Megafon 4g modem m150 2 firmware. Unlocking and flashing a new dashboard in Huawei E3372H Stick
Throughout the year, telecom operators without unnecessary words released updated modems with a fresh blocking algorithm to replace older devices. But this time, something clicked in the dark depths of the marketers’ skulls and they unanimously decided to keep the old modem names, but sell completely new devices under them. Thus, they created quite a bit of confusion, and now (end of 2015) the following models are presented on the modem market:
Megaphone:- Megaphone M150-2(Huawei E3372 S
- Megaphone M150-2(Huawei E3372 H) - 4G modem, 2015 model. It is easy to distinguish from the old model by the serial number (S/N): for the new modem it begins with the characters G4P...;
- MTS 827F(Huawei E3372 S) - 4G modem, model 2014;
- MTS 827F(Huawei E3372 H) - 4G modem, 2015 model. It also differs from the old model in the serial number (S/N): for the new modem it begins with the characters G4P...;
Despite the similar names even of the original Huawei modems (they differ only in the letters S and H), in fact this is completely different devices with incompatible firmware.
Attention! A feature of the MegaFon M150-2 modem firmware starting from version 21.315.01.00.143 and higher is that they are not supported even by transitional firmware. You can unlock such modems only using the “needle method” (instructions from the MTS modem, but all actions are absolutely similar).
Unlocking using the needle methodNow, after clarification of all formalities, you can start unlocking.
Unlocking instructions
- Download the archive with the Huawei Code Reader 2015 program and unpack it to a place convenient for you.
- Connect your modem via USB. Typically, when you connect a device to a PC, you have a separate CDROM partition that contains the device installation program.
- Install the included drivers that came with your device.
- If you are running your modem software to connect to the Internet, disable it before running Huawei code reader 2015.
- Launch Huawei code reader 2015 and click the button "1. Read data" as the picture shows.
- As a result, the drop-down list of COM ports in the program will be filled with devices. You select the COM port manually. If, as a result of performing these steps, no devices appear in the list, then drivers for the modem ( Wi-Fi router) are not installed or installed incorrectly. If you did everything correctly, the following information will appear in the program log window:

SIM lock: Blocked
Remaining attempts to enter NCK: 10In the above example, we see that our MegaFon M150-2 modem is locked and the number of remaining attempts to enter the unlock code is 10. For correct operation function for detecting that the modem is blocked, a SIM card must be inserted into it third party operator.
If all attempts to enter the unlock code have been used up, it is not possible to unlock such a modem with the code. Please note whether your modem still attempts to enter the unlock code.
If Huawei Code Reader 2015 does not find the modem, then check the modem firmware version in the settings of its control panel (connection manager).
A feature of firmware 21.200.07.01.209 of the Megafon M150-2 modem is that it blocks the execution of most AT commands, including memory reading/writing. Therefore, in order to read data and unlock the modem, you need to update it to another firmware.Instructions for flashing
- Stop the protection completely during the flashing process. antivirus programs, and if Kaspersky is installed, then it is better to remove it altogether at this time.
- Close any programs that may be using the modem ports.
- Remove the modem from the computer's USB port.
- Remove (uninstall) the connection manager from your computer.
- Install the driver
- Plug the modem into the computer's USB port.
- Install the transition firmware
During the flashing process, the installer will ask you for a flashing password (flash code). It is calculated using the IMEI number of the modem and can be calculated using the link - Then install the modified
- If desired, sew a universal
If you also failed to flash the firmware, then there is another universal method unlocking - "needle method". Read these instructions for the MTS 829F modem. It is completely suitable for the MegaFon M150-2 modem, because... in fact, this is the same device - Huawei E3372H. Follow all steps exactly according to the instructions and the unlocking will be removed.
- After successfully reading information about the modem, if the service blocks Hash1 and Hash2 are filled in, you can begin processing the received information by clicking on the button "2. Calculate Encrypted Block". The data processing process can take from 2 to 20-30 minutes depending on the performance of your computer. If everything was successful, the Encrypted Block field should be filled with symbols, as shown in the screenshot.
- Follow the link https://unlock.exaccess.com/#!digiseller/detail/1867717 to the unlock code order page.
- Enter the Encrypted Block string in the appropriate field, select convenient way payment and click the "Buy Now" button.
- After payment you will be taken to a form for filling out modem data, namely you need to enter modem model in free form and IMEI, which can be copied directly from the Huawei code reader 2015 program window.
- After entering the data, click the “Submit” button and immediately, in place of the form, the unlock code for your modem will be shown.
- Open the software for connecting to the Internet (the modem must have a SIM card from a third-party operator), enter the received code in the “Unlock code” field and click the “Enter” button.
- After this, your modem will be unlocked and will work with SIM cards of any operator.
If you still don’t get to the form for filling out the modem data, then go to the oplata.info website using your e-mail specified during payment, select your purchase and enter the modem data.

