Hello,

finally I got aware of the modem firmware, that makes an exploit possible.
So I upgraded the firmware (which was 01.001.01.001) doing the following:

1. cloned giit repository https://github.com/Biktorgj/quectel_eg25_recovery
2. sent test sms -> modem in working state
3. run "./qfirehose -f ./" (-> new firmware version: 30.006.30.006)

After the upgrade the modem came up again working. Everything worked fine (Calls, SMS).
After a reboot, it still worked.

I put the phone into airplane mode overnight. Since then, the modem is in disabled state. It asks me for the SIM pin and unlocks the SIM card. But it does not show or connect to any network. It only tells me "modem in disabled state".

I switched the modem off by using the kill switch and restarted it with "systemctl restart eg25-manager".
I rebooted several times, tried airplane mode... but nothing helps.

Since it worked after the update for while, the firmware itself should be ok, shouldn't it?
I'm not sure if this is platfor specific, but I am running Manjaro with Plasma mobile (KDE Community Editiin).

So what am I supposed to do?


EDIT:
I found this, which could help me:

"To get adb access to the modem:
Get adb key via AT+QADBKEY?"

How is this done? How do I retrieve the adb key?


EDIT2: Got the key, but unfortunately, it doesn't work though

I have tried to order to the Czech Republic and it says that there are no shipping methods available. I wonder where does it ship to and if it is still possible to order somehow from the China store?

When I access the datetimecontroller

As datetimecontroller.seconds() ;

In heartratecontroller. Cpp file it only gives me a static value as 32 always

Any solution?

Hey everyone,

So here's the issue:

TLDR: Shipping here from Pine64 is way too expensive, even for small items.

I put in an order for the USB-C pine phone adapter. They told me they wanted more money, on top of the $30 shipping fee initially charged.
I paid for the item and the shipping. I got an email from them asking for an additional $35 for a remote delivery fee. 
My town is an hour out of a major city up here in Canada. By Canadian standards, I'm not remote. 
I've decided to cancel my order and take my money elsewhere. 
The adapter is normally around $27. With shipping and the remote fee, it was going to total to around $100. 
I'm not spending that on a $30 adapter, no matter how good it may be. 
I'm going to keep looking for other companies to do business with.

Regards

Hi all,

While attempting to re-install Mobian, I believe I may have deleted ALL partitions on my PP64. I had previously installed Tow-Boot to the eMMC and all was well. Now, holding the <VOLUME UP> button while powering up and releasing the volume button after the second vibration, the blue LED illuminates for a second, followed immediately by the red LED which flashes 10 times (along with a vibration for each flash), then the phone powers off. The battery is fully charged, but this also occurs when trying to start the phone without the battery installed (USB cable only). The same thing occurs when holding <VOLUME DOWN> and power to attempt to boot from an SD card. I can't figure out how to do anything to correct this since the phone no longers stays powered on. TIA for any suggestions offered.

Specs: PP Beta/Manjaro Phosh Beta 29/PP keyboard

The icons of open apps on the home screen take up half the screen. Is there a way to reduce their size?

Also, rather than store the entire home directory, is there a way to backup custom settings i.e. custom keyboard shortcuts?

Thanks for any help.

Hi all,

I just noticed that I can no longer recieve SMS - I've already cleared messages via commandline (mmcli) and rebooted and then sent a new simple test message from another device (SMS, not MMS)... nothing.

Is SMS still working for others here on Mobian (latest updates installed here)...?

Thanks & Best Regards,

Hi,

recently received Pine64 Beta.  Went through the quick start guide which was fine until I got to this issue:

• If the phone is plugged on charge it works perfectly, the screen is visible and functional.
  
• But, if the phone - even if fully charged - is not plugged in, the screen fades to black in about less than second.  Touch the screen it opens, but it's barely enough time to choose either a number for the pin code or to tap an app icon.  It's functional but it so fast as disappearing, that the area of the screen being tapped is 'hit and miss'.  If that makes sense.
  

So i tried using the pine64 usb emmc adapter to flash manjaro to emmc, now the pbp will not power on at all no lights no screen on, nothing. help
