Hello,

One more success story with an E1750. Thanks a lot!

Had to fiddle around for sometime though, since the modem did not exactly respond as expected. A few reboots and some permutations later, the modem said “OK”.

A couple of questions out of curiosity though:
- how are the values for ‘salt’ arrived at?
- why is a ‘flash code’ is calculated by the program, but not used anywhere?

Sorry, I read it to fast. You clearly said it was not an e220.

My card in fact was E169, but the Ubuntu recognised it as E220. Maybe on a real E220 it wouldn’t work for me as well.

Great that you have had some use for my blog.

Interesting that you managed to unlock your E220 when I failed.

Best regards

Hello again!

Now I have a Huawei E630 PCMCIA modem from Vodafone, and I have managed to unlock as well with this script.

Hello!

I have a Huawei E169, what is recognized by Ubuntu Lucid as E220 .
I followed, your instructions and I have managed to unlock my card at the first try. I never thought that unlocking is so easy.
The last thing what I would have tried, to search the solutions on a swedish page.

So thank you!