Unlock the modem necessary if you want to untie it from working with the SIM card of one specific operator cellular communication. If you use mobile internet via a 3G/4G modem purchased from an operator, then sooner or later you will have to face a situation when, for objective reasons, you want to change it - for example, another one will have more favorable tariff. Or you will go to the country, and outside the city in your area it will be better to receive communication from another operator.
If you insert, for example, a SIM card from MTS into a modem purchased from Megafon, it will not work. To correct the situation, you need to unlock the Megafon modem, that is, unblock it from being tied to a specific cellular operator. Unlock Huawei modem There are several ways - free and paid. In this article we will talk about free ones.
How to unlock an OLD Huawei modem?
If you have a relatively old model, which you bought a couple of years ago, then you can unlock the modem using its IMEI - individual number assigned at the manufacturer's factory. It is easy to find under the cover of the device.
Also, IMEI is usually present on a sticker or label included in the box with the modem. Now using this number we can get the unlock code for our MegaFon modem, and we will get it using several programs from third-party developers.
Basically all “branded” modems with logos on them mobile companies, actually made in China by Huawei, so we will use utilities specifically for devices from this company.
Download the Huawei Modem program
Go to the website huawei.mobzon.ru and download one of the current ones on at the moment versions of the program for working with Huawei modems. Choose any assembly - they differ only in functionality, you can read in detail about each of them directly on our website.
She will replace standard program from the operator, which was installed when the modem was first connected to the computer. Since you already used it, it should have been installed, as well as the drivers for the modem. If you deleted them, you will need to install them again - to do this, insert the device into the computer and confirm the installation. Or manually run EXE file from the modem's internal flash memory.
Also, before downloading, make sure that your specific model is supported - the list will be at the bottom of the page. The model number of your modem is also usually indicated on the packaging or in the instructions.
So, if everything is fine, download and install the program, then insert the modem with the new SIM card into USB port PC and launch it.
A window should appear asking you to enter the unlock code.
In some modem models, the same window appears when using standard software from the operator.
Huawei Calculator program
Great! The first part of the epic is over, now we download another application called HuaweiCalculator. Unzip it on your computer and run it. In the first field we need to enter the IMEI already known to us, and then generate several other ciphers by pressing the “CALC” button.
Of all of them, we will need NCK - this is the modem unlock code, which will need to be entered into that same window in the first program. In my version, this value is “34994905” - remember it.
Huawei Modem Terminal
It happens that when connected to USB, the window for entering the unlock code described in step 1 does not automatically open. Then you will have to download another program - Huawei Modem Terminal to communicate with the modem via service teams.
Open it and select here the item that says “HUAWEI Mobile Connect - 3G PC UI Interface” and press the “Connect” button.
After that, enter the “AT” command in the lower field in order to check the connection with the modem. If the outcome is successful, the following message should appear in the main window:
"Send: AT
Receive: OK"
If everything is “OK”, then this means that we can now control the modem using the so-called service AT commands.
There are actually a lot of them, but we need exactly those that are required to unlock the modem. Here they are (when writing commands, quotes “” are required!):
- AT^CARDLOCK="nck code" - to unlock
- AT^CARDUNLOCK="nck md5 hash" - to reset unlock attempts to 10
- AT^CARDLOCK? - to check the lock status
On last request The modem displays the following results:
- CARDLOCK: A,B,0
- A - “2” means that there is no symlock, “1” - if the modem is locked
- B — number of remaining unlock attempts.
- The new modem has 10 of them.
In our example, the modem is locked (1) and there are still 10 attempts left, that is, no one has tried to unlock it before. All that remains is to enter the code AT^CARDLOCK=”nck code”, where “nck code” is the value of the same NSK code that was obtained earlier in the Huawei Calculator program. For me it is equal to “34994905”.
2nd method of unlocking - for OLD and NEW modems
For those models that are not supported by the previous program, there has recently been another one - Huawei Unlock Code Calculator. In addition to two unlock codes (V1 and V2), it also contains a password for flashing the firmware.
- V1, or OLD Algo Unlock Code - unlock code for modems with old version firmware,
- V2, or NEW Algo Unlock Code - for modems with new firmware.
Let's try to use this utility with my modem - enter the IMEI and generate codes.
As you can see, the value “v1” coincides with what the previous program gave us - this is what we need to use, since the modem is old and the firmware on it is also old.
Method 3 - online calculator
Recently another convenient and free service for 2013-2014 models - here is the link. Look carefully and find your model in the list of one of the flashing options, then enter the IMEI code of your device and receive an unlock password.
Method 4 - universal PAID
Finally, for the really lazy ones who don’t want to bother with finding IMEI, determining the unlock code and other nonsense, there is one universal method that is suitable for most modems. But you will have to pay a little for it - about 5 euros. But we will talk about it in. I also recommend reading the Huawei modem untethered from the operators.

