  • hahaha crazy, hardware brute forcing a garmin security PIN... that's seriously epic. You know there is an easier way.. by desoldering a tiny ram chip that holds the pin. You could do it in probably 30 minutes rather than 23 hours.

  • @quakefiend Could have done that but wouldn't have been as much fun.

  • That's insane. Did it work? Or is it still running?

  • @onblur It worked. I think dad said it took 23 hours.

  • @quakefiend Hey do you know what chip it is 

  • Very creative project man

  • @quakefiend Do you have to replace the chip?

  • Why did i laugh when i saw the machine doing that? haha

  • @zulle83 sorry, forgot one thing.

    when you FW'd with PouchX and interrupted, you should do the update with most earlier FW. Then you need to FW with PouchX completely. Then use webupdater.

    Use skype: vad-im

  • @SinCabezaAlicante what do you mean with "prounx"? i have "PouchX" firmware from garniak_pl. already been in "system software missing" mode after getting "crashed" into "loader loading" screen and making a reset. tried then reinstalling a working firmware, but still the same. nuvi 250 still asks for pin. maybe you know where to get "good firmware".

  • @SinCabezaAlicante ok, but what do you mean with "clear 40th region"? setting the 40th (hexadecimal, not 40th decimal) byte to 00?

  • @zulle83 you dont need to erase user data. it will not help.

    fastest way to remove PIN is playing with firmwares. the thing you need is to clear 40th region.
