qcell modem id

[zetabeta]

So i have run into an issue with the fwupdmgr when trying to find the modem id. I go to get devices and it doesnt bring back a actual manafucture of the modem to upgrade it, all it gives me is a whole bunch of nunbers. Is there any thing i can do to get the device id of the qcell modem so i can upgrade it. All i see is letters and numbers. thanks

maybe slightly more information about letters and numbers should have been given.

lsusb givers following.

Code:

# lsusb
# in normal mode
Bus 00* Device 00*: ID 2c7c:0125 Quectel Wireless Solutions Co., Ltd. EC25 LTE modem
# in edl mode
Bus 00* Device 00*: ID 05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)

my guess is that you have to manually reflash the modem chip, look following.

or

try to get to the edl mode and flash it. maybe fastboot flashing might still work.

modemmanager usually messes things up during flashing and minicom, so i recommend following, or similar on some distributions.

Code:

# with sudo
sudo systemctl stop ModemManager.service
# with root
systemctl stop ModemManager.service
