CHANGELOG: 0.8.0

So... it's been a while. Sorry for that.

A couple of bug fixes since 0.7.4 to deal with Quectel, and updates to Yocto

New:

  • Don't enable stuck SMS recovery with oFono
  • Support for 20X branch of Quectel's firmware
  • Update to Yocto 5

Compatibility:

  • Pinephone
  • Pinephone Pro
  • Quectel EG25 based MiniPCIe cards (make sure you enable USB audio if you want to make a call) (Only for the 256MB version!)

Known issues

  • SMS Timestamps will be wrong if the modem can't manage to sync the date from the carrier. If this happens all messages will have a date of 2022-01-01 (+- timezone offset)
  • You tell me!

NOTES:

SHA512 Sum of the package file

SHA512: 2727d8d4c6847675a55517bfff681f41ac317ffa835b4220272afaf85b10a7767002cc3221061ecf36b0d3f48de08edae5a437b487fc0c5badc2912b8b38c629 package.tar.gz

Inside the compressed tar file there's a file containing the SHA sums for the files in it.

Installation instructions:

  1. Get required tools: you need adb and fastboot
  2. Run the flashall script bundled in the package as root. If something fails, flash manually

After you flashed everything, the modem should come back automatically after 14-18 seconds.
If you want to go back to stock, check the recovery repo

WARNING: Make sure you have a recent enough baseband version before installing the firmware, or some things won't work as expected. You can check your current ADSP firmware by sending the command AT+QGMR when running stock, or AT+GETADSPVER when using this firmware. Below you can find the latest ADSP firmware blobs we have found (all of them will work):

ADSP Firmware:

Depending on your carrier, some firmware versions will work better than others. You can check your current ADSP firmware version by sending the "AT+QGMR" AT command. If in doubt, version 01.002.01.002 is the default if you used the recovery repo. I've been using version 003 for months without issues (and improvements in data handling) but some users have reported problems making VoLTE calls with it, so pick whatever works best for you (or don't change it at all if it worked fine before)

Flashing it:

  1. Open a root terminal and run: echo -ne "AT+QFASTBOOT\r" > /dev/ttyUSB2 to enter fastboot mode
  2. Run fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.ubi && fastboot reboot

Something went wrong?

Feel free to check the troubleshooting section. If you don't manage to fix it, feel free to open an issue and I'll do my best to help you out

This release is a flashable package based on the following repos:

Have fun and stay safe everyone
