Recovery support Pre-release
Pre-release

Second public bootloader release

This is the bootloader for the Quectel EG25G Modem used in various Pine64 products
This release provides the following features:

  • Unsigned kernel support. This bootloader won't check signatures when flashing or booting any kind of images
  • Disabled Quectel FOTA Support
  • Fastboot mode control via GPIO #232 (W_DISABLE#) in the Pinephone
  • Direct reboot to recovery mode from fastboot interface. Use the command [fastboot oem reboot-recovery] to force the modem to go into recovery mode

Flashing

If you already have ADB unlocked, run adb reboot bootloader to enter fastboot
If you don't have ADB unlocked, send the command AT+QFASTBOOT through the Modem's AT Interface
Once you're in fastboot mode, run fastboot flash aboot appsboot.mbn to overwrite the stock bootloader.

NOTE

If something goes wrong, you might end up with a soft bricked modem. Make sure you get a copy of the Recovery repo (https://github.com/Biktorgj/quectel_eg25_recovery) and you read the instructions before using this.
