Very well done! In terms of disassembly, how long did it take to get everything apart?

Jacob Mehnert - Antwoord

definitely no longer than 10 mins, even shorter if you are only going in to access the serial port for flashing a custom firmware

Lewis L. Foster -

Great information, thank you for doing this! Did I see a proprietary antenna connector and no ts9?

Courtney Glenn - Antwoord

Not really clued up on my antennas so not sure
