Hello,
To recover the USB_ModeSwitch of the Huawei Vodafone K5161h 4G LTE USB Dongle (also known as LTE PK HUAWEI E3372), you can follow these general steps:
1. Connect the USB dongle to your computer: Plug in the Huawei Vodafone K5161h USB dongle to an available USB port on your computer.

2. Create a USB_ModeSwitch configuration file: USB_ModeSwitch relies on configuration files to recognize and switch the device into modem mode. Create a configuration file for your Huawei dongle using the vendor ID and product ID obtained in the previous step. You can use a text editor to create a file with the ".conf" extension, such as "huawei.conf". Inside the file, add the following lines:

Code: Select all

apache
# Huawei Vodafone K5161h / LTE PK HUAWEI E3372
DefaultVendor=0x12d1
DefaultProduct=0x14dc
TargetVendor=0x12d1
TargetProduct=0x1506
MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000"

Save the configuration file.

3. Run USB_ModeSwitch: In the terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where USB_ModeSwitch is installed or use the full path to the executable. Then run the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo usb_modeswitch -c /path/to/huawei.conf

Replace "/path/to/huawei.conf" with the actual path to the configuration file you created in step 4.

4. Verify the switch: After running the command, USB_ModeSwitch will attempt to switch the Huawei dongle to modem mode. You can check if the switch was successful by running the following command:

Code: Select all

lsusb

Look for the device entry and see if the product ID has changed. If it has, the switch was successful.
