No sign on UART, it’s mute.. 
That's what you meant by console, duh!
Yeah, then it becomes complicated.
Have you tried swapping RX and TX in UART?

yes, but It was working on first attempt, then the internal RG500 module, after a firmware update was stuck in 9008 mode, and from there no way to bring it up again
You can try using "qfirehose" if you can still access the console to do module rescue.
Did you attempt to do a modem firmware update and failed?
There was an update, it went fine using fire but the the RG500 start to reboot itself between 9008 and fastboot.
But now if you try to power the router get only those two blue led and nothing else. It’s also difficult to test only IPQ80xx parts because power is on the 5G modem board
There is also no USB ports to access the RG500 and try to restore it over EDL
If anybody knows a vendor that sells/ships these to the EU - I am interested 
All the aliexpress sellers don't ship to the EU and I couldn't find any localy.
So many conflicting posts from people which English is either 2nd or third language that sysupgrade is possible through web interface, then they ask about debricking. I'm assuming that sysupgrade to either rooter or openwrt snapshots from QWRT luci interface or by lan with putty are not possible and result in softbrick, am I right or specif versions work?
@frauhottelmann there are two sellers on aliexpress that ship to EU.
When in doubt, follow the git commit.

I've been going back and forth on QWRT and my Openwrt builds using sysupgrade but I haven't encountered getting bricked those times.
For debricking you'll need to have UART cable ready, serial console and use TFTP to boot the initramfs image and flash working firmware as stated by the link @frollic
The procedure for debricking other routers should be the same, just don't use the 5v out pin of the cable.
Has anyone managed to get wwan working on a nss build?
Only managed to get wwan working on ROOter/GoldenOrb.
Yes, I am running on NSS build, using either QMI, MBIM and ModemManager, you can also manage the modem using modem extra packages from https://github.com/4IceG

Hello,
Could you kindly reupload the file again?
Both the OpenWrt and QWRT links seem to be showing as "Sharing has expired".
I'm particularly interested in trying out the QWRT firmware.
If anyone could share a working link, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
I can send you mine later when I got home from office 
Edit: here you go - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1usURiHdAfv3vCQ8TEwVfYPIbVrwSiuVP?usp=drive_link
how to flash: upload the file to /tmp via SCP or SFTP then flash it using sysupgrade
sysupgrade -f /tmp/*qwrt file*
Did anyone have luck getting into the debug port of the 5G module? Been looking into it but even quectel forums cannot give me favorable answers.
Thank you so much for sharing the link and the instructions! I really appreciate it. Since I'm new to this, could you provide more detailed instructions on how to install the firmware? Currently, I'm using the Telstra stock firmware. Thanks again for your help!
if that's the case, you'll need to start by flashing the initramfs image from the openwrt snapshot.
on top of that, you'll need to dismantle the router, get a uart cable to access the serial console, and setup tftp to flash it.
For the uart cable, is this cable will work to access the serial console?

Haven't used that specific cable but the 4 pinned one should do you just fine
Thank you! I'll purchase that 4 pinned cable now. Could you please advise me on where to get the file and how to flash the initramfs image from the OpenWRT snapshot?
