Hi everyone,
NOS is a provider here in portugal.
They own the boxes you get when you have a 4G access with them.
My contract is over. But I still have the hardware for the moment.
I just got a concurrent prepaid 4G SIM. I tried to access the web interface on the LAN and it asked to insert a SIM.
The box is Huawei hardware. (locked with NOS settings)
When I tried the new SIM, I almost bricked/locked it but didn't.
I could use that box a moment and give it back to them after their shop re-opens (locked-down !)
Can I safelly install openWRT on it without damaging the hardware ? is it safe legally ?
If the hardware is owned by them and they are waiting to receive it back from you it sounds like it might not be great legally.
