Huawei E5830, E5832 & E5838 Free Unlock

**Jim.Mahoney** · 18th July, 2011, 02:24 PM

This is a bit lengthy but it should produce your E5830, E5832 or E5838 unlock code for free!

Always REMOVE the SIM card before doing the read or you may get an corrupt file!

Instructions:

Download this version of QMAT.

Digital Kaos - Downloads - QMAT

Select the Application port of the E583x. Check in Windows Device Manager if unsure.

To test if you got the right port, send the "00" version command.

You should see something like this:

00 4A 61 6E 20 20 35 20 32 30 31 30 31 35 3A 31
38 3A 30 35 4A 75 6E 20 31 32 20 32 30 30 39 30
35 3A 30 30 3A 30 30 53 4E 43 41 41 4C 5A 4D 00
00 0D 00 00 00 01 B1
.Jan..5.201015:18:05Jun.12.200905:00:00SNCAALZM... .....

Then select: Read EFS and flag "Alternative Method".

Click "Let's go".

The resultant file contains both Binary and ASCII characters.

You will need to search for this for your 8 digit unlock code. There will be two codes in the file one is for removing the SIM lock and the other removes the Mi-Fi lock.

You can use Notepad to search the file, its crude but you should find the code in a few minutes. I have tried a program called ExtractText:

Windows 95+ programs

The results are hit and miss with this program, sometimes the code is on the last line sometimes it is at the top of the list! However, it might give you a good idea of what you're looking for! To cut down on unnecessary searching using Extract Text go to Options and then Text Options and set the parameters to: Minimum Character 7 and maximum characters 8 plus you should have only Numbers selected:

One thing to keep in mind, the unlock code will appear only once so you can ignore repeated codes. This should narrow the search down somewhat!

Example:

Do remember that you have 10 attempts to enter the correct code so do take a little time to chose the code!

A code entry to is included below....

If this seems complicated please ask someone else to do the task for you!

Please post your results!

This should provide some extra help:

Code viewed in Notepad:

Code viewed in Hex Editor:

It is worth noting that every modem I've come across so far, the correct 8 digit unlock code is preceded by Hex value 01 twice.

After reading the SIM unlock code from the device, how can one apply this code? Inserting a SIM from another operator should trigger the request for the unlock code? I'm trying to unlock a Huawei E5832S.

thanks

IMEI: 354104034366445
Software version: 956.11.109.02.309sp01

Do I need to change software version to : 956.11.17.05.309 from (E5832sUpdate_956.11.17.05.309.zip) so that QMAT will work?

This probably applies to both:

1. Ensure that you plugged the device into a USB port and that it fully installed itself!
2. Reboot PC.
3. Run Dashboard and check device is found.
4. Close Dashboard software FULLY - Check in system tray that it has!!
5. Now follow procedure step by step.

Note for Globe devices, they are almost impossible to unlock as the lock code counter is shipped as 10/10 used so, even if you get the correct code it is impossible to enter it to the device!!
