Is this a hack to turn on the advanced features? I also wonder if legally anything can be done.. I remember apple TV got hacked and apple had a fit but in the end could do nothing since the units are owned by the people who paid for them. I already have the extreme edition so of little use to me but I am curious as to why you posted it and said nothing? What is the use of a decrypter?

What do you do with it from here?

no.

only Uniden can do it legally.

jailbreak for apple's devices is not causing financial damage directly. it is legal.

HP-1 firmware file located on official ftp site is encrypted.
I share the decryptor.
After decoding we obtain the binary files.
In that form it is stored in the ROM of the scanner.
You can disassemble these files and learn how to work the scanner.

What do you do with it from here?

import uft.py
import sys
sys.argv = ["","HomePatrol-1_V2_04_01.scn"]
uft.main()

firmware file must be located in python's dir.
firmware files you can download from official ftp (login credentials here) or download from unofficial site.

Would like to add the test mode menu to my homepatrol could you create a file to put in memory card or a firmware version that would add it.

 

[n3617400]

Modification of the GUI - a difficult task.
I can't do this.

 

[alphaacres]

is there a way solder a wire or diode to do this that's the way it used to be in the good old days

 

[n3617400]

no, now it is done by modifying the firmware code.
soldering in the past.

 

[scruggsy]

what does this do actually

How can I access "Test Mode" for Homepatrol 1

Hi,all I'm a newbie when it comes to things like this. I've come across a couple of posts,and video about "Test mode" for Uniden scanner,and I'm trying to access uniden home patrol hidden file to calibrate my Undien HomePatrol touch screen and increase the Variable gain for it too. Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

 

[n3617400]

There are no hidden files.
Touch screen calibration settings of HP1 stored in EEPROM.
No user friendly methods to access the TEST mode.
And all of these methods depend on the firmware version.

Yes there is. When powering up hold down both the power and volume up button. When the splash screen appears hold down the volume down button only. The screen calibration test is now also available.

Hey that works ! Something else to play with...

I know you know way more about it. I'm just a button pusher..

import uft.py

sys.argv = ["","HomePatrol-1_V2_04_01.scn"]
uft.main()

Can you explain what needs to be done. How do we get the .scn file to open ?

Code:
import uft.py
import sys
sys.argv = ["","HomePatrol-1_V2_04_01.scn"]
uft.main()

Just keep getting syntax error.

 

[nosig55]

I used the cmd prompt in win 8

uft.py filename.scn

then you end up with a dir of .bin files
