microSD cardreader not working

Kinda sad to hear that. I will be careful with future removals of my sim card then. SIM still functions but my sd card reader shows only the above in disks. I am going to do a fresh reinstall just out of curiosity.

Is it possible to purchase a replacement board at the moment or are there backlogs that would prevent that from happening you think?

I would like to report back after a fresh LUKS image install. That my SD card reader is indeed dead, tested with 3 different microsd cards. That’s ok, not a huge loss, but unfortunate that can happen if hotswapped.

After a fresh install I can confirm the above statement. the Composite Gadget doesn’t exist from using lsusb.

There could be some confusion as to whether this command is issued on the desktop/laptop host into which the Librem 5 is plugged via USB or this command is issued on the phone itself.

You would have to ask Purism’s support about that.

I only use pico for phone img reinstalls.
This is done directly from the phones terminal.

Then I think you have misunderstood (for sure one of us has! :wink:).

On my phone, lsusb gives among other things

Bus 999 Device 999: ID 0424:4041 Standard Microsystems Corp. Hub and media card controller

where of course the Bus number and the Device number will be different on your phone.

lsusb -v -s n:m (where n and m are replaced by the bus and device numbers respectively) will show a Generic Ultra Fast Media Reader implementing the Mass Storage class interface.

I do have a uSD card inserted. I don’t know whether the output differs if no card is inserted or if the card reader believes that no card is inserted.

I’m having the same issue apparently. Was there ever a solution?
