WIFI not available after anx7688 update failure

[frimmel]

I am not sure I understand your suggestion. Should I try using an older firmware version for anx7688

I'm not technical either, just suggesting ideas. I see a couple versions but try reflashing the latest one first.

I now tried booting from the postmarket factory test image. Test results (multiple tries, same result):
"RTL8723CS"    failed
EG25                no modem

Cameras, usb etc works (the computer can see the pine64 pinephone). The wifi and modem fails as usual.

I assume either the modem *is* broken or the proprietary firmware was somehow wiped during firmware flashing. I cannot find any information on flashing the RTL8723CS firmware (if at all possible) so I cannot try that.

I have now switched back to the old mainboard, which works, as I cannot be in limbo forever. I guess I must return the new main board as if I do continue to switch boards I will end up breaking the cables. However, I really need the OTG so I guess in the end I must take the risk fixing the old main board.

Anyway, thanks for all suggestions.
