How to turn a ZTE MF831 into a dumb serial modem

Update and warning:

This article was written for the austrian version of the ZTE MF 831 back in October 2015. It is probably outdated by now. Most of the information contained herein and in the comments stems from my own and other user’s findings, 4pda.ru, draisberghof.info, archlinux and various other sources. I still own two ZTE MF831, which I regularly use. I used to have them in modem mode and are now using both in CDC mode. I can affirm, that switching modes -back and forth- works for these two models (Sw. WEB_HOFAUTMF831V1.0.0B02, Fw. BD_HOFATMF831V1.0.0B02, Hw. MF831-1.0.0).

Nevertheless, if you are not experienced in Android ADB, Linux, networking principles, terminal commands (AT/Hayes), you better restrain from reading on. You should really should be an expert in all that, if you decide to continue at your own risk.

Why that warning?

In the recent years I received some comments from people, some posts contained constructive feedback and experiences for which I am grateful. Comments of all that kind correspond to the way, a community works and are highly appreciated in order to improve a ‘howto’ like this.

Today (June, 9th 2019) I received quite the opposite: A posting, that contained mere hate speech, and menace against my family and me, blaming me for advising to send back a device, that up to my experience, was a defective in the first place.

I’d therefore like to repeat, that the mode switching commands are implemented by the manufacturer, ZTE himself. (The device’s OS is Android; mode switching by sending a HTTP request, simply invokes an AT command server and disables networking capabilities on USB; likewise, corresponding AT commands revert that). These command lists can be found at several places on the net, and they even work on various other ZTE models, but with variations, that you need to do research on. The commands used here partially even had been previously published by ZTE Australia and were republished in 2012 and relinked e.g. at http://www.3g-modem-wiki.com/page/ZTE+AT-commands, but after several website redesigns at ZTE, the manual is no longer available at the referenced link. Check they wayback archive at your convenience: https://web.archive.org/web/20091006172214/http://www.zte.com.au/downloads/USB_Modem_Config_Procedure.pdf. At no point in the main article did I describe any alteration of the firmware, unless for naming the possibility of firmware recovery, which relies on firmware, that the manufacturer published officially through it’s distributor back in the year 2014.

Until today, I received one report of one completely unresponsive MF831, which is most probably caused by a defective flash chip – and another similar experience, where a modeswitch never even has been tried:

A brand new MF831 my employer had used at home, got defective after two weeks in service in combination with an original TP-Link MR3240. The replacement LTE stick -also a MF831- is in service until today.

Mts Connect Manager 4pda Mf30

I also had two other defective MF831, but the problem I encountered with both, was a mere mechanical defect: A ‘triple sim card’ (nano, micro, mini) got loose somehow and it’s adapting frame and got entangled with pin 5 when I tried to exchange the sim card. That resulted -and that’s at no surprise either- in an ‘unavailabe network’ message.

What I have published then, back in 2014, was to the best of my knowledge and belief and represents the steps I did, that worked for me repeatedly.

I, personally, think the modeswitch, that is undocumented in the users manual, but well known among router programmers, is safe to use on the devices I’ve tested. A risk still remains – you have been warned.

Your alternatives are:

a. OpenWRT nowadays works like a charm with USB cdc devices. So, if you don’t have a contract with a public IP and you don’t need port forwarding – simply use the stick in it’s default mode and stop reading.

b. Get a professional LTE routing equipment, that costs far more than the MF831’s lousy 25 Euros , if it’s still in stock. It’s successor, the MF833V will be sold for as low as 29,99 Euros starting next week…

Mts Connect Manager 4pda Mf30 Android

c. Get another device, that is configured/flashed to use serial mode by default.

So, dear readers – you, once more, have been warned not to read on.

If you decided otherwise, here is the original article:

Background story:
Recently the austrian discounter Hofer started to sell equipment capable of LTE and bundled it with SIM cards of it’s MNVO HoT (Hofer Telekom).

Among those items is a relatively cheap LTE class 4 modem – the ZTE MF831.
Optically it is unbranded, but it seems to contain a firmware optimized for HoT.

If you put in the SIM card, wait until it’s activated and charge the account with a minimum of 10 Euros, you can book the option “HoT data LTE”, which will allow you to use up to 3GB of data within a period of 30 days at speeds up to 50 Mbit/s (download) and 10 Mbit/s (upload).

First tests show, that these maximum values are close to reality. My meassurements showed values from around 34/5 Mbit/s up to 50/9 Mbit/s (indoor ) in Vienna using ‘RTR Netztest’. That’s good enough to prepare some tests with OpenWRT, OpenVPN and the ZTE MF831, but there’s a caveat:

About USB-Ethernet, NAT, NAT trunks, colliding address space, …
When you use the MF 831 on a laptop, it makes sense to use the USB-Ethernet mode. The stick presents itself to it as a dhcp+nat router, that is listening on it’s IPv4 RFC1918 address 192.168.0.1.

