In fact, USB-A to C cables are generally more reliable, as USB-C to C communication involves things like Power Delivery negotiations, which bring a quite sizeable failure surface on both host and device ends in that doesn’t exist when using a USB-A port.

Hello,
today I tried reflashing the Librem 5 with the scripts available here:
https://developer.puri.sm/Librem5/Development_Environment/Phone/Troubleshooting/Reflashing_the_Phone.html
And when the script is launched it outputs this error:

Are you sure that finished download - disk didn’t fill up? Did you try again?

Does Jumpdrive publish a hash of their releases somewhere? How can I be sure the Jumpdrive binary is tamper-free?
Environment: Ubuntu 22.10, Gnome 43.1, uuu installed, sudo apt build-dep . installed, ./scripts/librem5-flash-image --udev installed, restarted computer, flashing from Ubuntu desktop, librem 5 phone, original cable, Evergreen, phone and battery were fully functional yesterday, just decided to reflash due to new sparclan wifi card.
I have flashed the phone before once (or was it three times) and it worked before with the instructions: Librem 5 flashing instructions
Flashing fails for me after line two “looking for librem5r4 plain byzantium image…” nothing futher happens. It appears as if it cannot download or find the image. Ideas? Are there other ways to flash the phone to try?
The device is recognized on usb with lsusb command when in flashing mode as:

I have flashed the phone fine before using the supplied usb-c to usb-c cable, and my own purchased usb-c to usb-c cables from baseus with power delivery usb-c cable with power delivery that work well on librem 5, which i have used to charge the phone with (and hadn’t experienced any issues with before).
The server this script is trying to connect to to download images and bootloader is down right now, sorry about that. It should just start to work once it comes back online.
just decided to reflash due to new sparclan wifi card.
You don’t need to do that at all, all you may have to do is to flash the firmware jail by following the instructions at https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5-fw-jail. The script will attempt to download u-boot from Jenkins which will fail right now, but until that server comes back you can still download it from our GitLab CI job:
wget -Ofiles/u-boot-librem5.imx https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/uboot-imx/-/jobs/406070/artifacts/raw/debian/output/u-boot.imx
Afterwards, write_flash.sh should proceed as usual.

I appreciate the quick response and will wait until Jenkins is up and running. There are a few unrelated issues as well for re-flashing i my case: phosh where i didn’t install a dependency from v.0.24 (was trying something out of sequence) and so it wouldn’t show the login screen after boot, so i figured a reflash is good at this point to resolve that, the wifi firmware jail item, and maybe get gps running - which so far hasn’t worked on my device.
Looks like Jenkins server is back up. It is looking for a job artifact file but there is a meta.yml file missing for the job 13545 with error. Is the server busy building still?

Yeah, seems so. Looks like the old image has been already deleted, but the new one is still building. Should fix itself in a matter of hours.

Great news- now the files are available and are downloaded and correctly flashed. However the latest image flashed is a non-encrypted image and therefore the wrong image for my use case, i am not capable enough to do post flashing encryption of the eMMC with LUKS:
./scripts/librem5-flash-image

2023-02-19 16:42:04 INFO Found disk image Build 13563 'plain librem5r4 byzantium image' from Sun Feb 19 13:33:43 2023
Is there a toggle in the script to enable looking for a encrypted image, or could you point me to the correct r4 image with encryption? Or is possible that that image is also still being built in Jenkins?

Did you forget to add --variant luks to parameters?

you mean the flash script, set image as = ‘plain’ --variant luks or somewhere else?, i probably need to do some reading on where to set that:

VALID_PHONE_BOARD_TYPES = ['librem5r2', 'librem5r3', 'librem5r4']

Awesome. I imagine i could set the flashing script to ‘luks’ too, to always pull those files?
It looks like Jenkins is still busy with that image, i’ll try it again in 3-4 hours and see:

I ran the command ./scripts/librem5r4-flash-image --variant luks --skip-cleanup to install the LUKS variant. The --skip-cleanup flag keeps the downloaded image on the PC, rather than re-downloading it if the flash should somehow fail.

all flashed thanks for the patience. Couple observations:
- needed to expand partition ssd2 to take up 32GB, known issue i think.
- weirdly network manager didnt have proper open vpn packages installed to allow create vpn from import file, i think first time i had this issue with pureos after reflash.
- also flashed the sw jail separately since that flash does not appear to be packaged with librem5r4 image.
- New sparclan wifi works now with sw jail!!!
- GPS appears still not to work for me out of the box, maybe i have an older librem 5 hardware version.
Older devices may need a hardware fix to improve GPS sensitivity. Contact support, they should be able to guide you.
