How to install Huawei Mobile Broadband EC 306 EVDO RevB in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit ?

Best Regards


Excuses me for my bad english

When I connect the modem on ubuntu, it fails to mount system and furthermore it is not recognized as a CD-ROM.

I is not installed Windows on my computer, but I try to open the modem under Windows on a PC friend, There is no script file called "Linux", but only Windows.

Connect the dongle/modem/adapter/whatever-you-like-calling-it and browse through the files on the onboard storage (often shown as a CD-ROM in devices). Do you see any script-file called 'linux'? Select it and right-click. Under 'properties', check 'execute'.

Now, open the file and click on 'run in terminal'.

Share the results.

UPDATE: Sometimes, the modem storage media fails to mount on Ubuntu systems. Try opening it on Windows (for which they're made for! :-( ). Now, copy all files on it to your Ubuntu system and do as said earlier.

UPDATE2: [OPTION 1] The device storage is shown as a flash drive on your system.

Execute the following command in the terminal (all in one line):

echo 'SUBSYSTEM == "usb", SYSFS {idProduct} == " 1506 ", SYSFS {idVendor} ==" 12d1 ", RUN + = "/ lib / udev / modem-modeswitch - vendor 0x 12d1 - Product 0x 1506 - type option-zerocd "'| sudo tee / etc/udev/rules.d/45-huawei1550.rules

After the command file 45-huawei1550.rules appears in the directory /etc/udev/rules.d/ , from which the OS will load the drivers when the modem is connected next time.

Now, disconnect the modem and reboot. Plug the modem. Open network connections and set-up the connection according to your location & ISP.

[OPTION 2]: a. To install the Linux Driver tool only: Run the following command in the installation directory:

    `./install $PATH`        (The "PATH" is where the driver directory is)

And then copy usbmod & startMobilePartner files to /bin/

Copy 45-Huawei-Datacard.rules file to /etc/dev/rules.d/

Restart the system and connect modem again.

Good luck.

    Just in case the command doesn't work as intended, take note of any extra spaces I might have put.

After extracted linuxdriver.gz file go into the driver directory and open in terminal. Run following commands

cd /path-to-the-directory-where-you-extracted
sudo chmod 777 install
sudo ./install
0

I run the following command in the terminal:

servant @ creation: ~ $ echo 'SUBSYSTEM == "usb", SYSFS {idProduct} == "1506" SYSFS {idVendor} == "12D1", RUN + = "/ lib / udev / modem-modeswitch - vendor 0x 12D1 - Product 0x 1506 - type option-zerocd "'| sudo tee / etc/udev/rules.d/45-huawei1550.rules

[sudo] password for servant

tee: /: is a directory

tee: etc/udev/rules.d/45-huawei1550.rules: No such file or such

SUBSYSTEM == "usb", SYSFS {idProduct} == "1506" SYSFS {idVendor} == "12D1", RUN + = "/ lib / udev / modem-modeswitch - vendor 12D1 0x - 0x 1506 Product - type option -zerocd "

servant @ creation: ~ $

45 huawei1550.rules file does not appear in the directory / etc / udev / rules.d /

the modem is still not up.

I downloaded the driver on this link: http://www.huaweidevice.com/tcpsdownload/downLoadCenter?category=&flay=software&downloadID=NDAzMjM =

In the Linux driver, there is no file-45 Huawei Datacard.rules but File Huawei-10-10-Datacard.rules and Huawei Datacard-and-old.rules also 49Huwaei

I installed the driver:

serviteur@creation:~$ cd /home/serviteur/driver

serviteur@creation:~/driver$ sudo ./install

INSTALL_PATH is not set ,auto install

CURRENT PATH=/home/serviteur/driver

INSTALL_PATH=/usr/local/Mobile_Partner

 If a fieldname is given, just print out that field (or nothing if not found).

 Otherwise, print all information out in a readable form

 If -0 is given, separate with nul, not newline.

 If -b is given, use an image of the module tree.

1.Installation

  a. To install the Linux Driver tool only:

     call the following command in the installation directory:

        ./install $PATH         (The parameter "PATH" is where the driver directory is)

     And the can copy usbmod file to /sbin/

                 copy startMobilePartner file to /sbin/

                 copy 10-Huawei-Datacard.rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d/

                 register the auto run settengs into the current system.

     To make the settings applied, you must restart the system.

  b. To integrated the Linux Driver tool into the third dashboard application:

     call "install norestart" in the installation tool of the third dashboard application. 

     This call scheme will disable the restarting function in the tool installation.

     And after the third dashboard application installed, its installation tool must restart the current system.



 2. To inquire about the version of the Linux Driver tool,

    call HWActivator --version.



 3. The current version is : Linux Driver 4.19.07.00


HWActivator Linux Driver 4.19.07.00
