and if I want switch mode with command:

Code: Select all

sb_modeswitch -v 19d2 -p 1405 -K
I receive

Code: Select all

Look for default devices ...
 Found devices in default mode (2)
Access device 018 on bus 001
Get the current device configuration ...
Current configuration number is 1
Use interface number 0
 with class 2
Error: can't use storage command in MessageContent with interface 0; interface class is 2, expected 8. Abort


Please help me Guys! Thanks in advance!

Re: UZB Modem ZTE MF667don't want switch to modem mode

The problem is that the modem was already switched. The "lsusb" output shows that it is in modem mode.

However, the modem mode is 'ethernet' instead of 'serial'. You will not get any ttyUSB ports with this modem by mode-switching.

The correct driver was loaded as your log shows:

Code: Select all

[80684.062736] cdc_ether 1-14:1.0 eth0: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-0000:00:14.0-14,
  ZTE CDC Ethernet Device, 00:a0:c6:00:00:00
You have to use this modem like a network interface, with dhcp initialization.


Edit: I found this page when googling. I don't know if it works with your model. You might screw up your modem if you try this, so it is up to you to take the risk.

  ZTE CDC Ethernet Device, 00:a0:c6:00:00:00
You have to use this modem like a network interface, with dhcp initialization.


Edit: I found this page when googling. I don't know if it works with your model. You might screw up your modem if you try this, so it is up to you to take the risk.

In that above link has preliminary sulotion as:

Code: Select all

echo “19d2 0016” > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
but I receive error:

Code: Select all

bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
And here https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... d-argument explain next:
“Write error: Invalid argument” means that the write method of the driver returns EINVAL. The most likely explanation is that this driver doesn't have a write method at all. It is fairly routine for drivers not to support certain actions, e.g. some drivers only support ioctl and not read/write, some drivers are intrinsically unidirectional (e.g. an input device) and only support read and not write or vice versa.

“Invalid argument” has nothing to do with permissions, it's what the device is able to do. You'd get a permission error if you didn't have write permission, but you do have permission to talk to the driver. It's just that what you're asking the driver to do is something that it has no concept of.
In fact, I use "Gammu" as an SMS gateway and That in turn does not work with network devices. Therefore, I will have to switch to modem mode to use the serial ports of ttyUSB*
