Hi All,

Would anyone who has a Huawei 538x modem (It's the same as the older '3' Mi-fi) be able to do me a massive favour?

I'm after a copy of the usb drivers for this modem, they usually appear as a CD-rom drive when you connect the device to the computer, if someone who has one could copy the contents and upload them I'd much appreciated it.

I have a 5380 that appears to be dead (I suspect someone's corrupted the flash), however if you stick it in firmware recovery mode (Hold Power + Connect) windows then recognises it as a "huawei mobile device" so I think there might be some hope to recovering it.

Problem is because it's dead The Virtual CD that would normally have the drivers on doesn't work, i'm hoping that if I can get hold of the drivers I can reflash the firmware from the recovery mode and that might fix the problem with it.
