Model: Community Edition: KDE Plasma Mobile 2GB Ram
I'm currently waiting to hear back from support for an issue I'm having with my phone, in the mean time I was looking into this method to possibly fix it by triggering the device to boot into FEL mode.
https://linux-sunxi.org/FEL
These are the instructions I'm attempting to follow, under the section "triggering FEL mode" I don't believe my model has a special button unless someone can tell me? I have a reset button on the back but I believe that only hard boots the device. The only physical buttons I have on the sides of the phone is a volume up and down and a power button, I was hoping I could trigger it "By holding a standard button" as the instructions said where it explains by pressing a certain button combination on the device itself you could activate this mode. I've tried the directions with volume up and down and it doesn't seem to be working.
I've already downloaded and built "Sunxi-tools" on my distro to be able to use for the next step when the phone is recognized, the directions says to know if I've booted into FEL mode successfully I should see a new device appear with the `lsusb` command. Will the USB-C to USB-A cable that came in the box to charge my phone work with these directions?
Without going the serial cable route, does anyone know how I could boot into FEL mode with my specific model? If I was able to get the device to recognize on my distro then I could flash an image to the emmc directly?
Thank you in advance anyone willing to try and help me with this
