Found this on the net and know some people will be wanting to unlock there mobile dongles they got,takes about 18 minutes for the process to complete and does work on vista and windows 7 as have tested it.

P.S. you might want to reinstall and install the modem to pick up all the drivers before you start as it wouldnt work straight off for me ;)

Right... not sure where I'm at !!
I got the dongle last week. Did this so far:

Plugged it in and installed the 3 Connect (showed up as a new drive OR autoruns if autorun is enabled... mine wasn't).
Ran the DC_unlocker tool and it didn't pick up the dongle. Unplugged it & plugged it into another USB slot. That worked and the dc_unlocker picked it up ok. But, said it was LOCKED.
Ran the update tool & clicked the DOWNLOAD button to download/update the dongle. That worked OK as well.
The dongle disappeared again... so checked, and as expected, it had turned up as a new drive with a Globe Connect autorun suite. Installed the Globe connect connection manager, unplugged the dongle and plugged it into another slot. That worked.
Started DC_unlocker again and checked the dongle... Got this in the log :
================================================== =================
Detecting card :
selection :
manufacturer - ZTE
model - Auto detect
Found modem : MF626
Model : ZTE MF626
IMEI : 3x8x6x0x3x8x5xx
Firmware : BD_P673M3V1.0.1B02
SIM Lock status : unlocked
================================================== =================
Notice that "unlocked" bit?? So, is the dongle unlocked then?? No need to buy the credits from DC_unlocker??
BTW... I've got the iPhone SIMM in the dongle at the moment... am trying to set up the connection settings for it :).

Yea seems like it worked,best way to check is put a random sim in and NOT a 3 one and set it up with the relevant settings and it should connect.

btw havent got me iphone sim yet so let me know how you get on pand ;)

Ok... have tried the settings for the iPhone... but they don't seem to work. am I doing something terribly obviously wrong? Screenshot attached of the settings panel... think I've done it all ok... have I ? :sh:

BTW... here's them darned files I found after hours of trawling around ! Hope its saves someone some trouble :p.

Still struggling with the settings...

@ pand really annoying as i cant get hands on till the sim turns up arghhhhhhhhh,lol hate not knowing,will have look at some other places and see if there is any feedback there regarding settings etc.

having a few problems with this just hope i've missed something, i have downloaded the udpate tool using the link and the dc unlocker.
i ran the update tool followed by the unlocker and got the following txt from the unlocker:


Detecting card :

selection :
manufacturer - ZTE
model - Auto detect

Found modem : MF626
Model : ZTE MF626
IMEI : 358066024019274

but i cant find anywhere the Globe Connect autorun suite pande_monium mentioned in their post so i am sure i have the dongle unlocked but just cant check connection or change settings etc.

all help greatfully appreciated

I can only get the wifi to work on the iphone, as it sends a text to the phone for it to work, then if you put it into another iphone it will cancel the first one before it will work on the 2nd........dont know how it knows but it does.........hope this helps

Got to admit I never thought it would be that fast.

My Blackberry bold has unlimited 3G blackberry internet service included, but this only works on the Blackberry handset. Tbh the speed is crap on the Blackberry through Orange.

also wondered if i had a dongle that was from o2 could i just stick the iphone sim in and have it work?

@ grant if its from 02 then should work all you would have to do is change a few settings on it and as for unlocking the e160 i couldnt find ant free software so will get back to you on it :)

so had to use dc_unlocker from the other post

not wrid :mad:
?15 will soon pay for itself against normal use of the dongle.
used to get thru about ?20 travelling to scotland.

be nice to find out if there is a hack user for dc_unlocker though, so others don't wate the money i did.:kungfu:dx

The speed is about 30/50kbs berley,have tried all settings to get past that speed like diff times of day and no programs running but its always about the same.

i would suggest adblock plus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 as this will help with pages loading quicker as it blocks all the adverts ;)

Hey MzB... you're connected on GPRS... not HSDPA... a pretty big difference in speeds there itself. Try moving around the house or going to a friend's house or somewhere else to try and get a HSDPA signal. You'll notice the difference in speeds.

I left the settings as they were because found them to be decent enough for general internet browsing/etc. Nowhere near cable BB speeds of course... but then my benchmark was "no internet" !! :)

berley
08-06-2009, 02:35 PM
thanks for the replies colli and pande

and yea i've tried moving around the house to no avail, tbh it doesn't really bother me that much as i got this so i could use it when im going on long car journeys etc, or backup if my net goes down

@ pande would it connect automatically onto HSDPA if the signal was good enough or do i need to change a setting as in the screenie i put up the option to connect HSDPA isn't there ?

Yes, it will change automatically between HSDPA, UMTS or whatever...

Seems like you're probably in a low bandwidth area. How about taking the dongle to somewhere else... like bucannon st where the signal is HSDPA...?
