VZW Mifi 2200 Firmware

**4MUSKRAT** · 12-06-2012, 12:26 PM

ok I have a Sprint Mifi 2200 & would like to load Verizon's Firmware on it. Question is where to find a download of this firmware & how would I load it? I have a Verizon mifi 2200 so could I use CDMA WS 3.8.7 to pull the firmware then put it onto the Sprint Device? Reason I care is the Verizon 1 won't charge but can connect to pc & I would like to be able to charge the device while using so I don't have to swap batteries all the time. Thanks for any info

Or can I just load all my info & files for vzw onto the Sprint device & get the same speeds as I get on the VZW 1? just thought about this.

you cant pull the firm with cdma ws. i dont think you will be have much luck pulling the firm,we can pull system/boot/ect images from android devices but as you know thats not an android. i have seen firms for vzw and spr mifi's posted around the net,there are many platforms for these devices,not sure if they are reverse compatible or not but you should check for that before you render your device inoperable.
i am assuming you think the vzw os is a faster smoother running sys than the sprint one,or if not why do you wish to change it? i am curious.

The reason I want to use the Sprint Mifi is Cause my VZW Mifi device charge port won't charge the device & swapping batteries in & out suks. I read somewhere awhile back that it is possible to swap the firmware on these supposedly. Not so much that 1 is smoother than the other I personally wasn't able to get the sprint mifi to work on vzw. I set it up the same as I would a vzw device with prl,username, passwords, nv items etc.... No go unless i was forgetting/missing something which may b very possible that's y I threw that in there at the bottom. I have already changed the spc so I can get into the sprint device.

I am on Verizon PrePaid so esn/meid is not a factor

Isnt it DFS that has the firmware in there that u can write to the sprint version? Ive just got a 4510L on VZ PP. way faster than the 2200

Yes DFS has the Firmware I do believe. It costs $35 for 5 minutes though so I would just buy a diff device if I have to pay that much.

So is it the same process/steps to put a 4510L Device on Vzw pp?

Yes DFS has the Verizon firmware and if you follow Rich's suggestion and flash the Verizon firmware to the 2200 it literally takes five minutes to flash to boost or Verizon prepaid and unlike the sprint firmware there is no updating needed.

We do a bunch of these so the Evolution version of DFS pays for itself in 10 mifis - just food for thought
