, as HP discontinued support for this hardware after Windows 7. Users seeking a "repack" are generally looking for a way to make the older Qualcomm Gobi2000 drivers compatible with modern systems. Installation Workaround for Windows 10

The most effective way to use this module on Windows 10 is to manually install the Windows 7 driver in compatibility mode:

Download the Legacy Driver: Obtain the original Windows 7 driver package, often referred to as sp51022 or sp53068.

Extract the Files: Run the downloaded .exe file. It will typically extract its contents to C:\SWSetup\sp51022. Manual Update via Device Manager: hp un2420 mobile broadband module driver windows 10 repack

Open Device Manager and locate the module under "Other devices" or "Modems" (it may appear as "Qualcomm Gobi2000" or with a yellow exclamation mark). Right-click the device and select Update Driver. Choose Browse my computer for driver software.

Point the search to the extracted folder (C:\SWSetup\sp51022) and ensure "Include subfolders" is checked.

Compatibility Mode (If Setup Fails): If you use the installer instead of the manual method, right-click the setup.exe in the extracted folder, go to Properties > Compatibility, and set it to Windows 7 before running as administrator. Key Considerations

GPS Functionality: Accessing the integrated GPS often requires additional steps, such as modifying the MultiInstaller.ini file within the driver folder to enable the Dev1=GPS setting. There is no official Windows 10 driver for

Third-Party Repacks: Be cautious with unofficial "repack" sites. It is safer to use the original HP SoftPaq and apply the manual installation steps described above.

Connection Management: On Windows 10, the module may not work with the old HP Connection Manager. Instead, use the built-in Windows 10 cellular settings to manage your connection once the driver is successfully active.

Activating Cellular Data (Windows 10 Built-in Dialer)

  1. Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Cellular.
  2. Click Manage eSIM profiles (ignore error) → wait for “Use a SIM card.”
  3. Under “Mobile network” → Add an APN:
    • Profile name: Your carrier (e.g., AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone)
    • APN: broadband (or your carrier’s APN, e.g., fast.t-mobile.com)
    • Leave others default.
  4. Click Apply and toggle Data roaming if needed.

Why Official Drivers Fail on Windows 10

HP officially ended support for this module with Windows 7/8 (32-bit only). When Windows 10 arrived, several things broke:

  1. Digital Signature Enforcement (DSE): Windows 10 requires drivers to be signed with SHA-256. The un2420’s drivers use SHA-1, which Microsoft now blocks by default.
  2. Legacy Port Mapping: The module creates multiple COM ports (Application, GPS, Diagnostics, NMEA). Windows 10 handles port power management differently, causing the modem to disappear after sleep.
  3. Driver Inheritance: Windows Update may forcibly install a generic “Qualcomm AT commands processor” that doesn’t support the Gobi 2000’s proprietary +GOBIFIND commands.

The result? A yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager and a useless WWAN card. Activating Cellular Data (Windows 10 Built-in Dialer)

The Problem

If you are still running an older HP EliteBook (e.g., 8440p/8460p/8560p) or ProBook with the HP un2420 module (Sierra Wireless Gobi 2000), you know the pain. HP stopped official support after Windows 7. Windows 10 often recognizes the device as an "Unknown Device" or fails to start (Code 10/Code 31).

The Goal: Get 3G/4G data working on Windows 10 (32/64-bit).

Installation Method B: Manual INF Install (For stubborn hardware)

If the silent installer fails:

  1. Extract the repack to a folder.
  2. Open Device Manager.
  3. Right-click the unknown device → Update driver → Browse my computer for drivers.
  4. Click Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer → Have Disk.
  5. Browse to your repack folder. Look for the *.inf files. You may see options:
    • gobinet.inf (Network adapter)
    • qcmdmntl.inf (Modem)
    • qcgnss.inf (GPS)
  6. Select the correct inf for the unknown device. If you see multiple, start with gobinet.inf.
  7. Ignore Windows "Driver not signed" warning → Click Install anyway.
