Guest Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Hey, guys. I'm owning a Kingston usb stick. I used the tool usbview. exe to view these informations: Device Descriptor: bcdUSB: 0x0200 bDeviceClass: 0x00 bDeviceSubClass: 0x00 bDeviceProtocol: 0x00 bMaxPacketSize0: 0x40 (64) idVendor: 0x0951 (Kingston Technology Company) idProduct: 0x1605 bcdDevice: 0x0110 iManufacturer: 0x01 0x0409: "Kingston" iProduct: 0x02 0x0409: "DataTravelerMini" iSerialNumber: 0x03 0x0409: "5B7C04760002" bNumConfigurations: 0x01 ConnectionStatus: DeviceConnected Current Config Value: 0x01 Device Bus Speed: Full Device Address: 0x02 Open Pipes: 2 Endpoint Descriptor: bEndpointAddress: 0x81 Transfer Type: Bulk wMaxPacketSize: 0x0200 (512) bInterval: 0x00 Endpoint Descriptor: bEndpointAddress: 0x02 Transfer Type: Bulk wMaxPacketSize: 0x0200 (512) bInterval: 0x00 Configuration Descriptor: wTotalLength: 0x0020 bNumInterfaces: 0x01 bConfigurationValue: 0x01 iConfiguration: 0x00 bmAttributes: 0x80 (Bus Powered ) MaxPower: 0x64 (200 Ma) Interface Descriptor: bInterfaceNumber: 0x00 bAlternateSetting: 0x00 bNumEndpoints: 0x02 bInterfaceClass: 0x08 bInterfaceSubClass: 0x06 bInterfaceProtocol: 0x50 iInterface: 0x00 Endpoint Descriptor: bEndpointAddress: 0x81 Transfer Type: Bulk wMaxPacketSize: 0x0200 (512) bInterval: 0x00 Endpoint Descriptor: bEndpointAddress: 0x02 Transfer Type: Bulk wMaxPacketSize: 0x0200 (512) bInterval: 0x00 The app only can show the information, but my question is, can I somehow change the entries, I want to change 0x0409: "DataTravelerMini" idVendor: 0x0951 (Kingston Technology Company) So, that when I insert it to a new computer, to find it not as a Kingston device, but for example "h4x3d". Sorry for my terrible english, I hope you understand me and can help me! Quote
Gandalf the l33er Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I don't think it's possible, if posssible you would have to sort of reflash the sontroller chip... Quote
u3expert Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 The device info is embedded in the firmware. It is not possible to write an application program to change it (same as in a disk drive). the only way to change the vendor/product IDs is to write a big check to the Manufacturer of your particular device. Even then, they won't give you a firmware image .. they'll just sell you USB sticks with your desired branding. So unless you have a minimum of $10K for this project ... forget it. Quote
beakmyn Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I had an issue on my PC using a PQI flash drive and they sent me a program that would allow you to query and change IDs and whole bunch of other low level functions. If I can find it I'll post a link. Quote
