Need some help downloading firmware for my EM9293. I’ve tried power cycling the device and also running AT!BOOTHOLD but that didn’t make the firmware download successful. sudo ./bin/fw-download-toolrpi -f \~/Downloads/SWIX65C_02.17.08.00_ROGERS_030.033_001 -w SWIX65C_02.17.08.00.cwe -n SWIX65C_02.1…

Yes, you can use fdt tool: [image] EM9291 FW upgrade problem MC/EM Series Hi, I would like to know how to upgrade an image and multiple PRIs using FDT tool in Windows OS. Below is the command I used but it always shows error. Could anyone help with suggest…

The “GENERIC” firmware was already loaded in before. But for the ROGERS firmware, I used the fw-download tool while in normal mode but it got stuck as I’ve shown and automatically switched to LOW POWER MODE. So, I guess it was unable to download it properly and hence, the fw mismatch.

do you mean you can download GENERIC firmware but not for Rogers firmware for normal mode? Then how about firmware like AT&T or TMO or Verizon?

Well, I’ve also tried the newer GENERIC firmware downloads from the website and still ran into the same issue. So I don’t think it’s the carrier.

then probably you did not download any firmware successfully…

Yes, I think so too. Is there any way to fix this FW mismatch? I just want to go back to ONLINE mode at least. I’ve tried deleting the current FW images but still no luck.

@blackbow7 did you have an idea of any solution to the FW mismatch, or just how to download FW successfully in general?

i don’t see problem to download firmware: [image] EM9293 firmware upgrade failed MC/EM Series is your module in MBIM mode? Just did a test in Ubuntu PC, no problem is found for my EM9291 module: owner@ubuntu:~/QMI/MBPL/MBPL_SDK_R44_ENG5-fwdwl.bin/SampleApps/f…

You can fix the IMPREF mismatch with this AT command, AT!IMPREF=”GENERIC” Then power off and on the module. That should bring the module back to normal.

[image] blackbow7: AT!IMPREF=”GENERIC” This is returning an error for me: AT!IMPREF=”GENERIC” ERROR AT!IMPREF="GENERIC_030.054_001" …

I see. I checked into this error. Not due to the “password” command required. Try this command instead, AT!IMPREF=”ROGERS” Then power off, on. That should set you back to Rogers and in normal mode. Then check this command for me, AT!IMAGE? This will tell us what FW images are loaded into memory…
