You will need the firmware provided on the windows installation to allow the card to run. In my installation, the files on the windows side were under \QUALCOMM\QDLService\Packages\1\ (Your path may be different. There were 10 different sets of firmware included on my windows partition, it took a bit of trial and error to determine which firmware worked and which didn’t. What appears to be the case is the amss.mbn for GSM is roughly 9MB and the amss.mbn for CDMA is roughly 5MB. For Verizon, you want the CDMA file and it’s associated apps.mbn.
The two files amss.mbn and apps.mbn will need to be copied into /lib/firmware/gobi/ If this folder does not exist, you will need to create it.

I found out that /Qualcomm wireless need to load the right firmware to config itself access GSM or CDMA network.
the firmware will load on when the device power on and I also sure when your device has been restart, the firmware need to be reload.
however I not sure that firmware will be loaded or not when you send "ATZ" command to soft reset the device.
in IREX /opt/Qualcomm/Images2k/iRex# /Qualcomm folder there are two subfolder:
1 -> CDMA firmware
UMTS -> GSM firmware
in /opt/Qualcomm/QDLService2k folder
there are two file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 117 1969-12-31 19:00 Options2kiRex.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 139K 1969-12-31 19:00 QDLService2kiRex
As my guess, Options2kiRex.txt is the cofig file and QDLService2kiRex is the firmware download exe file.
note: QDLService = "Qualcomm Gobi Download Service"

Well, this blog seems abandoned... Anyway, my findings about the Qualcomm Gobi drivers, as I had some free time to dig into the issue:
- if I extract the HP WWAN installer, I find two separate MSI installers made by Qualcomm. One installs the so called "Gobi images" which seem to be settings for the various WWAN service providers (like Verzion, etc. and european UMTS providers). The other one installs the drivers and the QDLService ("Qualcomm Gobi Download Service"), which seems to be a loader of some sort, which has the task to load the correct "Gobi image", depending on the current provider. This latter installer is the one, which fails with a generic error.

here is the info in /opt/Qualcomm/QDLService2k# cat Options2kiRex.txt
/opt/Qualcomm/Images2k/iRex/1/amss.mbn
/opt/Qualcomm/Images2k/iRex/1/apps.mbn
/opt/Qualcomm/Images2k/iRex/1/uqcn.mbn
What i guess that if i change Options2kiRex.txt to
/opt/Qualcomm/Images2k/iRex/UMTS/amss.mbn
/opt/Qualcomm/Images2k/iRex/UMTS/apps.mbn
/opt/Qualcomm/Images2k/iRex/1/uqcn.mbn
the USIM fireware will be loaded.
