I expect he's probably divulged everything he can recall after quite a few contacts over the years. > I need to know how it locks and how it does it, if we know then we > might be able to find a way to activate, unlock them. Isn't it the lack of being able to `phone home' that causes it to deactivate after a while? I seem to recall discussion on this list about hooking up a modem in place of the phone line to `take' the call. `AT+VTS' generates a dial tone? These days, perhaps a Asterisk/PoTS/VoIP bit of hardware could do similar. > Has anyone managed to backed up there NAND from the E3,if so did you > backup it when the Emailer was activated, if yes to both please can > you shear it Good idea. The older firmware, before it got encrypted, could be disassembled and studied some more, probably easier now than then with tool advancements, and the phone-call code found so it can be stubbed out and the firmware re-programmed. -- Cheers, Ralph. _______________________________________________ e3-hacking mailing list e3-hacking@earth.li https://www.earth.li/mailman/listinfo/e3-hacking
