Huawey MD Touch: 12d1:101e

Hi friends,
using Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome
I would like to automate the mass storage/modem of an Huawey MD Touch
lsusb: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 12d1:101e Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.

by default the phone is not usable for mass storage or modem too.

I've added on /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:101e from your "device_reference.txt":

Code: Select all

# Huawei U7510 / U7517

DefaultVendor=  0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x101e

TargetClass=0xff
#MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000101000100000000000000"

but nothing

if I connect the phone this is the dmesg output:

Your dmesg log shows the device switching mode and 2 ttyUSB devices being created so your problem ought to be with ModemManager.

Can you please attach the output of lsusb -v -d 12d1:101e in your next post, once before switching takes place and once after. You can just comment out the correct switch message in the device config file in order to disable switching so that you can get the lsusb listing for a not-switched device.

If iI run network manager configuration, happens that the device has no name..
and is not possible to configure it

I don't know if correct, I've commented any line on "/usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:101e"

Aah, you have commented out DefaultVendor, DefaultProduct, and TargetClass.
That won't work, only the 2 MessageContent lines should be removed/disabled.

Hmm.. There is no difference, the device doesn't get switched into modem mode where it will get 2 or more additional interfaces. Easiest for you to see that is to look for the bNumInterfaces value in the lsusb listing, you don't need to paste the output as long as that value is 1.

The dmesg in your initial post showed the device to switch and also ttyUSB devices being created so something is different now. Please try the following cmd line in a terminal window:

usb_modeswitch -p 12d1 -v 101e -I -W -H

and check if that makes a difference to the lsusb listing, if so then paste the listing here.

Which revision of usb_modeswitch do you use? It will show in the verbose output when calling usb_modeswitch from the cmd line.
Ubuntu 14.04 should afaik have the quite recent version 2.1.1 included in the distro.

If the above cmd line fails then try instead (on one line):

usb_modeswitch -p 12d1 -v 101e -I -W -M 55534243123456780600000080000601000000000000000000000000000000

This is getting worse and worse, not only have I wasted our time by mixing up modeswitch methods (HuaweiMode can not be used for this device) but I also managed to turn around vendor and product id's for the cmd line test

(I will have to do a major edit of this thread afterwards so other users doesn't get lured into wasting their time when finding the thread via google).

The cmd line should be:

usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 101e -W -M 55534243123456780600000080000601000000000000000000000000000000

and that should switch the device.
That modeswitch message is an old Huawei message and current usb_modeswitch data pack contains a new Huawei message so please also check if that one works as well:

usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 101e -W -M 55534243123456780000000000000011062000000101000100000000000000

I can see that you forgot to replug the dongle before testing the new message

Try again.

Can you please paste the lsusb -v -d 12d1:101e after the dongle has switch mode, I collect such listings as reference for the future.

Could you mount the phones internal storage when you used the old switch message?

The new switch message was given to us from Huawei and had been tested by them and confirmed to be working on all their modems, it may be that they meant all USB dongles and phones was not included.

If the old message works better, then we should revert back to that one.
We have seen in the past for another Huawei phone that the phones internal storage is available under Windows together with the modem but in linux we did only get the modem function.
I'll se if I can find that thread, I have a vague memory of it being a setting on the phone.

Ah, ok!
But you must know that now the phone have not the micro sd onboard;
if I install a microsd do you think that tha phone will store the new photo on it, and I could mount the microsd from linux?

PS
is it possible to automatize the modem setup by udev?
..and if the device is connected is it possible to access to microsd?

many thanks again

I found the other thread but the problem with getting modem and phone storage at the same time was not solved.

http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswit ... f=3&t=1827

For automagic switching via udev you'll have to edit the 12d1:101e file and replace the new switch message with the old one.
Ubuntu does some distro specific modifications to usb_modeswitch and among others is that they keep all device config files in an archive, /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/configPack.tar.gz.
Find 12d1:101e therein, edit the switch message and repack the archive.
Remove the file which you created before outside of the archive (/usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:101e), it is not needed because Ubuntu reads the file from the archive.

Regarding TF/SD card, I don't now if it will work but the reason why you couldn't mount /dev/sr1 may be because of no media inserted in the cardslot, you'll have to test.

The new "12d1:101e" should be so? Excuse me but I'm not shure...

Code: Select all

# Huawei U7510 / U7517

DefaultVendor=  0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x101e

#HuaweiMode=1

Then repack...

thanks again
