Trouble trying to use Jumpdrive: No blue LED, can't enter flash mode

Are the volume buttons working correctly when booted in phosh?

Yep. No problems there.

@dos

You need to do it before the LED goes green

Nearly impossible, unless…

@dos

All you need is to hold Vol+ while turning the phone on.

…which does nothing on my Librem 5, confirmed by then connecting to the computer.

@dos

David’s instructions aren’t actually for booting into Jumpdrive using USB, but for installing it to use from u-boot.

Good to know. (Since his video doesn’t indicate that in any way. )

@dos

David’s method (well, it was actually a trick I once showed to him ) does not use flashing mode at all.

What is the blue-green LED he mentioned supposed to indicate?

@dos

I’d recommend sticking to the normal procedure unless you’re familiar with u-boot.

OK, I will, because I’m not.

I’m familiar with the usual battery-shuffle, claw-grip steps for the flashing procedure, but today I just wanted to learn how to use Jumpdrive to expose the storage to a computer. Not something I need at the moment, but I wanted to see how it’s done. Wasn’t planning on actually reflashing.

I do have this complication, though, so maybe I should reflash. Not sure if that would correct it, however.
