| - | Mer uses the same sources as SmartDevices for the bootloader (Qi and U-boot). This is merged together with the exact same tools SmartDevices uses along with same initramfs as the official images. We follow the exact same internal memory pattern as the 'official' images.

| - | | + | |
| - | This info is based on talks with the SmartDevices guys and code in boot loader + board instructions. If the device is rebooting endlessly, it will still be possible to force it to boot from the external SD. It is the same way SmartDevices people handle 'dead' Q5/Q7 when put in for repair.
