The NX brand comes with approximately five different CPU models, and those most probably have very specific hardware configurations for each NX model, resulting in incompatible binaries: https://github.com/ge0rg/samsung-nx-hacks/#device-support
If you manage to flash a firmware file from a different model, chances are that it will be a permanent brick (unless you are good at BGA soldering). If you manage to replace the di-camera-app
from another model, the camera app will probably crash immediately, but you have a minor chance to restore an original firmware by shorting the double-triangle pad on the mainboard for firmware recovery.
Is "downgrading" the NX (pre-NX1) to the NX1000 firmware a sure brick or has this just not been looked into? I asked the question a few years ago but I don't remember there being a solid answer. If there's a chance I'm willing to risk it. It's been so many years I don't even remember how the initial hack worked and I'm not keen to do that research again if it's zero chance of success :)
The 360 camera advancements give me a bit of hope
If that doesn't work, what would it take to get the dev tools over? Think we could get lucky with a self-contained binary copy-paste job?
edit: seems that they're on different CPUs :\ so that might be kind of sketchy.
In that case, would someone mind running a trace on

for me?
