Trying to unlock phones' bootloaders without having a working display to manually check the oem unlocking switch - fl42v/bootloader_unlocking_experiments

Just thought I’d share. Probably nothing new or fancy, but may help some of you find a way to repurpose devices that aren’t worth repairing into home servers or something: e.g. op5 I’ve used has better CPU compared to raspberry pi 4, can run linux (postmarketos, albeit with some caveats), and costs less if bought with broken display (or nothing if you have one lying around)

    Could’ve used something like this for my Nokia which became unusable because of a small crack in the screen and a broken USB port. Those fuckers glued the screen on instead of having some convenient screws in the back. So in order to switch out the 5 € port I had to try to remove the 120 € screen which didn’t survive because of a tiny crack.
