Today, I am sharing Huawei E5172 Updater tool to Unlock E5172 router. It has been created by 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 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.
