@smereka
another user has finally found hardware EDL point for that module

here is it:

Just short these two pins each other until attached to USB port, it will popup as 9008 in Windows\Linux

many many thanks to checkin665 for this gift on year's last day big_smile

And this is very good news for the end of the year smile Will you write how to nourish it from the dead using qpst? Alternatively, if it is the same as mf286d, please just provide the appropriate files in packages and I will write the instructions.

if we use QFIL (instead of SB3.0) it will be more easily to flash
Let me work on repack stuff, now that I've HW EDL is it more easy to flash smile

Fajnie, że wyprowadzili w tym modelu blisko łącza mpcie. Mam 3 modemy zdechnięte od innego modelu być może nawet i ZTE więc posprawdzam sobie te piny. A nóż któryś to EDL boot point big_smile

have you tested into an mPCIe slot? because on it's original router is in USB3.0

831

Odp: ZTE MF289F - Porting OpenWRT

I put the remaining modems to converter mpcie  to USB adapter

Good job.

But can you tell what exacly do ? There are to arrows to 2 points ? Booth of this points should be grounded to get it to EDL ?
Or one arrow is from some point of USB plug ? Doeas it mean to connect there 5V ? Orher GND ?

oh sorry, you're right

just short them to each other while plug the module into USB port, when you get 9008 COM you can remove the short

834

Odp: ZTE MF289F - Porting OpenWRT

Happy New Year, do you have any compiled 289f firmware with the functional plugins already installed? (cell lock bands lock at commands)

835

Odp: ZTE MF289F - Porting OpenWRT

Will you be releasing a method and tool for flashing the module on the 9008?

working in progress...

https://i.ibb.co/mhCDcHB/image.png

Need to finish rawprogram0.xml to test it with QFIL.
Hope tomorrow to make a test flash to see what will happens (these files are reworked from an Vodafone IT AT.1 file, just boot\kernel\modem are from Vodafone DE)

From my experience with MC7010/801A, some of them can be "swapped" between units

when it's done yes, also repack files for the dump that i've (Vodafone IT AT1\AT2, Vodafone DE, T-Mobile PL), otherwise istructions are useless smile

hello I have 50 messages, in theory 50% of the memory but if I try to receive other messages the memory behaves as if it was full

good news guys

EDL recovery was succesfull, so my repack files are good.
Now i've to clean up QCN and check next steps to bring module back to it's normal operation

Hope to finish it tomorrow wink

ok guys.. as promised i've put all infos into my GIT repo

https://github.com/stich86/ZTE-MF289F-R … /tree/main

let's take a look, if you find any issues\imperfection feel free to open a PR\Issue so I can fix it

Thank you very much.

Just a quick question, do you have the openwrt firmware for the 289f? The one with the plugin. bands lock cell lock

!!BE AWARE GUYS!!

we have found with MiG25 that swapping firmware on the module will break LED and RJ-11 port

Now we are trying to understand why..

843

Odp: ZTE MF289F - Porting OpenWRT

stich86 can you take a look here and reply to me there?

Ill take a look later

Can someone send me a “ps w” of a MF286/289 modem over adb?

Thanks

845

Odp: ZTE MF289F - Porting OpenWRT

ok i've found the "issue", tested with MiG25 and now leds\rj11 works again

PLEASE DON'T DOWNLOAD the current images from Mega.
I've to fix all SYSFS and upload them again

I let you know when done

846

Odp: ZTE MF289F - Porting OpenWRT

Issue fixed, i've updated sysfs on Mega

Thanks again to MiG25 for the testing!

Not all modules use that pins to enter in 9008 mode, sometimes is the pin 4 with 5 one, sometise 6 pin but check before the tension because some pin are vcc and gnd and you can burn something, I would try using the mf289f to short pins with a high resistor to see how high the resistance can be to get it into 9008 mode then use that resistor for testing.
Ps can anyone help me with the sms memory?

Just remove old messages?

Masz niepotrzebny router, uszkodzony czy nie - chętnie przygarnę go.

Nice consideration.

Make your check, so in case I can update the git wink

Yes , resistor ( like 10kOhm) would be good to check , since here for sure point 4 ( counting from left on the picture ) is definetly VCC ( so 3,3V)  ,and you pulling up Point 1 (EDL ).
