Unlocking procedure

Once you must have downloaded all necessary files from the links below, proceed with the unlocking as thus;

boot point Huawei E3372h-153

• Start by installing the Huawei drivers you downloaded from the link below.
• Once the drivers have been installed, extract all other files like firmware and webui for Huawei E3372h
• Next, you will need to dismantle the USB internet key and locate the boot point as shown below
• Once you have spotted the boot points as you can see above(first image or seconds anyone will do), use the tweezer to link the two boot points and connect to the Computer. At this point when you connect, you should here a sound coming from your Computer and the LED should be off.
• Once connected, you will see drivers installing, and when it’s done, note the com port number of Huawei Mobile connect – 3G PC UI Interface from the device manager or you should see it display once drivers have all been installed.
• Open Balong USB loader, click on “detect” and select the com port of your E3372h-153 modem.
  
  
  
• After the above step, click on the “three dots” beside the “load button” to select usbloader bin from the saved folder.
  
  
  
  
• Now, click on the “load” button to flash the usbloader bin file in order to erase the custom firmware in your internet key.
  
• When the process runs completely without any errors, you should see this
  
• Once you have succeeded in flashing the usbloader bin file, the LED should start twinkling. At this point, we will need to install firmware. We will start by downgrading.
• Launch and install the E3372h-153_Update_21.180.01.00.00 firmware
  
  
  
  
• After this step too, your modem should keep twinling(the LED). Proceed with a firmware upgrade by installing the E3372h-153_Update_22.180.05.00.00 update as shown below.
  
  
• After the later, the modem will install drivers and open the default web browser with the URL address http://modem.home but won’t be able to display any content. This is simply because it has no WEB UI
  
• Currently, your modem has already been unlocked, and all that is required is flashing the WEB UI. So, install Update_WEBUI_17.100.11.00.03_HILINK
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Once the WEB UI is installed, the router will now open the web browser showing you the new interface which is the default Huawei UI for all general Huawei modems
  Disconnect and insert any sim card and then coonect to the Computer.