Unfortunately that Ethernet NAT mode has some drawbacks:
You cannot reconfigure the network address or netmask, nor the DHCP range.
You already have a NAT trunk setup with most mobile internet providers in Austria (this contradicts principles of network neutrality).
As far as I know, you can apply for a non RFC1918 IPv4 address only when using VOLmobil (an MNVO@TMA; costs: +8 Euros/month) or within the network of Hutchison Drei with product except the ‘Initiative 100%’. There it’s called ‘Open Internet’ and can be configured without additional costs from within the ‘Kundenzone’.
Furthermore, since most gateways from austrian mobile network providers are unpingable, there is some risk, that IPv6 tunnels and other tunnels may fail due to problems with PMTU discovery. It seems, that the MF831 NAT router mode does not respect this issue. It’s LAN MTU is 1500, but pings over 1456 bytes payload will fail on their way.
There are probably even more issues.
But there is light at the horizon:

Solution: Dumb serial modem (emulation) mode

If you could convince the MF831 to behave like a simple modem, your OpenWRT router or linux computer can then take care of dialing in. This way you eliminate one NAT layer and use your public ip address, if available, port forwards and such things, that were previously unusable.

I found this ArchLinux Howto for the MF831’s predecessor, the MF823:

This howto describes how to use the MF823 as a serial modem device, how to switch modes and more.
If you keep some things in mind, it will work for the MF831, too:

Please understand, that switching the modem mode will render the webinterface unusable until you revert the changes. Unplugging and replugging will NOT undo the changes made, so be careful.
I’ll describe this reversal procedure later.

Preparations:
I assume, that you are running Linux.
Connect the modem to one of your computers’ USB port.
The modem is preconfigured to automatically connect to the network. In serial mode this causes the access to it to be blocked. So

  1. First step (important!): deactive auto connect:
    1. Go to http://192.168.0.1
    2. click on ‘Home’
    3. click ‘Disconnect’ or ‘Trennen’
    4. click ‘Settings’ or ‘Einstellungen’
    5. click ‘Network settings’ or ‘Netzwerkeinstellungen’
    6. click ‘Dial-up settings’ or ‘Einwahleinstellungen’
    7. click the radio button labeled ‘Manual’ or ‘Manuell’
    8. leave all other settings as they are.
  2. Put the MF831 into download mode:
    Caution: You will NOT be able to access the modem through it’s web interface after that!!!
    1. Call http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_process?goformId=MODE_SWITCH&switchCmd=FACTORYfrom your web browser.
      The modems led will turn red and go back to green or blue after approximately 20 seconds.
    2. Check, if the modem was detected –
      1. if everything worked as expected
        1. dmesg will say something like
          [15337.497593] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 21 using ehci-pci
          [15337.628188] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=19d2, idProduct=0016
          [15337.628196] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
          [15337.628200] usb 1-1.2: Product: ZTE Wireless Ethernet Adapter
          [15337.628203] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: ZTE,Incorporated
          [15337.640979] option 1-1.2:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
          [15337.641170] usb 1-1.2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0
          [15337.641400] option 1-1.2:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
          [15337.641543] usb 1-1.2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1
          [15337.641831] option 1-1.2:1.2: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
          [15337.642222] usb 1-1.2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2
        2. ls -la /dev/ttyUSB* will list those three devices.
        3. lsusb will list ID 19d2:0016 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM
        4. NetworkManager will mislead you by listing the device as ‘ZTE Wireless Ethernet Adapter’, but you can configure it with profiles like any other serial modem.
      2. if it did not work:
        1. It may be still in Ethernet mode:
          1. lsusb’s output is something else than 19d2:0016, e.g. 19d2:1405 or 19d2:1403.
          2. the modem is then still pingable at 192.168.0.1
          3. dmesg will list cdc-ether in some way.
            In these cases: try again from step 2 above.
        2. The drivers are not detected:
          1. lsusb shows 19d2:0016
          2. There are no devices: /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, /dev/ttyUSB2
          3. Solution: su – / sudo su and
            echo “19d2 0016” > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
            (Remark: Make sure, those ‘”‘ are straight double quotes on your linux console)
            1. dmesg should now output something like in 2.1.1 – everthing is alright.
            2. you may want to consider to put that echo line in /etc/rc.local (just before the line “exit 0”) or to upgrade your kernel.
    3. Reverting back to Ethernet mode
      If you do not need the serial mode any longer or in the case something went wrong (e.g. you are getting ‘ressource unavailable’ messages on connecting to the serial modem – reason: you forgot step 1.6.) you can revert the above:
      1. Disconnect any session that’s accessing /dev/ttyUSB1 or /dev/ttyUSB2
        1. Open gtkserial or another serial terminal (or simply echo the following AT commands to /dev/ttyUSB2)
          R
          emark 1: on debian you with gtkserial you need to be in group ‘dialout’,
          Remark 2: Make sure Modem Manager does not block /dev/ttyUSB2: service ModemManager stop

          Remark 3: If you don’t see your input within the terminal, turn on local echo.

