+Bootloader
See Bootloader page
The Bootloader can be unlocked using PotatoNV.
TODO: There's a bootloader unlock guide on XDA developers, which doesn't involve buying any unlocking software or disassembling the device. See if this still works, and maybe figure out an alternative way to root the device instead of KingoRoot?
Installation
Flashing rootfs may not work, use sideload.
Mainline status and components
It may be possible to mainline this device, as its SoC is supported in the mainline kernel.
TODO: This is just guessed from the defconfig, try to figure out the mess of DTSIs and see which parts are actually used |
