Vaishali ThakkarMany people don't realize that gatekeeping in open-source communities often also comes in the form of delayed or absent reviews by maintainers. Many times, this is a power play by maintainers to discourage others from expressing their opinions. I've repeatedly observed that when maintainers approach technical discussions as authoritative figures rather than collaborative participants, it ultimately harms the project itself.
tihmstarDid you know that it is possible to create a fully functional rootfs from an OTA update?
Since the AppleTV HD is so similar to the HomePod 1st gen, we can just use the atv restore ramdisk for the HomePod.
We made a script to create a custom ipsw for the HomePod (using atv ipsw as donor for ramdisk), which you can restore from pwnDFU (using regular idevicerestore) to unbrick your homepod from a software update failure!

Phil M0OFXHuge thanks are due to an anonymous benefactor who had a broken IN1606, which runs the same firmware. The poor thing had been drowned by a leaking A/C pipe and was very much the worse for wear... so of course, they did what any respectable hacker would do.
Tore the CPU off and traced the wiring back to the 20-pin connector, hoping to find JTAG, but finding something better.

Sometimes you just don't have the right connector, none of the alternatives you have will fit, and even your smallest crimp terminal is too big.
So you shove a piece of wire over the pin.
And that, friends, is how I got access to U-Boot on an Extron IN1608 HDBT, dumped the NAND flash, and fixed the corruption which was stopping it from booting π₯³ π #ElectronicsRepair
Would you have guessed there was not just a UART, but also an MMC/SD interface on the diagnostic connector? I didn't.
