there is a chance if you use the wrong firmware. You need to be very sure you have a Wiikey and not a Wiikey 2. They have different firmwares.

The configuration loads from the disc channel. The firmware upgrade starts (if required) as soon as you turn on your system so you need to power off (or perhaps reset... I'm not sure because mine apparantly came with the latest firmware)

    if you look on ebay you can buy these and us a sd card to wipe the thing and use it as a mp3 player, i seen some for under $50 dollars. they are pretty rugged and speaker is obnoxiously loud.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I got an old s8 I could use as a mp3 player if I really wanted to but something smaller would be nice
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    this is probaby a bit beefy size wise, but it works great as a rugged phone, what kills me is no 5g.
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    the newer ones with 5g are as much as a better spec phone.
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    this will be reliagted to work shop mp3 player wheni get my pixel in.
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    the 4g models (tc56cj) are being decommissioned in most retailers now so you can find them for next to nothing or literally free. mine was in the trash at work the TC57 and TC58 are still supported so they cost more.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    High spec phones are just dick waiving tbh
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    i just wanted to run grapheneOS and pixels are the only option.
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    i miss the days of custom android roms.
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    and rooting and or jailbreaking devices.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Flashing is getting more difficult with security updates
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    as far as i can tell i is mostly a dead art with exception of a few niche options, grapheneos being one of them.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    No real reason to flash since android got mature
