FP3 custom rom development based on released source code

TWRP is linux based and needs a device tree configuration to boot. (Basically tells Linux device drivers which periphery chip is connected to which pin/bus of the CPU)
Technically, we already have the device tree, - although its a bit cryptic - it came with the open source kernel, but the bootloader doesn’t accept it. Keeps saying “dtb not found” regardless what kernel and device config you give it. That’s also what you get when you try to boot TWRP.
Aside that only first generation FP3s are even unlockable without hazzle. Any updated phone needs a code, for which someone had to actually reverse engineer some of fairphones proprietary software extensions. Not exactly what you’d expect from a “fair” phone.
