Em7455 (dell) with GobiNet&GobiSerial

Is it possible to use the QMI SDK and drivers (sierra GobiNet and GobiSerial) with dell pid&vid?
My VID is 413c and PID is 81b6. Only have one interface, cdc_wdm0. We can’t change vid&pid with AT command :frowning:

Your modem is in MBIM mode. You will have to switch it to QMI for GobiNet. But if you do, then it should only be a matter of adding the Dell IDs to those drivers.

Is the switch possible by an MBIM command? Only have mbim interface (haven’t qmi or at interface).

Best regards

This perl hack should be able to do it: git.mork.no/wwan.git/plain/scrip … usbcomp.pl

But I am sure Matt will not approve of that, and he probably has good reasons not to :slight_smile: This most certainly can brick the modem. At least make it rather difficult to fix. BTDT.

The perl script should be safer than the NVU based method I saw referred to in another thread, though I don’t want to remove those old docs, but they are not something I will point anyone to… I do not have the resources to help unbricking the results.

Switch to qmi mode with perl script. When you run qmi-firmware-update the same things happens. Send the command reboot (to download mode) but never restart :frowning:


Convert to 1199:9071 neither works.
Try with windows and neither works. AT! RESET does not work. The LED goes off, but does not reset the modem.

Hi,

Based on all related information, I believe nothing wrong with “qmi-firmware-update” and looks like “device timeout” to be at “qdl” mode. Why not try updating that em7455 via windows using sierra firmware update tools “fdt.exe”. I’ve done previously, where that tool will triggering “qdl” port together with other processes.
