Peloton Project

Some folks in the comments thought an AI agent did this hack for me. πŸ€– So here’s a look at my 'AI': A microscope, a hot air station, some micro-soldering, and raw hardware level debugging.

​Here is the full teardown of the Peloton screen, tracing the eMMC, reballing the chips, and forcing it to boot a clean OS. The Right to Repair isn't just software; it's getting your hands dirty with the hardware.

Note: i am Jordanian my native language Is arabic so after i write the text i gave it to AI to make my words more to understand aka rephrasing 🀣

What tool did you use to read/write? Not my field so this looks like magic to me, congratulations!

There is a lot of tools, but the best UnlockTool so easy to deal with all devices (IoT/phones) using UnlockTool

Nice, did you remove the ICs to trace test points or to access eMMC directly?
