How to use HP un2420 in Thinkpad X200 (7457M11)

#1 Post by snglnc » Fri Jun 11, 2010 12:03 am

Hi, i have a HP un2420 WWAN card, Qualcomm gobi2000. i have update the whitelist BIOS with my X200, so i can power on and no 1804 error.

I tried many drivers, including HP and lenove. because the PID and VID of HP is different from thinkpad, so only drivers from HP is OK, and the device name in device manager is "HP un2420 QDLoader".

I downloaded many HP network manage software, such as HP wireless assistant, HP Connection Manager, but the installation is stopped by itself, saying "current system is not supported".

I alse tried a GBLoader from the guy called Josh, but after i modified the PID&VID to match my HP un2420, it says "A device attch to the system is not functioning"

I'm crazy, please help me!

I beleive Lenovo requires Lenovo GOBI 2000 cards. Otherwise BIOS locked despite being a GOBI 2000 card. I'm aware of no safe workarounds. Exchange?

I am very interested in using HP un2420 on my X200t, since it is half of the price as Lenovo's. Any progress?

I have received un2420 today. Half day and... it's working on my x201i. Current status is beta. If you want to test it - PM me.

Just to support this: my un2420 works great with my x60. I'm also using the verizon connection manager for HP, which has an option to diaable the modem.

Thank you very much
