Hi,

wanted to update a Base E169 stick (already debranded) to FW 11.314.07.00.52 (downloaded from/via 3g-modem.wetpaint.com) and higher, but did not succeed. Hardware CD57TCPU.

Original problem was that the speed shown never came over 384kBit/s in all networks I used and whereever I was.
1st of all not all USB connectors liked the stick. Then XP detected the device, but not the Mobile Partner.

When I ran the update wizard, an error message came "Terminal plugged not firmware, the wizard can work on - update failure" or "IMEI error".

After that process the Mobile Partner Diagnostics shows the new FW version, but this changes after some time (plug/unplug/hibernate/launch again) automatically to the old version.

I tried with another XP machine, there the update wizard asked for a 8-digit PIN ("Firmware not compatible to installed version - Please enter PIN").

I plugged to a Vista laptop, nothing happened. An E220 was detected flawlessly.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT STICK????
