Can't figure out reflashing librem 5

Normally, the L5 would automatically fill in the Access Point Name settings that correspond to the SIM card that is inserted. If it doesn’t, manually add them as below.

According to a very recent post I see in the Koodo community forums, this is probably all you need to do:

Go to
Settings > Mobile > Access Point Names

If you don’t see an entry for Koodo, tap the “+” at the top right of the screen to add the following:

Tap Save.

If you do see an entry for Koodo already there, tap the gear icon and make sure the pre-populated APN settings are correct. Change, if necessary.

Next, go to

Settings > Mobile > Network

If you don’t see an entry for Koodo, disable “Automatic” to trigger network searching. If it times out before it finds Koodo, tap the circular arrow to keep searching.

Once Koodo is found, select and set it.

Next, open Chats, select Preferences from the “hamburger” menu, then SMS and MMS Settings.

Enter the following in the given fields:

Phone… (I’m not sure if it’s necessary to enter your phone number.)

MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/koodo/mmsc
(You can’t see the entire string in my screenshot below, but it’s there.)

APN: sp.koodo.com

Proxy: mmscproxy.mobility.ca

That should do it, unless Koodo has given you settings different from those above.

If that does’t work, I recommend starting a new topic, as we’ve already strayed from the original post.

P.S. You also need to enable VoLTE (Voice over LTE) calling:

Open the BM818 Tool app.

(If you don’t have it yet, open the terminal and install it with the command: sudo apt install bm818-tools)

Check the box:


Then restart the Librem 5.
