I had previously written an article about “How to update the dashboard of any Huawei modem?“. Today, I am writing an article about how to update the firmware of any Huawei modem?

Why is firmware update necessary?

Some modems come with customized firmware, and to unlock it, you need to flash the firmware first. After flashing the modem, only the customized modem accepts the unlock code.

Huawei modems come into the market with old software and lower version firmware. If you want to update the firmware to enjoy bug-free internet, it is also essential to upgrade the Huawei modem firmware.
