I've not had much experince with evdo-routers, but if I'm not mistaken, 
it should have a mini-http server, that you can remote administrate the 
router interface, and perform various administration stuff with it.  It 
should have a section for upgrading the firmware in it, and if it does, 
you should upload the img file through that interface.  Again, I could 
be wrong, as I said, haven't had much experince with evdo-routers.

Good luck with it
