2024-02-23 1557 -0500 I've traveled to a public place (i tried a new one, it's a little awkward where i found) and set up some. My goal: try to use the mediatek bootrom reset information I've gleaned to make progress on one of my broken phones. I've brought the newest one where likely the problem is that i flashed a software/emmc bootrom from a device with a different id. I want to try grounding KCOL0. It's not labeled on my device so I'll look for conductivity in the power buttons. I've bought a multimeter but not a soldering iron. Instead I'm going to see if I can tape the wire on. Might not work. But at least maybe I can find KCOL0 ! It's a cheap analog multimeter. 1600. Sadly I've run into an issue right off the bat. The screwdriver I have only goes down to PH1 which is too big for the screws on the phone. I crossed my memories of opening it in the past, they must have been from before I got this screwdriver. It seems I'll need to get a smaller one (or go somewhere with screwdrivers). Apologies !!!!! !!!!!!!!!! It was pretty hard to get here. I hope I try to do this again ! I'm so close!