As a result, I spent 800 rubles, it seems there is 4G which is not available, plus I have to pay for the Internet in 2 weeks
Advantages:
Flaws:
A new program that is designed on a half-screen, and not like the miniature one in megaphone modems
-the device turns off 3 times more often than previous models
-forced to work in the NDNIS connection type, in front of the modems you could optionally set it to anyone as desired (RAS was selected)
-From the moment of purchase, after 2 weeks you will have to connect the Internet, and pay accordingly (previously, upon purchase, the Internet was given for at least a month, or even for two, depending from the tariff)
After installing the program, you will connect it a hundred times, it will work for 2 minutes and turn off, and after 3 hours it will work more stable.
-Often there is a network search, it doesn’t seem to be critical, but now I can’t play tanks normally because the modem turns off and the network is searched, you go into the game and then you lose!
Period of use:
several months

- January 15, 2016The bottom line is that this is a Huawei E3372h with STICK firmware and locking. It can be easily unlocked (see 4pda) and flashed with HILINK firmware. After that, we insert it into the router with OpenWRT and everything works like a charm. It also works stably on the laptop. After flashing the firmware, HILINK essentially turns into a router. Telnet, adb to boot.
Advantages:
A fast and very reliable modem.
Flaws:
MegaFon and its STICK firmware.
Period of use:
more than a year
19 0Gromov Sergey
- February 22, 2016Immediately after installation, the modem was unstable. I had to plug it in and out several times for it to even connect to the 2G network. Then in the program settings I had to switch it to 4G. Then the program seemed to “get used to”; the connection to the Internet occurred simply when the computer was turned on, except that the program sometimes switched to 3 or 2G at will. But a little later, all the glitches and slowdowns returned, only, apparently, having gained strength somewhere, because simply reconnecting the modem was no longer enough, I had to reboot the computer 4 times. Updating the program, as well as reinstalling it, did nothing. I suggest a treatment: download the HUAWEI modem program from the website huawei.mobzon.ru and install it instead of MegaFon’s. ALL! The connection takes a few seconds, the Internet “flies”.
Advantages:
Good sensitivity, connectivity external antenna, memory card slot.
Flaws:
Management program.
Period of use:
several months

