PinePhone and PinePhone Pro
The PinePhone and PinePhone Pro both use a Qualcomm mdm9607 modem as part of their Quectel EG25-G LTE module. The EG25-G has global LTE band support and contains a GNSS positioning module. Rayhunter does not currently make direct use of GNSS.
The modem is fully capable of running Rayhunter, but lacks both a screen and a network connection. The modem exposes an AT interface that can enable adb.
Hardware
Supported bands
| Band | Frequency |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2100 MHz (IMT) |

| 3 | 1800 MHz (DCS) |
| 4 | 1700 MHz (AWS-1) |
| 5 | 850 MHz (CLR) |
| 7 | 2600 MHz (IMT-E) |
| 8 | 900 MHz (E-GSM) |
| 12 | 700 MHz (LSMH) |
| 13 | 700 MHz (USMH) |
| 18 | 850 MHz (LSMH) |

| 39 | 850 MHz (E-CLR) |
| 40 | 2300 MHz (S-Band) |
| 41 | 2500 MHz (BRS) |
Note that the Quectel EG25-G does not support LTE band 48 (CBRS 3500MHz), used in the US for unlicensed 4G/5G connectivity.
Installing
Download and extract the installer on a shell on the PinePhone itself. Unlike other Rayhunter installers, this has to be run on the device itself. Then run:
./installer pinephone
Accessing Rayhunter
Because the modem does not have its own display or network interface, Rayhunter is only accessible on the pinephone by forwarding tcp over adb.
adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080
Shell access
Use this command to enable adb access:
./installer util pinephone-start-adb
adb shell
Power saving (disable adb)
The modem won't be able to sleep (power save) with adb enabled, even if Rayhunter is stopped. Disable adb with the following command:
./installer util pinephone-stop-adb
