    Unlock
    The procedure applies to Vodafone locked models HG55MAGV hardware VER.A and software
    EchoLife_HG553V100R001C02B062. You can either flash the unlocked CFE via JTAG or via Telnet.

    How to do it via Telnet:

    1. Turn off the router and disconnect from LAN.


    2. Change computer’s network adapter IP to static and assign it the value 192.168.1.10 with the
    gateway 192.168.1.1.
    3. Press and hold the reset button on the router and turn it on. Keep holding reset for 30-60
    seconds.
    4. Connect to PC via LAN cable (no other devices should be connected to the router).
    5. Open a browser with Javascript enabled and go to http://192.168.1.1. Now follow either step
    6 or steps 7-8 – these are needed to enable Telnet.
    6. Paste in the address bar javascript: request_submit ("mt @ $% rE! s5 & yuSh.cgi", 0, 0) and
    hit Enter.
    7. View the source of this page and look for the line var SecurityCookie = . Copy the value of this
    variable (e.g. 41gqmgkxp1VP6NlDY4nKZ4sv4P5It).
    8. In the address bar of the browser navigate to:
    http://192.168.1.1/mt@$%rE!s5&yuSh.cgi?wc512=SecurityCookie. Replace SecurityCookie
    with the value got from the page source (e.g.
    http://192.168.1.1/mt@$%rE!s5&yuSh.cgi?wc512=41gqmgkxp1VP6NlDY4nKZ4sv4P5It).
    9. You’ll need a Telnet client. To use Windows’ client open a Command Prompt as
    Administrator and type: pkgmgr /iu:"TelnetClient". Wait 5-10 seconds and type the
    command telnet. If you get an error try again or restart your computer. When everything is
    Ok, you should see Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Client.
    10. Now connect to the router. Type open 192.168.1.1 and you should see something like
    Huawei Home Gateway Login. Log in with the admin user and admin password.
    11. Take an USB thumbdrive formatted as FAT and copy all files from the cfe_unlocked directory
    on the root of the drive. Insert it into the USB port from the back (next to the LAN ports).
    12. Back to the PC, in Telnet type sh. A new line starting with # will appear.

    1
    13. Now type: cd /var/mnt/USBDisk_1. If you now type ls all files on the USB drive should be
    listed.
    14. Start the procedure with ./fw_update cfe.bin.
    15. Wait for the # to reappear and type reboot.
    16. Manually restart the router.

    Flash
    While keeping the same settings on PC (the static IP), turn off the router.

    1. Turn it on by holding reset for 20-40 seconds.


    2. Browse to the firmware and load it by clicking Update Software.
    3. Wait for the router to restart
    4. You can now restore the IP settings on PC (set it to automatic)