- January 21, 2016I bought a modem for my hospital. I thought it was a normal modem. At first he made me happy, sometimes even online games came in. But after some time, this modem turned into an infernal machine that can control your mood and most often this mood was not only negative, it was simply murderous. Suicides feel more adequate than the owners of this modem. There is no speed, the Internet is constantly interrupted, because of this I couldn’t even watch a movie in 360 quality, it even got to the point that I couldn’t listen to music on VKontakte. People, if you want to save your nerves, then it’s better not to consider this option as a purchase.
Advantages:
On the plus side: there are none
Flaws:
Of the minuses: there are a lot of them. The Internet either catches or doesn’t catch. Most of all it doesn’t catch, but even if it does, it doesn’t have the promised speed.
Period of use:
less than a month

- March 26, 2016The bottom line is that MegaFon's firmware is unstable. The network is lost, the connection is broken, and often the modem cannot be found at all. Crazy put a high link. Now you don’t need any programs at all, the drivers are installed themselves and can be plugged into any computer. The connection holds as it should. All the functionality of the wretched MegaFon program is now in the web-face. Oh, and a bonus - removing the SIM lock.
Advantages:
The hardware itself is good
Flaws:
The megaphone turned it into a misunderstanding
Period of use:
several months

- May 11, 2016I don’t recommend it to anyone!
Advantages:
Flaws:
I have never seen such a “miracle” before... my patience lasted for two weeks! "Thank you" megaphone! There has never been a time when it started and worked the first time! Then it sets software when you turn it on, the computer does not see it, the settings are reset every time and need to be set manually, then it constantly searches for the network and does not find it, although there is a smart phone and a tablet with a megaphone nearby and the network there is excellent.... you’ll pull it out five times slot, reboot your computer a couple of times and lo and behold!!! IT starts working. In short, I’m tired of these dances with a tambourine, I’m going back to the beeline, where the tariff is more favorable, they don’t divide it into day and night.
Period of use:
less than a month
14 15Kravtsov Pavel
- July 31, 2015Today I bought it for a girl who is in the hospital. For an hour I struggled with the fact that the network search was constantly displayed. As a result, I figured out that the modem was connected to LTE (I didn’t test the speed, but the LED glows blue). This is not shown in the program. Plus, for the Internet to work, every time you connect, you need to go into the TCP/IP 4 settings and set the settings to automatic.
Advantages:
There is still Internet...
Flaws:
This modem is one big flaw
Period of use:
less than a month
12 11Sergeeva Elena
- January 21, 2017I don’t advise anyone to buy this modem until you make sure that where it will be used there is a truly stable connection and the speed indicators are at least vaguely reminiscent of the promised 100-150 Mbit/s.
If possible, ask your friends for the same modem and check how it will work for you, because you won’t be able to take the modem for a test drive in a store and return it. Sellers will fight to the death.
Before purchasing, I warned the consultant that I was taking the modem only because there was a megaphone tower installed where it would work. Without it, it is impossible to receive a stable signal at this address, because it's 2 floors. house and it is surrounded on all sides by panel high-rise buildings.
The consultant looked at the map on the Megafon website and assured me that specified address enters the zone of stable 4G+ reception.
For several days we tried unsuccessfully to catch a signal. When we succeeded, the first thing we did was check the speed of the Internet connection. Instead of the stated 100-150 Mbit/s there were 23 inputs. and 17 ref.
The question is, why buy a device for 2500 rubles, if it’s the same, but 3G and 2G for 300-500 rubles. does it produce the same speed?
But this was not the last disappointment.
The signal was constantly being lost. After working for 3 minutes, the modem went out, and I had to remove and install it several times to get it to work again.
A call to technical support helped find out what was wrong and gave me hope that this uselessness could be returned to the store as not meeting expectations.
It turned out that the equipment from the nearest tower had been removed several months ago.
After taking a screenshot of the test results and inspired by the news about the removed equipment, I went to the store to return the modem. But that was not the case.
They told me that the modem is working properly, and the speed corresponds to the declared parameters, because it is within 150 Mbit/s.
In general, I left with nothing. The gift didn't work out. The money is gone. The mood is ruined.
Thank you, Megafon!
Advantages:
Not found
Flaws:
Low speed Internet connection, constantly losing signal, overpriced

