Today I upgraded my pmOS on pinephone after many months of not doing so. Everything is fine except my modem no longer works. Seems fine in dmesg, but nmcli d shows the network device as “unavailable” and mmcli -L shows either no modem or shows modem of unknown manufacturer, so not detecting the modem correctly.

If I boot into the postmarketOS on my emmc (the one that came with the device, it is postmarketOS CE and I always boot sdcard) then the modem works, so not a hardware issue.

Any ideas what I should try? Some package I should reinstall or reconfigure or similar?

    Sorry to hear that.

    Maybe that’s the problem? From pinephone faq:

    In order to use the modem and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, you need to ensure the battery is inside the device and has a sufficient charge. Even when supplying the phone with enough power, the modem and Wi-Fi chip will not work without a connected battery. Further, double check that you have not put the SD card into the sim card slot, or vice versa.

    If that’s not the problem, please create an issue here and fill out all information of the template: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues

    FWIW, I run pmOS edge on the pinephone with latest updates and calls work for me.
