Modem megafon m150 2. How to Unlock Huawei Modem Free from Cellular Operators MTS, Megafon, Beeline, Tele2
- November 18, 2015As 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)
-After 2 weeks from the moment of purchase, you will have to connect to the Internet and pay accordingly (previously, upon purchase, the Internet was given for at least a month or even two, depending on 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 search for the network, 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

- 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, ability to connect an 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 he even played online games. 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! Either it installs the software when turned on, then the computer does not see it, the settings are reset every time and need to be installed 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 pull it out of the slot five times, restart the 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.

- July 31, 2015Today I bought it for a girl who is in the hospital. For an hour I struggled with the fact that my 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

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 the specified address was within 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 Internet connection speed, constantly dropping signal, overpriced

- April 4, 2017Therefore, you will not receive access to your home (personal) ftp server. 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.
Advantages:
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 the stock Megaphone M150-2 into the router, 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 has been done several times and is 100% working on Megafon stock firmware.
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, connect to the COM port of the 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 remove the 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 a 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 to organize routing.
After a while, happy owners of cheap promotional modems ask themselves: how to unlock a 3G or 4G modem so that the USB modem can work with a SIM card from another operator? MTS, Beeline, Megafon, Tele 2 or any other mobile operator.
You can unlock the modem yourself and for free, you just need to strictly follow the instructions for unlocking the modem.
Attention! This instruction was tested on the modem model from Megafon M150-2, also known as 829F for MTS and E3370 for Beeline. What is it called at TELE2? - Don't know. The original native name of the modem is Huawei E3372h (Huawei E3372h-153).
If you purchased another modem, then these instructions may not be suitable, and in general, in this case, you may irreversibly damage your modem :-).
The instructions were based on materials from this forum for professional IT workers, when I myself needed to unlock the Megafon modem to work with other operators. But everything on the forum is very complicated, it’s almost impossible for a “teapot” to understand anything, so I decided to break everything down without unnecessary fancy terms.
So, operators produce and sell USB modems from the company in their stores Huawei under their own brands and with their own logo. At the same time, they activate blocking of work with SIM cards of other operators in the modem.
You can remove the blocking in the normal way. In a regular way, it means that you have a special unlock code (the code is unique for each modem). As soon as you insert a SIM card from someone else's operator into the 4G modem, the program for connecting to the Internet (connection manager) going to the modem requests this code.
If you enter this code, the modem is unlocked and becomes universal, i.e. can work in the network of any operator. But firstly, the problem is that no one will tell you this “technological” code. And secondly, you are given only ten attempts to enter the code, i.e. It won't be possible to pick it up either.
There are special programs for generating an unlock code, so-called modem code calculators. But first, you need to find a working code calculator, and then... become a computer pro in order to understand how to use it.
For some models you can buy the code from hackers. You send them, pay for the service, and they calculate the code for you. But it will not work with all modems, and it is not a fact that in exchange for your money you will receive a working code. Remember the 10 attempt limit.
An alternative unlocking method is to send a special AT command to the modem, which will unlock the modem. This is the method I propose to use. By the way, this method will work even if you have already exhausted 10 attempts to enter the unlock code.
- First, download the program "DC-unlocker client" from here https://www.dc-unlocker.com/downloads
- If the modem's connection manager is running (a program from Megafon, Beeline, etc., which came with the modem), then you need to close it. If the connection manager is not closed, then the "DC-unlocker client" may not detect the modem.
- Run "DC-unlocker client" and select Russian in the "Options" menu.
- In the "DC-unlocker client" window, click on the Magnifier icon (find and identify the modem).
- After the "DC-Unlocker" program finds and identifies the modem, information about the modem will be displayed.
