Ok, so my ZTE MF627 USB modem arrived today, and I promptly reflashed it. However due to reasons i'm not going to get into, i need to get the original firmware back on here.<div><br></div><div>I've searched high and low and cannot seem to find it anywhere.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does anyone have any clue?</div><div><br></div><div>At this point, it looks like I'm gonna have to use someone else's credentials to get yet another one :(<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/6/5 Tim Dobson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lists@tdobson.net">lists@tdobson.net</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">This might be interesting for those who are often on the move..<br>

Ok, so it's not entirely Free, you have to pay £4.95 for postage and<br>
packing, but apart from that it's free.<br>
<br>
The website is <a href="http://www.3dongle4free.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.3dongle4free.co.uk/</a> and the dongle is locked<br>
to the 3 service, however it's easily crackable so it can be used on<br>
any provider with any SIM.<br>
<br>
Basically you just pay for the postage and packing and they send you<br>
the 3G USB Dongle and a PAYG SIM card, don't bother with the SIM, just<br>
run the firmware update and you have a nice fresh shiny dongle you can<br>
use with any SIM you want.<br>
<br>
The firmware update is here and needs to be run under Windows XP,<br>
instructions included: <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/235523732/ZTE2.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/235523732/ZTE2.rar</a><br>
<br>
The dongle itself is a ZTE MF627 and there are drivers for Mac OSX,<br>
Linux and even some OS called "Windows" which I believe some people<br>
are still using?<br>
<br>
Postage took 2 days, cracking takes about 20 minutes (simple process),<br>
all looks fine to me...<br>
<br>
ttfn,<br>
