Thanks a lot for info and link...work on my win7 ultimate X64

I updated my modem about a month ago and it indeed worst than before the upgrade. I'm using XP and to establish connection is definitely slower compare before the update. If disconnected, I have to unplug the modem and re-plug it in again. I have read some threads on this forum saying that upgrading the firmware has made using the modem with a 3g wireless router impossible or difficult. I believe Digi has something to do with this.

By the way, the situation is even worse with Vista. The machine needed to be restarted when the line get disconnected. This make life misery. I wonder why Digi fix thing that is not broken. Maybe due to the reason I stated above.

I think this is the dashboard update, not the modem firmware. They start with UTPS, just as Digi ones.


By the way, why the Xiongguoy.com site is reported harmful by Google?

So which is the optimal firmware to be used for a win 7 64bit system ??

For those who needed a pass key, you can use this tool to find it http://a-zgsm.com/huawei.php. It should be the flash key. I read somewhere that when an upgrade is done, the modem is locked to the certain provider and thus, you need the pass key to downgrade it.

Ok, some clean up and updates.

for E155X, there is firmware and software

Firmware: (I don't think there is DiGi custom firmware, DiGi just uses HuaWei's firmware)
11.608.13.01.00.B409 (5.6MB)
11.608.14.15.311.B418 (6.3MB)
11.609.18.00.00.B418 (6.6MB) (This is what I am currently using without problems)

Software: (This updates the software installer in the modem's ROM, I don't remember which one is DiGi's)
UTPS11.300.05.06.311_MAC11.303.08.02.311 (14.8MB)
UTPS11.300.05.08.311_MAC11.303.08.03.311 (14.7MB)
UTPS11.300.13.00.03_MAC11.301.06.00.03 (20.4MB)
UTPS11.302.09.00.03_MAC11.301.10.00.03 (19.6MB) (This is what I am currently using without problems)

Unlocker: (Some of the updates require a Flashing Password, key in your modem's IMEI to generate the password)
v4mpire_unlocker (261KB) (This software has other functions too, claims to be able to unlock vodaphone phones, ZTE and HuaWei modems)

Files are archived in 7z, LZMA2 compression.
For WinRAR or 7-Zip, you will need at least WinRAR 3.91, 7-Zip 9.04 to extract.
(since flashing could only be done in Windows, so I guess it would be moot to put up any Mac or *nix compatible extractors)

There is no recommended version of firmware or software, each have their own pro and cons.

Different ppl may want/need different features and everybody uses the Internet differently.
So best way is to play around with them and use which ever suits you best.

Difference between DiGi and HuaWei firmware?
More options I guess, and less the DiGi branding.

You can reflash the firmware and play around and use the one that works best for you.

I'm currently using this modem with DiGi Prepaid Broadband, on Macbook 4,2 running Mac OS 10.6, mainly for file downloads. I do the flashing in Windows 2005.
So I would not be able to relate to any Vista/7/x64/Facebook problems.


Regarding Google's warning about my site:
There are many sites getting false positives from Google, unfortunately mine was (and still is) one of them.
Not to worry cause you won't be browsing the site (unless you want to), you will just be grabbing binary files from direct download links.
