    Vodafone logo squareA Huawei / Vodafone K3765-HV mobile broadband modem USB stick is easily installed on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Just use the following work around to get your Huawei / Vodafone K3765-HV running on Yosemite. If you also have a Windows 8 / 8.1 PC, you install it following the Windows 8 / 8.1 instructions. I have already posted instruction for installing K3765 on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Update: Installing Huawei E3372 On macOS 10.12 Sierra works also for Huawei / Vodafone K3765-HV.

    Finally, if the Huawei / Vodafone K3765-HV is unlocked and voice functions are enabled, this modem USB stick is utilizable as a GSM Gateway on FRITZ!Box models which are capable for mobile broadband modem USB sticks, e.g. on a FRITZ!Box 7390.

    I conducted the installation with the following set up:

    • MacBook Pro 13” Retina End 2013.
    • Huawei / Vodafone K3765-HV modem USB stick (Hardware version  CD25TCPV, Chipset Qualcomm MSM6290, 7.2 Mbit/s via HSDPA, 5.75 Mbit/s via HSUPA) with micro SD slot for up to 8 GB and a hidden connector for external antenna (Specifications Huawei / Vodafone K3765-HV):
    • Huawei Mobile Connect Driver for Mac, update for MacBook air (MobileConnectDriver for Mac Book Air 2013, 2013-08-31, software version 4.25.45.00)
    • Notes:
      • For software updates click here and search for ‘Mac‘.
      • Mobile Partner for Mac OS X 10.9 is NOT working on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite beta 5. Therefor, I describe an alternative way to connect the K3765 without the Mobile Partner software.

    The work around on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite is as follows:

    1. Download and install Huawei Mobile Connect Driver for Mac 4.25.45.00: [wpfilebase tag=”file” id=4 /]

    2. Insert the SIM-card into your K3765-HV, connect it to your Mac and skip installation of Vodafone Mobile Broadband software.
    3. Open ‘System Preferences‘ and select ‘Network‘. Click on ‘+‘ and create a new service. Select ‘HUAWEIMobile-‘ (NOT ‘HUAWEIMobile’!) and click on ‘Create‘.

    Note: Every time you plug the Huawei / Vodafone K3765-HV to your Mac again, installation of Vodafone Mobile Broadband software is prompted. Just ignored it and skip it.

    Connecting Vodafone K3765 Yosemite: 1. Plug K3765 in. 2. Open 'Network' in 'System Preferences'. 3. Close 'Vodafone Mobile Broadband' window, when prompted. 4. Click on 'Connect'. Connecting Vodafone K3765 Yosemite.

        Hi Barnabas,

        did try exactly the instruction in this post? If not, try it.

        If you got a network error, the K3765 could be out of order. Does it work on other systems, e.g. on a Windows PC?

        Cheers,

      When I try to add the HUAWEIMobile- connection it automatically chooses a bluetooth pan interface. Other possible interfaces are WIFI, Ethernet and Firewire. How do I change this?
      Thanks for answering.
