In November of 2020, I decided to dive into the world of Android, more specifically the linux kernel. I did this because earlier in the year, around February, I broke my old phone during a skiing trip and hastily bought a cheap android phone, the Alcatel 1S 2019.
Coming from a background of Windows research I had no idea how to start. My first intuition was that in order to do anything I’d need to root my phone. Thankfully the Alcatel hosts a UNISOC SC9863A, a chipset made by Spreadtrum, who fortunately also provide flashing tools, making the entire process extremely easy, I’ll skip this part because it’s not really relevant and varies from phone to phone.
The next goal was to find the source code, and due to licensing requiremnts the linux kernel in use has to be open source. A quick search on google for “Alcatel linux source code” netted me a link to their sourceforge where I found all the zips of each phone titled by version (5024 for the Alcatel 1S 2019).
