Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / Rooting the Cosmo Communicator

These steps do work, I had to update my ADB Fastboot Driver to get the bootloader to unlock (curse words happened during that process). I don't want to provide the source of the updated driver in case the source I used is not altruistic.
Now, I wait for someone knowledgeable and/or brave enough to make a new scatter file with an empty partition to add some Linux spice to my device. I wonder if PC will host a partition tool before the community provides and figures out the key combos.
I imagine PC doesn't want to open the floodgates so they can focus on general support first. Their undertaking is not a small feat even at 4000. Imagine the possibility of having 4000 hungry infants to feed at once with only a few baby feeding bottles, YIKES!
I'm pretty sure since bootloader is unlocked NFC payments are out of the question since the device is "untrusted", it is possible your banking apps may no run on it post bootloader unlock since you broke the trust (if the app checks for that sort of thing). This is something to consider before unlocking ("tampering") with bootloader, you know your use case.
I might be wrong but thought I'd throw that last bit out there since no one else mentioned it. An LG Watch I had became ineligible for NFC payment until I reverted it back to "natural" state and Samsung has Knox, all the same principal, and I could be wrong.
Time to tame battery drain. My Gemini has a lot more stamina than Cosmo ATM (what are others using for power mgmt and background process control these days?? That is another question for another subforum).
BTW, hi; I'm new here, thanks for allowing me to fly the OESF skies!
