Hello boss,
I had the same issue with my MTN Huawei 160 failing to read on ubuntu giving
same error. i have been following how colleagues have been advsing and trying
those commands as i follow the forum links they post but you will need a faster
internet connection cs its bandwidth intense cs i had to pay for the outage
caused at Web City Cafe today while it upgrades
i have used the follwing commands to my success..
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
Good luck...u cant just give up like that, its caused by incomplete updates
None of us is as smart as all of us

So did you try with the AT command Rocco advised?
This worked for somebody.
