Searching for hackers (hacker: anyone that likes making technology do what wasn't intended) to build a community for jailbreaking MR headsets

Chat anyone interested in glitching Mixed Reality headsets ? I'm trying to build a community so we can get something done, as there's a bunch of folks that wanna charge money for it and I don't really like that idea x3.

The main SoC is XR2 by Qualcomm, it is an ARM SoC, and most of the headsets run very locked-down Android.

The goal here is to try to jailbreak it so we can run custom, fully open source software on it, possibly even mainline drivers to Linux and run something like #postmarketos :)

Unfortunately I am a systems hacker, I am hopeless when it comes to electric engineering anything, so I cannot actually pull off glitching myself. I can help with the stuff that comes after, such as mainlining drivers, though :)

IRC #xrbreak on oftc
Matrix: #xrbreak:itycodes.org
Discord: https://discord.gg/HeDAg3Ma7A

Please boost! Let's build an open and accessible community!

Any help is appreciated, no information is useless! If you would be interested in helping, we need anyone with, including BUT NOT LIMITED TO

• MR headsets for testing
• Electrical engineering knowledge
• Ability to design or assemble PCBs
• Reading ARM disassembles to try to find a glitch point or a bootrom exploit or w/e
• General experience with hacking embedded devices
• Experience with Linux or Android security for rooting
• Anyone with info about TEE/TrustZone (kexecing mainline kernel from rooted Android)
• Contacts to folks that have any of the above
• Experience managing communities and setting up bridges, wikis...

Flare version 0.16.0 was released. This release adds supports for stickers.

As the last post about Flare is already over a year old, there were 19 other releases in the meantime. None of them is specifically noteworthy (which is why they were not announced), but together they squash a lot of bugs making Flare overall more reliable and usable. If you already tried Flare once, but ditched it due to reliability issues, now is the best time to try again.

Version 0.2 of my eSIM Manager app is out!

We've got significant UI improvements alongside many other additions such as an app icon, providing environment variables for lpac via the command line, error handling, eUICC 'notification' handling, viewing of eUICC chip info and appstream metainfo data!

I'll be talking about #postmarketOS at the next Portland Linux/Unix Group (PLUG) meeting on Thursday April 3rd, come on down if you're in the area 😁

Nice, just a small fix and #phosh's compositor #phoc runs with #wlroots #vulkan renderer on the OnePlus6T. This needs some more work regarding e.g. alpha blending but it's already usable.
