Good news. It has been done.
I am not at a computer currently but essentially what people in the Pro¹ Telegram group did is to copy the whole Data folder from the persist backup to the stock persist image.
Will be able to test later today.I'm going to try that later as well. Thanks for the tip.

I guess I broke it on mine. I flashed the persist.img from the stock rom archive in order to bring back rotation and keyboard backlight*, which worked. However, I get "Not supported by this device" from the Key Attestation app.
*) I thought I had already wiped my persist at that point by installing Ubuntu and Sailfish, but apparently that wasn't the case. Bummer.
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? 🤔

And it does not really help to state, but the Hardware Key Attestation is very rarely used by any apps currently.
On the Pro¹ X i lost the keys on, SafteyNet still works when locking the bootloader. Did not try Gpay or such however.
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 the mean time. Now I have no rotation, neither from sliding out the keyboard or tilting the phone. It does detect the slide mechanism, because it lights up the display. According to the software, it seems it thinks the keyboard is always active, because it never shows the virtual onscreen keyboard.
I really hope this is recoverable. I would hate to have waited 2.5 years for this phone, only to receive it with a slower SoC and brick a crucial feature of the phone on day #1.

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.

It is NOT a push parallel to the screen.
Please see thisI'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.

Congrats for getting a working one.
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.

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?
