I want to upgrade the old firmware.
Have 3 EM7455 here: 2 of them from Fujitsu Lifebook, one from unknown source.
Under Linux Ubuntu
compiled successfully fwdwl-litehostx86_64
did most steps from lite-fw-download-readme.txt
ModemManager deactivated, blacklist Gobi drivers (no effect recognized), sometimes cdc_mbim module / driver loaded (no effect recognized), started from “cold”, deactivated network etc.
tried about 50 times in the last ten hours
invoked (in proper dir)
sudo bin/fwdwl-litehostx86_64 --fw path ~/Downloads/SierraWireless7455_JulianE559/FWfolder/
result “other modem”: “Firmware download process completed successfully.”
Works fine. Does not help: Modem does not function in this Laptop anyway (BIOS whitelist??).
Means:
Setup is fine, can work, did work with one of three EM7455 modems.
Problem:
both EM7455 from Fujitsu (one was updated successful some years ago) show:
Waiting for modem to come up in BOOT and HOLD mode …
Modem not coming up in BOOT and HOLD mode in 60 seconds. Please check parameters. Application terminates.
So both do not enter the BOOT and HOLD mode.
Question:
How can “not enter the BOOT and HOLD mode.” be resolved?
