after this when i did lsusb still i get the same result.

what else can go wrong? my modem is not getting detected. and i dont know what else i can do as i m new to this.

wat exactly happening? when i gave lsusb it was still the same. there was no tty device found.

Your first attempt failed because you used the -H switch together with a switch message (-M), the switch -H is for old Huawei dongles.

usbmodeswitch does not create ttyUSBx devices, it only toggles the mode of the dongle.
install and load the option.ko driver which also may need the usb_wwan driver (loaded before option ! ) if you are on a fairly recent kernel. option.ko will create the ttyUSBx devices which you need in order to talk to the dongle.

thanks LOM i installed modules option.ko and usb_wwan.ko on arm9 board

This looks like more basic failure and not something usb_modeswitch can fix. If lsusb cannot see the device, then the USB core has failed to enumerate and configure it. The device has crashed or is failing to reply, or there is a problem on the link, or the USB controller hardware or driver is failing.

To eliminate the problems you can simply fix yourself:

Make sure the device is properly connected. If using a cable: Try another one. If not using a cable: Try using one (why? because small connector issues can be eliminated by changing the mating connector).

Are you sure your board is able to supply enough power? Many (all?) 3G/LTE modems can occasionally draw well above the USB2 maximum 500 mA. This is usually not a problem on a PC, where the ports typically survive 1A bursts without complaining. But many embedded systems cannot even supply 500 mA. Try using a powered USB hub and see if that makes any difference.

thanks guys. usb_modeswitch worked aftrer inserting option.ko usb_wwan.ko module.
