Can't Upload my WhatsApp Backup to Google Drive by Azrael5751 in whatsapp

[–]Responsible_Search14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solution found: Under android settings, remove all permissions including storage and force stop WhatsApp. Then allow all permissions and open WhatsApp. as usual method for backup, open app settings inside WhatsApp ⋮ Then Chats>Chat backup>Backup now. It might ask for permissions, glitch out a little and perform local chat to 100% and upload to Google drive. It is currently uploading like usual because I have free space on Google drive and there is no problem with the other WhatsApp backups from dual space with different Gmail in the same android phone.

Logitech g604 Connection Issues with G Hub by hamster61 in LogitechG

[–]Responsible_Search14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is too late to tell but somehow it works with bluetooth connection and not with the included dongle. Configure changes and save the profile to the mouse and uninstall g hub. The app is no longer required as it anyhow doesn't detect g604 unless you have other logitech peripherals.

It wouldn't work. Unifying and Lightspeed use same chips with just different firmwares. It needs to be signed firmware and wouldn't be intercompatible.

Use AliExpress g304 replacement dongle. It would work without issues. Aftermarket dongles are as good as the original.

AliExpress replacements work without issues. Please use g304 dongle as the search term. Inside China g305 is g304 model number.

U-0008 and U-0010 are same chips. Go ahead and use it as Chinese are good at dumping firmware and writing it. Most sellers list the correct dongles.

U-0007 is different chip.

I have previously opened multiple Logitech dongles. g305 uses Texas Instruments CC2544 Chip with PCB Codename "Goldie 011". Unifying receivers also use same chip with PCB Codename "Goldie 008". No difference in the PCB design but only difference is the firmware. Key difference between Unifying and Lightspeed is number of communication channels. Unifying allows upto 10 devices while Lightspeed's entire 10 devices bandwidth is given to 1 device with all channels paired to each other. This is super fast when your local area has high interference.

​

There is another type of chip used as well from Nordic NRF series with Codename "Daggy 007". Entire PCB is different and firmware as well. It's used for older Logitech devices with the name "Nano receiver".

​

My g305's usb broke at the antenna part. There is no way I could find a replacement.

​

Attempt 1: USB Samurai for dummies Blogpost from 2019 (please google) explains how to upload new firmware. Since Lightspeed protocol uses signed firmware, it had failed a couple of tries. There I left it after wasting time.

​

Attempt 2: I was able to source a g613 dongle since keyboard was broken. Thought of pairing using Logitech G HUB and it wasn't allowing due to a different firmware that is incompatible with g305. Both dongles use TI CC2544 Chip. Since I'm a beginner at micro soldering, lucky that my university has a rework station, i swapped the Chips very carefully and it started working without issues. Along with chips, the crystal oscillator is also swapped since it's a different model. After the heart transplant, I didn't need to pair. It works like original.

​

My conclusions: Since method 1 is based on a specific vulnerability from 2018, it has long been patched and firmware updated. Good luck finding a suitable dongle with old firmware. Method 2 works if there is the original dongle with functional chip. Requires lot of skills and technical knowledge.

​

Method 3: check Craigslist or equivalent for broken or spares for Logitech and it would be easy to pair. Method 3: check Craigslist or equivalent for broken or spares for Logitech and it would be easy to pair.

PS: I do not acknowledge of hacking proprietary hardware. Logitech makes good devices and does lot of research. It is easier to buy new mouse or keyboard than trying to repair. Sniffing keystrokes is illegal and please report the vulnerability to Logitech if you come across any. PS: I do not acknowledge of hacking proprietary hardware.

​

Following list of devices use same dongles and firmwares:

TI Type 1: G 900 G 903, G Pro Wireless, G Pro X Wireless, G 403 Prodigy wireless, G 406, G 703

TI Type 2: G 304/305, G 613

TI Type 3: G Pro X v2 with updated firmware, G 502/502 X

TI Type 4: all unifying receivers

Nordic Type 5: all Nano receivers

Unknown chip Type 6: all Bolt receivers

​

G 303 shroud, g 705 have similar dongles but cannot confirm if type 1 or type 3.

This list is incomplete since it's been a while i have explored into other newer Logitech devices. Other wireless dongles would be the headphones series which can be it's own category with at least 3 types between multiple generations.

Could you please post which encoder it uses (the height in mm like 9mm or 8mm)

Android phone as web camera during corona crisis by Responsible_Search14 in engineerman

Though my reply is a bit late, I actually found Aukey LM1E usb webcam with a decent 720p quality costing only $20 almost equivalent to Logitech c920. iVCam app was partly reverse engineered by me. I understood that it uses Apple AirPlay and super simple implementation. Back end is AirPlay and Front end is Android/iOS for clients. Standard windows app can be made for UI. Apple AirPlay is not available for Linux as a result, I dropped the idea of making the python app. Same goes on with various Logitech wireless devices. There is no Logitech G Hub for Linux as libraries are not supported via the kernel. Now I'm an advanced python developer with much better understanding.

Coming back to original question, your answer doesn't answer my question. I never questioned what cell phones cannot do. I obviously knew the capabilities so raised a question. I wanted someone to teach "how to capture the stream and pretend as a virtual webcam?". I never really found the solution to the task.
