hey everybody this is tom
so listen i've got these clover pos
systems this is the latest
um system that clovers put out but what
happens is um you cannot reprovision
those
you'll put them on a different bank or
put you know any other kind of software
on these things so i'm on a mission
to try and figure out how we can
repurpose these machines you know get
into them unlock them whatever you can
see here's the the clover logo but um so
what i've been doing is i've been
fooling around with these things because
i'm not going to throw them away because
these things are expensive
they would make a really good laptop i
mean i'd like to put a good tablet
or whatever so what i here's what i
figured out so far now
on the back of these machines
there's this little disc right here if
you pop this disc off
there's a little plate
right here you see this little plate
this plate is magnetized
it's um it's
it's just i don't know why they do it
but it's like a little magnet if you
pull that off of there
look what happens
over here
oop i dropped my screwdriver let me grab
that
over here
there's a little port
see this port right here
that's a micro usb port
you can put a usb cable in there
you know with a micro usb
and hook up to your computer now here's
what i've been doing i
i don't have software on my computer to
um you know like flash
phones or anything or you know all that
kind of stuff i've always had people do
them for me
but
this here
is a port you can put a micro usb cable
in there
on the back of these so somebody
who is able to flash phones should be
able to flash this thing also on this
side
there are two little
buttons right here see those
it's hard to see my big fingers gonna
get in here but
there's two little buttons in here
like the reset buttons
so what i've been doing
i've been
you know on a cell phone on a cell phone
you can press the the volume up volume
down and the power button at the same
time
to reboot the phone into um you know
boot loader mode
i've been trying to do that with this
unit with the power button down here
underneath
and pressing these two buttons at the
same time
now what happens is it it sometimes
it will lock up you know the the screen
it locks the whole thing up
but don't fear i've done it like a
hundred times
and but there's there's a certain
sequence i don't know what the sequence
is you know like
power on
volume up volume down then reverse the
process or all three buttons at once but
i keep on doing it i keep getting the
screen to come on
but i can't figure out the exact
sequence with pushing
these
two reset buttons in here
on the back
let's let's get the focus on there yeah
see those
there's two reset buttons right there
press those two one i do know this when
the screen's on
one of these buttons controls the volume
it volume down
but the other one does not do the volume
up and i don't know why i don't know
what's up with that
but hopefully somebody can get into
these things
and help me figure this thing out man
because i want to re i want to repurpose
these machines or reprovision them if we
can get them unlocked we can put new
software on because all these things are
they're big cell phones now listen one
time
one time i got this thing to boot up and
i saw the little android robot on here
he flashed on here for about three
seconds i didn't but i didn't get a
chance to read what it said on the top
and then i released a button and it
disappeared so i'm telling you there's a
way there's a sequence to you know power
the you know the power button the two
buttons on the back then release them
there's a certain sequence i can't
figure it out but let's do this together
somebody who knows a little bit more
than i know
can get into these things i'm sure and
we can um you know fix this problem
there's a lot of people out there who
would love to be able to re-purpose
these machines
but if we can get them unlocked
we can get them reprogrammed and
re-flash a new rom on here now remember
this is a micro usb port over here i'll
flip it up you got to take you got to
take off this little
disc right here off the back this pops
right off
and it reveals that little micro usb
port right there
which you can hook to your computer so
you can flash and then there's these two
buttons right here
that
i'm almost positive i'm 100 positive
there's a certain sequence to push those
in with the power button to get these
things to go into boot logger mode so
let's do this together everybody help me
out leave some comments
i'll leave my contact info also
