I destroyed my ZTE modem band with MDMA, please help me! [solved]

[Progenix Oj101]

did you try switching it off, and on again?

The modem or the user?

 

[Seriously]

guys...im very frustrated and you are talking **** things.why the hell mdma developres didn't fix this bug? why they didn't make updated mdma softvare,so it can be fixed.is there any chance that i find some dashboard for zte,with 900 nad 2100band settings,and then just set it to 900mhz? i haved an dashboard like that earlier,but that modem was sold and i dont know where to find that dashboard now.that was for mf622 modem.

The MDMA developer cannot fix bugs in your head! Do not fiddle with things you know nothing off, you can make a schoolgirl pregnant.

 

[Seriously]

why the hell they didn't put in 900mhz band? why? sooo stupiddd i cant believe whatt a stupidness...

I also cannot believe what you did, really next time think twice and google ten times then still rather leave it to the experts than fiddling without the required knowledge.

HOW TO FIX ZTE 900MHZ BAND PROBLEM

I FIXED IT!
REALLY,I DO.
THIS METHOD SHOULD WORK FOR EVERYONE.
HOW TO RETURN UMTS 900MHZ BAND TO ZTE MODEM?
download hyperterminal,or use it if you already have it on pc.
launch hyperterminal,and give some name to a connection.
find out modem port,you should open device manager,under section modems,properties etc...(in mine case,COM5)
back to terminal,type/choose that modem port in hyperterminal,and confirm,go next...
when the TEXT FIELD comes up,type this: AT+ZBANDI=8,or at_zbandi=8
press enter.
the message should appear,see the picture.message is confirmation that the job is done.
after this,modem is factory reseted and reloaded.

Glad to hear it. Next time try to maintain composure. People tend to be far more helpful when you do.

 

[alex_1992]

i hope that people with same problem will see this post.

It doesn't work in all ZTE modems (esp. Vodafone branded), so my warning is still valid. Don't play with +ZBANDI!

The way you have written your plea for help makes many wish you would leave the forum.
I thank you for your consideration.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to hear that worked for your modem.

sajunky made a similar suggestion three years ago for Solitude's modem, but it did not work, see:

and Solitude's reply a few posts on.

Yep luckily Cell C gave me a new modem without any hassles. And then I dumped Cell C because of internet problems.

I find it hard to believe that you are 23, I would say more along the lines of 13 at a guess.
Anyway, MDMA isnt meant to be soft and fluffy, its meant for higher levels of functionality.
use the carriers software if you want it to be pretty and not allow you to break things.

i have read all of those messages earlier,before i damaged the modem.but i was tired and hungry and didn't read first page,which is most important.everything is okay now,this is low-end hspa modem,but it gives me very good pings,35-41ms etc...nad thank you.

So we know from many websites:

Set Band Status +ZBANDI
AT+ZBANDI=0 • Automatic (Auto) – Default
AT+ZBANDI=1 • UMTS 850 + GSM 900/1800
AT+ZBANDI=2 • UMTS 2100 + GSM 900/1800 (Europe)
AT+ZBANDI=3 • UMTS 850/2100 + GSM 900/1800
AT+ZBANDI=4 • UMTS 850/1900 + GSM 850/1900

Would you be able to help identify what +ZBANDI=5, 6, 7, 8, etc. do?
I'm guessing one might be UMTS 900 + GSM 900/1800 and another might be UMTS 900/2100 + GSM 900/1800.
I'll then be able to add these options to MDMA so that in future people can "fix" the problem without having to use HyperTerminal.

 

[Seriously]

I FIXED IT!
REALLY,I DO.

Now you can call yourself an engineer. You broke it and found a way to restore it, less forget you lambasting the MDMA developer for your own error, so that now makes you an expert in the field.

people should not have this problem in future,they probably won't do something like i did.this can happen only to me,because of im too curious.i just wanted to unlock another modem.also,mdma developrers should remove ''zband'' commands.

I disagree. Now that ZTE modems are responding to +ZBANDI > 4 we should be looking enabling band setting for ZTE modems again (with a warning for old modems / firmwares about UMTS 900).

 

[alex_1992]

it's really strange thing,that even deleting firmware and installing new (flashing) the modem doesn't help.i have read it somewhere,someone tried and it didn't help.people say that zte modems are bad.not true,i think they're better than huawei,because of huawei modems have problems with restarting,power issues,etc...huawei developres still didn't fixed that problem so far.
