Also, if I may ask you a favor, could you try to see if the latest Manjaro Plasma Mobile rom (download here) boots for you? Even after having successfully flashed the firmware I never succeeded in getting it working, and it's bugging me since it could be hardware related. Currently I'm using Danct's Arch + Phosh image (version 23-12-'20) and besides the occasional Phosh crash that's been quite stable (and fast!) for me for days now so I'm not sure what's going on with the Manjaro image...
I ordered two boards because I messed up the first order, figured it would get cancelled but it didn't.

I tried pmOS because that was the main distro I was planning to use, but since then I noticed it still seems to have issues with many other OSes. I just tried the plasma image, it boots up, but after unlocking it only stays in the desktop for a few seconds before showing the kde splash animation again and then turns off. Since both of my boards and your board have distro related issues but all the hardware is functional I think this is software related.

It is weird though that pmos didn't work at all on my previous board.
