Novatel firmwares

[rich hathaway]

So I was curious about this and decided to try dfs firm i do have the latest version 14.10.21 and so far it has bricked all 3 of the devices i have reloaded or try'd to reload,none of them had any problem before and all were functional,but when that tool writes the modem partition it fails almost immediately and since its in a partially loaded state the device is fubared.

so i try'd to wait a few then write it again like ryan was saying but dfs is infinitely stuck now "searching device" and will not attempt to re run the modem partition.

so it seems the user has no choice but to disconnect and pull the battery and replug to find now the device is "stuck" in download mode.
upon my second attempt with all 3 devices the outcome is again the same amss partition is failed quickly upon reload and dfs tool is now stuck searching the device again.
so upon 3rd attempt again dfs will not load the device but this time it gives error "boot execute failed" which is funny since the device's mode is already "download" why does this tool think it needs to resend that command,obviously upon reading device state it mistranslated the devices mode for something other than "MERLV760" which is what the mode clearly is,every other tool i have verifies this, (fyi MERLV760 mode for 2200 is the download mode that is called to that device for firmware to be downloaded to any partition).
so i am 0 for 3 with this, i was however able to recover my devices with some custom tools.

is anyone else having any luck with dfs and loading 2200 after failed load?
if any of you need i can recover most any novatel or zte mifi device once bricked if you cant get dfs to do it send it to me
or maybe there is another workaround for it someone will post
