Solved Huawei E220 driver/firmware foe Windows 7

[Devleigh]

Hi All

Appologies if this is a repeat post but I cannot get my Huawei E220 to work on windows 7. I have searched but most of the links are either dead or not relevant. Where can I download the necessary dirver or forware required.

Your help appreciated
Leighton

I've looked around and found this information:

As on the guide provided from eldotti, the upgrade operation needs to be done on a Win2k WinXP computer.

First off,

Download the following file:
https://netcom.no//kundeservice/veiledninger/connect/huaweie220/E220VistaSoftwareUpgrade.exe
Save it on the desktop or on another preferred location.

Then download the following file:
https://netcom.no//kundeservice/veiledninger/connect/huaweie220/E220VistaFirmwareUpgrade.exe

After the files are downloaded, disconnect from the internet, and remove the SIM/USIM from the E220 unit.

Doubleclick the 1st downloaded file, and follow the onscreen instructions. After that has been done sucessfully, do the same with the other one.

This packages does not contain any branding from NetCom.

And upgrades the firmware for the unit and adds a Folder in the Drivers section on the unit called WinVista

@LiquidSnak: This forum will not take HTML codes. Nice help.

OK, I am using a Huawei Model. But that is supplied by my Internet connection provider: Reliance Communications. Its very easy to install and use in Windows 7 (64 bit) : just plug it and the driver will be installed from the modem part itself. However you can download from their website too.
But the dialup interface is Reliance's custom made. You can install the driver and use Windows dial up utility to connect to the internet. You are installing the driver, but not using the Reliance dialer. OK?

But before that, I will suggest you to visit this forum: India Broadband Forum

You can refer to this post, they will understand it easily

Though its an Indian forum, they can help you as most of the helpful and knowledgeable active users are either Hardware or Software Engineers.
