**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 07 03:00:00 2014 Oct 07 07:26:00 can I get alpine to save my password? Oct 07 10:41:32 mutt can. i think alpine should be able as well. not sure however (never used alpine) Oct 07 16:15:02 Hi. Anyone here who knows where I can download the flasher for linux and the latest maemo version for my N900 ? Oct 07 16:15:40 ~flasher Oct 07 16:15:40 methinks flasher is at http://www.jedge.com/n810/flasher/maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.tar.gz (also .exe!), or http://www.chakra-project.org/ccr/packages.php?ID=5027 or generally http://www.google.com/search?q=maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.tar.gz. HARMattan(N9): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fl/flasher-harmattan/flasher-harmattan.tar.gz, or -- list of filenames/md5sums: http://pastebin.com/sYKdNJSH, or http://galif.eu/nokia/ Oct 07 16:15:45 ~combined Oct 07 16:15:45 combined is probably the rootfs fiasco image of maemo. For N900 latest (PR1.3.1) see http://nds2.fds-fire.nokia.com/fdp/interface/FiRe/2011/9/--FID--A0A22MVWFVFAM/--LID--FiRe1317015685654/RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin, or http://galif.eu/nokia/ Oct 07 16:15:49 ~emmc Oct 07 16:15:50 it has been said that emmc is is http://nds2.fds-fire.nokia.com/fdp/interface/FiRe/2010/5/--FID--A0A22YHFSICNA/--LID--FiRe1275051276916/AE98ED9D_RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.CENTRAL-EUROPE_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin or see ~emmc2 Oct 07 16:15:57 something like that Oct 07 16:16:17 hmmmmm Oct 07 16:16:25 Why is the device passlock hardcoded? Oct 07 16:16:35 How do i truly reset it to 12345? Oct 07 16:16:52 even erasing /etc before a reflash did nothing to fix it Oct 07 16:17:31 bencoh: thank you very much =) Oct 07 16:36:25 dumb question, which image do I flash it first with? if I want it to be reset to factory defaults ? Or will the emmc-image do that ? Oct 07 16:38:01 _10. Oct 07 16:38:14 _2* is secondary Oct 07 16:38:18 don't have it memorized =-) Oct 07 16:40:07 see wiki Oct 07 16:44:26 stryngs: Install John the Ripper to your N900 and bruteforce your current lock code then you can set it to whatever you like it to be. Oct 07 16:45:07 Ras_Older: I know how to do it, what i want to know is how to clear, not how to bruteforce Oct 07 16:46:47 Well after you know your current one you can set it off? Oct 07 16:47:04 What if i didnt know the current one Ras_Older =) Oct 07 16:47:13 I do ofc, but i've never been able to reset to 12345 Oct 07 16:47:15 which is weird Oct 07 16:47:39 wat :D I just said that bruteforce your current one so you can set it off after that Oct 07 16:47:42 as in Oct 07 16:47:45 "echo root:$(grep -A 13 lock_code /dev/mtd1|tail -1): > /root/phone_lock_hash" Oct 07 16:48:07 and then "john -i:digits phone_lock_hash" Oct 07 16:48:16 for that you need to have John the Ripper installed Oct 07 16:48:19 Ras_Older: I'm not trying to figure out how to bruteforce the phone, I understand that part. What if I buy an n900 on ebay that is locked Oct 07 16:48:32 I'm assuming if you lock it and it dies, that it stays locked Oct 07 16:48:37 ive never tried Oct 07 16:48:52 but if the lock doesnt stay after powerdown then yes i guess u could unlock it Oct 07 16:51:19 Yes I think that the lock will stay after power down but it should be resetted after a reflashing the phone? If someone knows for sure feel free to correct me. I've never needed to truly reflash my phone. Oct 07 16:52:36 gah typos :D sorry I'm in a bar at Jyväskylä (FIN) and feeling a bit tipsy *cough* Oct 07 16:55:21 stryngs: ah damn it yes of course now I got your meaning :D In my case there was a lock code (like 47825 or something like that) set by the old user but it was disabled. So I needed to figure wtf it was to re-enable it again without flashing the phone. Oct 07 16:59:11 Interesting Ras_Older Oct 07 16:59:12 stryngs: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=538825&postcount=2 Oct 07 16:59:22 ty, ill check i tout Oct 07 17:00:13 Not a problem! Oct 07 17:02:07 Heh, leads to : http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=37808 Oct 07 17:06:36 Yeah well reflash the phone, install your tools and get the key. Then you can do whatever you like with it. Oct 07 17:07:09 ill have to play with it the