Phone backup connection

Currently I'm using my "HTC Desire HD" phone for my temporary internet connection via USB tethering with my "MikroTik RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN" router. I've plugged it in and everything worked fine. It's listed as lte1 in the interfaces list. When I remove the phone and plug it in again it will not work anymore.

- it's not listed under "Interfaces" in Winbox
- on "IP > DHCP Client" there is an old entry with "unknown"-Device

If I restore the backup which I have created during the running configuration it will work again.

In both cases the device is listed in the
/system resource usb print
output.

How do I have to reinitialize/redetect my phone again?

I currently dont have a second device for testing. How can I create the interface manualy? I've also tried to power-off/on the Routerboard.

But everytime I restore the old backup which I have created during the functional connection the phone will work again.

In the working configuration /system resource usb print output looks like this
[admin@gateway] > /system resource usb print
 # DEVICE VENDOR                   NAME                   SPEED                  
 0 1:1    Linux 3.3.5 ehci_hcd     RB400 EHCI             480 Mbps               
 1 1:2    HTC                      Android Phone          480 Mbps
After disconnection/reconnecting the phone the output is like this
[admin@gateway] /interface lte> /system resource usb print
 # DEVICE VENDOR                   NAME                   SPEED                  
 0 1:1    Linux 3.3.5 ehci_hcd     RB400 EHCI             480 Mbps               
 1 1:4    HTC                      Android Phone          480 Mbps
Device 1:4 instead of 1:2.

Is it possible to reset all USB configurations on the Routerboard? My idea is that if the Routerboard detect the phone on 1:2 it should work again.

The /export compact output looks like this:
/interface lte
set [ find ] mac-address=EE:E8:BB:AE:EC:13 name=lte1
I tried to do the commands manually but without success.
