      @rskoniec We haven't received our cat-M1 SIM card yet. Do you think I can try with a regular SIM ?
      In this video tutorial : https://core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/pycom-gpy-fipy-cellular-lte-firmware-update.html
      it seems he hasn't put a sim card in it. Weird. Or the video is a bit outdated maybe.

        @arnaudp I've started a forum chat with you. Can we continue there?

        The machine is working as good as it's code.

            @Xykon When I was helping @ArnaudP to resolve the problem with FiPy modem f/w update (sqnsupgrade.run('/sd/CATM1-version.dup', '/sd/updater.elf')) from initial release, we went this path:

            • upgraded FiPy from 1.10.0.b1 to the latest stable 1.18.1.r4
            • on FiPy 1.18.1.r4 modem f/w upgrade to the newest CATM1-39529 failed
            • on FiPy 1.18.1.r4 modem f/w upgrade to previousCATM1-38638 failed
            • downgraded FiPy from 1.18.1.r4 to 1.18.1.r1
            • on FiPy 1.18.1.r1 modem f/w upgrade to CATM1-38638 successful
            • now I'm waiting for @ArnaudP feedback about modem f/w upgrade to CATM1-39529 on FiPy 1.18.1.r4
            • @ArnaudP has confirmed that after previous step, modem f/w upgrade to CATM1-39529 on FiPy 1.18.1.r4 was successful

            What I've noticed is that updater.elf file in the previous CAT-M1/NB1 releases is the same and with a size of aprox. 300KB, but for the latest they are different for CAT-M1 (420KB) and NB1 (364KB). I've been told by @ArnaudP that he had already sent you a message.

            The machine is working as good as it's code.

                I am on the same page with version r4:

                >>> import os
                >>> from machine import SD
                >>> sd=SD()
                >>> os.mount(sd,'/sd')
                >>> os.listdir('/sd')
                ['upgdiff_38638-to-39529.dup', 'CATM1-39529.dup', 'upgdiff_33080-to-39529.dup', 'updater.elf']
                >>> import sqnsupgrade
                >>> sqnsupgrade.run('/sd/CATM1-39529.dup', '/sd/updater.elf')
                <<< Welcome to the SQN3330 firmware updater [1.2.0] >>>
                >>> FiPy with firmware version 1.18.1.r4

                Received ERROR from AT+SMSWBOOT=0,1! Aborting!

                Please advise on how I may be able to downgrade to 1.18.1.r1, so I may be successful....per post below.

                  @dda Download 1.18.1.r1 from here https://software.pycom.io/downloads/FiPy-1.18.1.r1.tar.gz and downgrade using Pycom Firmware Upate tool with flash from local file option.

                  The machine is working as good as it's code.

                    @arnaudp I've been attempting to update the modem from UART no SD card. Haven't been able to do it.

                      @rskoniec Thanks for these detailed instructions. I've followed them and no longer get the Aborting error, however the process seems to fail:

                      >>> sqnsupgrade.run('/sd/CATM1-38638.dup','/sd/updater.elf')
                      <<< Welcome to the SQN3330 firmware updater >>>

                      Bootrom updated successfully, switching to upgrade mode
                      Attempting AT auto-negotiation...
                      ERROR sending AT command... no response? b''
                      AT auto-negotiation failed! Exiting.
                      Unable to load updater from /sd/updater.elf
                      

                      Any suggestions?

                      Thanks!
