New modem files - Fairphone OS 19.02.1 - Bug corrected LOS?

[Peter974]

Hi there,

With the new Fairphone OS 19.02.1 official release, can we hope the corrected bugs to be apply also to LineageOS? With a new modem.img files for examples?

"

• Fix power on from charging mode
• Fix new camera module prevents shutdown
  "

Thanks.

Updating LineageOS 15.1 for microG via TWRP + feature test

Edit: I just saw there’s a preliminary new modem.zip, but I didn’t use that yet … So … you can flash the new modem files, and you will get the fancy fastboot mode LED and vibration, and you can turn on the phone again while charging, but if you want the modem files for fixing e.g. the shutdown bug, those fixes are somewhere else, as explained here … https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp2-fairphone-os-fairphone-open-19-02-1/48239/30?u=anotherelk And in case you want to try flashing the Fairphone …

I can not access all the links but I understand there is not yet an updated modem file and anyway all the issues are not corrected only with this new modem file (and therefore I understand that some changes have to be made in some other files by the one maintaining LOS?).

Thanks.

Sorry, I didn’t check the links again.
But you got the situation right.
I pinged @chrmhoffmann in a conversation about this already, so we’ll wait and see …

I just modified the makefile and built the new modem.zip but haven’t installed it yet. Stand by.

Okay, the only thing worth testing was

• Fix new camera module prevents shutdown

but that hasn’t been fixed with the new modem firmware. The other bug

• Fix power on from charging mode

has already been patched in LineageOS.

[StephanK]

The shutdown bugfix has been commited to LineageOS.

[chrmhoffmann]

Yes, the shutdown problem should be fixed now through updating lineage. The power on while charging should be fixed by flashing the aboot partition from the Fairphone package.

Moved this to #help:fp2 because it is not about developing new software.

The shutdown-fix WILL be in the next LineageOS build :), the one AFTER lineage-15.1-20190227-nightly-FP2-signed.zip.

Great work, thank you Chris!

Great!
It would be very, very nice to have bullet proof instructions for this,
like: Can I simply flash it in recovery, or to I need fastboot…
maybe here
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/FP2/install
or anywhere…

thank you very much

[Ingo]

It’s not a central documentation place but the exact commands for Linux/Windows/MacOS can be found at FP2 not booting when on charger since Android 7 upgrade

@d2w

Can I simply flash it in recovery

emmc_appsboot.mbn, which gets flashed to aboot, is part of the modem.zip, so a 19.02.1 version of the modem.zip should include it, and you could install the modem.zip in recovery.

I’m waiting for this new build !
However, build frequency for 15.1 is now weekly:

We feel that the 16.0 branch has reached feature parity with 15.1 and is ready for initial release. With 16.0 being the most recent and most actively-developed branch, on March 1st, 2019 it will begin receiving builds nightly and 15.1 will be moved to weekly builds.

Wait no more! modem.zip 19.02.1 has just been released!
