Description Răzvan Sandu 2014-11-11 14:49:28 UTC
Hello,

A fairly new Huawei USB 3G/UMTS dongle, this:

https://h-node.org/threegcards/view/en/1547/Huawei-Technologies-Co---Ltd--E3131-3G-UMTS-HSPA+-Modem--Mass-Storage-Mode-

is "seen" as an USB stick and not as a 3G/UMTS modem.

Please add it to the usb_modeswitch database.

Best regards,
Răzvan

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 12:23:25 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Hello,


Despite this bug being very old, I may confirm that the Huawei 3G modem (USB):

#lsusb 

Bus 003 Device 007: ID 12d1:15ca Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E3131 3G/UMTS/HSPA+ Modem (Mass Storage Mode)


it is still seen in Fedora 24 as a Mass Storage device and not as a modem.


No idea how to put it in Modem Mode (if possible).


Best regards,
Răzvan

lets try usb_modeswitch_data package and see if they can help you out...

I'm wondering if you could retest with the updated packages from here:

Thank you,

Hello,

For the moment, I don't own the modem described in this bug (ID 12d1:15ca), but I've tested with a similar one (ID 12d1:1506) and I may confirm that (as of October 4th, 2016) is still doesn't work.

usb_modeswitch is the official one from Fedora 24 + updates

usb_modeswitch-2.4.0-4.fc24.x86_64

The two modems are both marketed under the name "Huawei E313H" and they are similar in appearance, but probably not identical (since the have different IDs).
So I've opened a separate bug for ID 12d1:1506


Thank you,
Răzvan

Comment 8 Răzvan Sandu 2016-10-04 16:50:06 UTC
Sorry for the typo above: it's "Huawei E3131H" for both.

FYI, pictures:

This is ID 12d1:15ca

http://www.gadget.ro/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Digi-Mobil-stick-USB.jpg

and this is ID 12d1:1506

both markedted by RCS&RDS Romania under their "Digi" brand, but with model "Huawei E313H" written on the package.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
