Lenovo S10-3T: Adding 3G

[ranns]

start from here:

BIOS have lock VID/PID.

1. Ericsson F3607gw: 0BDB_1905, 0BDB_1907
2. Huawei EM770/770U/770W: 12D1_1003, 12D1_1001, 12D1_1404
3. Qualcomm GOBI: 05C6_9204, 05C6_9205
4. Huawei EM660: 12D1_1001 12D1_1404

then by understanding the guide here and using the hs2300 info from here, I was able to replace one of the Huawei's VID/PID (12D1_1003) with HS 2300's VID/PID (03F0_1E1D).

I didn't mess with the SUBSYS anymore. Be aware though that the IDs are grouped and mirrored in hexadecimal so you should look for D112 0310 and replace it with F003 1D1E

Be very careful though since incorrect editing might result in catastrophic situation (frying your BIOS). What I've posted is just a guide on what I did and doesn't guarantee that it will work the same on your unit. As I said in my OP, I took a gamble and fortunately it paid off.

Sweet so the byte order is reversed, no problem. This was exactly the info I was missing to get this done, Thank You very much.

Did you use the drivers from HP?

[ranns]

yes but you need to extract it and update the devices manually. there seems to be an order on how to update the unknown devices. you need to start from the bottom going up and updating the network modem last, otherwise it will give you an error.

The modems just arrived. PM me if interested
