Hi to all,

I've installed usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data.
Modem is Huawei E1820.

It seems usm-modeswitch correctly switches modem:

Code: Select all

root@acqua:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
root@acqua:~#

But no ttyUSBx or ttyACMx new devices found.

I tested it on Ubuntu, I see

ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem

and ttyUSBx correctly shown.
I'm working on kernel 3.10 on Debian Wheezy.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

By the way: if I see target ID 12d1:1001, why in device reference file it's set to Huawei E1550 but logs showing E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem?
Maybe this is the problem?

Here logs: first using MT833UP as test (ttyACMx added), then my Huawey:

Hi to all,

I've installed usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data.
Modem is Huawei E1820.

It seems usm-modeswitch correctly switches modem:

I cant see it switching at all, which usbmodeswitch version do you use?

By the way: if I see target ID 12d1:1001, why in device reference file it's set to Huawei E1550 but logs showing E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem?
Maybe this is the problem?

12d1:1001 is an id used by many devices, it is not possible to keep track of and list all of them in the device reference file.
It is only descriptive and not used for dongle type detection, detection is done by usb id.

There is something wrong with the driver assignment above , 12d1:1001 does not have 3 interfaces of usb-storage type and no serial interfaces.
Paste an output from lsusb -v -d 12d1:1001 in your next post.

Mode switching may have failed. Exiting

[LOM]

Your dmesg is still strange with 3 usb-storage interfaces, it may be a buggy usb roothub driver causing that.

usb_modeswitch has got it right though, it finds 12d1:1446 which is the correct usb id for the dongle when it is in default mode (virtual cd-rom for Windows driver install) and it switches it into 12d1:1003.
You are using a very old version of usb_modeswitch where 12d1:1003 is not included in the target list so usb_modeswitch thinks switching has failed. It does however tell that it found 12d1:1003 with "bInterfaceClass: ff" which is the class for a Huawei serial interface.
You can now do a manual modprobe of the option serial driver and check dmesg for creation of ttyUSB devices, something usb_modeswitch would had done automagically if it had been sure that switching was successful.

so manually do the cmds:

modprobe usb_wwan
modprobe option

I'm working on kernel 3.10 on Debian Wheezy.

Is this on an embedded platform, by any chance?

[Killertechno]

Yes, is Debian running on ARM (Atmel A5).

Probably I haven't added to kernel all modules (I think Huawei needs different kernel modules than ONDA).
I'll check.

Usb-modeswitch installed through "apt-get install" command, I'll try to download sources and compile to get newer version.
