How to unlock Huawei E353 HSPA modem ( Updated 2013 guide )

by Ruchira on January 8, 2013

huawei modem

 

2 years ago I brought you (1 2)  the worlds first huawei modem unlocking guide which attracted more than 5 million people and over 5000 comments.  But things have changed now, there are different modem models, and the way of calculating the codes for those are different and you cant use my old method to unlock these new modems.

But its still possible to unlock new Huawei Modems such as

  • Huawei E353
  • Huawei E173cs-1
  • Huawei E367
  • Huawei E353 Wu-1
  • Huawei E353 Ws-2
  • Huawei E303

 

Calculating unlock code is little bit of mystery at the moment. However you can obtain the unlock codes from gsmhosting.com forum for free. See the thread here http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f88/free-huawei-e353-e367-unlcok-codes-1507232/

You can register a account there and politely ask for the code on the forum. Dont forget to include your exact model and IMEI number. Usually in few hours someone will post the code for you. After you receive the Unlock/NCK code its easy to unlock the modem.

Download and install the Code Writer from here https://www.ruchirablog.com/go/code-writer and process is quite simple after that.

Click the Detect button and Accept your comport. Then it will ask for the unlock code, enter the you got here

Click OK button and voila its done 🙂

Hi, I have my unlock code but when I try and run software, the dongle is not recognised. When I click on “Please select ComPort” there are no options to select dongle model. It is a Huawei E353Wu-1.

Thanks very much for the walkthrough, and links to unlock code at gsm-forum. I picked up one of these, and it turned out the carrier it was locked to offers TERRIBLE data plans. Now I’m free to shop the competition. Cheers!

Hi, I have the unlock code and flash code for my vodafone modem model K3520. After using the code writer to unlock it (result showed ok), when i inserted a different sim, it shows either 1. incorrect sim or 2. searching for network. What should I do?

I also have another Huawei wireless gateway model E961. Is there a method to unlock this as well?

Thanks in advance.

I have the following device:

HSDPA USB STICK MF627 ZTE
IMEI: 358066021848469
SN: 320590834690

Although it works on its original network, my PC and the programs, have been unable to detect/locate the com port or the presence of the device and so, I have been unable to unlock it.

Thank you
