All done, exiting
UPDATE. Have set various delays. Quotation from http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/#trouble:
Annother way of influencing the kernel behaviour is the parameter
"delay_use" of "usb-storage" which sets the time in seconds after
plugging when the storage device will actually be used (and probably
automounted). The default value is 5; this might affect the switching
result under certain conditions. To change the default add in
/etc/modprobe.conf:
options usb-storage delay_use=1 (or 10, or other)
With delay of 1-3, works sometimes. Sometimes doesn't.
UPDATE 2. After days of testing, I have an impression that it is not any particular delay setting which makes usb_modeswitch work, but changing this setting. Also I have a (very tentative) feeling that logging in/out and changing autologin settings somehow interferes with modeswitching.

All done, exiting
UPDATE. Have set various delays. Quotation from http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/#trouble:
Annother way of influencing the kernel behaviour is the parameter
"delay_use" of "usb-storage" which sets the time in seconds after
plugging when the storage device will actually be used (and probably
automounted). The default value is 5; this might affect the switching
result under certain conditions. To change the default add in
/etc/modprobe.conf:
options usb-storage delay_use=1 (or 10, or other)
With delay of 1-3, works sometimes. Sometimes doesn't.
UPDATE 2. After days of testing, I have an impression that it is not any particular delay setting which makes usb_modeswitch work, but changing this setting. Also I have a (very tentative) feeling that logging in/out and changing autologin settings somehow interferes with modeswitching.

@Avinash Raj - well, it's not recognized as a "disk" either. At least, sudo fdisk -l doesn't see it. So even if the Huawei driver was the solution, I can't access it. On the other hand, (in theory) if I can switch the device to modem mode, I shouldn't even need any third party drivers. At least, that's how usb_modeswitch was supposed to work.

Output of
lsusb | grep Huawei
is
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 12d1:1c0b Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E173s 3G broadband stick (modem off)
I've checked if usb_modeswitch is set up properly as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Huawei_E173s. It is.
Enabled usb_modeswitch logging. The log output is below. Seems like the device is identified by usb_modeswitch, and the switch message is sent, but no response. At this point I'm thinking that either there's a problem with the dongle's firmware (but it works fine under Windows), or udev can't communicate with it for whatever reason.

Warning: USB attribute "serial" not readable.
All done, exiting
UPDATE. Have set various delays. Quotation from http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/#trouble:
Annother way of influencing the kernel behaviour is the parameter
"delay_use" of "usb-storage" which sets the time in seconds after
plugging when the storage device will actually be used (and probably
automounted). The default value is 5; this might affect the switching
result under certain conditions. To change the default add in
/etc/modprobe.conf:
options usb-storage delay_use=1 (or 10, or other)
With delay of 1-3, works sometimes. Sometimes doesn't.
UPDATE 2. After days of testing, I have an impression that it is not any particular delay setting which makes usb_modeswitch work, but changing this setting. Also I have a (very tentative) feeling that logging in/out and changing autologin settings somehow interferes with modeswitching.

Output of

is
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 12d1:1c0b Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E173s 3G broadband stick (modem off)
I've checked if usb_modeswitch is set up properly as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Huawei_E173s. It is.
Enabled usb_modeswitch logging. The log output is below. Seems like the device is identified by usb_modeswitch, and the switch message is sent, but no response. At this point I'm thinking that either there's a problem with the dongle's firmware (but it works fine under Windows), or udev can't communicate with it for whatever reason.

searching devices, found USB ID 1d6b:0002
No new devices in target mode or class found
Mode switch has failed. Bye.
fail:
--------------------------------
(end of usb_modeswitch output)
USB dir exists: /sys/bus/usb/devices/3-2
Warning: USB attribute "serial" not readable.
All done, exiting
UPDATE. Have set various delays. Quotation from http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/#trouble:
Annother way of influencing the kernel behaviour is the parameter
"delay_use" of "usb-storage" which sets the time in seconds after
plugging when the storage device will actually be used (and probably
automounted). The default value is 5; this might affect the switching
result under certain conditions. To change the default add in
/etc/modprobe.conf:
options usb-storage delay_use=1 (or 10, or other)
With delay of 1-3, works sometimes. Sometimes doesn't.
UPDATE 2. After days of testing, I have an impression that it is not any particular delay setting which makes usb_modeswitch work, but changing this setting. Also I have a (very tentative) feeling that logging in/out and changing autologin settings somehow interferes with modeswitching.

@Avinash Raj - well, it's not recognized as a "disk" either. At least, sudo fdisk -l doesn't see it. So even if the Huawei driver was the solution, I can't access it. On the other hand, (in theory) if I can switch the device to modem mode, I shouldn't even need any third party drivers. At least, that's how usb_modeswitch was supposed to work.

Can you please try this:
Download the package modemmanager0.5.1.97-0ubuntu1 from here or from here.
Open Synaptic Package Manager type in your password when required, search for the package named modemmanager when you find it, hit the right click on it and hit on Mark for complete removal and close the Synaptic Package Manager.
Look for the file you downloaded before and execute it (it will may be open on the Ubuntu Software Center), install it and close the Ubuntu Software Center.
Now open one more time the Synaptic Package Manager and search for the package named modemmanager again, when you find it click on it and go to the upper menu option Package, hit on Lock Version until you see a checkmark next to that option and a locker next to the package name.
Restart your system and let us now if that worked.
