previously, i would tap or swipe part of the screen, and it would
register touches elsewhere, and it was impossible to do anything
it just does what i say to do now
it is like having palsy and having it go away
none of the images with, like, an app store on them, fit on the partition
given there is read/write access to the whole flash, it could be
repartitioned. the userdata partition is much larger than the system
partition, and with an open rom userdata could be moved entirely to a

these lines explain a lot of how the mediatek exploit i was reviewing

CMD_READ16 0xa2Read data from the SoC memory (16 bit length parameter)
CMD_WRITE16 0xd2Write data into SoC memory (16 bit length parameter)
CMD_READ32 0xd1Read
these commands are apparently documented for the mediatek preloader
here:
http://www.lieberbiber.de/2015/07/04/mediatek-details-partitions-and-preloader/
!
i'm not certain yet whether that means that this unisoc chipset is
based on mediatek, or if it is some shared thing that both use.
so, i tried booting up the mediatek flasher, to see if it would do
anytihng, and ran into the same issue i ran into with the unisoc
flasher: it refuses to run unless you provide it with a partition map
in advance, and i haven't found a factory image for this phone yet.
_however_, i know from

access its flash storage internally [it would be great to pick up the

around that goal, so it seems a separate thing]
the oem command does not work on this phone. i did find at

"Reboot to bootloader" places it into the same-looking system as the
unihertz titan, where it is waiting for commands from fastboot.
