Can the ZTE 890L be flashed to prepaid. If so what is the Password and SPC. Is there drivers that you can download so you can use DFS with it? I would like to play with this. Thanks for any help.

i have custom firmware for it but it sounds like you need to load the full nv's back to it.we can load it remote for you if that is what you want but my firm is not for sale like that yet.

after load with my firm just write meid by default method,send spc and change to nv only then reboot and flash normally.sorry if i didnt tell you that the other day when we did all those,im old and forgetful lol

rich hathaway
10-30-2014, 05:41 PM
you need 2 drivers for this one but you also need to enumerate the usb port for you to see the port.

here are the drivers

to enumerate the port do the following

enumerate the port by going here -----> 192.168.1.1/company_use/.asp
or if that doesnt work use this one ---> 192.168.1.1/company_use/usb_control.asp

Hi Rich, Is the 890l dethrottle stable?

rich hathaway
11-03-2014, 09:57 PM
hi man,i dont have any dethrottle for the 890L yet,i was just starting on it for that one but got sidetracked with other projects and everything that has been going on.
i personally use 3 890L's since i finished the firm i dont remember the date but i think its been a couple months or so and have only ever had one problem that i believe came from my file and my typo so i had to reload frimware to that one but all is good besides that with mine.

but i cant lie to you and tell you its de-throttled cuz its not,i can write the novatel file to it for throttle and it loads but some of whats in there is novatel specific and needs to be ported over to zte still.

but its a very nice device compared to other mifis in my opinion,i have every model of mifi flashed that can be i think, and im using the 890L

hi rich,
today i have zte 891L(us cellular models),its same as verizon 890L.
main different is 891L is cdma only,i already flash with cdms ws(v3.9 paid) but still sim lock.
how i can unlock it?does its possible to use gsm overseas like 890L?

thankyou

rich hathaway
11-07-2014, 11:02 AM
I cant say because i have never even seen that uscell variant, if i can get one i could tell you,but you kinda of contradict yourself in what you just said,if you know its cdma only then why you wish to use gsm? but if it has a sim slot and its uscell seems to me that its at least cdma and lte and probly cdma,lte and gsm like the other vzw one,i can unlock most modems but like i said i have never seen that one before so i dont know for sure.

i don't know its cdma until i have it today.

is there a secondary code for the 890l i cant seem to write the me#$ it just keeps going back to original..

rich hathaway
12-27-2014, 11:14 AM
There are 2 ways to write the meid to it that I know of, first and best method is load my firmware that zero's it out and removes security for you (stable), second way should not be used as it makes the device very unstable and will cause it to crash and is also not permanent with the second method as it reverts back to original after reset or reload the firm.
I can do it for you bro but this device does not play well over network usb so it is mail in only but I can do it with 24hr turnaround so you get it back quick or anyone local is welcome to walk it into my store.
but as far as I know no other method works I have 3 zte tools for changing meid in zte devices and none of them work for this model either.

alcatrazcc
12-28-2014, 05:38 AM
ok just once question once its zerod out and rewritten does it lock once again or can it be written again if need be without havin to resend back for flash?

rich hathaway
12-28-2014, 10:23 AM
it can be written one time only, it is permanent and all security is put back in place on the device

actually,no need change meid/imei,simple because its already global support mifis.

apperantly you do not know about mifi flashing because if you cant write meid you will never get data on these prepaid vzw plans.

well credit is important, its irritating when someone posts your work and does not mention thanks to you or they just take credit for it altogether, if this happen to you then you would feel the same i am sure.
and sharing does not pay the bills bro, some of us do this for a living.

im not sure how you dont understand this but when a guy spends his time to make something or does research and dev on a device and posts part or all of it, then some idiot posts it like it was his own giving no credit to the original developer that is just low down and dirty.

rich hathaway
11-27-2015, 10:37 AM
its on thousands of devices via me loading it but its not for sale outright as I am still using it, Actually I just finished a new version for it that has some items renamed and disabled like the idiotic feature to ban your devices that people seem to do regularly that i have spent way to much time of my life helping people to fix, now they cant do that anymore, and also they cannot change the devices mode and break the flash anymore or accidentally turn off wifi anymore either, I should have done that a long time ago. Yes there has been dethrottle for it for more than a year. I can flash and/or load firmware for it for you if you wish

freshice2009
11-29-2015, 08:49 PM
what your charge ? Rich ! too dethrottle my Zte 890 to 3g prepaid

rich hathaway
11-30-2015, 09:38 AM
To load custom firmware you will have to send it in to me as the 890 does not play well to write partitions over network like that, if you just want it flashed i can do it remotely so you dont have to mail it in. You can pay me 70 bucks for the flash and the shipping and ill load,flash and dethrottle for you, no extra charge for firmware :) it will come with the first 2 months free service.

Hi its not for sale outrite but i can load it on as many devices as you need, I have firms that are 100% generic as well as firms that zero out the meid allowing default writing after loading if you need it.

12-18-2015, 12:45 AM
I have 2 mifi 2200 I need generic firmware . Can you load generic firmware remotely ? whats your cost $$$

rich hathaway
12-18-2015, 10:07 AM
if you just need generic only 20 bucks each, it is best for you to mail them to me, they can be loaded remotely but any packet loss will result in a brick and this very possible via remote so it is best to pay the extra 11 bucks ($5.50 each way) and send them to me if you can.
