Debug log from: /usr/sbin/ModemManager --log-file=/var/log/mm.log --log-level=DEBUG

Description of problem:
I can't use the builtin Sierra EM7455 modem. It seems like the device is recognised, but I get very generic error messages when trying to use it. When I try to connect via NetworkManager nothing happens at all, no error message or nothing. Via CLI I get this:

# mmcli -m 0 --simple-connect="apn=services.telenor.se"
error: couldn't connect the modem: 'GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.libmbim.Error.Status.Failure: Failure'


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mmcli 1.6.0

How reproducible:
Try to connect, nothing happens

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert SIM
2. Specify APN
3. Try to connect

Actual results:
Nothing happens

Expected results:
I expect to at least see an error message telling me what's wrong

Comment 1 Dan Williams 2016-09-26 15:47:59 UTC 
Looks like issues related to FCCAuth that newer Sierra modems require.  ModemManager is attempting to enable the modem (bring it to full power mode for connection) but it cannot do that because the modem reports failure.  When this happens, can you run and get the output of:

sudo mbimcli -v -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --query-radio-state

sudo mbimcli -v -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --set-radio-state=on
Comment 2 independence 2016-09-26 16:00:36 UTC 
Thanks for the quick reply :)
I tried connecting again and then ran the commands right after:
[root@joma03-fedora ~]# mbimcli -v -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --query-radio-state

How about:

sudo qmicli -p -v -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-mbim --dms-set-fcc-authentication
Comment 4 Dan Williams 2016-09-26 16:23:02 UTC 
And then after that, again with:

sudo mbimcli -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --query-radio-state

Couldn't set FCC authentication something:

Comment 10 Dan Williams 2016-09-27 15:13:33 UTC 
We should dig a bit further to figure out if there's a firmware mismatch in the module.  To do that, we need to switch the device to QMI mode:

cd -P /sys/class/usbmisc/cdc-wdm0/device/../
echo "1" > bConfigurationValue

then wait about 10 seconds for the module to appear.  You should now get a new cdc-wdm0 plus three ttyUSBx devices.  Run minicom on the third one:

minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2

and then enter these commands and report the result:

AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT!PRIID?
AT!GOBIIMPREF?

to get out of minicom, hit <CTRL>+A, then Z, then hit return to exit without reset.
Comment 11 independence 2016-09-27 15:32:36 UTC 
Hm, sorry I can't seem to get it to work. The bConfigurationValue was already set to 1, and nothing much happens when I echo 1 to it again. I don't get any /dev/ttyUSB* devices

dmesg after I run the echo command:

Ok, interesting.  Can you grab "lsusb -v -d <vid>:<pid>" (where you replace vid/pid with the numbers from your module) output and attach it?  It may be that the EM7455 doesn't expose multiple USB configurations and thus we can't get an AT port like we can with the EM7355.

Comment 16 Dan Williams 2016-09-27 18:37:07 UTC 
It looks like you don't have a PRI selected, which can cause the firmware to refuse to power up.  Had you plugged this modem into a Windows machine or played around with firmware updates at all?

The PRI unique ID is translates to "002.004_000", so we'd need to select that with:

qmicli -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-mbim --dms-set-firmware-preference=02.08.02.00,002.004_000,GENERIC
qmicli -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-mbim --dms-set-operating-mode=offline
qmicli -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-mbim --dms-set-operating-mode=reset

and then wait until the modem comes back and try:

qmicli -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-mbim --dms-get-operating-mode


The only problem is that F24's version of libqmi doesn't support --dms-set-firmware-preference, because that command isn't in a libqmi release yet :(  We might be able to do a custom build of libqmi which you can test, but I can't do that today or tomorrow.
Comment 17 independence 2016-09-27 18:54:54 UTC 
Oh, ok. No, I never booted Windows fully on this machine and the firmware is stock. I'm guessing I'll need Windows to update the firmware too, which is a hassle.
Yeah, as you said I don't seem to have that option in my qmicli. Is that version available in rawhide, and if so could I get the rawhide version of just that particular package on my machine?
Thanks so much for your help so far, seems like are making some progress at least :)
Comment 18 Dan Williams 2016-09-27 19:12:15 UTC 
Yeah, it may be that on first boot Windows and the Sierra drivers will fix up the firmware image mismatch for you automatically.

There is some work going on for libqmi to allow firmware updating, but it's not quite finished yet.  But I'm hopeful your device can become operational by selecting the right PRI.

Try installing these libqmi packages:

wget http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/libqmi-1.17.0-0.1.fc26.x86_64.rpm
wget http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/libqmi-utils-1.17.0-0.1.fc26.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uhv libqmi*.rpm

and then do the --dms-set-firmware-preference dance I listed above.  If for some reason that doesn't get things working, grab the output of --dms-list-stored-images so we can see what happened.
Comment 19 independence 2016-09-27 19:32:11 UTC

Glad to hear its working now!  Thanks for sticking with this and the quick turnaround time, I'm sure others will experience this same issue and now we know what to do.
Comment 21 Jethro Beekman 2016-11-21 06:36:49 UTC 
I had the same issue on the same hardware.

However, I never booted into Windows and it worked fine from the start. That is, until I did boot into Windows after which I did run into this.

My PRI unique ID was different:

		Unique ID:     '30:30:32:2E:30:30:37:5F:30:30:30:00:00:00:00:00'

I changed the set-firmware-preference parameter accordingly (note that the output above is simply a hex-encoded version of the ASCII string you need to supply) and ran it with a git master build of libqmi. Everything works fine again! Thanks for the detailed debugging procedure.
