Facing the same issue on Fedora 40. I tried to reset the device by pressing the button inside the sim holder. The screen turns on briefly ( the rabbit running on the treadmill) , but the script is just stuck at that. Not sure how to get to access the fast boot of the device.

I solved the issue you're facing by starting the script as root just after python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt and it proceeded forward, although now i'm stuck in this other issue.

To fix the current issue you may either restore the stock or if you followed this guide you may restore your own backup once the device is powered down.
