Running looks like a strong word, based entirely on the thumbnail ;-) I'm not doubting the accuracy of the headline, obviously they're getting this information off the built-in serial port with a VT-100 terminal connected to it.

Halfway through it switches to the phone's own screen, but yeah, looks like it's still receiving commands externally.

I see, but sadly not the same then still using the qualcomm bootloader, but that bootloads U-boot then.

If we could fully replace the qualcomm bootloader we won't get that annoying "the bootloader is unlocked" message on startup.
