ZTE k3765-z

arro · Post by **arro** » 06 Apr 2010, 09:57

The key has Vodafone brand, not to confuse with huawei k3765 wich has the same look.

After many days of tries I managed the key to work under openWRT r1873. This model has a strange behaviour, it start with 0x2000 PID that after the switch became 0x2002, the point is that there is also a microsd reader integrated wich present the same 0x2002 PID. The system find two 0x2002 devices and can not work properly. Here is the solution:

usb_modeswitch.conf

Code: Select all

########################################################
# ZTE K3765-Z
#

DefaultVendor=  0x19d2
DefaultProduct= 0x2000

TargetVendor=   0x19d2
TargetProduct=  0x2002

# only for reference and 0.x versions
MessageEndpoint=0x01

MessageContent="5553424308E0CC852400000080000C85000000240000000000000000000000"

commands to execute at startup

Code: Select all

usb_modeswitch &
sleep 2
usb_modeswitch -v 0x19d2 -p 0x2002 &

it needs two switching, from CD-ROM to SD-READER and from SD-READER to MODEM, the pause is necessary for the first switch to complete before executing the second switch.

Based on what I read on the internet it seems that the key works well under generic linux distros for PCs but under openWRT this is not true anymore. Maybe someone who googled for this problem will reach this page.[/b]

The ID points to a ZTE device. Did you try the MessageContent
"55534243123456782000000080000c85010101180101010101000000000000"
??

Your way of switching is strange; you don't seem to give any switching command, so usb_modeswitch will really do nothing at all ...

I have one of these (vodafone branded) devices; seems to me it is ZTE;

the lsusb gives me

19d2:2000

and then

19d2:0063 after flipping

I set up a udev rule that now flips it; (as another way to flip);

# gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/zte_eject.rules

SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2000", RUN+="/usr/bin/eject %k", OPTIONS+="last_rule"

Not every current distro can then dial up: I find fedora 12 works well;

I also note that lucid lynx liveCD (beta) seems to "flip" this device; (I know not how ..)

so dialup seems very easy now on lucid lynx with this device: insert; configure; connect;

interested to see comments about different target products to the one I have[/quote]

Hello,

Did anyone have success with the K3765-Z by using this guide? Unfortunately, when my device is plugged in, it already has the productID 2002, and does not accept any change message in this state. The MMC/SD-reader is identified but usb_modeswitch does not change its ID. Any clue??

Post by **Josh** » 01 Aug 2010, 00:35

If you get product ID 2002, your device was switched (by usb_modeswitch or an existing udev rule). You don't need to switch it again.

goodman · Post by **goodman** » 01 Aug 2010, 12:48

How is it possible that the device gets switched, but the serial device is not recognized? I have the usb-serial module loaded, do I have to load anything else? Shall I try to compile a newer kernel? I'm running on stock Debian Lenny kernel.

thx

Hi my friends...I ask for your help!
I have a vodafone k 3765-z, the same of the pic in the first post.
I try to get it works on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, but network manager doesn't recognise it!
lsusb gives me 19d2:2002
How can i solve? Thaks a lot and sorry for my bad English!

Post by **Josh** » 10 Aug 2010, 15:30

Well, Pocio, what exactly did you try so far?
Did you install the usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data packages?

Pocio · Post by **Pocio** » 10 Aug 2010, 15:39

Yes, of course!

Post by **Josh** » 10 Aug 2010, 16:28

Then be so kind and post the output of the "dmesg" command after plugging the modem in and waiting a while (around 8-10 seconds). Only the last 20 lines or so.

Then I have install usb_modeswitch but some difficulties with usb_modeswitch-data.deb which seems not to be installable.

I have the following .conf file

which gives me in return the following log :

Other information : it happens sometimes that the devices is 19d2:0052 but I do not acheive to make it always, and even with this situation It is not possible to select it for building an network connection...

I wondering if you have any idea to solve this issue...

@pierlau38:

The version of usb_modeswitch you are calling is very old (0.9.7). There was no separate "data" package with this version.
The current version is 1.1.3 and I would recommend to install it, even when the automatic switching might not work with your system. The included binary is a lot more reliable and has several new features which may be useful for getting your modem to work.

There is probably an interference with the automatic run of usb_modeswitch. Check your system log (/var/log/syslog) for any messages from usb_modeswitch at the end (right after plugging).
