Hi
Does anyone have stock firmware for Huawei E5776 in English please.
My E5776 was showing NO SERVICE after unlocking from EE no matter which SIM I used so I updated it to a newer firmware version but that turned out to be some Russian network's firmware and moreover its in Russian language.
Is there anyway that I can revert back to the old EE firmware in English or update it to stock firmware if available.
Thanks

I have the same request.
I buyed my Huawei to ebay from UK but unfortually the modem wasn't a stock firmware but EE mobile firmware.
My modem is unsimlocked but I need stock firmware also because the modem is in roaming because I use it in France with Bouygues Telecom operator.
I use correct APN but WAN refuse to connect...

Got the same one with EE firmware, it reports that it's in roaming, but after setting up APN and connecting manually (or marking the connect in roaming checkbox) it works fine.
But I'm also interested in getting the stock (or other than EE and english) firmware.
Someone tried german updater?

Same for me, but we cannot use roaming protection in our country...
Found stock firmware/dashboard for my E5776 from ee.co.uk!
And it's working fine - here's a screenshot which proves that:
View attachment 2446923
It's on german huawei site: http://huaweidevices.de/e5776?show=downloads but it's multi-language!
There's also pdf with instructions - first need to install the Update_UT* (drivers) and then the e5776_Update*.
If it asks for flash code, you can generate it here: http://www.modemunlock.com/huawei.php

firmware / version
hi
is this firmware compatible with all versions of e5776? mine is e5776s-32...
really hope so
Yes, it is
Hi,
Yes, I have just updated mine which was an EE branded, all is well happily connected to three using the stock firmware.
If yours is an EE one too then don't forget to get the firmware update password from that site in the post mentioned earlier.

what's EE? an network? i'm from Portugal... and mine is from a different network... 'll it work?
Likely to work
Yes, it is likely to work.
EE is a network in the UK.
The stock firmware is coming form the German Huawei site.
It did work for my device, at any rate, there are no guarantees.

Update and lose 4G
I recently followed the instructions on installing the stock firmware on my OPTUS 4G E5776. All seemed right, I had the Huawei dashboard, but after doing this, all I can connect to is to the 3G network. It seems that if you use the stock firmware, you will lose the ability to connect to the 4G network. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to set is so you can still get 4G? I have searched high and low and could not find anywhere to download and reinstall the OPTUS firmware again so I just returned it to where I purchased it from for a replacement. I am not game enough to do this again until I know I can get 4G, as this is the reason I purchased the 4G modem in the first place for better and faster speeds.
Thanks
4G Connection
@Brad1982
Someone who followed the instructions on my website to update the firmware just got in contact with me today with exactly the same issue (on the UK EE network).
To restore 4G connection go to the connection settings page and switch from Auto to 4G only and save setting. The modem will now connect correctly. Once connected for the first time you can then switch back to Auto and 4G should still work. Why this step is necessary is a bit of a mystery I'm afraid!
drops connection
I followed this thread to unlock and install the default firmware, all went ok but I find that it drops connection frequently. I change settings to 3G only and manual connect which seems to help but it still does it, any ideas?
I have seen some of the bugs mentioned here also:
http://willtaylor.org/update-e5776-firmware/
I found this link looking for an update but it looks like source code, may be useful to someone:

Hello guys.
I have a xperia Z3 from VIVO and flashed a rom from OI, everything went well on flashing the rom but after it finished i noticed that i lost my 4G. When i search for network there have a TIM BRASIL LTE but it won't let me register on it.
Do anyone know how to solve that?
Thanks!

Lito, do you think that would help?
Because the problem is that I am not able to register to the LTE network, it's not related to the ability of using internet.
Actually, this is exactly what happens, after i flash the firmware i have 4G but after a few minutes (Between 5 and 10 minutes) i completelly lose connection to the LTE network, even if it's available in the networks list.

Lito, thanks for the sugestion, i flashed the baseband for the Customized PT and after flash i got the 4G signal for about 30 minutes, but when i rebooted the phone, i completelly lost 4G again, and now in the network lists there is no LTE from TIM. Could it be because i installed an european baseband on a mobile here in brazil?
Thanks agian.

thats weird... are you sure you have the correct APN settings inputted? Also, i would assume youve tried flashing the VIVO's baseband or any other USA roms?
Try the following if you have already done all those: go to dial pad and input *#*#4636#*#* > phone info > menu top right > select radio band > try Australia or USA or what ever pops up > scroll down and make sure LTE/GSM auto is selected or try out the other ones > scroll back up and hit the "run ping test"
if all these doesnt work, i would advise you to go back to the original rom.
just curious, which model number is your Z3?

Lito, now i will complicate a little bit more then. First, the model number of my mobile is D6646 from Brazil with DTV.
Also, i tried to flash the Vivo Baseband and it was worse, i did not install any baseband from USA, just from Portugal.
I tried that on the keyboard, but when i chose USA band i just can't even register on any TIM network.
Also, i tried to flash the original rom, but i can't flash any other firmware apart from Oi. I get a blank error line on flashtool for every other rom i tried to install, so it's even worse
Feel the challenge.
Thanks again for all your help.
flash back to the original ROM if you can, also, how did you flash to the new rom? through recovery or Flashtool? if you see a blank space or what ever, you might not have the correct drivers installed on your computer, especially if youre running Windows 8.
that being said, i dont see D6646 in Xperifirm, i cant tell you what to flash and what not to flash. Without that, i wouldnt advise you to flash anything but the original rom that it came with, you dont want to soft/hard brick the device.

