Hi ValdikSS and thanks for your reply.
I have tried the balong program several times.
Both from command prompt and as a pure executable.
He always gave me platform error.

Today I downloaded a new version of about 18 days from the github.
I did it through cmd.

It seems to work does not release the platform error.
I use Win10 Pro 64.

I have great difficulty using the flash program as it is in Cyrillic and is not displayed from the command prompt.
I may have a flash guide via Balong.

Thanks for the support.

Ps.
Is the firmware + webgui file updated to your latest release as from github with the latest version of open vpn?

Thank you

hi comrade ValdikSS
thank you for your Mod. I really enjoy full petential of this dead cheap Mifi.

Also I want to ask,
1. it is possible for setting crond in this mifi?

I have to do this because my ISP service is really annoying, mifi must reconnect to get full internet speed past 00.00 am

2. there are circulating photo of mifi info screen in my country forum that this mifi could unlock other frequency bands. it is possible through firmware mod?

That is possible, but only to some extent. Most probably it would require hardware modification, too.

Yes, you need to enable entware autostart and crond autostart

You need to open telnet client, connect to the router, type the provided command into telnet prompt, and reboot the device. I assume you're on Windows, you can use stock telnet client or download e.g. putty. Search the internet for more information.
Alternatively, you can use https://tools.texby.com/unlock-codes/huawei/ to calculate unlock code from IMEI.

I have 1 question again.

I can't open the OLED Hijack menu, because the screen on the router is broken. how to automatically activate telnet and adb without open the OLED Hijack menu on device. because when I enter the router's ip address in putty, it displays the message "NETWORK ERROR: CONNECTION TIME OUT" (Check in the picture)

Message on putty

Your router does not support the bands listed in the web interface I guess. I made this menu for my router model.

You can't. Either rebuild the firmware or blindly try to activate telnet. I don't have the router nearby.

    • Installed "imei" script to change IMEI
    • A local transparent proxy server "tpws" and a script "anticensorship" are installed to circumvent censorship to sites from the registry of prohibited sites in Russian Federation (IPv4 only)
    • Added DNS over TLS resolver stubby (version 1.5.1, compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2p) and DNS-level adblock (IPv4 only)
    • Added extended menu on OLED screen https://github.com/ValdikSS/huawei_oled_hijack
    • AT^DATALOCK code is disabled
    • Added kernel module TUN/TAP (for OpenVPN and other programs)

    Okay, but after the extraction process is complete. I open the Huawei web ("192.168.1.1") displaying the SIMLOCKED message, as in the picture. how to handle it

    If your device is SIM locked, you need to unlock it manually. The easiest is to execute:
    Code: 
    atc 'AT^NVWR=8268,12,1,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,A,0,0,0'
    via telnet.

    Previously with the FW Stock the modem was correctly recognized by my fritzbox 7390 as a backup lte unit.

    Now, on the other hand, it is recognized as a USB disk and I do not have the possibility to navigate via the modem with the fritz Box.

    Click to collapse
    Your FritzBox can't switch modem to another composition (usb_modeswitch is missing or not configured properly). It could be that your previous firmware has special settings which allowed it to be used with FritzBox.

    Try choosing "AT, Network" under "USB Mode" in advanced OLED menu. It should help.
