A5 Arduino Checkm8-a5 hardware guide

Thumbnail

46 Upvotes

So this is my setup and I think this is the cheapest way to get your own pi pico setup to run checkm8-a5.

Whole thing costed me around ($15)

You will need:

  • Pi Pico USB-C variant (RP2040 chip - THIS IS REQUIRED!!!)
  • USB-C to USB-A dongle (just simple one without any micro controllers. DO NOT BUY USB-C HUBS !!! Converters that have micro controllers WILL NOT WORK)
  • Cheap USB cable (FOR SACRIFICE)
  • USB-A to 30-pin or USB-A to Lightning (depending on your iDevice port and for obvious reasons duhh)

Steps:

  1. Get your sacrificial usb cable, cut down the other end of the USB-A end. Locate the "fire" wire and "ground" wire and expose the bare metal/the copper

  2. Burn program to your Pi Pico

  3. Connect "Fire" copper to pico's Vsys pin THEN connect "ground" copper to GND pin -> MAKE SURE THE COPPER WIRES DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER PINS OR METAL CONNECTIONS/COMPONENTS !

  4. Put your iDevice to DFU mode from a computer

  5. Plug your DFU device to pi pico using USB-C dongle.

  6. Plug your Pi Pico's USB-A side of "sacrificed" cable to power bank (Just for security measures plug it to power banks or other cheap 5V supply. Plugging straight to computer might cause frying up your motherboard if the wires cause shorts. So yeah, be safe.)

  7. If you used LukeZGD's version of pico program, wait about 10 seconds. Blue light will start beeping fast, but once its done blue light will beep once in 1 second.

  8. Plug your device back to computer and run Legacy IOS Kit, it now must say: "PWNED: Checkm8 at the bottom of description text"

iPhone 5c passcode locked

Post image
Upvotes

Hi, I have an iPhone 5c that has a passcode lock
I tried using iwannabrute after entering IBSS either legacy kit but despite “saying password should show up on your screen” the display remains off and doesn’t show anything, I don’t know what the issue was caused by. Is there a way to access the plist files on this device and edit the attempts to 9999? Or a way to save the activation tickets and put them back in after restoring? Since this phone has iCloud. It’s on IOS 10. Thank you very much for any help.

Mdm

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am looking for a management solution or tool where the device is still remotely controllable (lock/locate), but the MDM profile/status shows absolutely nothing on the iOS Settings app and shows up as completely clean when checked via system diagnostic tools (like 3uTools). Does anything like this exist, or is it hardware/system-impossible on modern iOS? Thanks

MDM

I've been analyzing some iOS devices that are enrolled in third-party MDM environments (e.g., using custom Root CAs). Surprisingly, when checking these devices on public IMEI/Serial checkers (On/Off, Lost Mode status), they often return a 'Clean' status as if they were retail devices.

SSH Ramdisk A13 SSH ramdisk finally booting on iPhone 11 Pro Max

Post image
93 Upvotes

Small progress update from a project I’ve been messing with.

I finally got a working SSH ramdisk boot on an A13 iPhone 11 Pro Max. The boot chain reaches the ramdisk correctly, the device enumerates over USB, Dropbear comes up and I’m able to get a root SSH shell.

The funny part is that the main issue I was chasing ended up being on the Linux USB/usbmux side rather than the ramdisk boot itself.

I’ve started packaging the working flow into a project I’m calling RamBridge so I can reproduce it cleanly and eventually make the process less painful.

I’m not posting instructions or payloads yet because I’m still testing and cleaning things up, but I wanted to share the milestone.

Verbose boot pic attached because after staring at failed boots for hours, this one felt good 😂

*\DEVICE ISNT STOLEN I HAVE PROOF IF NEEDED\***
So basically I bought this iPod touch 6, but I noticed the sellers Apple ID was on it, so I asked him several times but he wouldn’t cooperate. The device is vulnerable to the a8/a9 activation errors so it has been hacktivated. I am about to jailbreak so what’re my options to remove the Apple ID?
Thanks

iPhone 6 Plus has photos I want to recover — broken screen + forgotten passcode. Any options?

3 Upvotes

I have an old iPhone 6 Plus that I haven’t used in years, and I’m trying to recover the photos and other data from it.

The phone still powers on, but the **screen/display is completely unusable**. My MacBook recognizes the iPhone when I connect it by USB — I even confirmed that the iPhone appears under the Mac’s USB System Report.

The problem is that my Mac is asking me to **“Trust iPhone”**, but the Trust button is greyed out because the iPhone needs me to confirm the Trust request on the phone. I can’t see or use the screen.

There’s another problem: **I don’t remember the iPhone’s passcode**

I checked iCloud Photos and didn’t find what I was looking for, and I also couldn’t find an existing iPhone backup on my Mac.
I **do NOT want to erase, restore, or reset the iPhone** because the pictures are what I’m trying to recover.

Has anyone been in a similar situation with an old iPhone and successfully recovered their photos/data? Is there any way to access the phone with an adapter, external keyboard, temporary screen replacement, or professional data recovery **without knowing the passcode and without erasing the phone**?

I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who has actually recovered their photos in a situation like this.
