3G ZTE MF622 modem does not work with static hal FDIs

[Mike]

Binary package hint: hal-info

After the bugfix #291333 my ZTE MF622 Modem cannot connect anymore with networkmanager.
It is now reconized as Onda MT505UP / MF632 music player (LP: #291333)

when I delete this part in

My modem works again.

I have a similar problem with ZTE MF622

I have a Intrepid (updated) and this no recognize this modem, i try create a UDEV rule but i can download at max. 500kbps (my connection is 1Mbps). So i change the hal-info, now can download at more than 1Mbps.

 lsusb still returning "Bus 004 Device 003: ID 19d2:0001 " but i can connect without problems

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

by default Ubuntu say this is a CDMA device (ZTE CDMA Tech), but it is a GSM 3G Modem.

[kapetus (rcapeto)]

hello,

I have a similar problem, I tryed to delete the "ONDA" lines and my ZTE doesn't work anymore, then I puted there the lines and it recognises and start the configuration issues, but can't connect.

I have a TMN portuguese card, and in the config it's there the TMN connection and I think I've done all the config steps, but still not connecting.

In the network manager apears "mobile broadband CDMA connection" is there anything more that I can do?

thks

[Carlos Eduardo (carlos-speedracing)]

Hello,

I too have this problem. After make an system update the Network Manager not connect. I try some internet tutorials but can't connect to Internet.

In the network manager apears "mobile broadband CDMA connection" and i can't connect. Can I change this default config??

Thanks.

[EPx (elvis-pfutzenreuter)]

The problem is driver/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h (http://phildev.net/linux/usb-unusualdevs-notes.html). MF622 (vendor ID 0x19d2, product ID 0x2000) has been added to this list so usb-storage does not try to mount the ZeroCD feature of this 3G modem.

Modem has a storage to keep Windows drives within itself, and once it is unmounted, it changes USB ID to 0x0001 which is usable by usbserial.

The problem is, if usb-storage ignores 0x2000, it never gets mounted, then not umounted, and then it never switches to 0x0001. Not even usb-modeswitch can change ID; only access to storage does the trick. It usb-storage wants to do the right thing with this unusual-dev it should effectively open it and then close.

Kernel 2.6.24 from Hoary, which still does not have the MF622 modem in unusual_devs.h list, works normally with this 3G modem, albeit I need to modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 bla=0x0001 manually after unmount (I am too lazy to configure udev). You can even use the modem storage for something else, it mounts automatically like a pen drive.

[kapetus (rcapeto)]

EPx,

I didn't understand whwt should I do to fix that problem, can you explain a litle bit more understandable?
I'm a little bit noob in LINUX, I don't know mutch of programing, but I can do every thing when well explained, like tutorials

thanks

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

EPx,

  This is not only a usb-storage problem, even detecting the device ubuntu detect it as incorrect device (like CDMA insted GSM 3G modem). I believe this need hal-info correction too.

[Rupert H. (ruphe)]

I have exactly the same problem with Easy Peasy 1.0 (formerly Ubuntu EEE) on an ASUS Eee PC 1000H.

The custom connection I've setup in the "Mobile Broadband" tab in Network Connections does not show up in network manager, but instead a "Auto Mobile Broadband (CDMA)" connection appears, which obviously does not work at all.

I could solve the problem by modifying the "10-modem.fdi" file the same way Cleber did. After doing that, the entry for my Broadband provider showed up in network manager and I could successfully established an Internet connection. I tried a couple of times, even unplugged the modems a good few times, and it worked every time.

Cheers for that Cleber. :-)

Btw.: I did not notice any performance problems at all. As a matter of fact speedtest.net reported similar speeds on a Mac with the official software.

My modem works fine!!!

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Mike, Cleber, can you please try Paulo's suggestion? Run this in a terminal:

  gksu gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi
  do the change as proposed
  sudo rm /var/cache/hald/fdi-cache
  reboot

[kapetus (rcapeto)]

i have tryed all options in this tread and i've been unsucceded in all, it recognises the modem but not as it should, i can't connect to the internet, i'm using the Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic, i used to make ALL updates available, when they're released, i don't bother to experience the new releases, and by mi experience help, or triying to help, on errors.
but i used to connect to mobile internet and now i've been privated to do that.
i don't wont or need to use other OS but this is making mi head bloows.
if in other releases works, why doesn't in this one?
i will not kwit untill it works, please help

[Mike (vendas-r2hospedagem)]

Cleber,

I used the suggestion from Paul and my modem still works fine as before.
I don't use network manager anymore, but wicd for my wireless and wired connections.
UMTSmon is what I use for my mobile broadband connection.

