ncoop23 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Ok so I have a SanDisk Cruiser mini the older style that was out before U3. I would like to know if there is any way that I could dump edit the RMB on the firmware and reflash the drive? I have a computer with linux on it and I have heard of people doing this but how do I do it? Please don''t flame me for this but I knew that if anyone would know it it would be you guys. Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 as of my knowledge I don't think this is possible I also have a San Disk Mini and there are a few of us trying to accomplish this task in the Dev5 side you can join Dev5 and check out what we currently have. We are at a bit of a stand still currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartain X Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 i would love to make no u3 drive u3, but i think it's more that the firmware/software it think it's some hardware and low level software differences as well but i could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterpyro Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 i dont think it is hardware at all. if it was then a u3 would still work like a u3 even after you uninstall it. I think all you have to do is mount the iso that LPinstaller does onto a flash drive and your done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remkow Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 That doesn't work, I've tried it with one of my other sandisk non U3 sticks. It's also a matter of partitioning the space correctly, and setting one of the partitions to CDROM instead of flash memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegadecanuck Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Currently, there isn't too much progress being made on this, but if you want to see what progress we currently have, I'd recommend joining Dev5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Yeah we have kinda hit a brick wall and are looking for all the help you can give. I think possibly if someone knows how to decompile software maybe we could decompile the San Disk installer and take out the checks for San Disk devices and just have it install onto any thumb drive its just a guess. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
