Warning WARNING: There’s no guarantee that the unlocking services listed below are safe to use.
Warning WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it.
Note This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way.
This device is marked as not booting.
