What problem does this feature solve or what does it enhance?

The Novatel T1114 mobile Hotspot was sold by Verizon as MiFi Home, and supports bands 4 and 13. Similar to the Orbic device it runs something called MiFi OS, and uses a Qualcomm modem. It is potentially better for some uses because it can run off 5v usb, and has ports for external antennas (LTE and 1x voice I believe). There’s a micro-usb port underneath a cosmetic panel on the top, but not clear what it’s for.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to get root on these (assuming that is needed). I’ve tried:

lsusb - not shown adb devices -not shown ssh root@[ip] connection refused ssh admi@ “” “” ssh VerizonBRW@ “” “”

There is a way to manually upload firmware updates from the routers web interface.

There’s also a not exposed directory /labtestinfo that on my device (sim card, not activated, antennas not connected) shows the following. (phone number redacted)

Proposed Solution

Make Rayhunter installable on the Novatel T1114, probably by uploading custom firmware through the web ui software update tool.

I can try to provide additional information if anyone knowledgeable on this subject thinks it may be possible.
