the reverse order of posts is one thing non-intuitive for me

You can change the "Sort by" at the bottom of the screen and the forum should remember that as long as you are logged in.

@xykon I used Filezilla to upload the 33080-to-395289 diff file to /flash. Then i executed the import sqnsupgrade and .run. It says attempting AT Wakeup... then session opened: version 1 max transfer 8192 bytes. sending 1211459 bytes: then it just pauses. Not sure whats going on. I have the v1.18.1.r4 firmware on my device but never upgrade the Sqns firmware before.

Everytime Filezilla tries to upload upgdiff_33080-to-39529.dup to the gpy it crashes once the file size gets to 786,432 The cert, lib & sys folders are all empty so I can't figure out why we're hitting a wall? New modem firmware is scary enough without trying the sd card route, I was really hoping to do it from the onboard flash.

Does this give anyone a clue as to why it always stops after 786432 bytes?

More than 1 way to skin a cat! Renamed upgdiff_33080-to-39529.dup to upgdiff_33080-to-39529.py, uploaded it via the upload button in atom, used Filezilla to change the extension back to .dup in the gpy flash then upgraded the modem.

I have just attempted to upgrade a new module to the modem firmware.
But I get the error statement, I have no idea what it refers to.
any ideas?

Do you know the firmware version of the modem when you started the upgrade? Which MicroPython firmware did you use? And which firmware upgrade file / method did you use to upgrade the modem?
