If it is still error, how about to upgrade it in Windows system to have a try. Thanks!

In Windows error too (QFlash v4.16)

COM port is exactly correct.

Please make sure the port is USB DM port, and have not occupy by any other application, confirm the USB cable have no any issue, you can try to change another USB cable or another PC USB port to test again. Thanks!

Yes, port is USB DM port (no others only one is open by modem), no any usb cable, insert direct in PC port and already try all ports on PC - result the same (error timeout)
Thanks.

If that, it is really hard to say where is the issue. The last method you can try is to connect USB_BOOT to VDD_EXT to force the module enter into emergency download mode to try again. Thanks!

Please say detailed how i can make this.
Thanks.

Please check the following picture. You can get more information from EC25 hardware design document. Thanks!


Thank you, Kyson. Modem recovered succesfull.

But nobody (from support@quectel.com) send firmware for me…
Risk losing a potential client for 1000+ modules (see on Telit) :).

Dear Apanas,
Thanks for your updating. I am glad to hear that the modem recovered successful.
Sorry that the support@quectel.com have not contact you, i will emailed internal to push them to answer you. Sorry that bring any inconvenience for you. Thanks!

Hello apanas,

Regarding error: “sh: dpkg: command not found”

You are as user and dpdk is located in /usr/sbin/ - so system binaries -
to bypass this and also solve for other time, this issue, edit ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_aliases
add line: alias dpkg=‘sudo dpkg’
and next time (after next login*) your username will user dpkg will use it with sudo in front

  • .bash* files are initialized at user log in

In all Ubuntu releases default username (first username created when you install OS) is already added in sudoers group.
You can check this by typing: id - at the end of the outputed line you will see group ‘wheel’

Have a great day!

PS: I am glad your software is updated now

Hello.
Thank you.
I not use Ubuntu.
Problem resolved.
Have a nice day.

Have a nice day too Alex.
Glad you solved the mystery… we didn’t encounter any issues with tests done with EC25 and YateUCN

Hello,

I’m interested in updating my module to the latest firmware
Revision: EC25AFXGAR07A03M1G
