Do you find problem if you manually reset the module?

I don’t see problem with this:

sudo ./bin/fwdwl-litehostx86_64 -c MBIM -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -p /dev/cdc-wdm0 -f /home/jordan/Desktop/EM919x_FW/Release5/ -t 1 -w SWIX55C_03.10.07.00-001.cwe -n SWIX55C_03.10.07.00-001_GENERIC_030.062_000.nvu -l log.txt

Does the FW upgraded after you manually reset the module?

what is the “modinfo qcserial” in your enviroment?

[vu.trunghieu09]

FW is not installed when I reboot manually

what is the current FW version in ATI3 in your module?
does your module work in Windows?
You might also need to try AT!BOOTHOLD to kick module into download mode first:
sudo ./bin/fwdwl-litehostx86_64 -c QMI -m 4 -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -f /home/admin1/Downloads/SWIX55C_03.10.07.00-001_GENERIC_030.062_000/

ati3
Manufacturer: Sierra Wireless, Incorporated
Model: EM9190
Revision: SWIX55C_01.07.13.00 000000 jenkins 2020/12/16 22:24:13

EM9190 is recognized by windows, but it doesn’t work when installing fw, like linux

I used AT!BOOTHOLD before and here are the results:

EM9190 does not reboot but is kept in AT!BOOTHOLD mode

[jyijyi]

you need to see release note:

[vu.trunghieu09]

Can you give me the download address of FW SP1_RC6 ?

[jyijyi]

you can see here:

Upgrade of old EM9191 firmware and band N40 support

Hey! We are using two EM9191 5G modems together with an Amarisoft Callbox. Both were working fine. Due to project requirements we need to use band N40 which is listed as supported in the EM9191 technical spec. AT!BAND=? does not list n40 as supported. I am not sure if that is due to the old firmwares installed on the EM9191s we have. Does anybody know if newer firmwares enable band n40? I have not found anything in the release notes. The firmware versions on the two modems are: SWIX55C_01.0…

I took a long time for this, you solved it for me, thank you very much.
