Hello
Has updated the modem mc8775 versions OEM hp hs2300
Insertion from site HP sp36109.exe H-1.1.8.3
The modem worked normally. Has then decided to update
On version H-2.0.8.19, after that updatings and
Reboots the modem is restarted each 3-4 seconds.
But at start of updating it ceases to be restarted
Also allows to update itself, but then again it starts to be restarted. Tried versions of updatings
H-1.1.8.3, H-1.1.9.3, H-2.0.7.1B, H-2.0.8.19 result identical
The information in NVRAM has been as far as I understand damaged
During an insertion. Whether it is possible it as that to restore?
Or how that on another to force it to work?
Thanks

Hi,

I tried to update my 8755 with a new firmware a while ago, but after windows restarted the device didn't even show anymore, I was not using the card at the time that much, so i didn't do anything about it, but after I've been camping a few times lately I would like to be about to use it again, is there anything I can do to reflash the card? when it is not showing at all?

Thanks
Rich

Hi, just upgradet my T61 6457CTO 15.4" with a Lenovo brandet MC8775. Now im waiting for the SIM card slot, Antenna and Idicatorplate to arrive. Sucsessfully upgradet with the 2_0_8_19 FW. I try to download the Sierra Wirelesswatcher for the MC8775 but there is nothing to download for any MC serious Card!!! So i get the Watcher for the AirCard 875 semms to work.

Did you guys took the same Watcher: Watcher_Generic_B2808.msi? (is there a better or newer one?)

I Also enabled the v=Voice Calling function did somebody get it to work?

Is in the MC8775 also a GPRS Module installed?

Thanks for all the Informations FWs and the other stuff.....

Yes, Sierra Wireless_3G_Watcher_R10.11.0.0_Build2808 (Nov 2010) is the latest one

For the Voice feature to function, physical connections (Mic & Speaker) are required to the MC8775

Yes - See MC8775 Datasheet

So there is no way tu use the voice function with the internal mic and Speakers? I didn't need it but would be cool!

Sorry i ask for GPRS but i ment GPS.

Yes, it maybe possible, if you are willing to solder a few "flying leads" from the WWAN mPCIe slot to the Mic & Speaker of your T61. If you could get around the BIOS whitelist, you maybe able to install a Voice enabled Huawei EM770 (as per my signature) which supports PCM digital audio and is able to use the ThinkPad's internal Mic & Speaker's and therefore make & receive Voice calls via your mobile operator (providing your sim plan supports Voice calls).

I believe the MC8775V variant is GPS enabled, as it has the 2nd antenna connector. (Both MC8775 & MC8775V modules do not support antenna diversity)

Hi,

I tried to update my mc8775 card to the latest firmware, but binupdater.exe couldn't find the device. the modem works fine, so it definitely exists. :)

any suggestions?

Thanks!
