how people modify chip memories that shouldnt be modified?

654 views

Like everyone else on the internet ive seen people running doom on some wild stuff

But i never comprehend how people manage to get it on the memory of things that dont have external acess to their memory, like the people who managed to run it on a threadmill

Like, how do you change the data on those chips that dont give you acess directly to their data in any simple way like a usb connection?

Many smart devices use a common standard-issued chips. Many of those chips have manuals, that you can freely download from the Internet.

If the device has separate chips for CPU and memory, all you have to do is to identify Flash memory chip, download the manual, connect the wires to the correct legs, and send electric pulses to rewrite the chip. Which legs to connect, and which pulses to send will be described in the manual.

If the CPU and memory are combined in a single chip, it is possible that the chip is write-locked. But – its still possible, that the developers just didn’t. Then you can rewrite it with the same process.

Finally, if the chip is write-locked, you can still rewrite it – with a super secret magic of buying a new one and replacing it.
