Btw my device is qualcom, with decent platform support already;
I dont think RE this stuff would take years and some of us enjoy the pain anyways.
My device thread is here, but i suspect some firmware blobs need to be extracted and I cant find a lot of help searching the forum. My next steps would be to go look at some of the blobs extracted from similar devices by other people and try find some kind of signature or something, but since many people have done this successfully, youd think more info is available here regarding this
