Correct. Im using 65d, no problem.. not sure got latest update or not. didnt try..haha

Most likely 8x carrier lock update only targeting 22d unit with Celcom IMEI

yeah no proof and no details, only words and 1 picture showing the model of the modem, agree with you guys on that

but the way i see it is like this, one month or more ago the 22d celcom set was no problem rclxms.gif

its the question of when it will become a problem

is it possible to happen also to the TM set? did ppl think it was possible or gonna happen to celcom set?

do remember the original price of this modem is RM1k+, it's cheap because local telco subsidized it

even the so call "buying" the modem from TM is only at RM565

for me anything is possible, its just business for them, they would do anything they can to protect their "interest"

Hmm..just have the intention to buy b618, and this thing happens  sweat.gif

Any good alternative router to recommend? Archer MR600 seems good but I can't find any local seller..

Cheers

not sure if you've been following it, but celcom has 2 batches, first batch was unlocked from them and those first unlocked batch got OTA pushed too and became locked even some of them already done with their contract, thats why ppl rage so much mad.gif

there is always still possibility things like this will happen again as long as it is "branded" modem (especially heavily subsidized)

IMO buying a certain "branded" modem isn't a wise preventive measure

the reason why celcom or huawei acted like this most likely due to resellers who sold modded router and celcom also lost from their plan revenue. Huawei may act based on their customer wish, which is celcom.

its not fair for those first batch which was unlocked from beginning being locked by huawei.

Huawei should only limits the force update to the devices with IMEI that came from second batch (locked) version. Not all.

that might due to those irresponsibble outlet staffs sold undertable to customers. mostly return unit i think also gone at celcom center instead of return back to huawei factory instead. icon_idea.gif

at the end router missing on termination note laugh.gif

Just wondering, is there any service that allowed me too rent for awhile this LTE Router? so that I could test whether my home area can have better experience with this model continue to buy it.? Anyone know someone can provide this service?

U realize it and went here? Or u saw the warning and see ur router and come back here,

I tried to access several website like maybank and affin, but was redirected to 192.168.8.1 and ask to update. I then searched online and found this thread. I also looked at the b618 user fb group, and apparently many had updated and locked their 22d.

Yesterday I go ahead and bough a 65D at tmpoint in Kota Bharu. The 22D (mine is celcom set first batch) I pack properly inside box and keep it for now. Anyone interested to buy it? haha