          ATZ
          AT&F
          AT+ZCDRUN=9
          AT+ZCDRUN=F

        2. Disconnect the modem from usb, wait, reconnect it
        3. lsusb will then first show the 19d2:1225 (mass storage device) and will later modeswitch to device 19d2:1405.

The device is now back in ethernet mode.

I’ll continue this blog entry as soon as I have a spare USB-capable wifi router running OpenWRT. I guess I can replace my TP-Link MA260 1:1 with the new LTE stick. We’ll see…

Update:
On OpenWRT Chaos Calmer 15.05 (TL-WR1043NDv2) I needed to modify /etc/rc.local like mentioned above. Otherwise the “generic” driver would have been used, which only provides the diagnostic interface /dev/ttyUSB0. It won’t work that way – you need the driver named “option1”. After modifying and rebooting it works out of the box with /dev/ttyUSB2, service type any.

Update 2: I just had the case, where an MF831 entered the “real” download mode after a number of resets (that a script initiated). USBIDs are 19d2:0076 (vendor:device). I’ll report on this.

Have fun!

Update (Drivers): If you are encountering problems with your MF831 on Windows 10 after mode switching, you probably need the correct drivers. Since the the device is using RNDIS, serial drivers are not included. It turns out, that drivers for the MF192 will do fine. I found some Windows 8 modem drivers on the ZTE Australia Pty Ltd’s website: http://www.ztemobiles.com.au/downloads/software/Win8_Modem_Drivers.zip
You need to unzip them and run the setup routine. If it still does not work, you may need to call windows’ device manager, go into the “ZTE Ethernet …” properties. Click “update drivers”, and let Windows look for the drivers automatically. Do these steps for each of the three devices. Afterwards you can speak to your modem through Putty on either COM4, COM5 or similar.

[A little update on available modes and how to switch:]

The following URLs can be called, when the modem is pingable at it’s default IP address 192.168.0.1. If the switched mode doesn’t leave the modem in a pingable state, the method to revert to CDC mode is described below.

  • MODEM mode:
    http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_set_cmd_process?goformId=USB_MODE_SWITCH&usb_mode=0
    results in 19d2:0016 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM
    pingable: no
    revert to CDC: Step 3.2 in this article
  • Unknown mode 19d2:2004:
    http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_set_cmd_process?goformId=USB_MODE_SWITCH&usb_mode=2
    results in 19d2:2004 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM
    pingable:no
    revert to 1225,1405: unplug and replug
  • RNDIS mode:

    quite the same with http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_set_cmd_process?goformId=USB_MODE_SWITCH&usb_mode=4
  • CDC mode:
    http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_set_cmd_process?goformId=USB_MODE_SWITCH&usb_mode=5
    results in 19d2:1405 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM (cdc)

  • Unknown mode 19d2:1244
    http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_set_cmd_process?goformId=USB_MODE_SWITCH&usb_mode=7
    results in 19d2:1244 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM

    revert to 1225,1405: unplug and replug
  • QMI mode:
    http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_set_cmd_process?goformId=USB_MODE_SWITCH&usb_mode=8
    results in 19d2:1402 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM
    pingable:no
    revert to 1225,1405: unplug and replug

Again, the russian forum 4pda (спасибо, друзья!) has some more information on available modes for the similar MF823 and MF830 modems. See here: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=555876&st=1400

Let me repeat that translated and corrected info for your convenience:

Base URL is http://192.168.0.1/goform/goform_set_cmd_process?goformId=USB_MODE_SWITCH&usb_mode=N

N can be one of the following values:

0 – PID = 0016: ZTE download mode. Corresponds to AT+ZCDRUN=E.
1 – PID = 1225: Mass Storage Device (MSD), corresponds to AT+ZCDRUN=9 in combination with AT+ZCDRUN=F.
2 – PID = 2004: Unclear: similar to MSD like mode 1225 without card reader function. Probably for compatibility with other operating systems.
N=3 – PID = 1403: RNDIS + MSD. Corresponds to AT+ZCDRUN=8 in combination with AT+ZCDRUN=F.
N=4 – PID = 1403: just the same as N=3 ->19d2:1403
N=5 – PID = 1405: CDC/ECM mode instead of RNDIS.
N=6 – PID = 1404: RNDIS + diagnostic port + two COM ports + MSD + ADB interface (MF8230ZTED010000).
N=7 – PID = 1244: CDC + diagnostic port + two COM ports + MSD + ADB (MF8230ZTED010000).
N=8 – PID = 1402: diagnostic port + two COM ports + WWAN adapter + MSD + ADB (1234567890ABCDEF).
N=9 – PID = 9994: MBIM + diagnostic port + two COM ports + ADB (1234567890ABCDEF).
