<div>== Firmware ==<br />
<br />
I found out a way to get the firmware on a linux-only system. Mine is a debian squeeze, but it should apply to any system.<br />
<br />
First, I entered my model number on the [http://www.lenovo.com/support/ Lenovo support page] in the right siderow (Select you system / Quick Path) to get to my drivers page. There I clicked to download drivers and on the UMTS drivers. Afterwards I downloaded the "<code>7xwc42ww.exe</code>" driver package.<br />
<br />
With wine I was able to install the driver package, but all it does, was unpacking the GOBI driver setup. This one comes packaged as a <code>.msi</code> file, so we have to [http://sysblogd.wordpress.com/2008/05/10/howto-extract-all-files-from-microsoft-installer-files-msi-rather-than-to-install-the-package/ unpack] it:<br />
<br />
user@machine:~$ wine msiexec /a ~/.wine/drive_c/DRIVERS/WWANQL/Driver/GobiInstaller.msi TARGETDIR=C:\\DRIVERS\\GOBI<br />
<br />
The installer quits with errors, but leaves the files on the disk, success. But now there are several subdirectories, in which the files for the specific network operators reside:<br />

<br />
I found this out by reading the <code>ReadMe.rtf</code>, looking into the <code>UQCN.mbn</code>-Files and apply a little bit of thinking.<br />
<br />
Now I'll move the files over and try them out.<br />

So I got the Sprint Image with firmware, how does one flash the Gobi with this firmware?</div>Drozek
