Force Cell ID

[mucke5]

I have an issue, where one of my routers appears to be cell hoping. Is there a command to force it to a particular cell?

Could you implement such a function in your amazing tool?

Sorry for late reply. I'm little bit busy now with life and currently doing a project which redesign Huawei Router Tool with some improved things. I will consider all the suggestion once I think the project is nearly done.

@pearlxcore I am amazed at the new software. Really great improvement 👍

Maybe these firmwares are helpful in analysing or implementing additional features in your great tool:
Huawei 5G CPE Pro (H112-372)
Here is a firmware file for the Huawei 5G CPE Pro (H112-372) as a download, I'm looking forward to lock the Cell ID:

In the firmware you linked I found 2 api related to cell lock ; api/ntwk/celllock and api/net/cell-info

If you send GET request to api/net/cell-info it will reply this :

<response>
  <cellinfo>00894668</cellinfo>
  <lac>A980</lac>
</response>

But sending POST request resulting error "root element missing".

For another api if you send GET request to api/ntwk/celllock it will reply empty response. But if you send POST request (I don't know the correct parameter) to the api it reply with "error wrong parameter". That mean I just need the correct parameter to apply new cell lock but we lack of api documentation. I don't know if 5G router has the cell id lock options in webui. But if they do, someone with 5G router need to sniff the connection to see request parameter.

[mucke5]

So the API could work if the right parameters are known, right? I will search if I can find out or do you know how I could sniff the connection to see the request parameter?
Is the API better than these AT commands or better asked, are AT commands even possible with your software?

Well I actually found a way to lock cell id but that require external tool (adb.exe). Yes I able to include it in the program but I also interested with what i found here, the api which might let us lock the cell id with just a POST request to router. This is more easier and no external tools needed. But like I said before I don't have idea what is the correct parameter.

I'm not sure if Huawei 5G CPE Pro (H112-372) webui contain features to lock cell id, but someone with could do some research on that. Some features on webui might hidden from users but they can use web dev tool and modify the html to unhidden those feature.

But sending POST request resulting error "root element missing".

My tool always have root element to send POST request -.-

[pearlxcore]

For cell locking I still looking for api solution. But if I get boring with that I will try implement the adb method. xD

[mucke5]

I own a Huawei 5G CPE Pro (H112-372) physically. How can I achieve to see the hidden features?

[pearlxcore]

I'm not saying it does exist in the webui, but why api/ntwk/celllock is exists tho. What I know is not all features in the router are displayed in the webui. The devs may set it hidden from webpage.

You can try the developer tool in google chrome. To view webpage source file, open 'Elements' tab.

To view what js code was running, open the network tab -> JS filter -> open any page in the webui that you feel is related to network stuff. If you are lucky you will find something interesting. The list of js file displayed is the code runs while you are browsing the webui page. Analyze each js code and find terms or api related to cell locking such as 'cell', 'cell_locking' etc.

_Search "celllock" or "cellock"

\menu.js
'celllock_enabled': 'celllock',

\redirect.js
CELLLOCK_STATUS_LOCKED: '2',
DIS_CELLLOCK: "#celllock",
var apiCelllockStatus = {};
getAjaxData('api/ntwk/celllock', cellockGetDate, {sync: true});
apiCelllockStatus = ret.response;

if ( GLOBAL.modules.celllock_enabled === '1' ) {
if ( CONST.CELLLOCK_STATUS_LOCKED === apiCelllockStatus.celllockStatus
&& monitoringStatus === '901') {
return DISCONNECT_TYPE.DIS_CELLLOCK;
}
}

\guide.js
$('#autoUpgBtnOpen').attr('lang-id','celllock.enable_1');
$('#autoUpgBtnOpen').text(publicLang['celllock.enable_1']);

@pearlxcore could you flash this firmware and check the js file that may have been included in the modified firmware?

Could you please describe the ADB method how to do it? What are the ADB commands to send to the router...
