Watch this video tutorial that i made
How to set the HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router. See this on my website. In Dutch but the video is clear.

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
Except when I try. Many many times. Done full resets, deleted all router settings, worked from scratch - but I've never ever seen the device LTE like he does in the video. Really tried to complete every step. I go utterly bonkers...
This is too hard for me. I'm not even sure how to use the terminal codes. Please webfig me to goal...
I need a usb LTE on hEX for total idiots - all necessary steps from unbox to online internet.

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
Where is it wrong?
Do you have the same USB LTE device?
You have to enter the pin code?
What is your original language.
What is the model from your Mikrotik router?
I try to help you

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
Hello friend 
Ok, my router is the hEX RB750Gr3 with latest stable build, and my usb-modem is a model E3372h-153, not operator locked.
When I do a factory reset of hEX I start in simple mode. Is there anything I should do there?
Then I have to delete the preinstalled bridge and then restart to get an empty router.
Following the video and building a bridge just like you do.
When I get to the point of adding an LTE device it is not possible. I don't have the LTE in the list, only ppp.
I do however have an LTE tab to the right in the row.
When trying ppp device I can make the device connect with the right APN settings, and get a constant turquoise LED but never get any packages.
Hope this clears my problem a bit.

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
I configured the router and paste the export here.
Do not forget to enter the pin code. and edit the DNS-server IP's. Put first the USB-dongle into the router.
You do this by double-clicking interface LT1
Activate LTE and 3G if necessary.
I hope it works now.
This code must be placed on an empty router without default configuration.
If this is done reboot the router.
Goodluck

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
Thank you for the code...but this is only a 1/10 of a solution.
I've just spent 6 hours trying to get this code into the router.
It must have been pure luck in the past but I can not connect to a router without a bridge, so for all other newbies and for the future "Dummies"-book - you must use winbox (not webfig) and connect to the neighbour MAC adress. This was probably 1 hour of frustration before i realized that. Stupid me.
Ok, made a new reset and got inside the router and wiped the configuration, rebooted, so far so good.
I really don't know much about terminals so I tried a few times to simply paste the entire code-text at the prompt. No. not possible, don't try this at home.
So how the h... do i get the code in? Googled around and found a bunch of dead ends until I found the .rsc files. Didn't know how to make an .rsc file, so I thought I could export the system .rsc and edit it and then restore from it. Tried that for a long time. a loooong time.
Ran into that "File not found (6)" bug every single time. Didn't matter if I tried from the terminal or the filesystem gui. The correctly imported file does not exist. DUH... Read something about "pause" for the system to accept the .rsc but didn't understand what to do, so ignored.
Finally found the Reset config (do not install default config checkbox) and run "filename.rsc" - method.
It did seem to work, but I couldn't see anything useful in the log about it being executed. Then suddenly there was a bridge and ports running...
So it seemed to get right this time, but still no LTE device, and I did have the LTE device plugged in the USB port at all times. Ony evidence of the modem is the greyed out ppp-out1 device. back to f'in SQUARE ONE!
You call this beginner basics?

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
Allright... Tried this morning to repeat my half baked running sequence, without luck.
#01: I manually reset the router (holding reset button while connecting power and release reset button while USR flashes, not after it's done)
#02: I connect laptop into port 2 and start winbox, login on neighbour mac-adress without password, press the OK button to close message of changelog and config. Router is now in standard config.
#03: I go to files and upload my lteconfig.rsc containing only the unedited code from the post above. File is made with notepad.
#04: I go into system, reset configuration, tick "no default configuration" and in "run after reset" I choose my lteconfig.rsc, click "Reset Configuration" and Yes in next dialog.
What happens is, Router reboots and come up empty. No configurations made. Uploaded file is also gone. Usb modem is connected in usb port at all times.
Where did it go wrong? I'm not sure I've ever got the code to stick. Router is not really accepting files at all. What must be in an .rsc file for the code to run?
Or am I just doing this all wrong?

Have you first add the LTE USB dongle?

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
I'm actually struggling with that at the moment. I can not add an LTE device no matter what I do.
The usbstick is inserted in the router and flashing turquoise.
In terminal I try to add the LTE device just as your lines with same mac-address. Nothing happens
It is not accepting this as an LTE device.

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
The mac address comes from your own USB dongle.
If you see no LTE at "interfaces", then you can reboot your router with the USB dongle plugged in.
Is it about a different model than the Huawei E3372?
If so, which brand and model

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
I'm just now finding out the problem with Hilink and Stickmode...
I have the wrong device ID. Mine is 0x1506, accepted ID is only 0x14db
Trying to change that right now. Managed to wipe it completely with a short circuit and now aiming to flash with working firmware.
We'll see how it goes

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
I can tell you... This is pretty complicated stuff (for me at least)
I think I have successfully flashed a good 6 or 7 ROMs on this little modem, and found this:
If I flash a 22.xxx Rom onto it it shows as an LTE device in the hEX, but refuse to run (never a steady led, only flashing) also Mobile partner don't work.
If I flash a 21.xxx Rom I can make it run in hEX but only as ppp, and mobile partner work as LTE as expected.
I cannot run 22.xxx ROMs. No LTE in hEX for me.
So I give up, but still want some internet to run, what is the easiest way to modify your script to ppp-out1?

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
Put the USB-stick into the USB-port and look if you have a ip-adres from the ISP.
Look to "IP" "dhcp client" if you have a IP-adres to the LTE
I will look with Teamviewer to your problem.
I'm afraid that the USB stick is not compatible with your Mikrotik router.
Contact me on my website
Then I look with team viewer.

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
Only chimed in to give a little status update...
I finally gave up on the 3387, my version does not speak mikrotisch, at all. (it went in the emergency kit for hiking...)
Bought the 8372 instead. Oh my god...thats how easy it gets.
#Reset the hEX to standard config.
#Popped in the simcard in the 8372
#Connected it to the usb port on the hEX
#Connected laptop in LAN2, opened winbox
#Only changed one single thing (yes I know I only get LAN-ports 2-5, it's enough) In interface list, I changed defconf WAN from ether1 to lte1 and hit Apply.
no restarts, no roms, no further config
Wam Bam Internet.

charliecrash, can you tell me if your E8372 is a E8372h-153 or E8372h-320?
Thank you.

Re: HUAWEI E3372 LTE USB Stick on the Mikrotik router
It's an E3372h-153
Oh wait that's the old one. The new is not home. But it was branded with some obnoxious pink logo. Still working great.
