..:: Debranding ZTE GSM MODEMS ::..

please note that by debranding your device by the hard method you probably lose your warranty!

With the hard method the flashmemory of the modem will be changed persistently. This is also reversible, if you backup the original content of your flashmemory (also described in the following instructions). However if your device breaks down before or during restoring the original content of the flashmemory warranty claims may be refused.

Install the original dashboard from your device, because later operations will require all drivers to be installed.
Download QPST and install it.
Click "Start", "Programs", "QPST" and start "QPST" Configuration" and select the "Ports" tab
Now click "Add New Port"
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/_s...2720/GW413H265
Find and chose the port labeled "USB/QC Diagnostic" and click "OK".
note: If more than one "USB/QC Diagnostic" port appears, you have to find the correct one by trying each one. If you got the wrong one the "Phone selection" in step 7 won't show the "Unknown" phone but will be empty.
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/t9...8664/GW414H264
Chose "Start Clients" from the menu and click "EFS EXPLORER"
In the following dialog you should see an "Unknown" phone, which you select and then confirm with "OK".
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/OX...3173/GW631H298

Now QPST will read the EFS filesystem of your device:
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/Zb...9831/GW627H299
When QPST has finished reading it will show up several files. Now you might first want to back up the existing content of the flashdrive, which is stored in the file "ZTEMODEM.ISO". Therefore right-click "ZTEMODEM.ISO" chose "Copy File from Phone"...

http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/E5...0129/GW548H328

and chose a destination where the file should be saved and click "OK".
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/sn...1074/GW535H332

Now QPST will backup ZTEMODEM.ISO to the selected folder, which may take up to ~30 minutes.
note: keep this downloaded backup version of ZTEMODEM.ISO in a safe place - you might need it one day!
After the backup has finished, right-click "ZTEMODEM.ISO" and select "delete".
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/p-...0875/GW533H333
After the old ZTEMODEM.ISO has been deleted, insert this one (NEW VERSION August 2010) [mirror 1 - mirror 2 - mirror 3 - mirror 4 - mirror 5] by drag & drop (extract ISO from RAR first!). It contains the unbranded "ZTE Join Air" dashboard (version 1.00.0B02, English and German) with preconfigured settings for most German operators, a separate "Driver" folder with drivers (including installer DPInst.exe), MWconn 5.6 (an alterative dashboard) and MDMA 1.0.0.30a, a monitoring tool with USSD-support. Unfortunatley it lacks MacOS-support.
backup of original ZTEMODEM.ISO: ZTEMODEM.ISO from Vodafone K3565-Z (VMC 9.4.2.14731)
Wait until the new ZTEMODEM.ISO has been written to your device and then close QPST EFS Explorer. When asked wether to reset the device click "Yes".
http://image.wetpaint.com/image/1/b5...7417/GW573H264
That's it. Now your modem should contain the new dashboard.

no you will face driver problem

I am having big problems using MF112 on Dell PCs. I did try to contact "3" but they have been no help at all. >8(

I have two MF112 dongles which I am trying to use. These were locked to "3" but have now been unlocked.

I have tried both of the dongles, on three computers, Dell C840, a D800 and a GX280 all using Windows XP Pro SP2.

Both dongles install the 3Connect connection manager and the driver and they seem to work OK, right up to the first time I shut down the PC. Unfortunately when I next start up, neither dongle is recognised; the connection manager doesn't start and the dongle still doesn't appear in the device manager.

If I uninstall and reinstall (via Windows Control Panel) , that usually works, but not always and only until I next boot up.

I even got a copy of the plain vanilla ZTE, de-branded connection manager and driver. I flashed it into the CD partition using an available tool.

The software would still install perfectly but I still had the problem that I needed to reinstall each boot up.

If I had only one dongle, I may have thought it had failed, but two out of two showing the same fault worries me.

Am I doing something stupid?

Do you guys and girls know of any problems using the MF112 with Pcs from specific PC manufacturers?

What can I do to get on line reliably?

Many thanks indeed for any help you can give.

Hi,

How i can be able to send ussd command with join air dashboard?

Hi,

Can you update that?

Where can i get the latest firmware to ZTE MF 91D?

Tks.
