   I have a K3765-Z, which led me to think that your solution could be good for me. It’s not (Mobile Partner isn’t even starting usually, but when it does it doesn’t recognise any device).
   I tried again with the Vodafone Mobile Broadband, but the fact that it was keeping on “forgetting” the configuration let me to run it in sudo mode, typing in Terminal:

   $ sudo /Applications/Vodafone\ Mobile\ Broadband.app/Contents/MacOS/Vodafone\ Mobile\ Broadband

   (for some reason, it hangs if ran in background)

   In this mode, the application ran as before (with all the other connections too, something that didn’t appear before).

   Looks like the application isn’t getting enough privileges to read/write some files (configs?).

   Hope it helps

     Hi Marco,

     K3765-Z is not made by Huawei, it is made by ZTE. This is the reason why Mobile Partner software by Huawei is not working. Check the Mac driver for it here:

     Let us know your findings!

     Cheers,

       Think you for the reference! You’re correct, it’s from zte, I got confused with another one I had, which came with the Vodafone station. Same shape, but different Hw (can’t remember which model it was).

       Today I used some more time for tests, but I couldn’t find a solution (apart from starting vmb manually from terminal).

       Tomorrow I’ll test with the zte software! Thanks 🙂

           Hi Loic,

           go to system preferences, security and change the settings to allow installation of apps not downloaded from the App Store.

           Cheers,

             Hello,
             I’ve tried as you said.
             Unfortunately I got the same message. It says that the mobile partner is damaged when I click on it…
             I installed the driver already. But the mobile connect doesn’t want to run…
             Thanks.

               Hi Loic,

               try to download it again from here:
               http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/index.htm
               and search for ‘Mac’.

               Cheers,

                 Because it didn’t work (not able to install the software) I finally found that post on internet.
                 This worked for me.
                 I also added the informations of my provider in the modem part in “advanced settings”.

                 Regards,
                 Loic

   There is a simpler, boring way to do it from Network Preferences if you have the driver /System/Library/Extensions/HauweiDataCardDriver.kext in place.

   Plug in the Dongle, don’t install anything.

   In Network Preferences, remove any ‘Huawei’ failed connections, then –

   * Add a New Connection > Interface: ‘HuaweiModem…’ or similar > Service Name: anything you like > Create

   * Select Advanced > Modem > Vendor: Generic > Model : GPRS (GSM/3G) >APN: vfintenet.au (in Australia, try your country ext instead of AU ) > CID: 1 > OK

   * Configuration: Default > Tel. Number: *99# > Apply > Tick (Show Modem Status) > Connect

   Good Luck
