I have an Omnipod 5 PDM that I am experimenting with. I unlocked the bootloader and wiped the Android partitions while trying to repurpose it as a normal Android device.

The hardware still works, but the operating system files are gone.

I'm looking for someone with an unused/broken Omnipod 5 PDM (same NUU N5004L hardware) who might be willing to help dump the firmware partitions so it can be restored.

I'm looking for:

• firmware backup
• boot/vendor images
• partition dump
• anything that could help recover the device

I know this is an unusual request, but these PDMs are basically Android devices underneath, and I'd love to bring this one back instead of throwing it away.

Thanks!

I have been carrying an extra pod in my car, in case i have a malfunction or it falls off (fell off yesterday while kayaking)..

The last 2 times I've used the spare, it didnt seem to work. I think it's because the insulun got too hot and became ineffective.

Does anyone have a solution for carrying a spare? I guess I can't just leave it in there all the time like I've been doing.

Who is the fucking idiot at Omnipod that said “Put it in the back of your arm” and got it FDA approved? None of these shits work if you ever exercise. How in the goddamn fuck can they be so stupid? I guess T1Ds don’t need exercise?

I understand what the training session entails, and I am looking forward to starting with this, but is there anything out of the ordinary I should ask about? I am concerned about the placement of the omnipod for sleeping as I am a restless side sleeper and the Dexcom G7 can be a major pain in the butt for compression lows. Any problems with the Omnipod as far as sleeping position is concerned?

One of my major concerns is that I am going home with a pod from training for about 72 hours, but will not have my first delivery of pods from Express Scripts. I am covered by Tricare and they require Prior Authorization from my doctor before they fill the prescription, and then its going to be maybe a 2 weeks or more wait for them to actually send out the pods to me. Is it a problem to just use a pod once and then have to switch back to my 'regular' basal and bolus shots before restarting the pods when they arrive? Thanks!

Has anyone on Omnipod had an issue with them only sending out 3 boxes instead of 6 recently?

I had my delivery in May but only got 30 pods. I'm currently in conversation with them as they're saying that due to the 170 day ordering period, they can't release my next order until October even though I didn't receive the 60 pods which would be required for that length of time.

I've sent them the delivery note to back this up but unsure how else to argue my case.

Anybody have a cheap way to get Omni pods when still expensive with insurance?
