B535 Three firmware update

So, the only SIM I've tried that won't work is from iD Mobile. I'm still waiting for a Lyca SIM but am guessing it will work. Maybe it's the hardware version of the router? @Adam2173 , if you get a minute, please can you post the hardware version of your router from the System Info page, and the 1st 4 digits of the iD SIM serial number?

Thanks. I was going to go to Currys to try one of their iD SIMs but have just been told that it'll cost £5 so I doubt that I'll be doing that! They will send one for free and the service is very quick but I thought that the stock in the stores may be older.
eBay & FB Marketplace next stops I think.

I was going to pick one up myself directly from ID to see if its a new thing causing the issues but like you i noticed they wanted a fiver minimum so had to pass. A few days after Christmas and all + heating costs :D
 
Here's today's SIMs, from Vodafone & Three. The VF SIM is not registered so there's no service but the router recognises it. Three is recognised and registered. I'm tempted to get yet another iD SIM to try out.

Another fail, this time from Lyca (O2 MVNO). The SIM works in my phone but the router does not recognise it, with the GiffGaff (O2) SIM back in the router, there's no service but no real surprise as it's not registered.

iD are sending me yet another SIM & told me yesterday that I can get a replacement from Currys for free so I'll try that route later in the week.

I have just tried my Lyca sim, had one in the drawer. Shows a 4g icon on my phone and on my B535 it shows (screenshot) I also have a sky sim somewhere but i can't find it. I have never had that message before on my b535 regarding roaming. Odd.

Interesting stuff.
Approx how old are your iD & Lyca SIMs?

You may have to enable roaming, I had to do this on another router with lyca.

Email order confirmation dates
My Lebara sim was ordered on the 6th of August 1p deal.
Lyca was ordered on the 14th of August also with their 1p deal
ID was ordered in May 2021, so not quite 2 years as i thought.

Thanks for the info.
I also got Lebara & Lyca SIMs during the 1p deals. I threw the Lyca SIM away at some point as I thought I'd have no further use for it...

Sure thing! I threw it into a drawer as o2 are non existent around my parts. Have a dual sim phone so got my ID sim and Lebara in there. Not for long though, think that deal runs out soon
 
No luck today with the new iD SIM. The replacement service from iD is very good though.

On the plus side, 2 things:
1, Three have confirmed the issue with the certificate and say they're waiting for an update from Huawei, chances are that this will be in the form of a new firmware release, so you may or may not want to turn off the the automatic updates.

2, I came across the following YouTube while looking around the other day, it shows some Javascript code that can be used in Browser Bookmarks while logged into the router, it allows you to change bands and see the effects in a GUI above the router web pages. I've tried it out and it works, but the code in the video only works on Chrome AFAIK, although the original code from Github does work on Firefox. It took me ages to work out how to get code into a bookmark on Opera, the simplest ways I found were to import from Firefox or edit another bookmark, maybe just a learning exercise is needed.

Here's the YouTube link, it's in Italian and quite long, but I just ran it on mute and skipped forwards until I saw something interesting..


Here's the Italian code, it's in the video details too:

Here's the original GitHub code that the author forked:

The Italian version allows you to see a map with Mobile Towers, they're all in Italy of course! But it may be possible to alter this to work with Cellmapper. The only thing that didn't seem to work was the indicator showing if you're on 3g or 4G, just to the right of the antenna info. The code uses the Huawei API which I'm guessing is what the other utilities like LTEH Monitor are doing. I'm not a JS expert, but from a quick poke through the code it looks like there's nothing dodgy going on but it's at your own risk.