Lito, I tryied to flash the original room, I am using XperiaFirm to download the firmware and flashtool to flash. I can flash the Oi room, but i can't flash the vivo BR, the Claro Argentina, or the Customized PT, all of them results in a blank error, it's not drivers problems, since i can install the Oi firmware and also i disabled the signature on windows in order to install.
Anyway, i solved the problem in order to show another problem. Here is the situation:
I created another APN to use when i don't want to use internet because even with data package disabled my mobile send data to the carrier that charges me, when i deleted that APN the 4G worked perfectly, but now my carrier is charging me the data . Any idea how to block this data comsumption?
Thanks again.

that is extremely weird, never had such issues with any of my android phones. make sure data roaming is not on, the carrier shouldnt be able to charge you if you disabled data
Also, make sure the FTF files youve made with xperifirm and flashtool are correct, like not including the TA files etc..., i would advise you redownload those FTF files and try again, also make sure you have the latest flashtool available.
at this point, you are probably better seeking for a developer or someone who can read codes, make a logcat and see if the flashtool thread is available and ask there. Aside from the FTF files, you are better off asking the carrier why they are still able to charge you in such way. Sorry man, this is as far I can aid you in this matter. GL bud!

Are you certain this is H950 we´re talking about?
when you hit *#06# do you get our imei #?
check the back of your phone to see model #.
Did you flash the H950PR kdz wiping the phone or did you see your files still in internal sdcard after flashing?
Sometimes a clean install should fix this.

i cant see my imei number too, why?
@Sj12345 can you make an imei backup tool? like the ones autoprime made for the other models when you rooted it made a backup of EFS.
Just asking cause to me it seems the Crossdll to H955 messed with the phones EFS.

I am getting my Sony "U.S" Version just because of its warranty, is there a way i can Enable the fingerprint. Please help
currently all you could do is flash the International firmware. I haven't really looked into anything though personally. I'm not sure how they disabled it, maybe changing a 0 to 1 somewhere but I doubt it.
Yes I got the US version from Amazon and just flashed the CE1 firmware and fingerprint works after flashing that firmware

It doesn't have US warranty, probably you have to send it back to UK. Personally I don't care about warranties, never had to use for any of my many phones until now partly because don't keep the phone that long. The other advantage buying from Amazon US is ease of return in case you don't like the phone. If you played with it before and 100% sure you like the phone and will definitely keeping it, then yeah better to buy from clove and save the extra $150 or change.

I used the newflasher tool in the below link. Personally this is my first Xperia device in a long time and haven't used the Xperia flashing tools before.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3619426
1. Make sure you have the right drivers installed. I installed Xperia companion tool since someone mentioned that should install all the drivers. I also installed the flash tool and fastboot drivers from Xperia flash tool since I had issues putting my phone in flash mode. If you are using Windows 10 you have disable verify driver signing in boot before installing the flash tool drivers.
2. Download the firmware of your choice, I chose CE1 (Central Europe) firmware over other Asian firmware.
3. Then follow the instructions in the thread to flash.
Main issue I had was putting my phone in flash mode. But apparently flash mode doesn't have any screen like recovery etc. You just have to turn off your phone then while holding the volume button down connect your phone via USB. That should put in flash mode even though you don't get any screen to say it's in flash mode.
Once I put in flash mode everything went fine by following instructions in the thread.
Thanks,
So when you downloaded the files with XperiFirm and used NewFlasher did you delete any of the files or just drop newflasher into the created directory and flashed everything.

Just dropped all newflasher files into the created firmware directory and just ran the newflasher application from that directory. It flashed everything in there.
I know the thread says if you want you can remove specific things from the firmware directory if you don't want to flash certain things. But I didn't see any reason to do that and I never care about wiping my device since all my info is backed up in the cloud and takes around 30 minutes to restore and be up and running again. Just to be safe I flashed everything so that it doesn't screw up anything. I haven't used the Xperia flash tools before so kept it simple.

I'm pretty sure it's the US model because the fingerprint sensor is disable.
there is no VOLTE on this phone, no menu options for advanced calling like wifi calling either.

On the unbranded EU version, both is available.

I bought mine from the UK (not sure if it is the same as the unbranded EU version you mention) and when I look for those same settings they do not exist.

Could be that the settings are not available unless your carrier/plan supports them. Pretty sure anyone slipping a T Mobile sim in has those services.
Hi everyone,
I bought a phone from a friend, turned out the phone was a Russian version but the was thing is that, it doesn't connect to my local network, sim works fine but whenever I try making a call, it says "not registered on network ". I Googled this issue and finally found a way which I hope will work. And that's flashing it with firmware made specifically for my region, but the model number differs. The phone model number is SM-A750FN while the firmware I found online for my country is SM-A750F. Can I flash it without facing any problem? Or if you any better way to solve the network issue I'd be glad to know.
Thanks in advance.

I bought a phone from a friend, turned out the phone was a Russian version but the was thing is that, it doesn't connect to my local network, sim works fine but whenever I try making a call, it says "not registered on network ". I Googled this issue and finally found a way which I hope will work. And that's flashing it with firmware made specifically for my region, but the model number differs. The phone model number is SM-A750FN while the firmware I found online for my country is SM-A750F. Can I flash it without facing any problem? Or if you any better way to solve the network issue I'd be glad to know.
Thanks in advance.

You don't necessarily need to flash the whole firmware, you could probably just extract the modem.img from the A750F firmware and then convert the modem.img to an Odin flashable .tar file and then flash the file using Odin. All you should need to change is the software that controls your radio.

Yes, IMEI changing will definitely cause an issue, the network will not recognize your device if the IMEI is different than the one that should be there. There is more than one tool or method to fix your IMEI issue, I'm not familiar with those tools or how to use them as I've never had a need to use them.
Try doing a Google search for:
"How to repair IMEI on (your specific model number)".
Thanks
