Same here, same here.

All Blackview and CAT models were insanely bad when it comes to their software, and I couldn't get them to run any self-built ROM and neither any GSI image so I gave up on my dream of an open rugged phone, too :(

In the BV case I even tried using the MediaTek root-mode exploit, but didn't have success booting any compiled kernel because lots of drivers are messy in their firmware.

i miss the bv, if you drop it, you worry about your foot and the pavement.

Yeah and the company behind CAT phones (bullitt) is now bankrupt so they will no longer provide any support.
