# wz_mini_hacks

Run the latest stable firmware on your v3 cam and have root access to the device.  This is in early stages of testing, use CAUTION if you are unsure of what you are doing.  No support whatsoever is offered with this release.

## Features

* Modifies /dev/mtd2, changes the unknown root password to WYom2020, adds a hook to /etc/init.d/rcS to run a script ( /media/mmc/run_mmc.sh ) from the micro sd card 30 seconds after the camera has booted successfully.  
* Flashes the latest firmware during installation ( 4.36.8.32, as of this writing )
* Enables SSH, telnet will be disabled after installation.
* Add your own changes to run at boot into the script on the micro sd card located at /media/mmc/run_mmc.sh, mount nfs, run ping, whatever you want.
* Ability to update to the latest stable or beta firmware, this mod should survive updates ( as long as the firmware update does not change /dev/mtd2. Future versions of this mod may block updates if desired )
* An Internet connection is required to download and patch the files required for this to work.
* Inspired by HclX and WyzeHacks, borrowed busybox and dropbearmulti from his v2 repo.  Bless you for all your work!  You are the master!
