Ya, I’m down to re-install - I’m guessing it’s similar to the pinephone? I had half debated installing manjaro phosh because that’s what ive been using for a long while and my favourite desktops are manjaro - but i do have 2x debians, one a desktop/client and the other is a headless server.
other than installing SSH today so i could run nmcli and a few other troubleshooting ideas, it was stock. I had run apt update/upgrades to ensure i was playing with it up to date as I basically haven’t touched it since it was mailed to me this past July (3-4 years after my order? i forget now).

I found a uuu precompiled binary from here GitHub - nxp-imx/mfgtools: Freescale/NXP I.MX Chip image deploy tools. (manjaro doens’t have an offical package)
and I will get the flash script from here:
Librem5 / librem5-flash-image · GitLab
I’m noticiing that the flash instructions say to ensure your python is up-to-date - but it doesn’t indicate if it’s python 2 or 3. I have 3 installed for building custom android / lineageos roms. will this work? or do i need python2?
By default, the script will assume it’s flashing Evergreen; however, you can pass in the different version to the --board option. Use librem5r2 for Birch and Chestnut series phones, librem5r3 for Dogwood.
I am also unsure of what version i got, but guessing since I ordered early on during the gofundme or whatever that kickstart thing was, i got an evergreen?
my inxi replied r4, so im extra confused
(edit: figured it out here Selling Librem 5 - unsure which batch - #6 by Skalman ). in this helpful post
System: Kernel: 6.6.0-1-librem5 aarch64 bits: 64 Console: tty 1 Distro: PureOS 10 (Byzantium)
Machine: Type: ARM Device System: Purism Librem 5r4 details: N/A
thanks - yes, this was the most helpful response and least condescending
