I think sadly all voltages and most crap on the Switch are software controlled and on RCM mode it disables most stuff, it probably also stop feeding power while in RCM to the USB, that's probably why TX and everyone is adding batteries or capacitors.

I have a super tiny battery and various small ones around already.

yeah that makes good sense. To be clear, I'm not sure if there is something about the ESP8266 that excludes it from this use. I know it only has 4mb available but that is same as most of these micro-routers and is also why the person who OP referred to re-wrote the rcm sender in C, so that first problem is solved. This device is meant to be used as a WiFi IOT all in one solution, not really for sending data over USB, so there may be some sort of complications there. It does communicate via a (built-in) USB to serial adapter (CH34x).
 
Will this work ? http://www.zoomtel.com/products/4506.html

This is extremely inconvenient due to having to carry a portable battery around.. Wouldn't it just be more convenient to reverse-engineer the SX PRO Dongle and build the same thing?

There is already a variant of the hardware that contains a useful battery, that is self powering. They are just slightly more expensive.

Yes-- We can discuss any potential fuse-lede deployable device in the R&D thread. That is what I created it for-- Discussion of various methods of making one's own dongle, with the intention of making specific how-to threads for each kind we come up with.

Neat. I just ordered this one, gonna take a while to arrive, though: https://www.ebay.de/itm/132402680463

That should work. Bear in mind that there are strong caveats with that platform. The hardware is all outwardly similar, but internally it is actually many different devices based around the same SoC, with varying amounts of memory and flash storage.

The version that Retr0id built is for the 4mb flash version, which, as far as I know, is the smallest flash this hardware has. Larger flash is OK-- the firmware will just turn it into JFFS2 space for you. All the same, instructions for flashing might differ, and there is the potential that it will not like the precompiled image.

If it works for you, be sure to share. If not, ask questions in the BYOD thread, and we can try to nail down why it did not work.

Thanks a lot! That helps.
 
Your attitude sucks ass. Can you do it? I bet you can't. Just like most people here. I'm just giving an idea.

Oh wow, that's nice! Thanks for that.
That wasnt an idea , that was wishful thinking.

Why arent YOU doing something? "your attitude sucks ass" =/
 
SX OS Brick code will be triggered if I use my own licence with an home made dongle?
Almost certainly not. TX provides a payload for SX OS that allows everyone to send it via PC or smartphone. A DIY Dongle like this will do exactly the same as a PC or an android smartphone: send this freely available payload.

The price is very good ! I'm excited to know if it will work as a payload injector.

After finding this thread, I looked in my "old electronics" drawer and found a 3g wifi power bank thingy exactly like the one on the picture !
Unfortunately, I am unable to login via telnet, admin / admin will not grant me access (I tried reseting the device etc)
Any idea idea where I could find possible login combinations ?
 
I'm waiting on one of these with the battery built in for exactly this reason, seems like a no brainer!

One thing I'm not sure of is that David Buchanan's page states

There seems to be some issues with these releases, please don't use them for now!


any one know why?

There were issues where the fuse-lede package did not run automagically, etc. It wasn't that the packages did not install, just that they are still experimental and need a little poking after install still, at least that is the take-away I had.
 
I said quite explicitely that admin / admin did dot work in my case but hey, thanks for your valuable input

All I can say to try and give some hindsight is that when I telnet to the router it prompts "WD login" - is this standard ?

D'oh! My apologies!

If the default login is not working to get your foot into the door, it might not be the same hardware inside. However, you can STILL get to the console, you will just need a 3.3v FTDI type serial cable and either some clamps, or a soldered on header on the serial debug port.

Embedded linux systems have a useful feature: When you connect to the serial debug port, it will just give you root shell. No login needed. Cables run between 2$ and 6$. Just be sure it is 3.3v levels on the TX and RX leads. Once you are in on the serial console, just run passwd to set the root password to whatever you want.
