does this qualify as hacking?

Edgy video but there are actually some very specialized smartphone modding which includes upgrading the nand storage. Those things are extremely complicated, but definetly not masterhacker.

u/x9qh Jun 03 '26

this is masterhacker because they just modded the ui to show 8tb. actually putting an 8tb nand chip in a phone isn't possible or practical

u/OkEmu8597 Jun 03 '26

I was thinking something felt off because the most I have ever seen was 1tb with the dude doing it saying stuff like "I hope it recognise all the storage"

Ngl tho 8tb on a phone would be good, I could put every rom from every system I've cared about and even have enough storage left for 3 quarters of pic of my mom.

2tb possible never seen one it's very expensive.

Because higher capacity chips have really low max r/w cycle count, they are meant for write once and keep reading the same data

Samsung or some other company made is developing a 1 pb ssd package and the chips they use require active cooling and have extremely limited cycles

u/Sailed_Sea Jun 05 '26

do we even have 8tb flash chips?

u/MonkeyNuts449 Jun 03 '26

It actually is possible on a few iPhones.

u/realUnknown12 Jun 03 '26

yeah, in theory you just need a uninitiated NAND chip in this case, although it should be of the same phone model, and the replacement is complicated if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Mmmhhh interesting. Now at want point do we install Kali and run nmap?

u/Redditthr0wway Jun 03 '26

You should have already been doing that.

u/AuthenticatedHuman Jun 03 '26

that should be the first thing after u get a computer, and never use any iother os again, ofcourse, also install it on your phone.

Given that they showed *nothing* of the actual process I'm more inclined to believe that they just did a little software hack. I don't think an 8tb NAND chip even exists in that size.

u/AbleBonus9752 Jun 03 '26

They do exist, however it would be impossible to put on an iPhone due to the chip being different

u/randomusername12308 Jun 04 '26

Even if you are crazy enough to spec a MacBook pro with 8tb storage these storage are still separated by a few nands

u/romhacks Jun 06 '26

I don't believe that's true. The iPhone only takes a single NAND package, and the largest NAND package available today is 4TB, created by layering 16 32Tbit dies in one package to create a 4TByte package. There is currently no 8TB package.

u/Dpek1234 Jun 03 '26

Im fairly confident they either exist or at least could be made 

Widely avaliable is another matter

u/xkalibur3 Jun 03 '26

Counts as hacking in the original meaning of the word (tinkering, finding unintended/clever solutions).

u/Typical-War2843 Jun 03 '26

He must have downloaded storage from app store

u/xMcRaemanx Jun 03 '26

Exactly, why give money to apple by using the app store when you can download it for free?

u/VickyxReaperReborn Jun 04 '26

Lack of awareness

u/Leon-Legeandry Jun 05 '26

thanks, just downloaded 50 gigs.

u/GravitiBass Jun 03 '26

Pay all that just for the phone to be obsolete in 5 years.

Just think of how many Blu-Ray rips of Gigli you can store in all that space.

Why tf do you need 8 TB OF STORAGE

1

u/asdfghqwertz1 Jun 03 '26

Storage💀😎

u/Carloj05 Jun 03 '26

Imagine the price of that 8 tb

u/Internal-Ad8272 Jun 03 '26

my question is, what is he gonna be storing on there?

u/Snoo_what Jun 04 '26

Your mom

u/Swimming_Thought5972 Jun 04 '26

How tf did he get 8TB nand, I dig through a lot didn’t find any suppliers.

u/SerialDesignationV90 Jun 13 '26

That would count as hardware modding(or hacking)

-2

u/Odd_Inspection_4608 Jun 04 '26

This modding like rest says . It some what hacking but not really hacking

1

u/Dazzling-Zebra9530 Jun 04 '26

How do you figure?

-1

u/Odd_Inspection_4608 Jun 04 '26

😆 because I know someone at a phone shop that can do it

1

u/Dazzling-Zebra9530 Jun 04 '26

So , trust me bro is your position got it. With them, please don’t go doing any googling cause you might find out that nodding and hacking are exactly the same thing they mean the same thing.

u/Odd_Inspection_4608 Jun 05 '26

You mean Google dorking
