U3Hacker Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 This is a tested and working :idea: How To Hack The Memorex TravelDrive 1. Go Download The Firmware Update | U3 Upgrade To The Desktop 2. Choose Open and Install WinAce | WinAce Download 3. After Installation of WinAce Right-Click "U3_Launchpad_Updater_1_0_0_2" on the desktop and click "Extract to C:...OwnerDesktopU3_Launchpad_Updater_1_0_0_2". You should have a new folder on your desktop now. 4. Download/Extract ResHacker | ResHacker Download 5. Open ResHacker.exe and Choose "File" | "Open" and then go to your desktop and open the folder U3_Launchpad_Updater_1_0_0_2 now double-click UpdaterCore. 6. Expand "String Table". Expand "132". Click "1033". You should see STRINGTABLE LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US { 2096, "Skip" 2097, "Skip All" 2098, "Retry" 2099, "Abort" 2100, "Wrong password" 2101, "%d attempt(s) before device is permanently locked" 2102, "Failed to set password. To try again, please remove your %2 and reinsert it." 2103, "%1 failed to format your %2" 2104, "Backing up your data..." 2105, "Updating the %2 firmware..." 2106, "Restoring your data ..." 2107, "Formatting your %2..." 2108, "Updating your version of the U3 Launchpad..." 2109, "1.0.5.17n" 2110, "binLaunchpad.iso" 2111, "Launchpad.zip" } Change This And Compile Script 2109, "1.0.5.18n" Now go to "File" | "Save" Close ResHacker ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This just allowed you to update the drive over and over. Because in the LaunchPad.zip file the firmware version is 1.0.5.16 or 1.0.5.17 this fools the updater in to thinking the firmware isnt updated. Please DO NOT mess with the version.dat file. I dont know what will happen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Now you can go to your desktop then the "U3_Launchpad_Updater_1_0_0_2" folder then the "bin" folder and put your own "LaunchPad.iso" in there. 8. Once done with 7 just double-click "UpdaterCore" in the "U3_Launchpad_Updater_1_0_0_2". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am not responsible for any device damage and please do not exceed the 5MB limit. I dont know what will happen. Also dont change the "BIN" | "709" | "0" resource I dont know what will happen. If you want info on how to change the Memorex logo that the LaunchPad shows then just reply to this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USB SwitchBlade Link ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U3Hacker Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Also there is a free ISO maker called DeepBurner. Look it up on google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudobreed Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Very Nice. I thought my Memorex was toast when I deleted the U3 software off it and there was no LPInstaller for Memorex. I tested this with my payload and everything works just like the Cruzer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LavaHot Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 While easy to understand, I was unable to correctly use the method you described as the updater continues to say "No U3 Drive Detected" This also prohibits me from installing the switchblade. I have the 1GB Mini. (It was $25 at BestBuy). Any help on the subject would be very welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconova Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 While easy to understand, I was unable to correctly use the method you described as the updater continues to say "No U3 Drive Detected" This also prohibits me from installing the switchblade. I have the 1GB Mini. (It was $25 at BestBuy). Any help on the subject would be very welcome. I have the exact same flash drive had the exact same I downloaded the new universal hack and it worked like a dream (finding the flash drive) also using the new payload (killed some of the stuff from the batch file like all the hacksaw stuff... but just everything it has is nice...)

Matt35 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 This is probably a dumb question, but how do you have a "custom" ISO for yourself? I see the iso's in the download, but I can't figure out how to edit it. --Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Stress Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 This is probably a dumb question, but how do you have a "custom" ISO for yourself? I see the iso's in the download, but I can't figure out how to edit it.--Matt How I created my ISO is I explored the cdfs partition and copied the 4 files to a folder on my desktop. Then I'm not exactly sure I edited it right as I'm not too familiar with programming:) I edited the vb script and just changed the locations and filnames to fit my payload... well the payload that I'm using and then I saved the 4 file's using MagicISO as an ISO then pasted that in the "bin" directory then used the above method to flash the drive. It worked and all just not sure if I edited the vb script file right. Anyone else have a better method/way I'm interested in knowing.

G-Stress Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Anybody get a Memorex U3 working via autorun? I got a 256MB Memorex TravelDrive and followed all the above steps and the only part that works is it dumps the local shares, ipconfig info, disables firewall and that's about it?

trizero Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 http://www.hak5.org/wiki/Universal_U3_LaunchPad_Hacker This is the Universal LaunchPad. None of the other solutions worked, but this one did, so maybe you're in the same boat. I have the 512 MB Memorex Mini Traveldrive and this worked for me. Hope the link helps, as it was a little hard to spot in the Wiki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
