Hi Quectel team,

I’m using two Quectel 5G modules in my project and need assistance with firmware updates and QFirehose flashing under Linux/OpenWrt environment:

  1. Devices:
    • Module 1: RM500U-CNV
    Firmware version: RM500UCNVAAR03A02M2G_01.001.01.001
    USB only working in RNDIS mode, MBIM/QMI not available (/dev/cdc-wdm0 not present)
    • Module 2: RM530N-GL
    Want to install latest available firmware
    Also requesting latest MBN configurations (e.g. for Orange PL)

  2. Environment:
    • Host devices: Banana Pi R3 Mini (running OpenWrt 24.10)
    • No access to Windows — I need to flash and update modems using Linux-based tools
    • I’ve seen references to QFirehose tool for Linux — could you please share the Linux version of this tool and the latest firmware files (or provide access/download links)?

  3. Goal:
    • Enable full MBIM/QMI functionality on RM500U-CNV
    • Flash latest stable firmware to RM530N-GL
    • Confirm compatibility with OpenWrt-based routing system

⸻

  1. Additional info:

I purchased RM500U-CNV and RM530N-GL modules from:
https://kamami.pl/moduly -5g/1188814-quectel-rm50x-series-5g-sub-6-ghz-module-m-2-form-factor.html

If needed, I can provide more AT command outputs or logs.

Thanks in advance for your support!

Dear @bpienkowski
Enable full MBIM/QMI functionality on RM500U-CN
=>RM500U doesn’t support MBIM and QMI.

I have sent the latest firmware to your email, please check.

For compatibility with OpenWrt-based routing system, you need to test on your side, we don’t have any for this.

Dear Quectel team,

our team is using the RM500U-CNV and would like to request the latest firmware update. We would like to double check a possible issue with PDU session over Ethernet establishment.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for providing the firmware.

We are in the process of flashing it onto the modem and would like to
confirm the correct procedure for Linux. Specifically, should we
install the USB drivers and QDLoader from a particular source or
location?

Also, could you let us know if there is an English version of the
update document available?

We appreciate your guidance. Thanks!