next time i decide to refresh Oct 07 17:07:13 definately curious now =) Oct 07 17:10:00 cant you just clean/reset/reflash the cal partition ? Oct 07 17:10:25 Its never meant as serious safety measure but atleast it will keep your data protected from someone who has access to your device briefly (jealous girl/boyfriends for example!). Oct 07 17:11:46 oh yeah, i would never look at it as such. unless something is encrypted, once it is physically owned, it should be considered pwned Oct 07 17:12:14 yep agreed with that Oct 07 18:45:13 somewhere in the maemo wiki there was a page about the test points of n900 (USB, possible Serial..) , but I can't find it now. could someone point me to it please? :-) Oct 07 18:46:52 http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Hacking Oct 07 18:48:57 Sicelo: ah, thanks! Oct 07 18:49:39 yw Oct 07 18:50:07 the serial really works, as long as you remeber it is not 5V ;) Oct 07 19:26:22 I soldered a new microUSB receptical to a broken n900. I'm a n900 noob. What is expected behavior when plugging a n900 to a pc running linux? Oct 07 19:26:55 nothing happens so far, which is probably a bad sign regarding my soldering :-) Oct 07 19:27:03 right? Oct 07 19:47:46 Hello !! :D Oct 07 19:47:54 nice evening all Oct 07 19:49:33 little holiday without web , but with my N900 maemo ;) recently flashed with ur help ! ( usb cable from box , didn"t work :) Oct 07 19:49:48 jake42: yeah, bad sign Oct 07 19:50:02 n900 should ask you about mass storage/pc suite Oct 07 19:51:03 do you know software maemo application for read *.pgn (chess game /database) Oct 07 19:51:32 miniture and chess haven't this option Oct 07 19:52:56 freemangordon: ok, so I'll probably have to the hot air station out again, but first I'll try to measure between D+/- on usbcable to those D+/- testpoints Oct 07 19:53:43 jake42: make sure your cable is ok Oct 07 19:54:15 freemangordon: a nexus 4 shows up at lsusb Oct 07 19:54:28 so should be working.. Oct 07 19:54:33 anything in dmesg when you connect n900? Oct 07 19:54:37 not at all Oct 07 19:54:52 yeah, I guess then you have no option :) Oct 07 19:55:39 maybe it needs alittle more solder paste Oct 07 21:05:42 on the topic of john are there any jtr "gurus" about that I can ask a few questions. Oct 07 21:44:28 usbport works after 2nd try soldering it*woho* Oct 07 21:45:12 works fine? you can use mass storage mode properly? Oct 07 21:46:05 I can see the files on the n900 from my pc Oct 07 21:46:36 wow Oct 07 21:46:49 so it realy works :-) Oct 07 21:46:58 lucky you. i need to change the complete receptacle on mine Oct 07 21:47:23 well there was no receptacle when I got this one Oct 07 21:48:16 oh Oct 07 21:48:17 i.e. previous owner has ripped it out Oct 07 21:48:29 but all the pads looked fine Oct 07 21:48:40 luckily Oct 07 21:48:41 what hot air station do you have? Oct 07 21:49:08 it says AOYUE Int 852 SMD rework sation Oct 07 21:49:21 looks rather cheap Oct 07 21:50:14 also used a preheating thingy Oct 07 21:50:43 all thanks to the great people here at fablab.fau.de Oct 07 21:51:19 hope you also gave the sides of the receptacle some solder for extra support Oct 07 21:51:31 not yet Oct 07 21:51:49 but I will Oct 07 21:53:16 mine can change (if i wiggle the cable a bit). however, via pc it is not recognized at all. a few cables work on it however Oct 07 21:53:39 my understanding is that the pads iinside the receptacle are gone Oct 07 22:00:35 hm. with a hot air station, replacing the receptacle doesn't seem too hard now Oct 07 22:04:48 detection of camera sliding window state seems not to be working, is that a common problem? Oct 07 22:05:54 cool, Poettering is calling Linux sick and awful Oct 07 22:06:06 of course, we all know he is sick and awful too :) Oct 07 22:06:07 jake42: it is detected via a light switch .. check if it's not obstructed or similar Oct 07 22:07:13 jake42: and check dmesg Oct 07 22:07:20 Sicelo: yes, theres this hole with a black window and another opening with some dust or something Oct 07 22:08:39 hehe, i had swap on uSD, and just now by mistake removed the cover. as expected, device rebooted Oct 07 22:09:13 well atleast the backcover sensor works :-) Oct 07 22:12:08 dmesg reports backcover open/closed and once cam cover as beeing open **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Oct 08 03:00:00 2014
