for all 8 digit numbers and found these two looking most promising: 74166622, 10742815. Could someone please check whether he can find the code in the efs.bin before I try these numbers out?

This is the original firmware efs.bin:http://rapidshare.com/files/173706286/efs.zip.html

and this is the efs.bin after the firmware update:http://rapidshare.com/files/173705944/efsB268.zip.html

Many thanks!

2008 Desember 15 14:33

iamx mengatakan...

Sorry ... can't help here. I would simply try the numbers you found - if one of them is OK, unlocking will work, if not, it will not work but it will also not damage anything. Maybe Vodafone has some extra protection? I can report another successful unlock of a device by T-Mobile Austria. It worked even without changing the firmware first.

To my suprise the modem was already unlocked after I installed the new firmware!I found this article (http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/784/1007784/avoid-roaming-disasters) which explains that the firmware update does not only increase the speed to 7.2Mbit/s but also unlocks the E220:"The trick is to go into the E220's software utility and create a new profile. The new profile should change the network selection setting over from automatic to manual." The settings for different broadband provides can be obtained from this address: http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:_4yXL4HEU9QJ:franson.com/forum/topic.asp%3FTOPIC_ID%3D6669+Gomobile+Malta+APN+guest&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=uk&client=firefox-a

@dhdhshHi..I think you forgot to update the firmware to suggested 11.117.09.04.00 also don't forget to check force update.

I still can see no change in your efs.
