If lsusb does not list the modem I think you may need to follow these instructions:

https://github.com/Biktorgj/quectel_eg25...est-points

Then, avoid 30.202. I flashed 01.003 which is enough good for me.
Qfirehose in my case (mobian bookworm) ran perfectly.

scour the git for the ADB modem reset and reboot commands, also the reset/reboot using the hardware switch or just try full shutdown, remove battery, and bootup, I have never needed the shorted pads fix.
The good news I have never seen anyone on the forum hard-brick a modem, even the PPpro post firmware still lets you do the rebuild checklist.
dont worry, chill, have a drink,do a round of your tank game, watch a video, re-read the instructions and you will get it done.Like I said,most everyone who has a PPpro has had to rebuild the modem firmware if they try flashing the open(partly) firmware because of the bug.
Also remember to use sudo su to run ADB, scripts, and fastboot commands needed to reboot and reset the modem to prepare flashing.  You have this, no stress at all.
