Not in this lifetime

Did anyone try hot swapping the hdd after the dongle check?

I've discovered some older and incomplete information regarding modifications to a Hobbit:

Tech Hints on how I did it
Unless you already know a whole lot about hardware and Linux, don't try.
Setup: In order to not get in as much trouble I'm not going to give step-by-step instructions but I will give you some hints. Use a hardware write blocker to DD the drive and lay down the image on a same-brand SSD of any size 32gb or bigger. In between consider converting to VMDK and setting up a temporary VM to get into it to enable networking and SSH. Single user boot mode. patchelf --set-rpath $ORIGIN for portable binaries. Re-create Apache directory requirements on boot before starting daemon


Can anyone confirm whether it's still feasible to modify a Hobbit?
Which firmware versions are still compatible with such modifications?
Additionally, when did JJP begin encrypting files with Sentinel License Manager?

Are there alternative methods to modify WOZ/Hobbit using 'old' firmware?
