[Quarnero]

We tried to flash it but during the process when we put in the battery the LED turns GREEN when it shouldn’t according to the protocoll.

Is it constant red LED light still available after folowing this procedure (and executing sudo dmesg):

The way to guarantee the phone gets to serial download mode.

1. unplug phone and remove battery
2. hold vol+ and re-insert battery
3. while still holding vol+ plug in the USB cable connected to the laptop

run dmesg on the laptop and it should show that an NXP device has been connected.

Please check as well: “A flashing green light is a symptom of the bootloader starting followed by a reset as a result of insufficient power.” Commenting about insufficient power here just while using another USB port on your laptop/computer might/should help. Also, are you sure that used USB cable provides enough current to your Librem 5 from there used USB port, as some USB cables use higher AWG value (increasing gauge numbers denote decreasing wire diameters)?

P.S. As add-on, not even sure if Thunderbolt USB-C cables usable with Librem 5, if such cable/port connected?
