The 829FT modem was originally designed to work together with MTS SIM cards. It could be purchased at a promotion on very favorable terms. If for one reason or another the services of MTS are no longer suitable for you, you can put a SIM card from another cellular operator into the modem. But you need to understand that in this case the SIM card simply will not be detected in the device. To connect a card from another operator, the MTS 829F modem will have to be unlocked. Today we will talk in detail about how to unlock the 829FT 4G LTE USB modem. Before we start flashing the 829F modem firmware, it’s worth taking a closer look at the characteristics of this model.

Custom recovery

The custom recovery, called TWRP, will be backed up to FlashFire before the update launches, and will be restored afterwards.

Having finished working with the set of commands, click the “Flash” button. FlashFire will tell you that it will take a while to load and a couple of black windows will appear. Then click OK again.

After this, FlashFire will reboot, displaying a long scrolling text on the screen. Don't touch the device - it's just FlashFire executing the necessary commands. The application will reboot again when it has finished flashing the update and restoring the root. That's all.

Technical features of the model

The 829F modem has the same parameters as the Huawei E3372H device. The difference is that the first device is programmed exclusively to work with MTS cards, while the second device is unlocked and is capable of working with cards from all cellular operators. Model 829F is a device that is compact and functional. The device looks like a specially shaped flash drive. The device is lightweight and small in size, making it convenient to keep with you at all times. If necessary, the modem can be quickly inserted into the laptop for work. The case has a special connector through which you can connect to a USB port.

Thanks to this equipment, the modem can be connected to a laptop or tablet computer in a matter of seconds to gain access to the mobile network. The modem does not have its own battery. This is its advantage, since users do not have to constantly charge the device and worry about whether there is enough charge for autonomous operation. Users highly appreciated the device for its 4G support. The modem provides an excellent high-speed connection.

Working with such a modem, users have the opportunity to:

• Watch videos online
• Listen to music
• To communicate in social networks
• Surf
• Work with email
• Download the necessary files.

MTS 829F modem unlocking

The instructions we provide below involve purchasing a special unlock code. Unfortunately, there are no free options for unlocking your device. The user receives his code immediately after payment. Difficulties may lie in the fact that when obtaining a paid PIN, the user will have to perform many actions. If you follow all the steps step by step and carefully study the instructions, you can unlock the modem in an hour. To flash the 829F device, you will need a special code, which has become much more difficult to obtain.

• Display for MTS Smart Race 2 4G

If previously, to obtain the code it was enough to simply know the IMEI of the modem, now, in order to bypass all the locks, you will need to collect data. Information is collected using Huawei 2015 Code Reader software. As a result of this work, the user should receive the IMEI and Encrypted Block required to generate a PIN. Before starting the process using the DC-unlocker client, we need to install the latest firmware version.

Unlocking your device for any SIM card

After you download the special software for the Huawei e829FT modem, you can safely proceed to the process of obtaining a PIN.

Below we will look in detail at how you can flash the 829F modem device as quickly and easily as possible to work with all cards:

• The first stage of our procedure is to install all the drivers that came with the device.
• Now we need to unpack the Code Reader into a folder, close all device settings, deactivate the Internet and activate the software.
• At the top of the window you will see a button that you need to click on, it’s called “Read data”.
• After the system analyzes the data, in the list of COM ports you will see a modem device with all the data. The information will not be displayed if you skip the first step and do not install the drivers.
• The next step to complete is to click on “Calculate Encrypted Block”. This manipulation will take from two to twenty minutes, so you will have to wait a little. Further at the bottom of the window you will see special parameters.
• You can order a code on different services. It is advisable to choose the most reliable and proven resources. Copy and paste the data obtained in the previous step into a special section.
• When a new window opens, you will need to register the model of your modem device and indicate its IMEI, which consists of fifteen digits.
• When you confirm your actions, a special code for unlocking the device will appear in the window.
• We install a SIM card of any operator into the slot and launch the settings for connecting to the network.
• Enter a special PIN and enjoy using the Internet.

Restoring 829F after unsuccessful flashing

Quite often, updating modems and routers ends in complete failure for users. Incorrect actions or failures that occur during the flashing process lead to the device being completely damaged. Often, users forget to initially download or install the driver, enter the IMEI incorrectly, or exhaust all attempts provided to enter the unlock code. Restoring the device's functionality is possible using BootPoint. If the modem fails completely, you should contact a technician or take the device to a service center.

How good is this gadget? Should we really pay attention to it? What might you encounter?

operating system

An important point is the operating system that is installed in a particular phone. At the moment, there are only a few options that are offered to buyers. Reviews of the MTS Smart Sprint 4G smartphone are positive for the software installed on it.

