Hi folks, not sure if this is the right place but so please lmk if there is a better place to put this:

I'm currently attempting to reverse engineer yealink t41p IP phone firmware since the device is out of support for some years and but works very well imo. For security reasons and keeping the devices out of the trash, I would like to provide open source firmware for it. I recently learned how the process with clean room reversing works but I'm stumbling at the first step already. Here is what I attempted so far:

This is the community for all things hacking and cybersecurity, try keeping it legal. That said I don't take any responsibility for anything that happens/comes from this group but I will try being the best mod that I can to prevent anything from happening.
