  Sometimes it’s doable, but YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO!

    Not easily anyway. Probably if you could do it at a hardware level, but manufacturers have been making it harder and harder to even get the dang thing open, and every model and revision would require intense research just to prove it out.

      Theres online tutorials but they are VERY specific on each phone, sometimes serial numbers are what you have to look up. It sucks and is more likely to brick your phone than anything else.

        Yeah. And if nobody’s done your specific model, you’re all the way out of luck.
