    Is WA2 already included in any flashing files, if so which one should I use?

    The chip is BEKEN BK7231QN40 used in Beken/HLK-B30 WA2
    On the package it says MS-101, the one I got is wifi version but they have RF and wifi+rf versions called MS-101R and MS-101WR.
    It seems some MS-101, from different manufacturers used different chip, so I know there is at least one entry in cloudcutter for that device but it is not for WA2

    It is a no name device but I have seen two posts here mentioning that people worked on WA2 chips and that they are different from N and T.
    It is closer to T but it require changes for it to work. At least that one user said and since then no post about it, no teardowns.
    I know he posted dumps and even flashed the device but it was not working.
    The post is titled "WA2 module BEKEN BK7231QN40 / Beken/HLK-B30 WA2 does not work with openbk7231"
    He posted dumps, and other things he managed to do with it.


    My problem is that idk if it is already included in cloudcutter or not?
    The app is so confusing if you don't know exact file name you want to use.
    It really needs to display files like this:

    | Version | Company name | Model name | Fm version | BK chip name | file name |

    It would make life so much easier. Instead you end up scrolling through nonsense for who knows how long, trying to figure out what you should choose to flash your device. What is even worse the need to relaunch the app if you choose the wrong one (caused by lack of info mentioned above).

    Anyway, any info about WA2 would be helpful.
    Preferable I would be inclined toward OTA update, if possible but beggars can't be choosers.
    Is any currently available image suitable for WA2?

    There is no currently known method for compiling flash with WiFi support that chip. The website you've found is misleading.

    Maybe we could try compiling ALIos for that, and then porting OBK.

    Collecting 2MB Flash dumps from that kind of modules may help.

    Still, please let's stick to the WA2 topic here:

    Otherwise having two threads may be hard to follow. I will close this topic for now.
    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.
