How to use Reliance Huawei EC321 datacard with Tata Indicom?

Reliance netconnect and datacards are very popular in India and many of the people in remote areas where broadband facilities are still not available this is the only option for reliable internet faster than dial-up service of BSNL.

But unfortunately for last couple of months Reliance datacard speed is also have gone very bad and many times even connectivity is also problem. Other unfortunate matter is that reliance data cards are locked so evenif you have purchased it by giving them 5000 INR, you can not use it with other service provider like Tata Indicom or BSNL WLL.

With my experience, I can say that Tata Indicom CDMA Internet service is definitely better than Reliance netconnect and if you compare them simultaneously you will notice that it is almost 25% faster than reliance. So after a many research i decided to switch to Tata Indicom. But now problem was that i can not use my Huawei EC321 datacard with Tata as it has been locked by Reliance. So after efforts of 3 days i got the solution for that.

Here is hack:

Prerequisite: Huawei EC321 datacard which comes with RUIM slot, Tata T- Sim Card, Laptop with PCMCIA slot.

Procedure:

1) Download BitPim software from here.

2) Read the SPC code of your data card using it.

4) Install the software and insert your data card in PCMCIA slot.

5) Choose correct COM Port, Click on QCDM, and than read.

6) You will see all system information on screen.

7) Now Click on Other tab and and there in RUIM setting choose RUIM only.

8) It will ask for SPC code and you need to give it before changing any setting. Give SPC you have detected using BitPim.

9) Its done. Insert your T SIM card in the slot of data card and restart the device use software available on Tata Indicom website to connect to internet.

I am currently writting this hack using Tata Indicom service on Huawei EC321 data card provided by Reliance.

  14. Currently I am facing one problem with Huawei Data Card EC321. Currently I am using Tata Indicom connection. Whenever my system goes to standby \ hibernate and then I wakes up laptop, Card stops working. It is having no light. It is the condition when there is Option->Allow Standby\Hibernate. Then only option is to restart laptop.
    But when I selects Prevent Standby\Hibernate, on every wake up it displays message – USB device is not working properly or is no longer available. Then I need pull card out of PCMCIA slot and push inside again to start it working.
    Is it problem of driver, some bug with card or software. Please help.

  15. What I am able to understand is that the above said problem happens in case of Stand By. On allowing stand by mode, on every wake up it displays message – “Data Card does not exist or unavailable” along with USB message – “USB device is not working properly or is no longer available”.

    CDMA Workshop and unlocked the ZTE datacard for changing settings. But when I changed the RUIM settings to ‘RUIM only’ and clicked write, I got Failed message. Why it is not able to write? Also what are verification #1 and #2. Do I have to enter anything for verification numbers?

  21. Hello
    Is it possible to convert Reliance huawei USB netconnect card to TATA ?
    what is the requirement ?
    please email if possible.

  22. Hi,

    I have Reliance Data Card ( MC315) is there posible to break this code and to connect with TATA sim card to access the internet?

  23. Dinesh: I am not sure about MC315 Datacard but it is definitely possible with EC 321 data card. What are the basics though you can follow? Get CDMA Wares software, connect it and record all settings on separate paper. Now try and find exact firmware version number of the data card you have. And try to find on internet if there is any updated version available for firmware. If you get one try to upgrade the firmware. By upgrading firmware you will be able to destroy data reliance has put inside and will automatically unlock reliance data cards. (First of all check weather your card support sim card insertion?).

    Drop comment here if you need further help.

  24. Reliance huawei USB netconnect data card has SIM slot so if you anyway remove reliance settings from it and make changes in it to work with SIM card you can use it.

  25. VJS: No sir sorry but i dont have that hack. I will try on my mobile and will see if it can be done.

  26. You can recheck your SPC code again and see if it is correct. Varification codes can also be found through BitPim. Try to find out and see if you can get one.

