You mean mifi I think you can get them unlocked

Three call it Mifi, Meteor call it Hotspot. It might be unlockable, depends on the model. DC Unlocker is probably the best place to check.

has anybody managed to unlock the Meteor hotspot (Huawei E5832 S)

i checked the dc unlocker software with seems to be working, but i'm not willing (until now) to pay the 15€ to start it

Use PSAS in windows to read the code from the mifi/hotspot.

If you need guidance do a google "PSAS"

You may need to also download the cardlock.exe program to enter the 8 digit code into the modem so it will accept any SIM card

I've personally unlocked e5830, e585, e583c using this method.

Took me around 30 minutes to phathom out how to use PSAS, generate a log, read the log using notepad and entering the code into the modem.

It well worth the time and you save yourself the cash as the unlock method is totally FREE!

the following is a tutorial copied from http://www.talk3g.co.uk/showthread.php?8334-How-To-Unlock-the-Three-MiFi-E585-manual-method-completely-free-of-any-cost and slightly modified by me

The main part of the process is culled from another site. You will have to download the PSAS software and install it to your Windows PC (works with XP, Vista and Windows 7). There may be a bit of adjusting settings required, I will cover these off after the main process itself.

Important: This is very, very, very important. Before you make a start on this please ensure that you read this entire posting and gather together and install and make sure that you know where all the software is that you will need.

Macca's help guide!

()- General Info
""- Click to select on PSAS

Requirements:

3 wireless Manager- (whatever software that came with your modem, in order to recognise your modem on usb mode)
PSAS Software (the Free version) from Phone System Analysis Software - PSAS | The successor of QMAT - (on the downloads page)
MS Windows Notepad- (This is from accesories on windows START menu)

SETUP to get everything ready to unlock your Mi-Fi)

Install PSAS software on windows computer.

After this, change the sim card inside your modem,
(to a diferent network sim card)
connect to the computer with usb cable and install the software that come with your Mi-Fi,then close down the Mi-Fi software.
(make sure that you are not connected to the modem via wireless and the software that come with your Mi-Fi is not running, this step is only for instalation of the Mi-Fi Drivers)


USING PSAS To retrieve your unlock code)

Switch On your E5832 and wait for it to start up completely

Run PSAS

On PSAS main page you have tab menus, select the "Hardware Forensics" menu tab and select "Use Mobile Port" this will open another PSAS program window for you (which is where all the magic happens)

In the new window:
on the "SETUP" menu tab (which you are on already)just select the "Serial COM Port" (you need to choose the one that says that is your 3G Application Interface, not the one that says PC UI Interface whatever the COM Port), then select the "baud speed" (This varies depending on the computer speed and windows OS(38400 worked best for me)), and thats all you have to do for the setup menu tab



Next go to the "DIAG" menu tab and click on "send" this should now show some numbers on the open space box below, On the 'Diag Functions box' (box below the "send" button box)you wanna select "Read EFS" instead of Save memory to file then tick "Alternative Method" then on "max page" type: 250 (i did 250 but can range from 200 to 600 depending on the lines), then click "lets go", this will ask you to save a file so just name it and save it onto desktop. (you have to keep trying, PSAS will crash often and the more lines the most likely to crash)Once it works it will save the file to the desktop You now have a log file which will tell you your unlock code


USING NOTEPAD to find your unlock code from PSAS log file)

Open Notepad
Now open this log with windows notepad and search for your code.The easiest way is to use the find feature in your
notepad and type "LT P" (NB: See also below) this will send you to your unlock code which are the numbers after the word LT P
(if your note pad hasnt found the word LT P in search it means you have to get more lines on the "Max page" procedure(250 was enough for me))


INSERTING ACTIVATION CODE Last step, entering the Unlock code.

Now connect your Computer to your Mi-Fi wireless and try to open any page, this will redirect you to 192.168.1.1/simlock.asp if not type "192.168.1.1/simlock.asp" into your browser and when the page loads type the code that you got from notepad


MY MESSAGE:

Thanks to all the posters in this forum you have really helped me and saved me some time and cash. Hope this will do the same for others.

I cannot guarantee this will work for you but this is what i did to get my E5832 unlocked, if anything happens to your Mi-Fi do not hold me responsible for it, as all this information is already in this post i merely compiled, thus the reason i thank all the people that posted here. Good luck doing yours, read the forums it was hard for me as it was my first time but be resilient and you will succeed!!

As an FYI to anyone trying this. This tutorial worked for me on an O2 E5832S, however my code didn't appear after "LT P" or "PST" as the linked tutorial suggests. It appeared on it's own as the first 8 digit string in the saved dump file. Seemingly though according to the forum posts it can appear on the top or bottom of the file or in the middle even. So keep an eagle eye when searching. One trick is to use Notepad++ and search for the regular expression "\D\d{8}\D".
