vibhuvw: yes he meant, you can damage your modem permanently, you may loose IMEI number making it un-workable and even if you flashed it a single time, you loose the warranty as mostmanufacturers want their service center to do the upgrade but not the end user.
yes flashing means, wiping out the in-built modem software(firmware) and re-installing a newer onemany operator make their custom version, many guys distribute non-branded ones etc etc.One should not flash the modem if its not giving problems, but as in case with this thread OP flashed it to get the support for 28mbps which UMG1831 was capable of and loading thenewer firmware made it possible for the modem to deliver that speed.
Agree with modem care, after upgrading firmware, modem will get heated up and will reset after an hour of usage, also many users reported IMEI getting erased once they tried downgrading back to original tmobile firmware. so better to avoid doing the firmware update, if already done, revert back before your modem goes for a toss.Knowledge sharing is good, but at times can be destructive like using k4505 firmware on 1831.

Flashing K4505 modem with K4505 update and UMG1831 with 1831 update makes nothing wrong.
K4505 modem behaves smoothly after update, since it is written specifically for K4505. Yes K4505 modem is also originally manufactured as 21.6 Mbps card. Only updating with K4505 specific files, it is upgraded to 28.8Mbps.
But flashing UMG 1831 with K4505 update is subject to owner's risk.Some plus some minus.
Normally any update SW will check the compatibility of the device and SW, before installation, and will exhibit warning or refuse to install. Here nothing happened. Is it the bug in the update SW ?
umg 1831 alredy supported 21.6 mpbs with all firmware
not need unbranded firmware like k4505,e182e
k4505,e182e and all 21 mpbs firmwares match to umg 1831
am get 1000kpbs DL in my 7.2 mpbs modem with download manager!!! its magic
am get 1000kpbs DL in my 7.2 mpbs modem with download manager!!! its magic
1000kbps = 0.98Mbps
So getting a speed of 0.98Mbps with 7.2Mbps card, what is the magic ?

We should always be careful with firmware update... coz downgrading of firmware is not possible in most of the cases, (in case any issue arises).
Should resort to update only if the modem is giving problems with the current firmware.
Then regarding the Voice call, it'll be unlocked hopefully sooner or later in the Original UMG1831 firmware itself. So its better to wait for that. Video call is possible with the latest Mobile Partner Dashboard update. It also supports MMS (need to configure the settings properly) as well as USSD...!!
Just for the Voice call option, its not worth messing up with the hardware...!!
