You can change only dashboard with a generic version:
2009-10-19 DC-unlocker client software V1.00.0347
Added: Huawei: ...dashbord read/write function for ZTE modems
Dashboard you found in:
http://www.dc-unlocker.com/downloads/open/55

They are file .iso. You not need to extract downloaded file.
Just connect zte modem into usb port, open dc-unlocker software, choose ZTE manifacturer, do autodetect and when all it's ok (modem recognized), goto FLASH tab, than "write dashboard" and choose file .iso downloaded before...
that's all....:rolleyes:

i have tried to upgarde to generic dashboard, and now i am afraid that i have got no response from modem, any fixes?????? please....

If you see cd-rom device in windows explorer remove this CD-ROM. Then it will be detected as modem and you will be able to write other dashboard or backup dashboard.
If you did read dashboard before write dashboard, then write file that you received after doing read dashboard.

ok I have sucseeded to found it in DC-unlocker software but i have not made an backup :( of previus dashboard.....

has any one got a copy

or do i need dash bord original, or if i could use generic one some how

[pkucan]

could i make an iso from

http://www.dc-unlocker.com/downloads/open/46

and upload it to modem would this work?


will i brick it for good

There is only connection software that installs to computer. It is not a dashboard file. You can install it to computer and use for conenction.

Hi - I have detected the k3520-z and have made a backup.

I tried to upload the iso you gave in this thread (the generic version from the dc unlocker download section)

The uploading went to about 75% and then cut off - with the program saying "no response".

I can get into the modem with QPST but cant delete the iso file - it returns an error 226 unknown.

Do you have anything else I can try?...the modem is still responding so I can get into it.

Thanks

[Vincentas]

If an error eppeared when unpdating dashboard, you can select and write the same file that you backuped.

[retromodcoza]

I wish I could - but the same error occurs when I try to write back the original file...

[Vincentas]

Check, if the connection software is not launched, try to use other computer.

[retromodcoza]

I checked out the connection software and killed it. I then removed the cd ROM and did it all on a different computer.

Now , the error message is still 226 in QPST , but it says "file or directory already in use"..... weird... Im trying to find whats using the file so I can kill it - have you got any ideas?

Thanks
Lloyd

After bricking 2 K3520-z's with write errrors when uploading the ISO via DC unlocker (completely where the modem refuses to light up or register as a USB device) , I found a workaround to the problem. You delete all the files in the directory besides the ISO (in QPST) , and then you remove the modem , reinsert , reconnect with QPST and then the ISO becomes deletable. You can then put back the other files and it works fine.

The autorun on the ISO that DC Unlocker provides doesnt work - but the setup file in the /data directory works. Maybe you wanna check that.

Once I had the modem working , I then removed the ISO again and tried to upload a more recent one. I got far , got an error , and then it bricked.

3 Modems blown up on experimentation. I don't recommend anyone use QPST or the DC unlocker software to load the k3520-z with generic firmware. One small upload error for whatever reason and the thing is stuffed.

Is there any way I can repair this lot of bricked modems BTW? :)

Thanks
Lloyd

We have tested dashboard write function with mf 622, K3520-z and other zte modems here. We tryed cancelling the writting process in variuos writing process progres places, phisically removing the modem. After every attempt we were able to write dashboard to modem and modem keep working.
QPST is an original qualcomm program. If QPST is not able to write dashboard, dc-unlocker will not be able too. Maybe there is something wrong with modem.

[retromodcoza]

I believe you - thanks for looking into it.

I think these modems are weird or something. I'll look into it , but I'm not sure how to revive them - they really are completely dead...

Oh well...I learn...
Cheers

Writing does not work on all modems. One one of them work, on other does not work. Try to detect modem by autodetect before writting.

You can write Dashboard to your ZTE modem using DC-Unlocker.

1. Start DC-Unlocker software.
2. Detect modem.
3. Click on "Read dashboard". You current dashboard will be read. (You will be able to write it back if write dashboard fails or it will not work).
4. Click on "Write dashboard".
5. Select dashboard file you want to write.
6. Click "Write".

If new dashboard will not work, write back original dashboard.
