Autoflash not working cause Download URL changed #130

Closed nightcat91 closed 1 year ago

Hi, i tried using the autoflash script on a Ubuntu 20.04 Live System. It seems that everything works until it gets to the part where it wants to download the Generic Firmware. Stops there cause of this error: https://github.com/danielewood/sierra-wireless-modems/blob/master/autoflash-7455.sh#L318

After looking around a bit I noticed that Sierra Wireless seemed to have changed the firmware website. The correct URL would now probably be: new: https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/minicard/74xx/em_mc74xx-approved-fw-packages old: https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/minicard/74xx/airprime-em_mc74xx-approved-fw-packages

But simply changing the URL in line 308 https://github.com/danielewood/sierra-wireless-modems/blob/master/autoflash-7455.sh#L308 did not work. I think the whole part about the Download URL and filename needs a few tweaks, but sadly I cant figure out whats wrong.

Would be nice if that could be upgraded!?

this is a stupid solution i used. you can update it using by downloading the zip file from sierra then unzip and specify the path. here is the link for the forked script https://github.com/Habibi6989/sierra-wireless-modems.git

autoflash-7455.sh has been modified read the first few lines in the comments

Looks like it worked, but haven't flashed yet.

Flashing SWI9X30C_02.38.00.00.cwe onto Generic Sierra Modem... reseter operation finished successfully Waiting for modem in boothold mode... Waiting for modem in boothold mode...

I don't quite understand why it's unknown.

are you using this image file "SWI9X30C_02.38.00.00" ? I'm thinking you might have setup the path wrong or there is some other issue. I haven't seen this error before, I will give it a try and maybe make a short video later today.

also you could use this method: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/update-firmware-em7455-chip-and-set-device-id-sierra-wireless

you might need to add --device for the first command like the example below sudo perl swi_setusbcomp.pl --device=/dev/cdc-wdm0 --usbcomp=6
