What you need :-

Branded ZTE MF60 3G router. I tested this method with Comviq (tele2) Sweden branded one, haven't try with Telstra one since I don't have it.
MF60 Driver. I can't find this on official ZTE site but I downloaded it from UK carrier here. You should download the windows version.
Telenor's firmware (get it here)
DC-unlocker tool and 7 EUR money. (Don't refill the credit just yet, wait until it detected your router)
Time around 5-10 mins

Please read through the whole step-by-step including the update section first before you proceed. Some reader found an easier way to unlock the device but it might not work on all devices.

Step by Step Unlock Branded MF60 3G Router :-

Install the MF60 driver, that you downloaded from second bullet above.
Plug the router to your machine
Start the telenor firmware upgrade tool. Wait until the "upgrade" button become clickable.

Here windows should pop-up and say that new device is detected! Something similar to this.

Close the telenor firmware upgrade tool.
Now your router is on something called diagnostic mode.
Wait until windows finished installing new hardware as on the image on step 4
Start DC-unlocker
Try detect it with ZTE modem
If it's detected then now you can pay for the unlock credit and unlock the router

You can even use it in USB mode from here but you probably notice that the battery indicator is dissapeared. To get the battery indicator back you type "AT+ZCDRUN=F" without quote in the DC-unlocker. Restart the router, your battery indicator will be back but you will lose USB mode.
