PicoPromSD EEPROM Tool **IN STOCK**

[dtomcat]

Selling PicoPromSDs. My new EEPROM tool. Testing is going great and haven’t heard anything negative. Because of this, I’m opening up sales. $35+shipping

What does it do?

1. Reads and backs up the EEPROM

2. Decrypts EEPROM Data and displays it in plain text. 
3. Can write changes to the EEPROM 

4. Calculate the password for the original seagate and WD drives

all from a MicroSD card

have questions?!?!  Just ask!

 

 

EDIT:  as mentioned earlier in announcement post… if you purchased an ArdPromSD from me and want the new PicoPromSD… I’ll give you a $10 discount. 
 

I’ll also be selling a pogo pin adapter for $8

Your tool answered all my questions! I have so much fucking EEPROM data I don't even know what I would ask! 5 Stars!

Next batch of nine in process

I highly recommend this tool. Makes grabbing eeprom's effortless and quick. I love mine.

Same here.  Great tool and I highly recommend it. I’ve already pulled eeproms off three mobos with doa hdds and used that info to replace one hdd so far. Effortless and quick is a great description. 
 

Thank you again @Dtomcat18. Great work!

[Jordiway73]

I would like to purchase one with the adapter, thanks

Got it   you from Reddit?

[dtomcat]

Next batch really close.  One more day of soldering, then flashing and testing 

[dtomcat]

First public batch is ready to sell

Great adapter how do I purchase?

[dtomcat]

Just send me a message with zipcode or mailing address if overseas (from US) and i'll get you a final price.  Also note if you're wanting the pogo adapter.

Much respect, this is a cool project!

I've recently been doing  EEPROM dumps with a Linux SBC (beaglebone black), the software `i2cget`, and some test clips. I put the clips directly on the legs of the EEPROM. Certain test clips can be finicky. I've found that the one's that came with my Saleae logic analyzer work pretty well whereas clips from aliexpress bend and break pretty easily.

I'll be honest, I was going to be a little critical before I watched the video. I was thinking you had to hold it on the board with one hand and dump with another. Touch and go, that's awesome.

Do you ever run into issues with a less than perfect placement of the pogo pins or is that a non-issue?

I personally have not.  Even with non-ideal pogos.  Definitely not with new pogos.. they kind of snap into place with the beveled ends. I have not received any feedback of anyone having issues either.  In my manual for it, I do state I don’t recommend using pogo pins to write eeprom due to possibility of someone shifting during the write process.  But it does write in less than a sec

From a user perspective I’ve also had no issues with the pogo pins. Especially the new ones recommended. I’ve only done reads though but it has all worked perfectly. If I was going to write the eeprom though I’d definitely put a pin header on the lpc, as @Dtomcat18 suggests, just to be on the safe side. That’s just me though and wanting to be doubly safe when writing.

Wow... never thought the pogo adapters were going to be so popular!  Thought I'd have spare pogo's for days... I'm almost out!  thank you guys!

[dtomcat]

Last batch is almost ready. Passed initial tests…. All that’s left is pin header, bath, and final tests

Maybe I should finish mine.  Still have to build about 17 of them.

[dtomcat]

Last batch is complete and tested.  I have 27 to sell... and about 10 people who already messaged with interest.  Not sure how many of them will buy... but just assume 17 left   Getting more pogo pins (arrive Sunday as of right now)... so will have limited supply of pogo adapters until then (currently can make 6)

[dtomcat]

Also firmware 2.3 will probably go live tomorrow (no real changes... just a change in the log to add device serial number to log).

[dtomcat]

down to 21...  and sold out of pogo adapters.  parts for more should be here Sunday ::fingers crossed::

 

[dtomcat]

19 left.... side note:  Firmware 2.3 up on github:  https://github.com/dtomcat/picoPromSD/tree/main/firmware

Just adds PicoPromSDs digital serial number to the log file.

Send me a PM. I got a stack of Xbox's that I need to mod and this tool would help a ton. I get paid Friday, otherwise I'll take one.

[Barnabyjones]

I have interest in buying one of these. 

Is there a way to use this tool to flash the eeprom to all 1's like the softmodding tools do? 

Just thinking if there was a way a prep hard drives and then just flash EEPROM and plug and play, this would be a godsend. 

 

[dtomcat]

There is …. I.e it’ll write the eeprom… but you’ll have to use another program to modify the eeprom backup.