[kapetus (rcapeto)]

well, i installed UMTSmon, and... i got connection again, that's a god option, thanks...

[Paulo Neto (xchaos76)]

try it!

It makes all zte/onda modem to work. lsusb don't show the names because a kernel config.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

OK, I researched the history of this a bit. It seems that this chip is used in two different devices, but with the same product ID, and speak two different protocols:

          </match>
        </match>

The 1 here was assumedly correct when this got committed first. But it is not called "ONDA" here. So perhaps we need a more fine-grained differentiation based on product names. Can anyone who is affected by this please do

  lshal > /tmp/hal.txt

and attach /tmp/hal.txt here?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I also asked upstream for advice.

[jsenlai (jsenebox)]

This is done with the hal modification from Neto.
It works last night but seems not working today. Maybe it's my provider.

[jsenlai (jsenebox)]

confirm. it was my provider.

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

Martin, i try Paulo's modification and work for me too.

[jsenlai (jsenebox)]

ZTE MF622 is a HSDPA USB dongle.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Interesting upstream response: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2009-February/013000.html

It seems with this magical "udev modem prober" we can get rid of this static modem file altogether and generate a correct configuration on the fly.

[jsenlai (jsenebox)]

nice! it would be great.

[Paulo Neto (xchaos76)]

ok, look the kernel sources: /usr/src/linux-xxxxx/drivers/usb/serial/option.c

...
  This driver exists because the "normal" serial driver doesn't work too well
  with GSM modems. Issues:
  - data loss -- one single Receive URB is not nearly enough
  - nonstandard flow (Option devices) control
  - controlling the baud rate doesn't make sense

I changed the 5ª line, do the comments and add 2 lines down.
Find the modem and the connection with Claro works fine now.

But i can't unplug the modem and reconnect again, it's don't worl like this.

(podemos falar em português aqui?)

[Paulo Neto (xchaos76)]

I make the update in my system, but the same bug lives in hal-info... I make the correct syntax that i used in my last post and it works fine...
I belive that the problem lives in fdi creator.

Danne, eu estou tentando fazer todos os modens funcionarem, pois o modem da onda 19d2:0001 está como cdma e é gsm

isso tá errado também, o 0x2000 é o "cd" desses modem isso tem q ser apenas ignorado pelo hal

o correto ai seria 0x0031.

seu modem claro funcionou porque vc ignorou as instruções para o modo cdma e colocou as do gsm.... porem por curiosidade se vc conseguir um modem tdma 0xfffe vai ver que ele não irá funcionar...

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

Guys, every update on hal-info can may update 10-modem.fdi and the problem will go back again, so after any update maybe you need make this correction again, until this problem is fixed.

The problem with plug/unplug as already explained by EPx (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/305968/comments/7)

Danne, please use English only, your question or answer sometimes can solve problem of many others.

Paulo, I try this code (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/305968/comments/37) and works fine now. Mas continuo com o problema do ubuntu não reconhecer o modem após desplugar e plugá-lo. Só é reconhecido se já estiver na usb antes do boot. Muito obrigado pela explicação linha por linha do arquivo. De nada adianta ficar mexendo sem saber o que realmente estamos fazendo. rsrs.

And Cleber, about the link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/305968/comments/7

Is it possible do something to Ubuntu mounts the modem (like a modem and not a pen drive) when unplug/plug after boot?

My Ubuntu don't mount even like a pen drive and even like a modem. =/.

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

Danne, the only way is changing unusual_devs.h and recompiling your kernel

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

Oh, thanks. Hope in Jaunty may be fixed. So by me is fixed. Work fine. Thanks Paulo and thanks Cleber.

[Paulo Neto (xchaos76)]

Danne, wait 30s after you plug modem because it (19d2:2000) is ignored and changed to modem (19d2:0001) after this time.

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

I wait and don't changed. Continues :2000 even after 3 minutes. I don't have the usb-modemswitch. Need this patch to change, or the file 20-broken-usb-sticks change it self?

[Paulo Neto (xchaos76)]

danne, download the kernel, edit unusual_dev, remove:
/* Reported by Mauro Andreolini <email address hidden>
 * This entry is needed to bypass the ZeroCD mechanism
 * and to properly load as a modem device.
 */
UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x19d2, 0x2000, 0x0000, 0x0000,

  US_FL_IGNORE_DEVICE),
and recompile the kernel....

or reboot your machine for plug your usb zte.... in the next 10 days I will try to recompile my kernel to try to solve this problem and I will post the results...

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

Will use the Carnaval's time to try this, rsrs. Thanks, Paulo.

