Go and google for Huawei modem unlock generator, install it in your Windows and key in he IMEI. You will see a NCK code, copy down the NCK code.

Now use Hyperterminal, Putty or minicom to AT to your Huawei USB modem and issue the following AT commands.

AT^U2DIAG=276 <—- RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS
OK

AT^CARDLOCK=55341785 <—– ENTER THE 8 DIGIT NCK CODE HERE
+CME ERROR: 3

OK
AT^CARDLOCK?
^CARDLOCK: 2,10,0 <—- IF STATUS IN THE FIRST NUMBER IS “1”, THAT’S MEAN THE USB MODEM IS STILL LOCKED. TRY THE ABOVE STEPS AGAIN.

Finally can use my Singtel, M1 and Starhub USB modem with Malaysia and Thailand 3G SIM card 🙂

M1 Mobile Network Down Again :) – Day 2

Jan16

It’s Day 2, seems like the services are still not fully restored. M1 subscribers are still complaining on M1’s Facebook page

M1 Mobile Network Down Again :)

Jan15

Luckily I made the switch many years back to Starhub and have never regretted 🙂

Plus I got discount with Starhub for my mobile plan on corporate discount 😉

Make the switch to Starhub or Singtel!

From M1 Facebook page on 15 January 2013

Update 15 Jan 2013 1410HRS: Managed to received a test SMS from my colleague who is seated opposite my desk. He managed to connect the lousy M1 2G network but not 3G. Still “psychoing” him to make the switch to Starhub or Singtel and just pay M1 the early termination penalty.

Update 15 Jan 2013 1710HRS: Almost 10 hours, just look at their disgruntled customers posting on M1 Facebook page… lol

Update 15 Jan 2013 2330HRS: Almost 18 hours. Just read a press release statement from M1 that the outage was caused by a fire suppression system and water sprinkler activated in their data centre.

Hmmm… doesn’t M1 have remote backup site to handle such disaster? Tsk tsk tsk. Wonder if my friend, Vijay, is involved in the recovery operation.

Read on various tech forums and M1 Facebook page. Seems like service is still not fully restored as some subscribers have 3G and LTE signal but unable to send and receive SMS; nor receive and make outgoing voice calls. While in some area there’s no M1 signal at all.

Grrrrr… Trapped inside a lift now in my office building while on the way down for a ciggie…

Update@18:06 – 20 minutes after being trapped, intercom security, and was told the technician still on the way :S

Update@18:35 – Finally the lights are turned on, but the lift is not moving. Pressing on the buttons generate no response… Grrrrrrr

Update@18:50 – The lift jerked and the door opened!!! Yeah!!! I’m freed!!!

Thanks to the delay by the EM Services lift technicians at Connection One, I was trapped in the lift in Tower 5 for a good 1 hour and 20 minutes before I managed to get out the stalled lift.

However, while being trapped in the lift, I was wondering if the scene in the movie, Devil, will happen to me. Eh… but it did not happen… phew!
