Possible additional costs

  • Check whether the existing device, power supply, storage and connection accessories are sufficient for the exact model.

Prices have not been checked. An open-source license does not make hardware, hosting, electricity or cloud services free.

Risks and recovery

Data-loss risk: Possible; Bricking risk: Possible. Route-based guidance, not hardware-tested; these outcomes are not inevitable for every device.

The README describes a failsafe emergency shell. It cannot be assumed to recover every boot failure.

An unarchived repository or recent push does not prove a model works. Mirror migration does not mean development has stopped.

A root license or README declaration does not establish the same license for firmware, models, brands and third-party components.