  27. Hi,

    I am not able to find the link to download the CDMA Wares software . Can you again send me the link please so that i can try it with the MC 315 data card

  28. Dinesh: here is thelink for you http://www.cdma-ware.com/

  29. Hi,

    My Data Card uses COM 9 Port. But when i select that port in the CDMA-WARE software it says it is avaliable only for registered users. So i am unable to proceed further. Do u have full version of this software with you? Can you send it to me ?

  30. Hi,

    I have done till the last above step but when i select–>Other->RUIM- RUMI-Only and click on start.

    It is saying error message that “Failed. CANNOT TO DO EEPROM REBUILD.

    Can you say what i am doing is wrong any where? Need your detailed explanation here please.

  31. Dinesh: No i dont have full version. I have tried to get one but no success yet. Further your card seems to be difficult to handle. Simple thing you can do is find the latest firmware and install it on card to destroy all reliance data.

  32. Hi,

    I was seraching for that fireware for past 2 weeks to do that. Do u know any firmware software to destroy the Reliance data so that i can use for GSM connectivity

  33. it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

  34. Hey Nayham!! Please tell me your problem if i can help you out in anyway.

  35. Hello Sir, i am havin Huawei EC325, I want to use reliance ruim in it, sir as you have told to use BitPim, im facing a problem in it when i connect my data card in any port like COM 4, COM, 7, COM 11 etc. And when i click on ‘Find phone’ button in BitPim, it shows an error ‘Faileled to connect to the phone(some thing like that, sory i dont remember the exact error), in short im not able to read the SPC of my Huawei Ec325, please help Sir…..

    (sory if i have posted it second time)

  36. Dear Rashmyn, As such i am not that much technically sound with bitpim. Most of people usually do not find it difficult. But i think they have very good explanation on their website which you can refer. They also have presentation and faq with troubleshooting on their website. Please go through them and do let me know if you need further help.

  37. Rashmyn: What you can do is? First insert ypur card in notebook. Start Bitpim. It will automatically find phone. It it can not than manually find phone. On COM Port select one by one coms and in type of handset select other CDMA. And try to see if you get system folder coming up in navigation on left side.

  38. Dinesh: Sorry for delayed reply but your earlier problem is usual you will get two error saying varification #1 #2 and what you need to do is just press OK. After that change the appropriate RUIM setting from dropdown and press write button. And you are done.

    DO let me know if it works.

  39. Getting the SPC code is the problem here. I have tried all the possible option and i dont know how to find SPC code. I have also refrred BITPIM help and site but none is helpfull. If you explain how to get SPC code then it will be better.

  40. Thanks for this guidence sir,
    bit still the problem is same, i tried to us bitpim in both pc and laptop, when i put my huawei ec325 and run bitpim, its not able to find my data card, even if i configure it as ur guidence, in settings i sellect other cdma phone, an give the correct com port, after that also the same error appears, now what should i do sir…….

    is there any other software to read SPC?

  41. I am also a Reliance Netconnect User.

    Do you have any user settings or hack so that I can surf net freely. pls tell me.

    Please reply me via e-mail.

    Please advise

    Thanks

  44. Dear Faujdar I will be publishing this tip very shortly. SO subscribe to RSS Feed or my newsletter.

  45. I am not sure if bsnl provides RUIM card or not. If they provide it you can definitely use it in reliance card.

  46. Dear Pratyush, For surfing Reliance netconnect unlimited freely, we do not have any tip or hack right now. But you can subscribe to my newsletter to get it in your inbox once we discover it.

  47. Mandeep Ravesh

    I performed the steps as you mentioned and everything went fine. But after inserting tata RUIM there is no network. Please guide

  48. Mandeep Ravesh

    RUIM card is a special Tata Indicom card or usual tata indicom sim

  49. Mandeep: its simple tsim card provided by Tata Indicom.

  50. Try to get latest firmware of your device (which i dont know) and you are done.
