Huawei E3231 - new model
The install id for the stick is
12d1:1f01 and you may see that in dmesg before usb_modeswitch switches it over to
12d1:14db.
Your lsusb shows a typical
HiLink device in ethernet mode where it needs ethernet drivers which creates an additional eth device in your OS.
You can try and edit the /etc/usb_modeswitch.d config file for
12d1:1f01 and change the message contents to:
replug the stick and check with lsusb if it gets a different modem id this time.
If so, then paste the lsusb -v -d for 12d1:new id
With some luck it may become
12d1:1c05 with serial modem interfaces.
-------------
lsusb now gives a new modem id 0x1442
Code:
lsusb-v -d 12d1:1442
-------------
ok, can you then include
12d1:1441 as well?
Code:
usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1f01
-M "55534243123456780000000000000011062000000000000200000000000000"

it is the same device as 12d1:14db but using another of Microsoft sniffed messages, it basically
adds 3 serial interfacesto the already present ecm interfaces and changes the PID.
Code:
usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1f01 -V 0x12d1 -P 0x14db
-M "55534243123456780000000000000a11062000000000000100000000000000"

This is how a real
12d1:1c05 should look:
PHP Code:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{modalias}=="usb:v12D1p1C05*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="00", ATTRS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="ff", NAME="ttyUSB_utps_modem"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{modalias}=="usb:v12D1p1C05*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="01", ATTRS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="ff", NAME="ttyUSB_utps_diag"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{modalias}=="usb:v12D1p1C05*", KERNEL=="ttyUSB*", ATTRS{bInterfaceNumber}=="02", ATTRS{bInterfaceProtocol}=="ff", NAME="ttyUSB_utps_pcui"
Return the stick to
HiLink mode (
12d1:1f01) and try the alternative modeswitch message which with a bit of luck will give the target id
12d1:1001
----------------
Yippee!
Code:
[ 4029.552484] option 2-4:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
[ 4029.553620] usb 2-4: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0

then using the command to return to HiLink mode
gives the following (after unplugging & replugging the dongle)

It actually appears in network manager and everything!
Not tested for data access yet though, but at least it appears to be revived!
