| CatButts | I bought a working BL-5j | 00:34 |
|---|---|---|
| CatButts | I guess, time to face my incompetence and reset lock code on the N900 | 00:35 |
| CatButts | or at least, reset whole firmware | 00:35 |
| CatButts | So, whereto now? | 00:36 |
| CatButts | will reflashing do the job? | 00:39 |
| CatButts | and should probably sell n900 instead of holding it on a shelf with battery rotting and lock code forgotten | 00:47 |
| CatButts | I'll be honest, the keypad dissapointed me in n900 | 00:48 |
| CatButts | maybe I'll find it use after I recover it, or sell it to someone that cares about it more | 00:49 |
| CatButts | but before selling, have to see where my 1000Mhz overclock last left it | 00:49 |
| CatButts | baked CPU or not | 00:50 |
| CatButts | haha, the AV-out thing was adorrable | 00:51 |
| CatButts | yeah, please advice on what course of action I should take | 00:59 |
| CatButts | other than hypnotist session to remember lock code | 01:00 |
| CatButts | haha | 01:00 |
| sunshavi | :) | 01:14 |
| CatButts | [21:06] <KotCzarny> one word: rescueos | 01:16 |
| sunshavi | the last feature I have enabled on the n900 which i am using lately it | 01:22 |
| sunshavi | using the n900 as a bluetooth speaker | 01:22 |
| CatButts | I've wanted to connect n900 to bluetooth keyboard before | 01:27 |

| CatButts | does maemo flasher need a separate driver installed? | 01:37 |
| CatButts | for windows | 01:38 |
| CatButts | flasher v2.5.2 (Sep 24 2009) Suitable USB device not found, waiting. | 01:46 |
| CatButts | That's all she ever said | 01:46 |
| CatButts | halp | 01:49 |
| CatButts | oh I get it | 01:52 |
| CatButts | I need 64bit driver | 01:52 |
| CatButts | fine, I give you a virtual machine | 01:54 |
| joerg | http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#The_Lazy_Approach *sigh* I wish the wiki would start working again | 02:00 |
| joerg | warfare: any news? | 02:01 |
| CatButts | fuck | 02:37 |
| CatButts | 0xFFFF flasher, does it exist in land of Android and Termux? | 02:39 |
| KotCzarny | i think lock code was written somewhere in nand | 07:15 |
| KotCzarny | and dumping nand then grepping it would reveal it | 07:15 |
| freemangordon | caltool is easier | 07:16 |
| freemangordon | but no, it would not reveal it | 07:16 |
| freemangordon | as what is stored in CAL is a hash | 07:16 |
| KotCzarny | hmm, oh | 07:16 |
| KotCzarny | my memory is playing tricks then | 07:16 |
| freemangordon | https://github.com/maemo-leste/libdevlock/blob/master/libdevlock.c#L486 | 07:18 |
| KotCzarny | https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=923671&postcount=4 | 07:18 |
| freemangordon | ...This will create a file called "phone_lock_hash" | 07:18 |
| freemangordon | but yeah, that should be the way to recover the code | 07:19 |
| KotCzarny | still, would need rescueos os dumping nand in some other way | 07:20 |
| KotCzarny | *or | 07:20 |
| freemangordon | mhm | 07:20 |
| joerg | you need shell access (ssh or on-device terminal), the instruction https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=923671&postcount=4 works | 09:43 |
| joerg | you're probably short of luck if you don't have a sshd running on device, and WLAN connection. rescueos may/will work but not eactly trivial | 09:45 |
| joerg | watch out! reflashing is NOT per default resetting the lock code, it may or may not disable it - I never tried. Anyway the record in call is untouched by flashing | 09:47 |
| joerg | https://web.archive.org/web/20210427173139/https://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#The_Lazy_Approach still supported | 09:51 |
| joerg | CatButts: flasher is there, incl a libusb0.1(?) that _may_ help you out. 64bit libs are probably _not_ needed | 09:53 |
| CatButts | https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=988904 | 11:38 |
| CatButts | this talks about installing 64bit drivers on winders | 11:39 |
| CatButts | doesn't say anything of dealing with unsigned usb drivers | 11:40 |
| CatButts | Good to be back home | 16:10 |
| CatButts | thanks Kot | 16:10 |
| CatButts | Ok, I have previously overclocked it and complained of spontaneous shutdowns | 16:15 |
| CatButts | But that might have been the battery | 16:16 |
| CatButts | smurtreflex out of the question | 16:22 |
| KotCzarny | smurflex | 16:26 |
| joerg | sorry, no idea about *windows* | 17:06 |
| joerg | and, just for the convenience (thread link instead of ceenter-adjusted post link) https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=988904 | 17:07 |
| CatButts | sooooooo | 20:00 |
| CatButts | what's new with N900 since last year? | 20:01 |
| CatButts | since 12 months ago | 20:01 |
| CatButts | Hmm, phone seems intent on keeping blue wallpaper instead of orange one | 20:09 |
| CatButts | as if to spite me | 20:09 |
| CatButts | does nand go bad by itself? | 20:13 |
| KotCzarny | sometimes | 20:17 |
| CatButts | .ham | 20:18 |
| CatButts | !ham | 20:18 |
| CatButts | Have there been any new/changed app catalogues in the last 2 years? | 20:19 |
| CatButts | or 3 | 20:19 |
| KotCzarny | i think the only progress was mad to maemo leste | 20:22 |
| KotCzarny | *made | 20:24 |
| CatButts | Yeah, I ought to take it for a spin | 20:28 |
| CatButts | anything essential missing? | 20:30 |
| CatButts | aka support for n900's hardware | 20:31 |
