Hi All,


I would like to ask if any other Huawei B315s users experienced similar issues with booting up after latest firmware update? Yesterday I was prompted a firmware update and I accepted. It downloaded the 60+ mb update and installed till 99% at which point router switched off.

It then never came back on and remained with the power light on the left shining for more than 20min. I found that longer than normally would be and tried restarting router with the power button and nothing. I then tried combination of buttons even trying the hard reset at the back and still nothing. It is now stuck with the power light shining, the "clouds" next to it shining red and the last 2 bars for the signal strength shining and the smallest of the 3 not? I think its in some mode now.

I have checked online and no mention of similar issues only steps to unlock if locked to a certain provider can be found.

So now I have booked it in with Edgars since I bought it through them, the wait now begins... In the meantime I would just like to get a knowledge base going of some sorts as many of these issues can be solved without booking in the device unless its a hardware failure and the device is physically busted (I assume many issues could be fixed with software/firmware updates or removals).

Also possible states or functions the router has when using combination of buttons/steps?


Regards,
Shadley

I think next time you receive push for firmware upgrade, ignore. Request for firmware file and upgrade locally. The best you can do.

As for the feedback, nah, no one.

Yeah just such a pain to be in because it was cause by the provider of these devices and not a User error and now I have to wait days to have it fixed which wasn't my fault to begin with!

Anyway will update with results when I eventually get feedback.
 
I have the same issue with the Huawei B315s update. After accepting the update prompt, the device went into 'reebooting' and then died. Only the power lamp works. Wifi access is gone, LAN access is gone, attempt to force load earlier software version (pressing 'power' and 'wps' simultaneously until restart) doesnt work. The router is now working as an expensive and very lousy low power led-lamp.
It is to bad, as it was originally a very reliable and fast 4G/LTE router.
I have tried to contact HUAWEI product support for a fix, but have been stone walled. Huawei is now officially on my personal black list.

Online firmware upgrade killed many devices. Router is probably in 'Factory' mode, boot loader is listening to the uploading server on cable connection. Holding 'Power' together with 'WPS' doesn't help alone. If you want to revive it, google for "B593s-22_Multicast_upgrade_tool", otherwise don't toss it out, maybe someone will do it for you.

Hi

I can repair these routers. It involves opening the router. Hardware mod and then software upgrade.
 
I had an issue after software upgrade my B315s-936 refused to boot and stayed with only the power light on. The following sites and firmware helped. It is now working 100%
I had to make my own USB A male to male cable, but it's very easy, it's a one to one connection +V to +V, -V to -V, +D to +D and -D to -D. Also, when I followed Video 1 (not in English), I did not get that the shorting link had to be in place throughout the firmware upgrade process. Power LED will stay off when the shorting link is in place. See Video 2 (In poor English) which is clearer on this part of the process.