The thing is that the gadget is equipped with an operating system based on Android. The version is one of the latest - 5.1 Lolipop. You can find many interesting applications and games for this phone. As buyers say, there is only one drawback - the power of the device.

And it has no competitors in this price range.

Utility SP Flash Tool

The most common way today is to use the special tool SP FLASH TOOL. You can download it at.

The main feature of the program is the ability to flash any device with MTK processors (MediaTek). Version 5.0 allows you to flash the latest phone models.

The SP Flash Tool allows you to “revive” even a completely incompetent victim of unsuccessful actions (“brick”). In addition, the program is easy to use. All actions are performed in three steps.

What is needed for the process

1. Smartphone with MTK processor.
2. A computer.
3. Drivers for a smartphone for an existing operating system.
4. Firmware file.

If the first two items are obviously available, then the archive with the files must be searched. Downloading firmware from unverified sources is extremely dangerous. You can turn your smart race into a brick. To date, the most reliable resource where files are downloaded is w3bsit3-dns.com forum. In particular, you can download firmware for the MTS smart race 4G.

First you need to install the drivers on smart race. Attention, MTS Race must be turned off and connected to the computer!

1. Open the device manager (right-click on the “Start” button).

1. Find an unknown device. If the drivers are already installed, then it will not appear. Right-click on the device and select “Update driver”

1. Click on the link “Search on this computer” .

1. Press on “Browse and select the downloaded driver file on disk”.

After that, the driver for Race is installed and you can begin the next step.

Install and run the SP Flash Tool. Go to the Downloading tab, click the “Choose” button. Select the downloaded text file in the name of which is “scatter”.

After that, a list will appear — check all the boxes. Disconnect the phone from the computer. Check that the charge should be at least 50%. Better charge to full.

Select “Firmware Upgrade” from the drop-down list. Click the Download button.

A process begins that cannot be interrupted. Upon completion, a green checkmark will appear. After that, the smartphone must be turned on and wait up to 15 minutes.

Smartphone MTS Smart Race 4G

— A new low-cost LTE smartphone from the MTS operator. Sold at an attractive price of 3990 rubles. MTS very correctly set the time for the start of sales of this phone, although there is no advertising of this smartphone on TV yet, but ordinary users already have a keen interest. Let's take a closer look at what's interesting in the MTS Smart Race 4G smartphone.

MTS Smart Race 4G Dual Sim – is running Android 5.1 Lollipop

has two slots for SIM cards, both slots are initially locked under the MTS operator. The heart of this smartphone is the quad-core MediaTek MT6735M processor with a clock frequency of 1 GHz. As in many smartphones in the budget sector, the video controller is the MALI-T720-MP2. The amount of RAM is 1GB, the amount of internal memory is 8GB, but it can always be expanded with MicroSD cards, which are supported up to 32GB.

The screen is 4.5 "inches with IPS matrix, but the resolution is only 480 x 854 pixels, for modern smartphones this parameter is not enough.

MTS Smart Race 4G Dual Sim has two cameras, the main one is at 8 megapixels and the front at 6 megapixels, you can familiarize yourself with examples of photos and videos by viewing the overview, a link to which you can find at the bottom of this page.

The modes of the supported networks are quite extensive, but all of the following applies only to the first slot, the second slot can only work in 2G networks (GSM / EDGE). As for SLOT No. 1, it supports the following network modes: 2G (850, 900, 1800, 1900), 3G (900, 2100), 4G LTE (FDD: band 1,3,7,20; TDD: 38,39, 40.41).

Like all smartphones in this line, it is equipped with a GPS module, as well as Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz).

The MTS Smart Race 4G Dual Sim case is made in a classic form, the material is plastic and has the following overall dimensions: 67X134X79mm. The battery capacity is 1800mAh, which should be enough for 200 hours in standby mode and for 4 hours in talk mode. The manufacturer of this smartphone is a Chinese company Ginzzu Technology Limited.

What we have in the end, the MTS Smart Race 4G Dual Sim is an interesting smartphone for an affordable price, if you compare it with the competitor Alcatel Pixi 4 (5) 5045D, then the price can be called a plus, as 5045D is sold for 3990, but there is a mandatory payment in the form of 2000 rubles for communication services. MTS Smart Race 4G has a more attractive display due to the IPS matrix. 5045D is already running Android 6.0, which certainly attracts attention and makes you think. But on the other hand, MediaTek MT6735M on Android 5.1 is a workhorse that is time-tested.

