CHANGELOG: 0.7.2

Big, enormous thank you to all the people who participate in the development of this firmware, be it by contributing with code, documentation, donations or testing and reporting issues, this firmware gets better on each release thanks to your help and feedback!

This is mostly a bugfix release, and the beginning of a partial rewrite of openqti to try to get it cleaner and easier to understand

New:

  • Add Do Not Disturb functionality (in testing). Send enable dnd for (hours) or (hh:mm) to enable it. This one will lie to modemmanager when there's an incoming call and DND is enabled, and will send you a SMS with the number that was calling
  • Lie to ModemManager when there are stuck messages in the baseband
  • Forward those stuck messages as Modem fake messages
  • (devel): CB Message relay through the AT interface
  • (devel): Replay CB messages as SMS (to test encodings)
  • (unfinished): Add code to initialize the internal RMNET interface (unfinished, only partially working)

Fixes:

  • Follow persist settings when retrieving logs through chat and AT IF (Fixes log retrieval outside of ADB)
  • Stop using AT+CIND to retrieve network state as it messes with AGPS uploads and ModemManager
  • Text decoding was sometimes eating a letter making some commands not work
  • Use ModemManager's PDU decoding functions for SMS logging
  • Less log spamming from the scheduler, proxy, messaging and call services
  • Eat verizon's configuration profile SMS's that were incorrectly being interpreted as Cell broadcast messages
  • Custom Alert Tone was broken in 0.7.1, fixed now

Compatibility:

  • Pinephone
  • Pinephone Pro
  • Quectel EG25 based MiniPCIe cards (make sure you enable USB audio if you want to make a call)

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

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
