Resurrecting Pentax firmware hacking

I can confirm that while I can enter the Debug mode in my K-1 Mk II, using the Lens features has no effect, just like with my K-3. Only the K-5's the Lens functions work for me (meaning I know how to use them).

Bootcoder clearly sounds frustrated. Sure, he's doing all the work, but that alone should not cause his reactions here. Something else seems to be bothering him, and it would be nice if he would speak up about that, in case we can do something about it.

Tried that on my K-1 II - with door open and holding the Menu button: When then turning it on, the display remains black, same as if I had no files on the SD card. Tried both hex sequences. (And yes, I know how to use a hex editor, I wrote more than one myself ;) )

I guess the file names (and/or hex codes) have changed for the K-1 II again. Anyone know them?

pasorro, my K-5 has an empty "DEVELOP.MOD" file and two files named "00077430.505" and "00077760.502", both with just "[OPEN_DEBUG_MENU]" inside. All files stored at the root of the SD card. I put that card into the K-5, leave the door open and turn the camera on. That opens the debug menu. No need for pktether.

It looks like you put the text into the wrong file.

Has anyone tried to read the Lens data from a K-3? Because I tried and it doesn't seem to work - choosing the "LENS ROM DAT CAMERA=>SD" command from the debug menu doesn't write a file, and the display only flickers very briefly when pressing the OK button. On the other hand, on my K-5, the same command works, with the screen blacking out for about a second during the operation.

I wonder if this feature has been disabled in the firmware or if it's just me. I'd like to know if others tried and had success with the K-3.

Oops, right. And it's even linked to in the first post. Meh, that's why I suck at this. I am not paying enough attention :)

It doesn't look like the Wiki hasn't been updated lately at all, though. My post was about asking all contributors to remember to add to such a wiki. Doesn't seem to happen. Or is this Shodan's private wiki?

Everyone: I've started some hacking on the FluCard, in case anyone here is interested. It's a Linux-based system, with ARM7 executables.

BTW, may I also suggest that any findings here are documented somewhere public, maybe at wikia.org? Digging thru this long thread has become quite difficult.

Shodan, I sent you a private message, did you see it?
