In 18.04 I was able to configure the modem properly using following
steps:

Step 2: (only necessary, if no LTE module is detected under Step 1) Get the the
vendor and product ID of the LTE module
XXX@XXX-HP-EliteBook-840-G3:~$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID XXXX:YYYY ZZZZZZ
Bus 001 Device 006: ID XXXX:YYYY ZZZZZZ
Bus 001 Device 005: ID XXXX:YYYY ZZZZZZ
Bus 001 Device 007: ID XXXX:YYYY ZZZZZZ
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:9d1d Hewlett-Packard
Bus 001 Device 001: ID XXXX:YYYY ZZZZZZ
Step 3: (only necessary, if no LTE module is detected under Step 1) Create a
specific udev rules file (e.g., 99-hp-lt4120.rules) under /etc/udev/rules.d/
ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="mbim_to_qmi_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="usb|drivers", GOTO="mbim_to_qmi_rules_end"
# force HP lt4120 to configuration #1
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
ATTR{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTR{idProduct}=="9d1d", \
ATTR{bConfigurationValue}="1"
# load qmi_wwan module
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
ATTR{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTR{idProduct}=="9d1d", \
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -b qmi_wwan"
# add the new id in the qmi_wwan driver
SUBSYSTEM=="drivers", \
ENV{DEVPATH}=="/sys/bus/usb/drivers/qmi_wwan", \
ATTR{new_id}="03f0 9d1d"
# load qcserial module
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
ATTR{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTR{idProduct}=="9d1d", \
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -b qcserial"
# add the new id in the qcserial driver
SUBSYSTEM=="drivers", \
ENV{DEVPATH}=="/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/qcserial", \
ATTR{new_id}="03f0 9d1d"
LABEL="mbim_to_qmi_rules_end"
Step 3: (only necessary, if no LTE module is detected under Step 1)
Power off and reboot. Now the LTE module should be visible in the
NetworkManager as "disabled".
Step 4: (only necessary, if the "Status" (see Step 1) of the LTE module
is not connected) Check if the LTE module can be enabled and connected
XXX@XXX-HP-EliteBook-840-G3:~$ sudo mmcli -m 0 --enable
successfully enabled the modem
XXX@XXX-HP-EliteBook-840-G3:~$sudo mmcli -m 0 --simple-connect="pin=XXXX"
successfully connected the modem
Step 5: Create a connection for your specific provider (see
https://docs.ubuntu.com/core/en/stacks/network/network-manager/docs
/configure-cellular-connections for further details)
e.g., for provider "HOT" in Austria
XXX@XXX-HP-EliteBook-840-G3:~$ nmcli c add type gsm ifname cdc-wdm0 con-name
HOT apn webaut
XXX@XXX-HP-EliteBook-840-G3:~$ nmcli r wwan on
Step 6: (If needed) disable auto-connection
XXX@XXX-HP-EliteBook-840-G3:~$ nmcli c modify HOT autoconnect no
XXX@XXX-HP-EliteBook-840-G3:~$ nmcli c down HOT
