Hi. I tried the firmware mod today. I put on xp back again as it doesnt recognise windows 7. it is still coming up with the error message :

"this update package doesn't support the installed Mobile Broadband Module hardware version"

I have model KRD 131 14/103 R1G. current version R1A034.

Hello Robert,

i will have a look for that. For me it is a little bit problematic to redo because i'm at R1D06 now. Maybe we have to try if your are willing

I will post something soon.
Hope your are still working with Win XP.

Maybe you can also post a screenshot of the firmware because there is something different to mine...

Before doing this, can you do me a favore:

1.) Download putty.exe
2.) Connect to serial port COM4 with 112500 baud
3.) Execute command: AT*EVER (maybe 1st try give error, try again)
4.) Execute command: AT*EVERS (maybe 1st try give error, try again)
5.) Post the results here without IMEI and Serial Number

Please wait with firmware update till i my response.
Thanks.

Hello Robert,

so please do the following:

1.) Install Win XP
2.) Install the driver for the WWAN card (it's necessary because firmware update use a dell wwan modem 2 to get the information from wwan card - you can use the driver of my thread)
3.) Try the first firmware mod.
4.) If the first mod is not working try this one now:

Hopefully firmware update will work.
Please give me a feedback if it was working. Thank you.

hi, thanks for the info. tried both mods but still no joy.

I can't get the putty program to open a command box. (tried changing com ports in device manager and using 115200 rate.

still getting same error with both mods.

"this update package doesn't support the installed mobile broadband module hardware version."

will play around with settings and putty and post any results. thanks.

Hi Robert,

for XP you have to do the following:

1.) open device manager
2.) in the menu view check "show invisible devices"
3.) look under modem, there should be two modem now
4.) select the 2nd modem and look for com port
5.) open putty
6.) select seriel protocol use the com port from device manager and 115200

Try the commands I give you and post the results please.
There are more identifications which we have to change.

We will get the firmware at you card too

Bye Zero

Hi together,

another (good) BAD thing i found now is, the firmware could be running under Win 7.

If you want to try, you have to do the following:
1.) get the COM port of modem
2.) open CMD with administrator rights
3.) navigate to the path where firmware is
4.) <filename of firmware> -t COM<number of modem COM port>
5.) firmware update will start

Problem is that firmware is loading to device and then it is waiting for programming the device.
But then it run into a timeout. But device is still working.
Within Win XP it will reinstall the device.
It looks like that is not working.
But device should be updated fine.
Hopefully.

Next try for firmware update:

Link to firmware 3rd try

Hi, ZeroKuhl

I still have problem to upgrade firmware
maybe you can help me, my info

regards,

[robert]

Hi ,thanks for the help. I tried your 3rd mod but got error message again.

I've ran the original exe through IDA debugger and found the point it decides to update or not. I've patched it to do update after error.

tried it on 2 cards and updated fine on both.

here is link for my patched version. I think it will work on any firmware version as should now jump to update routine after any error.

(needs XP and 5530 driver installed)

http://www.filedude.com/download/k2bnu9vfao68582bf3f3



screenshots from IDA are inside rar , if you want to see jump point

If anyone wants to try it, it will pop up with an error about illegal update package. just OK it and it will go to the update box. takes about 10..15 mins to complete.


have fun