- April 4, 2017Therefore, access to home (personal) ftp server You won't get it. Technical support at the "reboot your computer" level. Boys and girls will not be able to give you advice clearly. Despite the fact that you pay 2,500 rubles instead of 990 a year ago. At the same time, it has not changed, neither externally nor internally. In general, 1 star is only for the fact that “We provide access to the Internet,” but we don’t fully say that you can’t do everything with our hellish tariffs.

More or less nimble
Flaws:
Ports are closed

- June 25, 2017Good modem, picks up...
Advantages:
Good connection, slot for a flash drive, low ping compared to other operators.
If you insert stock Megaphone M150-2 into the router, then nothing will happen ( UPD with firmware 6.30.2 the STICK firmware is already detected, see comments). The fact is that HUAWEI E3372s works in two versions of firmware STICK and HILINK. The firmware is completely interchangeable. To work with Mikrotik, you need to reflash the modem to HILINK. In this mode, the modem will be detected as an LTE interface and have its own router.
ATTENTION! If you doubt your actions, it is better to refuse the procedure or entrust the procedure to familiar specialists. Follow the sequence strictly and do not skip steps. This procedure done repeatedly and 100% working stock firmware Megaphone.
To switch to HILINK firmware you must first(!) download the software:
- – this is an update of the dashboard (modem firmware) to version 3.5;
- Generate FLASH CODE for the IMEI of your modem;
- – HILINK firmware (not branded);
- – Web interface HILINK firmware (not bended);
So let's get started:
1. Using the terminal we connect to COM port modem and execute the unlock command:
at^nvwrex=8268,0,12,1,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,a,0,0,0
at^nvwrex = 8268, 0, 12, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, a, 0, 0, 0 |
2. Now we extract SIM card and SD.
3. Write down the IMEI of the modem. This may (most likely) be needed for firmware. It can be taken from the device information in the operator software (usually the “Diagnostics” section).
4. We remove the operator software (only the Megafon shell). This is necessary so that all sorts of autostarts do not occupy the modem ports when flashing the firmware. We leave the drivers so that the modem is normally detected in the device manager.
5. Install dashboard 3.5. This is the firmware of the modem. It is not software for managing a modem.
6. Install MobileBrServ. It does this silently, but if you restart the service, it asks “reinstall?”
7. We install unbranded firmware (E3372s-153TCPU...). Here the Flash Code can be requested, which is calculated based on the IMEI (was calculated during the preparation stage).
If everything went well, then flash the web interface (E3372sWEBUI...).
If everything was done in order and carefully, then the modem will be detected as network card with the network 192.168.8.0/24, where the modem itself will be 192.168.8.1.
By connecting to the modem http://192.168.8.1/ you can configure automatic connection to the network and use “4G only”.
You can plug the modem into Mikrotik. There it will show up as an LTE interface:
After the client is created (Apply/OK), it should receive an IP:
Next, we set up masquerading on this interface:
Well, that's all.
The modem will also be available via IP 192.168.8.1. There you can also monitor SMS.
None of the operators provide white/public IP, so setting up DDNS makes no sense. To have access to Mikrotik you will have to connect it via PPTP (for example) to an external network through which you can organize routing.