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

    I have compiled my kernel yesterday, removing 19d2:2000 from unusual_devs.h. Now my modem works very fine, plug/unplug works ( if unplug and plug again device is detected as usb storage, when unmount it after some seconds it automatic change to modem device )

   Tested with Jaunty Alpha 5 running on VirtualBox 32Bits and HP and Dell notebooks 64bits.

So for me, removing device for unusual_devs.h and correcting hal-info solve the problem.

Best regards,
Cleber Santz

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

  I make a WIKI for this bug correction https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G/ZTE_MF622

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

I'll try right now.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

We will not do anything about this in jaunty. Jaunty's network-manager will use the udev modem prober from tomorrow on, which will dynamically detect this, without the 10-modem.fdi maintenance nightmare.

Please see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2009-February/013004.html for details.

It would be great if people here could test Jaunty Alpha 6 next Thursday (booting the live system from CD should work, no install required) and see if things work.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

We won't change the kernel in stable releases for this.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I'm not sure what to do with hal-info in intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10). I could revert the newly added modem in #291333, but since that has a different product ID (0002 instead of 0001 which is the problem here) it feels that this is just a red herring.

If anyone knows how to set up hal FDIs in a way that makes the 19d2:0001 with GSM-07.07 work without breaking the same device with the IS-707-A protocol, please speak up. So far the workarounds proposed here just make one or the other work, which is fine for local modifications, but we can't use that as a general solution. Or am I missing something?

Thank you!

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

Martin,

   But even with "udev modem prober" the device 19d2:2000 must be removed from unusual_devs.h or it will not be mounted and cannot be changed to 19d2:0001.

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

Martin,

    "udev modem prober" is working fine, but the unplug/plug problem still happens and for some machines like IBM Thinkpad the modem is not recognized because Ubuntu boot don't change to device 19d2:0001. Soh we need remove device 19d2:2000 from unusual_devs.h and maybe create a UDEV rule to solve this.

Regards,
Cleber Santz.

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

Tried using the modem and not worked in Jaunty. Even with the steps described above does not work.

When plugged in before boot, it is recognized in lsusb as 19d2: 2000 and not as 19d2: 0001 like in the Ibex.

Anybody got any solution?

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

I did a test with the Huawei E220 modem (recognized automatically in Ibex) and did not work in Jaunty. It is recognized, connects but I got no internet. No pings.

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

I tried with another modem Huawei E220, but configured for another local company, and worked. So problem must be that other

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

The problem is solved in Huawey E220, it's just the DNS server. I change the DNS and have internet connection now. SO, come back to the ZTE modem unfixed. My fail. Sorry.

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

My lshal content:

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

Jaunty installed on my notebook (Dell Latitude D531) and the modem is recognized by boot. Unplug plug does not work, but at least I can use as the Ibex, but not edit the files as 10-modem.fdi. Thank you all.

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

This week, after some updates, but when I connect to connect to Windows, restart the computer by booting in Ubuntu. When I am connected and disconnected, with no more connection, just doing the procedure under Windows. Someone with the same problem?

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

Fixed, just problems with my 3g company

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

Danne if this still doesnt work for you in latest jaunty, please open a network-manager bug.

[Danne MCA (danne-mca)]

The modem works fine in Jaunty, just the problem that unplug/plug doesn't work. But the problem have a solves recompiling the kernel.

Samuel,

   Seems that you get your kernel from kernel.org, please try with Jaunty standard kernel (2.6.28-11-generic).

and run sudo dpkg -i *

And yes, this modem works out of box in karmic

[Anton Piatek (anton-piatek)]

Given Karmic is out soon I will just wait for that. Will try and find my cdrom drive and try it with the current LiveCD

[CafeNinja (cafeninja)]

Just tried my onda MT503HS (MF628) and got new spew in dmesg...still didn't work, but was more promising.

http://paste.ubuntu.com/286504/

It did successfully mount the usb mass storage that is the driver base for windows.

If anyone could tell me what more details might help under karmic to diagnose...just give me the commands to try.

With Karmic Live try boot the pc with the usb modem attached and check the network manager

[Henrique Barbosa (hmjbarbosa)]

Cafe,

It seem you have the memory stick mounted. There should be
an icon for that on the desktop... Theoretically, if you eject it
the system should then mount the USB modem.

So, try a right click -> eject on the memory stick icon.
Wait a bit and check, via dmesg, if the usb modem comes
to live.

Henrique,
Thanks for your feedback. I did both suggestions.
1.) reboot with device already attached = previous results...fake cd device found.

