hi all,
i am using Raspbian Jessie on Rpi3 and a USB hub.
i have downloaded sakis3g and i use the switch modem to change the stick to a 3g stick.
Now it shows as Bus 001 Device 012: ID 12d1:1c05 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E173s 3G broadband stick (modem on)
when i try to connect with sakis it gives me an error:
Modem responded "ERROR" while checking for PIN.
I also defined the pin code in /etc.sakis3g.conf but still the same error.
I followed all guides found on the internet for switching the modem but its always the same result.
The debug output from sakis is :
[07247] [07:26:46] Modem did not report a name.
[07247] [07:26:46] Unknown command "STAGE1".
[07247] [07:26:46] Using default PINCHECK.
[07247] [07:26:46] Command "PINCHECK" refers to AT commands: 'AT+CPIN?' OK
[07247] [07:26:46] Will send PINCHECK commands to tty /dev/ttyUSB0: "" '\pAT' OK 'AT+CPIN?' OK '\pAT' OK
[07247] [07:26:46] We are root already. Proceeding.
[07247] [07:26:46] Device /dev/ttyUSB0 is not busy.
[07247] [07:26:48] Got response from tty:
[07247] [07:26:48] Got "ERROR" while checking modem on /dev/ttyUSB0 for PIN requirement.
[07247] [07:26:48] Error: Modem responded "ERROR" while checking for PIN.
[07247] [07:26:59] Error: Failed to connect.
Strange fact is when i dont use the hub it doesnt work at all probably because of lack of power.
Note: It used to work fine on Rasbian Wheezy.
any tips?
