[Shift8] Installation stuck on "sending 'modem_b' "

Howdy folks,

my Shiftphone 8.1 came back home today, fresh from repair at Shift. I download iodé installer to my Bazzite Linux and tried to install it but it seems stuck pretty early. I waited for about an hour and am not sure what to do now. Please take a look at my log file and advice:

Thx in advance,

Update, a few hours later: I restarted my phone, initialized the Google-based installation and reran iodé installer and everything went fine :slight_smile:
