[solved] New SurfStick is recognized as CD Rom. Switching doesn't work.

Post by Bertium »

Hello users, I have to annoy you again as a beginner.

I'm currently using LMDE5 32 bit
(The plan is to switch to LMDE6 64bit when this is running, since my processor suddenly supports 64bit and I'm constantly being downgraded to edge by the provider.)
I previously had a Huawei E1823 surf stick, it worked without any problems but it could only support 3G.
I bought a new 4G stick: Huawei E3372h-325. Supplied: Label E3372-325 Importer Huawai, Manufacturer HEYUAN 517000 (i.e. without h)

When plugged in, the stick was recognized as a CDROM. This is apparently normal.

++++++

I then entered the following into the terminal according to Ubuntu Wiki:

Code: Select all

norbert@norbert-acer:~$ sudo usb_modeswitch -v 12d1 -p 1f01 -M '55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000'
[sudo] Passwort ...        
Look for default devices ...
 No devices in default mode found. Nothing to do. Bye!

Then I searched the device for the tips in the forum with:

Code: Select all

norbert@norbert-acer:~$ lsusb

Problem:
From here I don't know what to do, it's somehow getting too complicated.
1. What do I have to enter to switch to broadband modem?
2. Can I then get an Internet manager again that shows me the connection data etc.?

Otherwise I have to return the device within the deadline.

Thank you very much in advance Norbert

Info New SurfStick is recognized as CD Rom. Switching doesn't work.

Post by Bertium »

It works now!

I compiled some infos from different website and did a test. I dont know whats the meaning of the commands and all this stuff. But it works. See below. May be it helps other guys, having the same problem.

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/40-huawei.rules

#copy this text then save then close

# This is part of USB_ModeSwitch version 1.x.x
#
ACTION!="add", GOTO="modeswitch_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="modeswitch_rules_end"

# All known install partitions are on interface 0
ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}!="00", GOTO="modeswitch_rules_end"

# only storage class devices are handled; negative
# filtering here would exclude some quirky devices
ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="e0", GOTO="modeswitch_rules_begin"
ATTRS{bInterfaceClass}=="e0", GOTO="modeswitch_rules_begin"
GOTO="modeswitch_rules_end"

LABEL="modeswitch_rules_begin"

ATTRS{idVendor}=="3566", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2001", RUN+="/sbin/usb_modeswitch -v 3566 -p 2001 -W -R"

LABEL="modeswitch_rules_end"

#after close type: sudo udevadm trigger && sudo udevadm control --reload
#Dont forget to open the dongle setup site and check all settings , security and network profile!!!
