Guys please help me hack my 16-50 and 50-135 lenses. The SDM never went out on either one, but I somehow managed to break an SDM contact off the mount of each one. I have tried the hack with a K7, my K5,Kx and my K-01 but I get "PC VENDOR' instead of full DEBUG MODE. So I bought a K100d off KEH because I read in earlier posts that it was easier to hack with that model.
I'm trying to hack the 16-50 first. I managed to get in full DEBUG MODE and I copied the lens EEPROM from K100D and started editing with Apple Text Editor within the SD Card (didn't download it to iMac but opened it with Text Edit) I managed to change the values from line "0000" to lines "04F0" from "C0" to "80" but I don't know if I should do the same for lines "5000" through "07F0". All the values in those lines say "FF".
Another thing I don't get is the quote posted below. Do i have to write additional values within the camera after I'm done with the steps above? Thank you guys in advance!

Using the pad and dial, access the READ /WRITE function, check by read the info before modify it. Really check the info at the adress before change it. You need to read "C0" WRITE "80"
