yeah... router doesnt have enough space to hold the files...
router has a usb slot. how do i access usb drive through the router?
sorry if i ask a lot, not too familiar with luniz or openwrt.. this is my first router and its been a challenge to get it to work
Assuming all the drivers are there, your memory stick should be mounted under /mnt, check with ls /mnt, so you will need to add something like /mnt/sda1/ before the file names.
You can run ls /mnt/sda1/ (with the correct name) to see the content of the drive.
Got everything setup.. still need to get a bit more familiar with the QMI commands.. im getting some errors when trying to execute command..
but so far mounted external usb drive and the router can see the device and the files inside so its set on that end
Just copy/paste your command and the error(s).
using latest generic from sierra
root@ROOter:~# qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 -p --dms-set-firmware-preference="SWI9X30
C_02.33.03.00"
error: invalid format string, expected 3 elements: [(fwver),(config),(carrier)]
ok. so got a enw eeror from trying yiur command..
seems like i dont have modemmanager
root@ROOter:~# ls /mnt/sda1/
SWI9X30C_02.33.03.00.cwe lost+found

error: unknown firmware image file
used ingore modemanager runtime check since i dont have it .. now got that error.. wtf
You are quoting a space here. Don't do that unless the file name really starts with a space.
even if omitting the fw preference command and going straight for the update it returns that it doesn't recognize the firmware image
When you give it the mistyped file name or does it still do that after you've corrected the typo?
It's very hard for us to guess what you are doing. Can't you please just copy the commands and error messages here instead of describing them in your own words? Most of the time when you get unexpected output, the reason is that the input is different from what you think it is. Describing to us what you think your input is does not help.
Anyway, if you want to verify the images you can compare the MD5 sums with mine:
$ md5sum SWI9X30C_02.33.03.00*
5847f1d62adc3237000c6571f8d87827 SWI9X30C_02.33.03.00.cwe

error: couldn't check if ModemManager running: Couldn't get system bus: Could not connect: No such file or directory
Note: in order to do a clean firmware upgrade, ModemManager must NOT be running;
please stop it and retry. On a 'systemd' based system this may be done as follows:
# systemctl stop ModemManager
You can also ignore this runtime check (at your own risk) using --ignore-mm-runtime-check.
that is my result and the command i am using
how do i find my md5 sum #?
@bmork I see no --update or -u option with OpenWrt version of the tool:
# qmi-firmware-update -V
qmi-firmware-update 1.24.12
[...]
# qmi-firmware-update --help | grep -i update
qmi-firmware-update [OPTION…] FILE1 FILE2... - Update firmware in QMI devices
Update options (download mode)
-U, --update-download Launch firmware update process while in download (boot & hold) mode.
Doh! You're right. Sorry about the confusion. I should test on OpenWrt and not on a PC. But I just don't have a suitable test system right now.
Those options are disabled when libqmi is built without udev support, which is how it is on OpenWrt of course.
OK, so you do need to run qmicli --dms-set-firmware-preference. I recommend using the first example from qmi-firmware-update -H as a template:
qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --dms-set-firmware-preference="firmware-version=02.33.03.00,config-version=002.072_000,carrier=GENERIC"
qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --dms-set-operating-mode=reset
Wait for the /dev/ttyUSB device to appear (need to veriy the device name - it could be different from /dev/ttyUSB0 ).
Run updater operation while in QDL download mode:
qmi-firmware-update -t /dev/ttyUSB0 --update-download /mnt/sda1/SWI9X30C_02.33.03.00.cwe /mnt/sda1/SWI9X30C_02.33.03.00_GENERIC_002.072_000.nvu
Hoping I'm closer to something actually working now...
EDIT: I will remove my previous bogus posts now to avoid confusing anyone reading this thread later
I initially used a desktop example as well. I already corrected my earlier post with the right syntax.
managed to get in download mode:
root@ROOter:~# qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --dms-set-firmware-preference="02.33.03.00,002.072_000,GENERIC"
[/dev/cdc-wdm0] Firmware preference successfully selected
You may want to power-cycle the modem now, or just set it offline and reset it:
$> sudo qmicli ... --dms-set-operating-mode=offline
$> sudo qmicli ... --dms-set-operating-mode=reset
After reset, the modem will wait in QDL mode for new firmware.
Images to download: 'pri'
still having trouble actually flashing the file:

tried without modemmanager runtime check and returned unknown firmware image file
root@ROOter:~# qmi-firmware-update -t /dev/ttyUSB0 --update-download /mnt/sda1/SWI9X30C_02.33.03.00.cwe /mnt/sda1/SW
I9X30C_02.33.03.00_GENERIC_002.072_000.nvu --ignore-mm-runtime-check
error: unknown firmware image file
You need to put all the options before the file names.
qmi-firmware-update -t /dev/ttyUSB0 --ignore-mm-runtime-check -U /mnt/sda1/SWI9X30C_02.33.03.00.cwe /mnt/sda1/SW I9X30C_02.33.03.00_GENERIC_002.072_000.nvu
even doing so returns unknown firmware image
root@ROOter:~# qmi-firmware-update -t /dev/ttyUSB0 --ignore-mm-runtime-check -U /mnt/sda1/SWI9X30C_02.33.03.00.cwe /

Remove extra space in the 2nd file name
still same result
Give me the access to the box and I'll do this for you.
PM me if you're interested.
