Risk assessment
• Device initial provisioning workflows may require review or adjustment to account for the presence of a bootstrap profile
• Installation procedures or automated deployment tools may need to be updated if they rely on predefined SIM behavior
• Automatic SIM switching will be enabled only on devices shipped with a pre-installed bootstrap profile — existing devices with eSIM but no bootstrap profile will not exhibit any behavioral changes
• Devices manufactured over 12 months prior to activation may be unable to use the bootstrap profile due to expiration

2025.02.24: Implementation of Read-Only System Files in RutOS 7.14
With the release of RutOS version 7.14 in Q2 2025, in RUTC50 devices will implement read-only permissions for critical system files by default. The new read-only configuration ensures a more secure and stable environment, though it may affect those who perform non-standard operations.
With the release of RutOS version 7.14, the device’s critical system files will become read-only by default. This prevents unauthorized or accidental modifications that could damage the system’s integrity. Standard users operating within typical parameters should not be affected, while those who rely on direct file alterations will need to adjust their workflows. Custom firmware options are expected to allow reverting to a more flexible configuration if required.
Change reasons
To maintain system integrity, enhance reliability, and prevent unintended damage to core files.
