Huawei internet dongle not working in El Capitan

My friend updated to EL Capitan yesterday (1st Oct) to the official release version of El Capitan. He uses an Internet Dongle/fob/adapter (that connects to a cellular network) to connect to the internet.


He had no issues with it while using it in Yosemite, but after the update to El Capitan it is not working.


I have checked the Internet dongle with other computers and it works fine. therefore I believe the issue may be with Java thats running on OS X 10.11


The internet dongle being used is a Huawei E173. It is working on a 3G GSM network in Sri Lanka (Dialog Axiata).


Any workaround this would be great.

Ok. I found workaround.

First we must start computer in recovery ( cmd +R during startup). Then after system started go to terminal and enter csrutil disable.

After tehat restart computer and install software from Huawei ( i have unbranded Mobile Partner) and then insert modem. Now it's starts and you can use internet as usually.

Restart computer after that and again start in recovery mode and now enter in terminal csrutil enable.

Reboot again and you can use El Capitan 🙂.

csrutil stands as System Integrity Protection. More info you can found here https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/Security/Concep tual/System_Integrity_Protection_Guide/ConfiguringSystemIntegrityProtection/Conf iguringSystemIntegrityProtection.html

The first installation must be done with csrutil disable. Prior to this please remove all files with huawei in name in System/Extensions and Library/System/Extensions . Please also delete Mobile Partner or other application related to your modem.

Delete also all files realted to huawei from ~/Library/LaunchAgents and Library/LaunchAgents.

Then install software from your vendor or i can post here installation file which came from Huawei (Mobile Partner).
