Huawei BM622 downgrade firmware 2010 via tftp

First of all is we have to make it sure that we are able to access or connect the Huawei BM622  4G WiMAX wireless broadband modem CPE by verifying through pinging the IP address 192.168.1.1 via CLI (command line interface) or thru web GUI (graphical user interface) on browser with same IP address at http://192.168.1.1 to make it realistic as show below snap shot.

Whether or not the Huawei BM622  4G WiMAX wireless broadband modem CPE enable/disable its DHCP server we have also to verify our PC if we are using Dynamic or Static IP address to anticipate if the CPE device reboots failed to provide IP address or the PC itself can not acquire its IP address.

Static IP address is more preferable during TFTP firmware uploading operation to make it sure we are in the same IP address subnet and our PC is still connected even if the CPE device fail its DHCP server during power on.

To start with, the PC must be ON with the Static IP address above mention. Power off the CPE device Huawei BM622, unplug the AC/DC adapter then plug it again and remain the power is OFF.

1. Click START and RUN, then type cmd to open windows CLI (command line interface) mode
2. Type cd\ to change directory i.g. C:\
3. Make sure your bm622firmware2010.bin is in local drive C:\
4. Type tftp –i 192.168.1.1 put bm622firmware2010.bin as you can see from the screenshot below, wait DO NOT press enter yet until to do so.

5. Make sure or double check that the LAN cable is physically connected to the PC and to the CPE device Huawei BM622 port.
6. Using a pin or sharp item insert onto the pin hole and press the “Reset” button at the side of the CPE device Huawei BM622 as shown below snapshot.

7. Press the Power ON button of the Huawei BM622 while still pressing the "Reset" button.
8. Release the “Reset” button of the Huawei BM622 and press Enter to begin the TFTP firmware downgrade/upgrade.
9. Please wait for 1 (one) minute and reboot the modem.
10. Press “Reset” while BM622 is ON.
11. Open your browser type http://192.168.1.1 to verify or check if your firmware is already being uploaded, just do same procedure if it is unsuccessful. This tutorial is if you want to downgrade or upgrade your BM622 firmware via TFTP, this can be also applied to 4G WiMAX CPE Huawei model BM621, BM622i, BM625, and BM626.

How To Remove Spansion S29GL064 From BM622

Before doing this you MUST be a good experienced technician otherwise you will damage the Spansion S29GL064 flash memory IC and the board of the Huawei BM622 wireless broadband CPE modem.

Obviously, you have to open it! First you have to turn off or unplug the power and the cables from the device itself. Removed all four screws by using a match screw driver.

This is the board of the Huawei BM622 wireless broadband WiMAX CPE modem, the red mark represent the Spansion S29GL064 IC where the flash memory chip is. Other version of Huawei model BM622 its ST Micro M29W640 instead of Spansion flash memory this is just same TSOP48.

To be able to successfully removed this chip you must have a Gordak or in short a workstation  "Hot-Air" blower, these equipment are cellphone technician best friend without this stuff they can not finish their job in repairing mobile phone.

Before you can start the heating stage of the flash memory Spansion S29GL064 make it sure the Hot-Air is already stable, meaning the heat and the air must be blend that is why you must be a good experienced technician so that you know how to matched the required level of heat and the air to eliminate the damage of the board especially the flash memory chip Spansion S29GL064 or ST Micro M29W640 for other version.

Another thing to remember to avoid burning the flash memory chip Spansion S29GL064 or ST Micro M29W640 before pointing the nozzle head of the Hot-Air blower to the chips while on stable required heat and air make sure TOO MUCH flux is already being applied on it.

It will not take long to heat the flash memory chip Spansion S29GL064 or ST Micro M29W640 you will be able to remove it by lifting it using a small flat blade. Never use tweezer on removing or lifting the flash memory this will result a broken pins of the chips while pulling it.
