I got this PDF from Purism support when I wanted to upgrade my modem’s firmware to support VoLTE. Is that what you’re looking for?

Thanks! This explains where this desktop icon came from and why I can’t find the pkg with apt search .... It seems that I did the same nearly a year ago, because I have these files in my L5:

purism@pureos:~$ ls -l guru/BM818-reflash
total 91000
-rw-r--r-- 1 purism purism 93163052 Mar 27  2023 firmware-bm818-nonfree_0.6pureos1+librem5ci83034.2dcae67_arm64.deb

-rw-r--r-- 1 purism purism     3666 Apr 18  2023 reflashModem.txt

The txt file is a cut&paste of the commands I issued and their output. With the date April 18, 2023 I also found the PDF file in my mbox from/to puri.sm

Thanks

dpkg -S flash_bm818.desktop should tell you the package if it’s coming from a package.
