Copying the sensor data from the downloaded ROM and then flashing (using `edl w persist persist_backup.img`) did not fix the keyboard & rotation for me. I did not remove the directory before copying the stock sensor files into it - so it still contains more files from my backup, not just the files from the stock ROM. Should I remove the directory and replace it with the stock ROM files only?

I'm going to try that later as well. Thanks for the tip.

Sucks 😞 I made a backup of my persist partition and I notice they're just ext4 partitions. I guess copying the right files from one to the other would resolve it. I wonder what happens when you flash the same keys to multiple devices? 🤔

I installed Key Attestation and it shows "Security level: TrustedEnvironment"

After reading more on this, it's starting to sound like I bricked some crucial functionality of a phone I ended up paying 800 euros for, and waited 2.5 years for, on day #1. Is there any chance or recovering from this without case-by-case assistance from f(x)tec? (which seems very unlikely judging by their reputation online)

Same here. I'm just next to the router and barely getting any 5G signal. 2G seems to work better, which is to be expected. Still very poor range on either frequency.

So, I'm in the same boat. I've flashed a recent UT build, didn't work. Then I reset by following these instructions to restore to a booting phone, and to try out SailfishOS instead. On Sailfish, everything seemed to work, apart from the lock screen rotation when flipping out the keyboard bit. Normal rotation worked fine based on the gyroscope, so I didn't really think much of it other than "early community build". After deciding the software ecosystem on SFOS is a bit spartan, I decided to hold out for a more mature, working Ubuntu Touch build for the phone, but go back to Android in

Sounds interesting, I did not flash the persist partition manually (I've only flashed boot_a, system_a, userdata and recovery through flashboot IIRC). I did run the EDL commands provided by @mosen above (on a Mac, if that matters), do those wipe the persist partition? Like I edited above, resetting userdata from fastboot fixed my storage problem, but not the rotation.

I'm trying this but it still is very clumsy & not smooth for me.

I used this to reflash the phone after testing SailfishOS - but now the screen doesn't rotate and it's reporting only 8GB storage. Did I do something wrong? Update: after rebooting into fastboot, and issuing `fastboot erase userdata`, the storage problem seems resolved. But still no rotation or any kind of detection when I slide open the keyboard.

Are that many arriving broken?

Ordered mine through Indiegogo, got it yesterday. Had to pay 138 euro to Fedex for taxes and processing. Phone works fine, no damage or defects. My hinge is very stiff, hard to push open with two thumbs to be honest.
