Talk:Qualcomm Gobi 2000
Firmware
I found out a way to get the firmware on a linux-only system. Mine is a debian squeeze, but it should apply to any system.
First, I entered my model number on the Lenovo support page in the right siderow (Select you system / Quick Path) to get to my drivers page. There I clicked to download drivers and on the UMTS drivers. Afterwards I downloaded the "7xwc42ww.exe" driver package.
With wine I was able to install the driver package, but all it does, was unpacking the GOBI driver setup. This one comes packaged as a .msi file, so we have to unpack it:
user@machine:~$ wine msiexec /a ~/.wine/drive_c/DRIVERS/WWANQL/Driver/GobiInstaller.msi TARGETDIR=C:\\DRIVERS\\GOBI
The installer quits with errors, but leaves the files on the disk, success. But now there are several subdirectories, in which the files for the specific network operators reside:
| Dir | Image | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Vodafone Image | |
| 1 | Verizon Image | |
| 2 | ATT Image | |
| 3 | Sprint Image | includes special Firmware |
| 4 | T-Mobile Image | |
| 6 | Generic UMTS Image | |
| 7 | Telefonica Image | |
| 8 | Telecom Italia Image | |
| 9 | Orange Image | |
| 12 | DoCoMo Image | includes special Firmware |
| UMTS | Default Firmware | the MD5-sum on the page matches these |
I found this out by reading the ReadMe.rtf, looking into the UQCN.mbn-Files and apply a little bit of thinking.
Now I'll move the files over and try them out.
So I got the Sprint Image with firmware, how does one flash the Gobi with this firmware?
