Ge0rG🧵1/X Unboxing the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/MSM8916" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MSM8916</a> based M9S-E LCD Modem WiFi ("5G", but not really)After the huge success of Debian on the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/OpenStick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenStick</a> LTE USB dongle three years ago, I wondered if you can still get MSM8916-based LTE routers to run Debian on.

Fasten your seatbelts to see how it works (and how it doesn't).<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ReverseEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReverseEngineering</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Qualcomm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Qualcomm</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a>
