HP EliteBook 830 G5

[SergeyDjam]

Hi. Would i like to know what status of EliteBook support? Can I check my laptop for modem health and how do I do it?

hey @SergeyDjam,
did you make any progress? I have an HP EliteBook 840 G5 and had no success so far. The hack of @abrasive seems not to work for HP EliteBooks (for any kind of reason), Lenovo and Dell are more promising. What are your experiences so far?

Hi @SergeyDjam , I have already compiled and load module on Elitebook 735G6. It actually works! Amazoning! Thanks a lot to @abrasive focus on this field!

Works on an EliteBook 735 G6 (9VZ68EA#ABD / Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U) with a upgraded "Fibocom L850-GL 4G LTE" wwan card.
OS: Debian-11, Linux-5.10

The EliteBook 735 G6 doesn't come with a wwan card in every variant.
For example my EliteBook 735 G6 9VZ68EA#ABD (Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U) doesn't have a wwan card.
So I upgraded it with a wwan card bought here:

Entering the sim pin seemed a little problematic.
I think I maybe have to run open_xdatachannel.py ... once before entering the pin as described here: #53 (comment)
And entering the pin via picocom or chat (Debian package ppp) seemed to work better.

 

$ picocom /dev/ttyXMM1
AT+CPIN="0000"

Use AT+CPIN? to check if a pin is needed.
Answer +CPIN: SIM PIN indicates that a pin is still needed.
Answer CPIN+: READY indicates no pin is not needed or the pin has already been entered.

 

Alternative:
chat -Ss -V -t 1 '' 'AT+CPIN?' '+CPIN: SIM PIN' 'AT+CPIN="0000"' 'OK' 'AT+CPIN?' '+CPIN: READY' > /dev/ttyXMM1 < /dev/ttyXMM1
(don't get confused, the expected answers are listed too in the chat command)

The command AT+CPIN? gives me ERROR. What it means?

Can confirm that this is working on my EliteBook 840 G8. Anyone knows how to supply credentials for the APN?
