I've just purchased a ZTE MF286D - unlocked (Three) from Amazon, I was hasty and used ZTE FRAMEWORK cause It seemed like the less troublesome solution to have OpenWrt on it, I was wrong It gave me 100% success, after that the power light kept blinking, I had no OpenWrt, I had access to the router's web interface but the 4G modem was no longer available cause It's IMEI had turned to 0000000000000000.
I turned to the official way of installing OpenWrt and It was a success but I still can't access the modem and the blinking light is still there, everything works like it normally has to except for when I reboot from ssh the device freezes.
This what I get in lsusb no ZTE device

Thanks in advance
) it has entered some kind of mode and I have get it out of it then it would be detected on the router once again.
