Computer doesn't detect the device as a modem

[dmoura]

Hi there,

I'm new here on this forum, I had searched through the forum but didn't find anything that covers my problem

Sometime ago I downloaded from Huawei website drivers and firmware update for my modem, I execute the *.ISO file and now my computer only detects a Huawei Mass Storage USB Device (as a CD-Rom) and don't detect the modem part...

I've tried to connect to other computers but the device only detects and install the CD-Rom, the USB modem isn't detected or installed...

There is any way of rollback the state of this device allowing system to detect this device as a E220 Modem?

Thanks for any help...

Best if you take it to a retail outlet in your country, and ask them to flash the E220's firmware with a firmware version appropriate for the network and operating system that you are using.

Hi there,

Thanks for your answer. I keep searching while waiting for help and I was able to solve my problem

I went to the ISP Homepage and download http://www.kanguru.pt/NR/rdonlyres/...741658E8/0/HuaweiE220UpgradeVista23052007.zip then I use "Datacard update.exe" and finally installed the other *.exe files. I was only able to use the "Datacard update.exe" file in a friend's PC with Windows Vista.

Now I can't find a compatible driver for Data Card for my operating system Windows XP X64... the XP 32 Bit and Windows Vista 32 and 64Bit drivers doesn't work in this system... I can't find it anywhere

I think the lastest VMC has the 64bit drivers, but I've got no idea if it'll work with your network.

Hi,

I'm proud to say that X64 XP users can finally use their E220 modem working perfectly

Note that I'm not the user that make it work, the user that do the trick was "porkkis" from the Huawei Forum Support.

I was able to get Vista x64 drivers working on XP x64 with a little inf tweaking. Use with your own risk.

Finally I have my XP X64 running every software and hardware smoothly
It's a shame Huawei didn't officially released the drivers for this system, at least some nice user did the trick for them.
