read from lizard in a snap
To check the details please go to the CFW Generator
tab, and click on Load Fw, select the file you just
read (dummysnap.bin). You can see there the
other files related to the drive (inquiry, identify, etc)
Now we can see the details and the key of the drive.
As you can see we have read the key of an 83850 V2
drive without the need of any cut, solder or glue
If you want to generate your custom firmware just
choose from the combobox the type of file you need
from the template list.
Then click on Save As, choose location (same as the
source file). Click yes to store it.
Now the CFW file is ready so you can flash it to
the drive.
The proper way to remove the scorpion is as follows
Turn off the drive, unplug lizard
remove the grabber of the RED WIRE first
then remove the grabber from BLACK WIRE,
take care not bending the hooks.
The scorpion remains with some energy due to the
capacitor, if you want to speed the discharging
just make the 2 hooks contact each other.
Make sure every time you use the scorpion its
100% discharged.
Thats all for watching, Enjoy your lizard.
