Huawei modem universal flasher

[elkont]

thank's a lot!!
my modem has a new firmware now.
for all those who are interested-> it seems that the upgrade made e398-u18 from my E398-u1-> one more lte frequency

[fr3nsis]

good can you post log if you have ?
thanks

[elkont]

which log do you mean?

[npkamen]

I am attempting to resurrect my e353 and have the following logs from revskills:

0D 0F 38 32 30 30 43 2D 2D 46 41 43 50 41 43
5A 4D


8200C--FACPACZ
M

Also when I try to flash using the flasher tool (in recovery mode) I get another error (see attachment).

Anyone have any ideas how I can recover this device?

From where to download the flash file send me link sir

this firmware is not compatible with your modem
check better model name

The modem is definitely an e353. I used (I believe it is yours) unlocker tool for e367 and e353 to unlock the modem originally which seemed to change the modem identifier for some reason. Now I can't seem to get it back to being an e353. I flashed some e367 firmware to the device which seems to have flashed successfully however it cannot register with the 3G network.

You were trying to flash HiSilicon(HS) firmware - v. 21.... - to Qualcomm(QC)-based device (MDM8200). fr3nsis is right, they are incompatible.

You have to find firmware for E353u or E367u.
"u" in model number of Huawei devices means QC chipset, "s" - Hisilicon chipset.
Firmware version numbers for QC start with "11", for HS - with "21".

FYI: Huawei Flasher doesn't support HiSilicon- and Icera-based Huawei devices.

i had tested it with e173-s2 that is hisilicon cpu based

yes this is the problem
firmware for mdm8200 start with partition table , so 01.bin should have length= 0x1d0

Yes, this is true for QC devices. For new HS ones partition table has completely different format, and it's size is 0x400.

anyway according to your screenshoot this is your firmware : *************** - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

DONE!

Thanks for that it is now making more sense to me.

It is strange that all of the e353 firmwares that I have found on the net seem to identify as e367U. I'm guessing these devices are fairly similar.

One more question. I don't seem to be able to find one that works in my particular variant of the e353. Is there a way to read the firmware from one device and write it to another (if I was to obtain another working e353)?

[fr3nsis]

but firmware linked above is ok for your modem...
try to flash it
