EM9191 FDT2.exe multiple firmware and PRI image loading

[richey216]

I’m trying to flash multiple firmware images (and PRI) onto an EM9191 module with fdt2.exe but it will only flash them on firmware slot “1”, and “2” If I flash one image at a time, it keeps overwriting the last one, thus not allowing me to swap PRI with !IMPREF as I’m guessing they are getting orphaned.

TLDR: What is the syntax to flash multiple images and PRI and have it use all firmware image slots, NOT just slot “1” so that I can swap PRI images at will?

Command I’m using:

fdt2.exe -d g5k -resettimeout 3 -timeout 15 -f SWIX55C_03.04.03.00-001.cwe SWIX55C_01.07.23.00-001.cwe SWIX55C_01.07.13.00-005.cwe SWIX55C_03.04.03.00-001_GENERIC_030.012_000.nvu SWIX55C_01.07.23.00-001_VERIZON_012.019_000.nvu SWIX55C_01.07.13.00_ATT_012.007_002.nvu SWIX55C_01.07.13.00_TMO_001.005_003.nvu -mi -impref SWIX55C_03.04.03.00-001.cwe SWIX55C_03.04.03.00-001_GENERIC_030.012_000.nvu -force -log logs

Command outcome:

Prior to running commands over and over again, lol:

Here you see the multiple PRI exist after running the above command, but there are only two FW image slots being populated with an image. It’s skipping, or overwriting, SWIX55C_01.07.23.00-001.cwe. This making the Verizon PRI an orphan.

Maybe My fdt2.exe command syntax is off somewhere?

halp!

Honestly I’m not sure how I got the image #2 to stick. I tried duplicating on a fresh module and it will not flash to fw image slot #2 or #3. It just writes the first image and the others go into the ether and the PRIs get put in and orphaned.

Edit: I updated to the images just posted a few days ago for this one.

how about without the “-force” parameter?

Tried with and without. Same outcome.

I’ve messed with it more on a fresh modem and now I have NO idea how I got a second firmware slot to populate on the first modem. I can only get it to repeatedly overwrite the first slot.

No other modem I have does this, except these 5G modems.