Unlocking / Unlocking the MTS Smart Race 4G Smartphone Network

1. As mentioned above, both slots of the MTS Smart Race 4G smartphone are initially configured to work only in the networks of one MTS operator. But the manufacturer of this smartphone Ginzzu Technology Limited has retained the full-time ability to unlock the phone. 2. It is enough to insert a SIM card different from the MTS operator into the phone and turn it on. After a short boot, you will see here such a request for the network unlock code (Enter the NCK code (attempts 100)):

3. A feature of this smartphone is the fact that if you inserted a SIM card of another operator's SIM card slot No. 1 and entered the correct unlock code, the second slot will unlock automatically at the same time, similarly if you insert a SIM card other than MTS and enter the correct one unlock code, then slot number 1 is unlocked automatically. It should also be noted that the codes for each smartphone are unique, as well as unique codes for both the first slot and the second.

Advantages and disadvantages

As a result, we can summarize the main positive and negative aspects of the new mobile device from MTS.

Appearance

The smartphone comes in four color options: dark grey, silver, white and gold. The model we are reviewing is dark gray or, in bourgeois style, Dark Grey. The whole appearance of the phone seems to scream: “I was made by ZTE!”, But no, its manufacturer is the Malaysian company Haier, which is what is written under the device’s battery. Borrowing (read: blatant copying) of design elements from more famous brands is the norm among the Chinese. In a general sense, there is nothing remarkable in the appearance of the new smartphone from MTS. The usual average design of an inexpensive model, without conspicuous budget details like white unpainted plastic and other obscenities.

The smartphone is completely painted in one color. The only things that stand out from the overall picture are the silver volume and power keys on the right side of the device and the same edging of the main camera. There is a flash under the camera eye. Connectors for charging and headphones are on top. The left and bottom ends of the phone remain untouched.

On the back cover you can see the MTS logo, painted in white paint, and the holes for the speaker of a purely ZTE shape.

• MTS 970H phone: characteristics. Firmware for all operators

Under the back cover there is a modest 1800 mAh battery, 2 slots for microSIM SIM cards and a slot for a microSD memory card up to 32 GB. Both SIM card slots are locked for the MTS operator, so the smartphone will not work with other operators without unlocking it.

Display

MTS SMART Sprint 4G has a display based on a TN matrix and this is its obvious minus. The viewing angles are so small that it is impossible to choose a position for the smartphone in which distortion of the colors of the picture would not be visible. Coupled with a resolution of 480X854 pixels with a diagonal of 4.5 inches, the display does not leave the most pleasant impression. The pixel density here is 217 ppi, but, for example, the Alcatel OneTouch Pop 2 TFT display produced a clearer picture at the same pixel density. Apparently, in order to meet such a modest budget, we had to sacrifice something, otherwise we would not have seen the LTE module in this smartphone. The sensitivity of the touchscreen is average; it is not always possible to unlock the phone the first time. Supports up to 2 touch points.

Below is a video with viewing angles tested:

Tariffs for mobile phones

For 2021, MTS 4G Internet tariffs consist of 4 main offers. Some of them have unlimited traffic at night and limited during the day, and some are completely unlimited. Three tariffs are combined into the Smart group.

1. Tariff
2. My Smart.
3. Smart
4. Our Smart
5. X.

The latter is the most interesting and is positioned by MTS as an unlimited MTS 4 G LTE tariff, but in fact this is not entirely true. You are limited to spending no more than 7 GB per month, but such popular services as: VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, Apple Music, Google Music, Yandex Music, Youtube, Zvooq, App Store, World of Tanks and many others. Tariff cost: 500 rubles per month

In addition to these tariffs, Internet is also provided by others. The most interesting among them is “Smart Top”, which for a subscription fee of 1950 rubles will provide you with 20 GB of Internet throughout Russia.

In order to connect a single Internet to all your devices (up to 5 pieces), you can use the one of the same name, which allows you to pay for traffic for several smartphones and/or other gadgets at once.

To connect a new device, you need to send it an invitation through the personal account of your main gadget and confirm. The cost of the service is 100 rubles per month.

Lollipop

When installing an operating system update, root access is usually lost. In Lollipop and earlier versions of Android, the update restores the system partition to its factory state, removing the su binary. On newer rooted devices, the boot image is overwritten. If a custom recovery is installed, then the standard update may not be installed at all.

SuperSU once had a “survival mode” for firmware updates, but it was removed after the release of the FlashFire app.

