All mobile operators provide Internet access services. You buy a 4G LTE modem, a SIM card, connect a tariff - and the network is available to you at any point within the coverage area. One drawback is that the device is linked to the operator’s SIM card. This is inconvenient when you are moving in space. Coverage areas vary and you may find yourself outside of it. Therefore, it is possible to unlock the equipment for SIM cards of all operators. Today we will tell you how to unlock the Yota 4G LTE modem.
What does flashing the modem give?
The device's memory contains programs that control its operation. If you change them properly, it will work in cases where other cards are inserted into it. Then you can use the services of the company that offers the most favorable conditions.
However, you need to understand that “unlocking” the Yota 4G LTE modem is a very responsible operation. If you make a mistake, the likely consequence may be that the device will not work. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good understanding of what needs to be done, or entrust this work to professionals.
Modem operation
Externally, the modem device resembles a classic “flash drive”. On the back there is a connector along with a slot for a SIM card of a mobile operator. It connects to a personal computer via a USB port. It can work not only in the 4G standard, but also in 3G and 2G. Old modems require replacement with new ones in order to fully use it in work to access the Internet. But even new devices can only work with Yota SIM cards. To change these indicators, Yota 4G is unlocked.
What does reflashing the modem do?
Yota is an Internet provider that offers the most competitive rates to its users. You can choose a suitable package for Internet, calls, SMS messages. The official website provides convenient calculators that will calculate your costs for paying for cellular communications. Most often, users switch to Eta because of favorable Internet tariffs.
To ensure access from all devices, they purchase a modem - a device that transfers the Internet from a SIM card to a computer.
Eta is a young operator; it does not yet cover all regions of Russia. This is a serious drawback for users, which forces them to change operators. In order not to pay for a new modem, they reflash the one that was given to them when connecting to Iota. A simple manipulation allows you to use devices with SIM cards from other operators without restrictions.

Free unlocking of yota modem in the operator’s office
Many users with the question of how to unlock an eta 4 g modem go to consultants at the service center. Of course, there are several methods for doing this yourself, but not every user will be able to perform such a manipulation on their own. They go to the official service provider. There, the consultant will ask you to write an application. On average, users wait 1-3 months for a response.
After this period, a company representative will contact the user. It will tell you if your device was unlocked. If the answer is yes, you will need to pay for the service and pick up the prepared device for other operators. You can use the Iota modem with any SIM card without any restrictions.
Technical data
New equipment from the mobile operator Yota provides the opportunity to provide unlimited and high-speed access to web resources. In this case, you can use the network without restrictions. After purchasing a modem, it is better to immediately study the instructions from the manufacturer, which can be found on the official website of the Eta company. It displays the technical characteristics and capabilities of the modem; there will be points aimed at correctly configuring the equipment when connecting.
If necessary, download the appropriate software, as well as update it during operation. Depending on the situation, Yota 4G is unlocked so that it is possible to use the modem together with other SIM cards from other cellular operators.
The data transfer speed on the router reaches 54 Mbit/s. It holds a SIM card and also has an antenna to improve the quality of communication when using the equipment. The following parameters are required for the operation of a 4G modem from Eta:
- B3 1800 MHz.
- B7 2.5-2.7 GHz.
- B20 800 MHz.
As for the operating system of a computer or laptop, outdated Windows XP SP3 will be sufficient. The modem will function fully on Linux, Mac and other systems.
Updating the firmware of the yota 4g lte modem: instructions
You can unlock the Yota 4G modem by submitting a corresponding application to the operator’s office. This option takes a long time, but it eliminates the risk of error.
It is possible to carry out the procedure using a special “unlocking” program. Various code options for flashing are available on the Internet.
To perform the procedure yourself, do the following:
- The modem is connected to the computer using USB.
- Launch the browser, enter the desired IP address.
- Click the “open” link.
- Indicate the address of the received firmware and click on the “update” button.
- You need to wait until the update finishes.
- The device is then disconnected and reconnected.
Alternative options
A quick but risky way is to buy the program along with the unlock code on the Internet. You can try to find it for free. But under the guise of an unlocking program, you can accidentally download a virus from free sites. The adequate price for unlocking in 2018-2019 is only 500 rubles.
Most sites offer to download two versions of the program, old and new. You can find out which version is suitable for the modem using the imei of the device:
- 35561106 - a new version is needed.
- 35891004 - the old version will do.
To find out imei in an alternative way, you will need to install the “SWF 2 Reader Tool” program. The device is connected to a computer or laptop. There should not be a SIM card inside the modem. In the program you need to click on the “Read Data” button. In the data that appears, you can find imei, then click on the “Unlock” button. If the program gives an error, you need to reboot the port to which the device is connected (remove the modem and reinsert it).
