Sim Missing Error - Huawei Embedded Modem(Model ME906s-158)












1














I have a Lenovo thinkpad x260 with a Huawei Embedded Modem(Model ME906s-158). I've been using it with debian 9 sucessfully. Had need to move to Debian 10. Since the move, it stopped working. Tried a fresh install of Debian 9 but i can't still use the modem.



I keep seeing "Modem couldn't be initialized: Couldn't check unlock status: SIM not inserted" when i check the logs of ModemManager. I am also so certain that there is a sim in the sim tray and it works on my mobile phone.
