Good day to all! I just want to share this tutorial to those who have SmartBro ZTE MF190 Broadband modem and they want to use other networks like Globe and Sun.

You need to use LAPTOP! You must plug also the charger to avoid interruption
You may put or not to put sim anyway
The Procedure:
1st Part
Install QPST
Plug in your modem (after that, close the dashboard)
Open QPST Configuration
Go to PORTS and click ADD NEW PORTS
Select the port of your modem (ex: Port: COM6 Label: COM6) and Click OK
You should see there SURFXXXX under the phone column
Click Start Client > EFS Explorer > You'll see there SURFXXXX Label then click OK
You'll see the files and folders in the modem. You MUST not touch (or attempt to click ) the folders.
Save a copy of these files (backup in case you want to restore your old dashboard)
config
reset_cntr.bin
-pbm_phone_uid.dat
pbm_master_v_20.dat
ZTEMODEM.ISO
UimEfsAPDULog.Txt
NODOWNLOAD.FLG
SWITCH.TMP
AUTORUN.FLG
Then after backing up those files, delete those files (all 9 files but remember NOT to include the FOLDERS)
After deleting, you'll be prompted to reset the device, just choose NO then close the QPST Configuration
2nd Part
Update the firmware using the MF190 1st Updater (ET_EG_EUV1.00.00)
It takes 10 -15 mins to update. Just be patient.
After the update, the dashboard of the 1st updater will install and you will install it
After the installation, the 2 dashboard will show up (SmartBro and Etisalat). Just close those dashboard then Unplug your modem
Replug your modem. Close the dashboards
Do the steps on the 1st part
Open QPST Configuration
Select the port of your modem
Open EFS Explorer
Again, don't dare to click the folders!
Delete those 9 files above (you can keep a backup of them if you want)
config
reset_cntr.bin
pbm_phone_uid.dat
pbm_master_v_20.dat
ZTEMODEM.ISO
UimEfsAPDULog.Txt
NODOWNLOAD.FLG
SWITCH.TMP
AUTORUN.FLG
After deleting, you'll be prompted to reset the device, just choose NO then close the QPST Configuration
Open the MF190 2nd Updater, wait until the port is detected, then update (dtac aircard).It takes 15 - 25mins so be patient.
After the update, the dtac aircard will install and you should install it. Then, the 3 dashboard will show up ( SmartBro, Etisalat, and dtac Aircard). Just simply close them.
After that, uninstall the 3 dashboards
Restart if you want or just do a scan by CCleaner.
After the restart/clean, replug the modem with a sim card
Viola! your modem now is unlocked!
