PSA
I recently got some reports of issues in the PinePhone Pro modem,all recently purchased. Symptoms are corrupted IMEI, unable to exit Factory Test Mode (FTM) and ModemManager complaining that the "Device is not ready". I have a fix for that, but I thought I'd share some details on what is going on.

@nitrokey@social.nitrokey.com @chrichri@social.librem.one @martijnbraam@fosstodon.org The problem is, your phone has the same binaries for izat as everyone with a qualcomm from Alcatel to ZTE. And it's OK,this is all part of Qcom SDK and unless you RE'ng all of it you must keep it in place so the phone works as a phone.But accusing others with something that their ODM/OEM provides when you are using the same stuff seems unethical.
