Fastboot Upgrade Method

fastboot can be called when using '-m 0' (default) and '-m 2'. The difference is at the earlier process of upgrade. The '-m 0' uses sahara to get need boot files however '-m 2' using AT command to come into 'fastboot' mode and then do fastboot upgrade. The '-m 2' will save much more time than '-m 0'.

Firehose Upgrade Method

Users want to upgrade in this way need to remove qcserial module or remove '05c6:9008' from qcserial.c.
