Please, do you mean genuine type-c cable like this one?
Ciao Amarok
Debian last distro updated
I’ll do it!!
Thank you
I’ll try and I’ll let you know, dos!! Thank you
I’m going to read and follow @amarok link!!
To everyone: now that I reflashed (and reflashing right now again!) volume up + power on is working so problem, at list in my case, was something software, not hardware! It was connected with the factory image when I received my L5! Hope it’ll help (eg: @amarok )
“put the phone in Serial Download mode.”
How does one put their phone in to “Serial Download mode”?
~s
Follow the procedure on this page Reflashing PureOS - Purism user documentation doing the one step whose description starts with “Expose the filesystem of the phone to the computer.”
To make sure that the procedure works for you, here’s what I suggest you actually do.
- Don’t do the procedure but, with your Librem 5 booted normally, connect your Librem 5 to your host computer via USB and issue the
lsusb
command on the host computer and note the output and unplug the USB cable. - Then do the step above and again issue the
lsusb
command on the host computer.
In the second case the phone will show up as
Bus 999 Device 999: ID 1fc9:012b NXP Semiconductors i.MX 8M Dual/8M QuadLite/8M Quad Serial Downloader
(my emphasis)
and this will be quite different from the description that appears in the first case - and that is what tells you that you did successfully get your phone in serial download mode.
Note that there should be no need to actually run any script on the host computer. You can put your phone in serial download mode regardless of whether you run any script on the host computer in order to utilise the fact that the phone is in serial download mode.
However having put the phone in serial download mode, you can do anything that you have a host-computer script for and that would include:
- reflashing the phone
- booting Jumpdrive on the phone
- upgrading certain phone component firmware.
