Cannot flash the modem firmware

[anonymous]

Hello

I cannot flash the modem firmware. I succeeded in flashing ADSP by using ADSP Version EG25GGBR07A08M2G_30.202.30.202 but when I run flashall (with or without sudo), it just displays "waiting for any device". I tried to run each command line one by one and this message appears when running "fastboot oem stay":
https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pine...s/flashall

How can I solve this problem?

I'm under Mobian bookwork, I'll switch to Mobian trixie when this problem is solved.

P.S: I'm going to upgrade the operating system first, it had worked with Mobian Trixie once for sure.

what type of sim does your pinephone (or PP pro) use?
remember you need to use sudo su and then execute the scripts as real root, just usng sudo will fail you.

I use the Pinephone (not the Pinephone Pro). Thank you for the tip, I used only sudo.

By the way, my upgrade from Mobian Bookworm to Trixie failed, I tried to use your suggestion, I use full disk encryption:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...#pid112326

When I enter "resizepart 2 100%" and "print", the size of the boot partition doesn't change. Am I missing something obvious?

parted displays:
Number Start         End         Size        Type       File system Flags
1            8389kB    512 MB   503 MB   primary  ext4             boot
2            512 MB    31.0GB   30.5GB   primary

Should I use resize2fs -M?

OK it is important to know that you will probably end up with a softbricked modem when upgrading, it is just something to do with the sightly different firmware on the PPpro and maybe newer PPs.
It is no big deal though. the modem firmware page had the complete fix and it works for everyone I know of who has used it.
rely on this and not the git below https://themodemdistro.com/efs_recovery
https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pinephone_modem_sdk

Since we are in a modem thread, does everyone else get a very-warm to hot PPpro when making 3g voice calls? It gets uncomfortable and I don't want to think about the wasted battery.

Do I have to follow the EFS recovery procedure after upgrading to Trixie even though I haven't launched ./flashall yet?

If lsusb does not list the modem I think you may need to follow these instructions:

https://github.com/Biktorgj/quectel_eg25...est-points

Then, avoid 30.202. I flashed 01.003 which is enough good for me.
Qfirehose in my case (mobian bookworm) ran perfectly.

scour the git for the ADB modem reset and reboot commands, also the reset/reboot using the hardware switch or just try full shutdown, remove battery, and bootup, I have never needed the shorted pads fix.
The good news I have never seen anyone on the forum hard-brick a modem, even the PPpro post firmware still lets you do the rebuild checklist.
dont worry, chill, have a drink,do a round of your tank game, watch a video, re-read the instructions and you will get it done.Like I said,most everyone who has a PPpro has had to rebuild the modem firmware if they try flashing the open(partly) firmware because of the bug.
Also remember to use sudo su to run ADB, scripts, and fastboot commands needed to reboot and reset the modem to prepare flashing.  You have this, no stress at all.

Ok I'll use "sudo su" and I won't use the very last version of ADSP when flashing.
