GT-P5113 + ZTE (MF180S) ~ SUCCESS =)

Post by Michael J » 17 Nov 2012, 23:33

Hi
First I wanna thank you for your brilliant efforts! truly this tool is awesome!
but unfortunately I've a very weird error here :?

I've a GT-P5113 tablet and trying to get it connected to ZTE HSDPA stick over OTG cable,

- at first, it told me that "no drivers found"

- then I checked your sticky topic about those additional drivers, and downloaded my tab package, things changed .. now it can recognize my tab but unfortunately "Port wasn't found" error came up! :(

- I've read many requests on this forum and came up with some "diagnostic" tests trying to know what's wrong here :

1- when I checked my /dev/ folder, I couldn't find the "ttyUSB0" file!! all files are just "tty xx" !
2- when I tried to "insmod" package files, I got an error: (Exec format error)

3- I noticed that the usb_wwan.ko packages was "kernel specific" .. I checked my kernel version and it was:
3.0.8-814538-user, can this difference cause all this headache?

Is there any hope with this ? :S
Thanks in advance...


-- EDIT --
when I did (dmesg) on (usb_wwan.ko) I found some good info here "apart from alot of chunk"
.
.
.
usb_wwan: version magic '3.0.15 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 p2v8' should be '3.0.8-814538-user SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 p2v8 '

usb_wwan: version magic '3.0.8-911625-user SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 p2v8' should be '3.0.8-814538-user SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 p2v8 '

Yes, the kernel name has to match.

I have found the possible names by googling; the "3.0.8-911625-user" seemed to be the one from the current update. Of course there are some around with a lower number.

Are you sure your OS version is up-to-date?

Anyway, I have added modules matching your kernel name.

It's a bit stupid really - just changing the SUBVERSION string in the Makefile and recompile. One of these days I'll try to make the change in the modules with a hex editor ...
