It's a 4G Cat.20 router used by Vodafone Italy (called Vodafone FWA)
and Vodafone DE\T-Mobile PL (called GigaCube).
Modem is a MiniPCIe-to-USB based on Snapdragon X24,
it supports 4CA aggregation.
There are currently two hardware revisions, which
differ on the 5Ghz radio:
AT1 = QCA9984 5Ghz Radio on PCI-E bus
AT2 = IPQ4019 5Ghz Radio inside IPQ4019 like 2.4Ghz

Installation
------------
1. Place OpenWrt initramfs image for the device on a TFTP
in the server's root. This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial connector
GND (which is right next to the thing with MF289F MIMO-V1.0), RX, TX
(refer to this image: https://ibb.co/31Gngpr).
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4. Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
setenv serverip 192.168.0.2
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.1
set fdt_high 0x85000000
tftp openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-zte_mf289f-initramfs-fit-zImage.itb
bootm $loadaddr
5. Please make backup of original partitions, if you think about revert to
stock, specially mtd16 (Web UI) and mtd17 (rootFS).
Use /tmp as temporary storage and do:
WEB PARITION
--------------------------------------
cat /dev/mtd16 > /tmp/mtd16.bin
scp /tmp/mtd16.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd16.bin
ROOT PARITION
--------------------------------------
cat /dev/mtd17 > /tmp/mtd17.bin
scp /tmp/mtd17.bin root@YOURSERVERIP:/
rm /tmp/mtd17.bin
6. Login via ssh or serial and remove stock partitions
(default IP 192.168.0.1):
# this can return an error, if ubi was attached before
# or rootfs part was erased before.
ubiattach -m 17
# it could return error if rootfs part was erased before
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
# some devices doesn't have it
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs_data
7. download and install image via sysupgrade -n
(either use wget/scp to copy the mf289f's squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
to the device's /tmp directory)
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-...-zte_mf289f-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Sometimes it could print ubi attach error, but please ignore it
if process goes forward.

Back to Stock (!!! need original dump taken from initramfs !!!)
-------------
1. Place mtd16.bin and mtd17.bin initramfs image
for the device on a TFTP in the server's root.
This example uses Server IP: 192.168.0.2
2. Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to serial console
connector (refer to the pin-out from above).
3. Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port (WAN/LAN1).
4. rename mtd16.bin to web.img and mtd17.bin to root_uImage_s
5. Stop in u-Boot (using ESC button) and run u-Boot commands:
This will erase RootFS+Web:
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
This will restore RootFS:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}root_uImage_s
nand erase 0x1800000 0x1D00000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1800000 $filesize
This will restore Web Interface:
tftpboot 0x84000000 ${dir}web.img
nand erase 0x1000000 0x800000
nand write $fileaddr 0x1000000 $filesize
After first boot on stock firwmare, do a factory reset.
Push reset button for 5 seconds so all parameters will
be reverted to the one printed on label on bottom of the router

(Warning: commit message did not conform to UTF-8 - hopefully fixed?,
added description of the pin-out if image goes down, reformatted
commit message to be hopefully somewhat readable on git-web,
redid some of the gpio-buttons & leds DT nodes, etc.)
