    @0ops @MigratingtoLemmy I heard this had something to do with one of the owners of the company leaving and starting his own phone company which left the other guy who didn’t really care about the modder community.

    This is just what I remember so its prob not 100% accurate

      You’re talking about the Nothing Line of mobiles. So maybe they take over as the custom ROM favourite in the US? Who knows.

      I do not see why this is a problem though; I just found instructions on how to unbrick a OnePlus 11 device with fastboot. Why has this stopped development?

        What you’ll find out after you go down that rabbit hole is maybe the instructions work, maybe they don’t. Worse, they’ll point to links to 3rd parties that will charge you to use their tools.

        I spent two weeks with an N20 trying to root it and gave up after hitting a batch of files with really ugly viruses. I gave up after I got it factory reset, but the cell radio wouldn’t work. It was just obscure problem, virus, scam, obscure problem…over and over.

        It’s the first time where I’ve hit that level of scamminess in the modding community and a total lack of support from the manufacturer.
