So a fully open-source phone is now feasible given friendly hardware? I thought replacing the baseband was much farther away.

- pabs3 8y agoThe Osmocom project created a GSM baseband codebase already (but it isn't useful for end-users): https://osmocom.org/projects/baseband/ https://osmocom.org/projects/baseband/ There are LTE modems that run Linux, theoretically the code that runs on them could be rewritten from scratch: https://osmocom.org/projects/quectel-modems/ https://osmocom.org/projects/quectel-modems/ In addition there have been many baseband exploits over the years, those could be used to gain access to basebands and reverse engineer everything.
