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 :)

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...
