Everything about Craigslist is shady.Thank you guys, looks very shady. BTW after my request the seller send me this 'pinout scheme', hehe:
7 PIN:
29 - D0
28 - CMD
27 - CLK
26 - RST
15 - SOC shelf
on't understand any bit about all of it tbh.
It could be just a proof-of-concept, that's what I'm thinking.Haven't seen this anywhere else. Most likely fake. What are the odds that a one-of-a-kind mod chip just so happened to pop up on Craigslist?
Glitching Mariko with a rp2040 is definitely possible, I know several people have done it. Why would someone build a custom board and then sell it on Craigslist instead of mass producing it and selling it on AliExpress though? It makes no sense. If someone just did it for fun, which I know some people have, then why sell it at all? Either they want money or they don't. Selling a single one and no more is stupid.It could be just a proof-of-concept, that's what I'm thinking.
They could've just made the project open-source on GitHub so that it can be mass produced.Glitching Mariko with a rp2040 is definitely possible, I know several people have done it.

Haven't heard of Avito being a Russianized version of Craigslist, thought it was some photo editing app.EDIT: Warning! The pics have "Avito" on them. That's a Russian Craigslist. So stolen pics?
Yeah exactly. No one goes "Well I spent a month making this custom hardware, I don't really want to sell it, but I don't really want to let it be unknown either. Oh I know, I'll make exactly one and sell it on Craigslist for some lucky guy to pick up"They could've just made the project open-source on GitHub so that it can be mass produced.
No. That red wire is soldered to one of the pins of a ribbon cable.Also is that a ribbon cable the red cable is solder to? Which ribbon cable would that be?
Ah okey.No. That red wire is soldered to one of the pins of a Micro SD card.
True. It would be the same as the vast majority of RCM injector chips out there.Ah okey.
The only theory I can have is this is for a v1 switch basically. Just auto-injecting the rcm payload and pressing the buttons.
Oh even more suspicious !They could've just made the project open-source on GitHub so that it can be mass produced.

You never know also what kind of code they put into the microcontroller.Oh even more suspicious !
I was thinking that as well, but the bend in the heat pipe is straight on a V1 in that location so it’s definitely not installed on a V1.Ah okey.

In my opinion rpi can run at 3v3 so maybe we can using analog pin to control the voltage, maybe =))It seems fake to me. I mean, you need 1v8 logic to Interface with the emmc. And rpi runs at 3v3. I don’t see level shifter on the board.
The wiring of the cpu flex is cringeworthy but could probably work. (If it were legit)
Even if it works, I’d give it 80% probability it can’t flash the emmc with the custom boot code.
Edited: RCM chip doesn’t make sense, as no usb.
Honestly, it’s weird. More info and/or uncut video of this thing booting, or it didn’t happen.
