Firmware
Firmware is located on modem partition in the device, but some files which are required to tinker with Wi-Fi are on android system partition in /etc/ directory.
After adding audio firmware, aplay detects a sound card. I've done some work to convert mixer_paths.xml to Alsa UCM but without success.
