I have acquired a new modem and set it to use generic firmware and I get the following error: "Selected Carrier(Generic)/ SIM(Verizon) - mismatch"

I'm using APN vzwinternet

Not sure how to get this generic firmware to work with a Verizon SIM

OK I tried flashing without a sim. I opened another window to enter CLI commands and monitored the log. When I would see the "waiting for modem to unplug" message I would issue the command set /control/gpio/POWER_EN_MDM1 0" and the flashing would continue.

While I made progress I ended up getting ...

Now I get

Wed Dec 31st 20:32:19 1969 upgrade WARN Timed out waiting for device pmip8 to replug.
Error durring modem upgrade: Type: <class 'services.utils.upgrade_write.TimeOutError'>, Error:
Wed Dec 31st 20:32:19 1969 upgrade INFO Retrying modem firmware upgrade. Remaining retries: 0

The response is !READY

The reason I wasn't able to see the other three slots must have been browser based. I switched to a different machine and different browser and can now see the list. I inserted the SIM and tried to upgrade the generic FW. Here are the messages from the log so far.

It looks like it's still getting stuck on the Setting Mode(File 1 of 2) message.

and in the system log I see this a lot

Upgrade Info Waiting for modem to replug, unplug (False) and replug (F

Oh yeah, the sim was definitely in it. Should I have pulled it before resetting to OEM?

After resetting to factory settings I get the following:

AT!IMAGE?

Active FW image is at slot 255

OK I deleted the carrier preferences and the only difference now is that the 4 slots I could see in the firmware list is now only Verizon. For some reason that didn't delete. But that's somewhat a good thing because without the slots available on that page there is no way to load new firmware.

But ...

I have done neither of those things.

How do you clear the carrier preferences?

Here are various screen shots from the last attempt. I don't know what to do at this point. I can't get the firmware loaded.

That was very helpful, Yipzy. Thank you.

I have managed to delete the slot that had the generic firmware and the slot with the verizon firmware and am loading the latest firmware build for Generic but I am still running into the same problem of timing out on the "Setting Mode(file 1 of 2)" screen ...

Thanks. Unfortunately, I did all of that before I read your post. How do I delete the firmware?

Also where do I look up the AT commands for my modem?

Sorry about the basic questions, I'm a data guy and only do comms as needed.

I have a CBA850 and need to choose a modem for it. I will be using this in pass-through mode to a unifi USG and it will be used in an RV all over the country.

Which modem should I choose?

Any other recommendations or comments are welcome.

Oh and this is for Verizon service.

Unfortunately I am now unable to upgrade the firmware on my modem. I upgraded to the latest release of the firmware. When that didn't work, I attempted to reset to the OEM version. When that came back up the OS complained about the firmware and OS version being mismatched and now I can't update the ...

I have a cradlepoint CBA850 with an MC400LP6 modem which does not connect to Verizon.

I have used this SIM in a WiFix WE826GO and that works fine after following the information in this thread https://www.wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?p=11112#p11112

Attached are some log entries after a reboot ...

Won't the VPN tunnel bypass both the NAT on the goldenorb router and the CG-NAT of the provider? At that point it doesn't matter that your AP is behind 3 layers of private IPs as the tunnel should have a public IP that punches through all that..


But then it becomes a major pain to try to set up ...

I want to add a Unifi USG and AP to my WiFiX-WE826GO running GoldenOrb_2020-05-16 so I can have a dedicated VPN connection to my home network.

The problem I'm having is figuring out how to put this device in bridge mode, AKA pass through mode.

Do any of you know how to do this? I've been searching ...

Openwrt actually bridges interfaces just fine, it's the rooter scripts that stops the bridge from working. Rooter is just not set up for this feature. If you want a true bridge just dont use rooter. Install your drivers and packages you need to run the modem then just bridge the lan and wan and it ...

This thread has been incredibly helpful. Thanks to everyone who worked on this issue.
