Today, I am sharing the Huawei E5172 Updater tool to Unlock the E5172 router. It has been created by the famous modem unlocking team DC-Unlocker. It can be downloaded from the link which is provided at the end of the article. I have already provided the unlocking solution of Huawei E5172As-22 (Batelco Bahrain), E5172s-920 (Spectranet Nigeria), Huawei E5172s-515 (Colombia UNE), H3G E5172s-22 (Sweden), and others. Various people have already unlocked this Huawei router with unlock code as it comes with un-customized firmware.
Note: Only those users proceed with this method whose router is of customized firmware, and the above-mentioned unlocking procedure does not work. If your model is E5172s-22, then skip this method.

Hello,
I have unlocked my router e5172As-22 (Portugal – NOS ). Everything fine code v2 worked.
But it did not unlock the voip/Sip function. I know it is the firmware. I tried using 191.168.1.1 to upgrade but it does not upgrade unless the firmware has the NOS ID.
Any ideas?
No idea.
