hard method

please note that by debranding your device by the hard method you probably lose your
warranty!
With the hard method the flashmemory of the modem will be changed persistently. This is
also reversible, if you backup the original content of your flashmemory (also described in
the following instructions). However if your device breaks down before or during restoring
the original content of the flashmemory warranty claims may be refused.

Install the original dashboard from your device, because later operations will require
all drivers to be installed.
Download QPST and install it.
Click "Start", "Programs", "QPST" and start "QPST" Configuration" and select the
"Ports" tab

Now click "Add New Port"

Find and chose the port labeled "USB/QC Diagnostic" and click "OK".
note: If more than one "USB/QC Diagnostic" port appears, you have to find the correct one
by trying each one. If you got the wrong one the "Phone selection" in step 7 won't show the

"Unknown" phone but will be empty.

6.

7.

Chose "Start Clients" from the menu and click "EFS EXPLORER"

In the following dialog you should see an "Unknown" phone, which you select and
then confirm with "OK".

Now QPST will read the EFS filesystem of your device:

8.

When QPST has finished reading it will show up several files. Now you might first
want to back up the existing content of the flashdrive, which is stored in the file
"ZTEMODEM.ISO". Therefore right-click "ZTEMODEM.ISO" chose "Copy File from
Phone"...

and chose a destination where the file should be saved and click "OK".

Now QPST will backup ZTEMODEM.ISO to the selected folder, which may take up to ~30
minutes.
note: keep this downloaded backup version of ZTEMODEM.ISO in a safe place - you might
need it one day!

9.

After the backup has finished, right-click "ZTEMODEM.ISO" and select "delete".

10.

After the old ZTEMODEM.ISO has been deleted, insert this one (NEW VERSION
August 2010) [mirror 1 - mirror 2 - mirror 3 - mirror 4 - mirror 5] by drag & drop (extract ISO
from RAR first!). It contains the unbranded "ZTE Join Air" dashboard (version 1.00.0B02,
English and German) with preconfigured settings for most German operators, a separate
"Driver" folder with drivers (including installer DPInst.exe), MWconn 5.6 (an alterative
dashboard) and MDMA 1.0.0.30a, a monitoring tool with USSD-support. Unfortunatley it
lacks MacOS-support.
backup of original ZTEMODEM.ISO: ZTEMODEM.ISO from Vodafone K3565-Z (VMC
9.4.2.14731)

11.

Wait until the new ZTEMODEM.ISO has been written to your device and then close
QPST EFS Explorer. When asked wether to reset the device click "Yes".

12.

That's it. Now your modem should contain the new dashboard.

rebranding
To rebrand your device just follow the debranding instructions above but use the backup of
original ZTEMODEM.ISO: ZTEMODEM.ISO from Vodafone K3565-Z (VMC 9.4.2.14731).

dashboard
Instead of permanently debranding your modem (and so probably losing warranty), you can
also manually install and use an unbranded dashboard from any ZTE modem. However
since the drivers for all other ZTE devices are incompatible with the K3565-Z, the drivers,
which will be installed with those unbranded dashboards won't work. So you either need to
additionally install drivers for the K3565-Z manually or download and install this modified
unbranded dashboard, which will install appropriate drivers for the K3565-Z right "out of the
box": download here
