> SC9863A and many other SOCs are flashable with Spreadtrum's ResearchDownload Tool. However, Spreadtrum actually does verify the whole boot process, meaning that booting a modified binary is impossible. If you change the boot partition, it will infinitely reboot with a black screen and vibration. If you leave the boot as-is, but change system, it will get to the splash screen and then reboot. etc.
Been there, and I didn't even realised the cause. I'm sorry if my previous comment seemed light hearted, I didn't want it to be so.
- milankragujevic 7y agoI understand fully. I just want to shine light on the problems of consumers loosing control of their devices that they own and paid for. I would understand that a work-provided device has such protections, and spyware, because it's provided for a single purpose, usually under contract. A device that you buy with your own money cannot "hand-wave" the contract (TOS, EULA, Policies, etc), and say it's OK that you don't own your device or your data.