Note: After this, you can enter (paste from the clipboard) AT commands.
AT commands must be entered (pasted from the clipboard) after the text about the modem information.
After the AT command has been entered (pasted from the clipboard), press the Enter key.
Let's continue...
6. Now you need to make sure that you have a modem Huawei E3372h.
To do this, give (copy from here to the clipboard, paste into the “DC-unlocker client” and press enter) the command:
If the result of this command is ^FHVER: E3372H-153....... then you have the same model as me. If the model is different, then it is not a fact that the method will work.
7. Now we give the command:
at^nvwrex=8268,0,12,1,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,a,0,0,0
That's it, the modem must be unlocked. Now you can insert SIM cards from other operators.
If suddenly the response to the command at^nvwrex=8268,0,12,1,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,a,0,0,0 was "Error", then you got an updated modem with protection against unlocking in this way. Most likely this is a modem from MTS; perhaps soon other operators will also close this option. In the meantime, there is such a hole - use it.
If you receive an "Error", then the modem is NOT damaged, and will continue to operate in its previous mode, only it will remain locked.
Friends, I am glad to welcome you again! The other day I was faced with the question of how to unlock a 4g megaphone modem in order to receive the Internet through any SIM cards. I had to sit for half a day, but still managed to unlock the modem. Now I'll tell you how I did it.
In general, the Megafon operator distributes good Internet, but now the Tele2 operator has made convenient tariffs and I use their Internet. What should I do now, buy a Tele2 device or find a way to unlock the Megaphone 4g modem? Of course the second option.
If you insert a SIM card from another operator into the megaphone USB device, you will be given the opportunity to enter an unlock code and unlock this modem so that it works with any SIM cards. You have ten attempts to enter the code. But where can I get this code?
There is no need to try to guess it, because after the tenth attempt the modem will be blocked. I found several options on the Internet to get an unlock code, all of them are too complicated, using some programs, both paid and free.
It turns out that all the USB devices that we have are made in China by Huawei, so to unlock them you need to use utilities for gadgets from this particular company.
And so, let's start unlocking the 4G megaphone modem. First you need to download this program to your computer Huawei Unlock Code Calculator.
Now you launch it and here you need to enter the IMEI of your modem. You will find it on the inside of the lid. Remove the cover from the USB device and you will immediately see the IMEI.
Write this number and click on the “Calk” button. The program will display code numbers V1, V2 and V201. Now insert the SIM card into the USB modem and connect it to the computer. If you have not yet installed the megaphone Internet management program, it will be installed automatically.
In the upper right corner I now have a field to enter the unlock code. First I entered the V1 code, but it turned out to be incorrect. Then I entered the V2 code and it was also incorrect. But when I entered the code V201, Tele2 Internet appeared via a USB device from the Megafon operator.
That's all, I told you how to unlock a 4g megaphone modem and there was nothing complicated in my method. The program that needs to be downloaded is lightweight and easy to download and run; when you enter the IMEI, it instantly produces unlock codes.
And the USB modem itself instantly flashes for all operators when the code is entered correctly. Therefore, I recommend using this simple and free method.
Guys, follow my blog, there is only the most useful information and if you liked this article, go through the social network icons that are now in front of you.
Throughout the year, telecom operators quietly 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 original Huawei modems (they differ only in the letters S and H), in reality they are 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 the 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:
Device found:
Model: MegaFon M150-2
IMEI: 866119028147453
S/N: G4PDW15820006031
Dashboard version: MGF_Dashboard_Win2.3.4_Mac2.3.4
Software version: 21.200.07.00.209
Hardware version: CL2E3372HM Ver.A
Software compilation date/time: Jun 10 2015, 19:51:41
SIM Lock: Locked
Remaining attempts to enter NCK: 10In the above example, we see that our MegaFon M150-2 modem is blocked and the number of remaining attempts to enter the unlock code is 10. For the modem blocking detection function to work correctly, a SIM card from a third-party operator must be inserted into it.
If all attempts to enter the unlock code have been exhausted, 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
- During the flashing process, completely stop the protection of anti-virus programs, and if Kaspersky is installed, then it is better to completely remove it during 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 unlocking method - the “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 Hash1 and Hash2 service blocks 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 a convenient payment method 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.
