Jailbreak echo show 11, don't do it!
I don't go into detail why I don't use the echo show 11, but it is one of the worst products that I have bought ever. Thinking of that, I deceide to jailbreak it. I have some experience in that field and even if I break it, it is no loss, because I don't use it anyway.
To access the OS is not possible, because it has a jack which resambles a rj-45 on the outside, but with a 3x3 golden square contacts for attaching. Never seen one like this. I deceided to open it.
Disasembling the box is not difficult, you need a couple of thorx screwdrivers T5 and so on. But, when you want to access the printplate where the processor is, you need to remove the screen.
This is glued very tight and in trying that, the screens splashed like a carwindow which is hit by a rock.
I also found out that the chip is an Amazon AZ3 Pro.
I also realize that even when my screen was not shattered, doing something with de echo was for me not possible.
