Hi @silvia
Driver issue resolved when switching from NDIS to MBIM.
Thanks to still confirm regarding Ethernet PDU support (or planned for future?)
Sebastian
thanks @silvia, can you also provide Qfirehose.ipk package to install on openwrt? thanks
this are the opewnrt specifications:
Target: mediatek
Subtarget: filogic
Package architecture: aarch64_cortex-a53
I’m not part of the support, but I use OpenWRT too and use this source GitHub - nippynetworks/qfirehose: Quectel qfirehose utility to upgrade modems using the firehose protocol, I build it for my OpenWRT device and can flash Quectel firmwares with it just fine.
Dear @silvia,
I own a RM520N-GL, here are the versions:

Could you send me the RM520NGLAAR01A06M4G_01.200.01.200 firmware package or zip as well as the latest update please?
@Nemir thanks for your reply. I visited the link your suggested. Unfortunatelly the page is almost cinese (默认不使能通知功能。如需使能文件方式通知逻辑需要在编译时指定宏), and I don’t know how to compile or cross compile for openwrt. Any tip?
I reply myself since I succesfyully upgraded the modem RM520NGL
- Download locally the firmware you get from quectel support and unzip it into Downloads folder.
- Open terminal CLI a digit following commands:
ssh root@192.168.1.1 # login to router IP address
wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.5/packages/aarch64_cortex-a53/packages/qfirehose_1.4.9-1_aarch64_cortex-a53.ipk
opkg install qfirehose_1.4.9-1_aarch64_cortex-a53.ipk
scp -r USER@192.168.1.XX:~/Downloads/RM520NGLAAR01A08M4G_01.206.01.206 /tmp/RM520NGLAAR01A08M4G_01.206.01.206
qfirehose -f /tmp/RM520NGLAAR01A08M4G_01.206.01.206
Wait the end of process
Dear @t.hill
Yes, it need Ethernet board. You can check your 5G.M2 evaluation board, did it have the slot to install it.
Dear @sebam
Actually, if install PC directly, it should be provided by the PC OS.
Currently, we support the flow as below:

Hello there
I just received new package of RM520N-GL, stock firmware: RM520NGLAAR01A08M4G_01.200.01.200
I’ve tried to upgrade to RM520NGLAAR03A04M4G_01.204.01.204 with QFlash 6.8, and NDIS drivers for Windows Quectel_Windows_USB_Driver(Q)_NDIS_V2.7.9
Always getting same error: “FAIL, DL_Firehose error1”
Disregard of port speed. Please advise or send me updated instructions, firmware and Qflash if that the case…
Thank you
Dear @batcilla
Please download newer version of Qflash in the website as below, it has instructions in the package.
Dear @silvia , I have downloaded QFlash 7.3 from website, got same error:
FAIL, DL_Firehose error!
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you
I have bought a rm520n-Glap
Firmware RM520NGLAPR01A01M4G
I can put it via at command to “usbnet”,2 and it will show 2.
But no chance to set it up a windows as a network devic.
Shows only as a modem.
Looks like it pulls just the ndis drivers.
I really need it on mbim mode later for my MikroTik.
At least as network device for windows.
Reset without any change.
Please be so kind and provide me a firm aware to flash it.
Need it for my internship abroad.
Many thanks.

Many thanks in advance!
Dear @Cienfuegos
RM520NGLAPR01A01M4G is too old, it can’t upgrade to other firmware.
If install in PC directly, it need support by PC manufacture.
