I have been loaned a E303 modem for testing (thanks GreGorGy!).
I am stuck at this point:
I am stuck at this point:
Two new 'Huawei HiLink' devices appear in my Device Manager, but Windows cannot find drivers for them.Once you have switched to to serial mode using http://192.168.1.1/html/switchProjectMode.html and there are no compatibles drivers for the device, it will probably appear in your device manager as an unknown device under Other devices.
Don't worry about bricking the modem, it seems the http://192.168.1.1/html/switchProjectMode.html switch is not permanent. As rmage wrote above, as soon as you unplug the modem it reverts to HiLink mode.At this point, no resources will be assigned to the device, so you will not know what COM port to use to address the modem. Without being able to address the COM port of the modem, it will not be possible to switch it back to HiLink mode in Windows, effectively bricking the modem, unless u have access to a Linux box to recover the modem back to HiLink mode.
