Huawei internet dongle not working in El Capitan

I have the same problem. It does not work with Huawei latest HiLink driver for Mac 10.11 and with Huawei E3531!

Is there someone, who knows a work around for the E3531 USB stick?

Hello Jogger67,

review first page of this discussion, your answer is there, thanks to Felippe30!

Hello ikharat,

unfortunately this won't work.

I've already tried to do it, as Felippe30 has written. But even after csrutil disable, installing the software etc. the interface won't be configured.

Is there anyone who has got the same Huawei USB stick E3531-s2 and was able to use it under El Capitan?

Hi Felippe30, thank you for your help in this regard. My dongle only works while the csrutil in disabled, as soon as I enable it again the dongle can't initialise. Is it OK to go on working on my mac with csrutil disabled all the time?

For Huawei modem download Mobile Partner for Mac 10.11 from http://consumer.huawei.com/za/support/search/index.htm?keywords=mac

It worked for my old E367 modem. Please let know.

Hello to all;

I have a k5150 and after downloading the latest versions of the Vodafone operator and manufacturer Huawei, nothing works.

Before each test, I have carefully uninstalled any previous installation and also disabled csrutill.

If I try to create a connection manually, there is no modem to select. (System Preferences, Network)

My conclusion is that the drivers are not recognized and the system does not identify the Modem. 😢

I wonder if this happens to others.

I have the same issue with Huawei E3531. The lastest HiLink driver from Huawei for Mac 10.11 does not work for me, the interface won't be configured anymore. I've asked Huawei to fix it, but don't get a useful reply yet. :-(

Thanks for the link Adam! Mobile Partner works perfectly, however I have a different software (Elisa E-Partner) on my mobile modem, which is impossible to install after upgrading to El Capitan. Hence every time I insert my modem an app installation window pops up. I wonder how to force it not to show up, since I dont need it anymore?

Dear Angeload,

I use the same E303, MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) with Mac OS 10.11.1 (15B42). Unfortunately i could not get it worked for me, even with its upgraded hilink s/w. Could you please share how did you configure the same to get it worked fine for you. Thank you.

Dear sitharnorbu,

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) with El Capitan 10.11.1. I just followed the steps indicated in the README file:

1. Start computer in recovery (cmd +R during startup)

2. Then after system started go to terminal and enter csrutil disable.

3. Restart computer and install software from Huawei

4. Insert modem and test the connection

5. Restart computer again in recovery mode and now enter in terminal csrutil enable.

6. Restart again and it's done!

I hope this will help you.

I was having the same problem since I updated to El Capitan. The problem is the former driver software is not supported in El Capitan. Here is a another update Try this http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=54976

It works for me.

I upgraded to EL Capitan and the Huwawei E1752 HSPA USB dongle stopped working.

Disabling csrutil worked for me.

Much appreciated.

Steps I used

1. Restarted in Recovery mode (CMD+R while restarting).
2. From Terminal typed: csrutil disable
3. Restarted.
4. Removed existing installation of my dashboard (8.ta) [trashed it]
5. Reinstalled dashboard from USB dongle.
6. Success!

NO NEED TO DO "csrutil". SOLVED.

Dongle: E1552 on Maxis Mobile

Method:

1. Uninstall old Maxis broadband (Mobile Connect) -> Go to Applicatioins, right click on Maxis broadband (or old Mobile Connect) -> Send to Trash -> Empty Trash
2. Browse to http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=54976&version=17 4669&siteCode=worldwide&view=true
3. Download Stick Mobile Partner (for MAC10.11)
4. Extract the zip file and run the iso installer
5. Apple will prompt installer cannot run due to restrictions bla bla bla -> click OK/Cancel
6. Right Click on Mobile Partner installer icon and click Open, This will prompt the same but with Open and Cancel option -> click Open
7. Follow the installer instruction. Enter Mac user password when prompted. Click finished when done.
8. Launch Mobile Partner app. The previous settings are already preconfigured (not sure how it detects)
9. Test connectivity. Done.

This is how I did it without to use CSRUTIL command. The Mobile Partner is not for my dongle but I believe as long as the Mobile Partner runs, it will detect your dongle.

Cheers and Happy holiday

It's worked for me! Thank you 🙂

This totally fixed my issue ... thanks so much, Felippe30!