2.) "ejected" from the options menu the cd it found. Still no change in network manager. output changed to:
dmesg:
[ 633.745288] ISOFS: changing to secondary root
[ 654.144107] usb 5-2: USB disconnect, address 3

lsusb:
lsusb |grep 19d2
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 19d2:0002 ONDA Communication S.p.A. ET502HS/MT505UP ZTE MF632

Still no mobile broadband option available from network manager.

perplexed.

I just tried my ZTE modem form three.co.uk on karmic, and it does work with the network manager applet in kde. I did install a few dependencies, and run the installer.
The 3 dialling program didn't work, but connecting via network manager with a dialling number of "*99#" and nothing else set did let me get to their website.

I am not sure how many pre-reqs were really needed, and their kernel module failed to build, but I suspect the udev rule they supplied allowed the device to appear as a modem and not a cdrom
The udev rule in quesiton is:
#SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", GOTO="phone_rules_end"
#ACTION!="add", GOTO="phone_rules_end"KERNEL=="sr*",SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi"
#ACTION!="remove", GOTO="phone_rules_end",KERNEL=="scd*",NAME="%k", ACTION=="add",
BUS=="usb",KERNEL=="sr[0-9]*", GROUP="cdrom",SYSFS{idVendor}=="19d2", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2000",SYMLINK+="MODEMCONNECTION",MODE="0666", RUN+=""
LABEL="phone_rules_end"

But as I am on a liveCD I did not reboot, so don't know if it actually was used or not

[Elvis Bortoletto (elvis-bortoletto)]

Hi all,
I use Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and it seems I have the same problem. I use three GSM 3G Dongle:

1. Onda MDC502HS
2. Onda MT503HS
3. Vodafone K3765-Z (ZTE)

When I plug one of them, they are recognized as a CD-ROM device. When ejecting the "CD-ROM", they switch to a GSM 3G modem. But:

- the second and the third ones, after a while, are shown in NetworkManager;
- the first one is NOT shown in NetworkManager (and this is my problem).

By the way, the first one (Onda MDC502HS), after having been switched to GSM modem, works correctly:

a. "lsusb | grep 19d2" outputs:
 Bus 003 Device 004: ID 19d2:0002 ONDA Communication S.p.A. ET502HS/MT505UP ZTE MF632

b. "ls /dev/ttyUSB* -al" outputs:
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 2009-12-15 14:57 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 1 2009-12-15 15:29 /dev/ttyUSB1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 2 2009-12-15 14:57 /dev/ttyUSB2

c. I can use "wvdial" to connect to the Internet.

Furthermore, if I boot the computer with the Onda MDC502HS dongle plugged in, it results already switched ad GSM 3G modem and NetworkManager shows it!
Is this a NetworkManager bug?

affects Karmic too

I'm closing this report for Intrepid as it reached end-of-life on 30 April 2010.

[Przemek K. (azrael)]

Can anyone check if this bug still appears in Ubuntu 10.10 beta? Running it from a livecd will be enough, you don't need to install it on your hard disk.
Ubuntu 10.10 uses udev and usb-modeswitch, while hal has been deprecated.

[Elvis Bortoletto (elvis-bortoletto)]

Sorry, I don't have Onda MT503HS and Vodafone K3765-Z (ZTE) anymore. Furthermore my Onda MDC502HS had an hardware failure. So I cannot perform any check!

This seems fixed in 10.10.

I picked a MF662 a few months ago when I unsuccessfully tried to get a MF622 working on Lucid. But the reception on the MF662 is terrible compared to the MF622 (and the antenna connector is wired only for GSM), so today I decided to take another shot. I plugged the MF622 and booted up; it was recognized properly and KDE's network manager automatically established my already setup connection.

Unplugging and plugging back in also works, any times in any port:

Dec 23 21:54:49 server usb_modeswitch: switching 19d2:2000 (Qualcomm, Incorporated: USB ZTE Storage)
Dec 23 21:55:18 server kernel: [ 2985.540194] usb 6-1: USB disconnect, address 4
Dec 23 21:55:23 server kernel: [ 2990.821315] usb 6-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
Dec 23 21:55:23 server kernel: [ 2990.993420] option 6-1:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected

Though as you can see it takes around 30 secs for usb_modeswitch to do it's trick, and another 30 until it appears in the network manager, but this was the same with the MF662.

Curiously, lsusb reports the device as " ID 19d2:2000 ONDA Communication S.p.A. ZTE MF627/MF628/MF628+ HSDPA" before usb_modeswitch, and as "ID 19d2:0001 ONDA Communication S.p.A." after, but who cares, it works! ;)
