I am running Windows 7 via VMWare (v3.1.1) on a Mac with the latest version of
VMWare Tools which posed it’s own problems (sometimes froze/crashed/restarted but
no permanent harm done). As long as you ensure that the device is “Connected to
Windows” it should work. I had to disconnect and re-connect a few times throughout
each process to make it work.
The current 3 firmware does not allow access to the web interface and some versions do
not allow you to change the apn (access point name) which is required if you use another
provider. The version I have included allows you to do this.
All the software you need is in this zip file: Unlock E5830.zip
Some sites recommend removing the SIM card. I found it worked best with it in. I had no
SD card in the device.
If you want to check the existing firmware first...
1. 1)Connect the device to your PC with a USB cable and download and run the firmware
upgrade
tool(WLCGCPU11020_UPDATE_ALL_NO_QCSBL_V100R001C00B112SP05_USB)
2)Choose “I accept the agreement” and select “Next”.
3)Press and hold the “Mobile Dial Key” and then press the power key for about 5
seconds until the red signal LED and the yellow battery LED are both on. (if it doesn’t
work, remove the battery and try again)
4)Connect the device to your PC with a USB cable and download and run the firmware
upgrade
tool(WLCGCPU11020_UPDATE_ALL_NO_QCSBL_V100R001C00B112SP05_USB)
You will now be able to access the web interface by connecting to the Mi-FI / E5830
network and then entering http://192.168.1.1 in to your web browser. The username and
password are both: admin
The SIM card lock is still in place at this point. If you are happy with your current network
and just want to be able to access the web interface then stop here.
I used the youtube video linked below to get the general idea of how to do the next stage
as it shows you step by step but with software I could no longer obtain.
1. 1)Connect the device to the computer via USB and turn it on.
2. 2)Open install and run DC unlocker client (I could only get this to work by changing the
compatibility settings to “Vista - Service Pack 2” and running as administrator). I found
this software a bit temperamental and it isn’t strictly required - it’s just nice to use it to see
that you’ve been successful.
3)Click on the magnifying glass and the details of your modem should appear. It should
say “locked” next to SIM Lock Status but note that it will only do so if another operator’s
sim card is in the device. If your original sim is in there then it will incorrectly say
“unlocked”. Note that the screenshot shows “unlocked” as I’ve already unlocked it!
4. 4)Run PSAS (I ran this as Administrator and compatibility for Vista Service Pack 2)
5. 5)Click on “Hardware Forensics” -> “Use Mobile Ports”
6. 6)Select the correct port under “Serial Com Port”
7. 7)Select the “Diag Port QC” tab
8. 8)Under “Diag Functions” about half way down you will see a drop-down box. Select
“Read EFS”, check “alternative method” then click “Let’s Go!”
9. 9)Enter a file name e.g. abc.txt (remember the .txt extension) then click “save”
10) Browse to the file (C:/Program Files/PSAS/abc.txt) and open it in notepad -
you will see a lot of junk but bear with me!
11) Scroll to the very bottom and then along (this is where the video link I’ve put at the
bottom of this page comes in useful) until you see some numbers appear. This is your
unlock code!
12) Copy this code
13) Close PSAS
14) Run CardLock_Unlock
15) Your IMEI number should be shown, enter the code you have just copied and click
OK.
16) Your card should now be unlocked.
17) Now run DC Unlocker to check that the SIM Lock status has changed to “Unlock”

Vissa webbplatser rekommenderar att ta bort SIM-kortet. Jag tyckte att det
fungerade bäst med den i. Jag hade ingen SD-kort i enheten.
Om du vill kontrollera den befintliga firmware först ...
1) Anslut enheten till datorn med en USB-kabel och ladda ner och köra
