ZTE MF821D - Problems switching.

Post by Exclusive » 10 Jan 2015, 15:36

So, I got myself a ZTE MF821D from the Norwegian Operator (Telenor).

lsusb gives me :
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 19d2:0349 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM
I then proceeded to search the config file for the right id's and found this :
########################################################
# ZTE MF821D
#
# Contributor: Thomas Schäfer

DefaultVendor= 0x19d2
DefaultProduct=0x0325

TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProduct= 0x0326

MessageContent="5553424312345678000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000"
But as you can see the id's does not match up, and I senced that this was going the wrong way :P
(I did change the DefaultProduct to my id instead, but left the TargetProduct at 0326)

I then wrote the code over to

Code: Select all

 /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
And issued :
sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
I then get an error like this :
Looking for default devices ...
found matching product ID
adding device
Found device in default mode, class or configuration (1)
Accessing device 005 on bus 001 ...
Getting the current device configuration ...
OK, got current device configuration (1)
Using first interface: 0x00
Error: message endpoint not given or found. Aborting.
I also tried sudo eject /dev/sd1, but it still shows up with the same ID, once ejected.

Any help? :)

19d2:0349 is the id of an already switched device, you can not switch it further.
MF821D with this usb id is not a dialup modem, it is a direct ethernet mobile adapter for which you have to load the cdc_ether driver.
