Hope sum1 can come to my assistance here - I seem to have bricked my vodafone E220.
I tried to flash the modem with the standard huawei dashboard (to use an mtn sim), the process started & failed after few minutes at the "updating..." screen. when i checked the modem i found it to now be empty.

this after i succesfully flashed the firmware to version 3.2.1 last night downloaded from the vodacom website. when i stick the modem into the pc it gets recognised by xp as a huawei (prolli cause the drivers still existi), but running vmc flash the dash says it cannot find the modem.

anyone had this? can it still be saved?
 
no worries fellas, got the modem working again.
uninstalled the modem drivers thereby forcing a driver re-install which sorted the problem out. for once i phoned the vodacom data support calldesk & found sum1 who knew nothing about sorting the problem.

and they so annoying trying to walk you thru how to remove a program from windows...
 
thanks 4 da headzup larry.

no prob...
and it seems my messing it up helped get rid of that pesky vmc lite that wudn't let me connect on mtn. now i just connect with whatever dash i want, ginggs, mtn f@stlink, vmc 9.x, etc.