Sound

The external speaker installed here is not the most powerful. You need to be more careful not to miss a call in a noisy place. When listening to music, there is a slight wheezing. The included headphones are not of very good quality; at maximum volume they hurt the ears. More expensive headphones do not help the situation: a little bass appears, but in general it is still not very pleasant to listen to. I didn’t have time to install the equalizer, but it would be the right decision. The sound of the internal speaker when talking with an interlocutor is surprisingly good, in my opinion better than on the Alcatel OneTouch Pop 2.

Unblocking operators

To unlock the device at the MTS sales office you must present:

• phone in original packaging;
• receipt of the completed purchase;
• statement written according to the sample.

The consultant can unlock the gadget or create a special service request - in this case, the unlock code will be sent later in the form of an SMS or an email message. The received code must be entered after installing a SIM card from another operator and turning on the phone. The service is provided free of charge. The operator has no right to refuse it.

Each person can unlock the gadget independently - using a special program Root Explorer, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. After downloading the application, you need to open the file and click on the “Mount R/W” button. Then you need to allow access to “root” and click on the “Copy here” button.

In the menu, you need to go to the “Permissions” window, and then select “Enter Octal” here. Here you need to enter the number 1, and then press 6 3 times. To confirm the operation, press “OK” 2 times. After rebooting the device, you can connect SIM cards from any operators.

The “Symlock” is also removed after entering the command *#*#3646633#*#* on the device. Here, in the “Simme Lock” item, go to the “Network Personalization” sub-item, where the “Unlock” option will immediately be visible. After this, the combination 12345678 is entered into the field, and the operation is confirmed. Finally, press the “Unlock Permanently” button.

An inexpensive phone with a stable 4G connection can be used for Internet surfing and work purposes. It is not fast, but it supports a large number of mobile applications.

FlashFire by Chainfire

FlashFire is a powerful application from Chainfire, the developer of SuperSU, which, if you have root rights, provides rich functionality: flashing update files, including in zip format, creating and restoring backups, erasing data, and much more. It eliminates the need to manually copy and restore using recovery, and also automatically removes root and re-roots when flashing update files.

In principle, FlashFire should work on most Android 4.2+ devices. However, there are a number of caveats.

On many devices, the presence of root prevents downloading and flashing updates. Some devices will download the update, but will require a tool like FlashFire to flash it successfully. On other devices, the update is not downloaded at all, so you will have to obtain the update file in a different way (they are posted on forums such as 4pda and XDA Developers), and then flash it through FlashFire. Without the update file, nothing will work.

Moreover, if a rooted device needs to receive a major OS version update - for example, from Lollipop to Marshmallow, then the task becomes more complicated. Since it is impossible to get root in Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader, if the bootloader is locked, root rights inevitably disappear. If the bootloader has been unlocked, then the FlashFire application will be able to maintain (or restore) root access after the update is completed.

So, while FlashFire is not guaranteed to work on every device, it is nonetheless commendable. FlashFire is installed from the Play Store.

Bottom line

The phone is definitely worth buying if you're looking for the cheapest 4G solution possible. Yes, there are better phones, but they are also priced accordingly. Here you have 2 slots for SIM cards with support for 4G and Android 5.1, and for that kind of money I personally am willing to put up with the disadvantages.

What we liked: + Low price + 2 SIM card slots + 4G support + Latest version of Android

What we didn’t like: - Fuzzy display with small viewing angles - Mediocre main camera - Weak battery

Why update the firmware on Android

The reasons are different for everyone, the main thing is that in new firmware the manufacturer corrects bugs and shortcomings.

• The problem is with the quality of the pictures, even if you have a good camera.
• Poor display response to touch.
• I would like to see the new Android Pie 9.0.
• I'm tired of the old version of Android and want new features and capabilities.
• The phone doesn't turn on.
• The phone battery has stopped charging.

1. First you need to download the firmware by selecting one of the options below. Along with it in the archive is the necessary set of programs (TWRP and others).
2. Then extract the file “instructions_rootgadget.txt” from the archive. Using the archiver program...
3. The firmware file contained in the zip archive must be downloaded to a memory card or smartphone memory.

• Android Pie 9.0 is a flagship OS, one might say, but still a little unfinished. URL: upfileget.info/android9pie
• 8.0 Oreo is an excellent option, with a minimum of bugs and rich functionality, but version 9 is certainly better. URL: upfileget.info/android8oreo
• 7.0 Nougat is a stable version in all respects, it works even on low-power hardware. URL: upfileget.info/android7nougat
• 6.0 Marshmallow - versions 5 and 6 are already really old, although they were once the pinnacle of progress. But if you switch to them from versions 3 or 4, then of course the difference is very noticeable. URL: upfileget.info/android6
• 5.0 Lollipop URL: upfileget.info/android9pie
