It sucks that flashing roms onto bluetooth devices isn’t something you see really often or at least for me I’d have messed with this many times had it been more prominent, even though I’d barely know what I’d be doing
P.S. 25/08/2023: Added original sound files in description! 10/08/2023: In case anyone is interested, I added the download links for both the original and modded firmwares...
My god I'd have a field day fixing so many Chinesium receivers if I had the stuff or knowhow. The annoying voices, one of them using Windows 8's logon sound... One using the iPhone notification sound... How they get away with it is ridiculous.
I had one that made one of the iPhone notification sounds. The speaker was trying to make itself look like a person as well, the design was kinda like a person. (Not a specific person)
This is awesome. Some of my BT speakers when you turn them on or put the radio on they blast at max volume. Is there any way to change that? If I could change the sounds on some of my speakers I'd use my voice or a favorite celebrity. I'd make a Mark Wahlberg Bluetooth speaker. Or one of eminem.
hey, can you contact me on discord? xzVice#9386 we could open the speakers apart, and then you could send me a photo of the internal circuitry, we might be able to do something :)
i used HxD editor, thought any hex editor would do the job just fine... I found the sounds inside of it thanks to the metadata, i was looking at the binary and i found some weird ID3 strings, and so i thought: what are these? i searched them up on google and found out it was some header for the mp3 format... i basically got my audio files, compressed them, since the original sounds were really compressed, and padded the remaining bytes with zeroes ... iirc i also matched the audio codec and stuff like that
I got a small BT receiver, I wanted to use my favorite non BT headphones with, but every time I turn it on or off, it makes a DA-DING sound on full blast, almost blowing my ear drums out. I'll use it for a BT box instead.
My Bluetooth headphones keeps playing every "battery low" audio message every 5 minutes interrupting the music which is frustrating. I'm gonna dismantle it and remove that from code someday
they are usually write/read protected after flashing, only way to find out is to search for data sheet and see if you can dump the firmware for modification.
@UltraNyan I actually read a github page about this and yeah you are right , I'm pretty sure there's some Chinese firmware these manufacturers use to just dump the audio files. Plus it seems like these chips are a one time program thing because if you bought the original chip with no firmware and connect the USB pins according to the dayasheet it literally shows up as a USB device on your computer whereas connecting a Bluetooth module with the programmed chip won't show up on the USB unless you write a certain clock and data signal pulse to the data + and data - pins to put it to download mode. Even if you manage to do all that there seems to be some write protection put into the chip and yeah I'm pretty sure anybody in China van somehow get their hands onto the firmware but not us
@@xzVice How to do it? I have raw binary loaded from my module, i can play it in windows media player (everything plays in sequence, modes, numbers and other strings) but how to replace it? Any software can extract it so I can replace it and repack? The only thing i can change is the BT name in Notepad++
I don't why these stupid manufacturers don't realise that customers don't want stupid sounds in Bluetooth receivers/speakers. This is the one thing I check before buying such devices: whether it has sounds or not. Unfortunately, most of them have. Why can't they add a button to adjust the sound effect volume or disable it? Who wants to hear a loud noise every time a device gets connected or it's turned on/off?
Their whole culture has speaking things... I purchased a door lock off of amazon the other day and it ACTUALLY speaks. "door unlocked. oh-oh-five". Our Xiaomi gateway for some IoT devices also speaks. WHY? STOP IT!
Greetings. Seeing this video got me really interested on doing it myself. Since I didn't have an EEPROM, I ordered a CH341 kit but, now that it arrived, I've got to notice that it only has a 16 pinout while my speaker's IC have 24. Since I'm new to the ROM flashing universe, I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me with some hints on what to do next. PS: the IC on my speaker is a JieLi
the ch341 is a flash programmer, you cant program a bluetooth IC with it... if you only have a jieli ic on your board, it means that the flash is built inside the bt ic, so you cant do much without having a development interface to program the jieli ic...
Sadly mine does not have an external eeprom but a friend of mine has a bluetooth soeaked with appotech microcontroller which needed an external eeprom instead of JL(jieli) and i could dump the memory and reprogram it
My bro.. is it possible to turn down the default volume of that turn on voice prompt by connecting to a PC or something.. it's too loud to turn on the speaker at night to the point that I don't use it at night..
if you have discord, write me there xzVice#9386 maybe we can figure out how to mod yours :) i'd need to see the internal circuitry to tell you if you could do it or not or if you don't have discord let me know another place where i could contact you...
@@0xffensive yes you do! i tried to read it without desoldering, and it did not work… the circuitry around the flash might interfere and block the communication between the programmer and the flash.
@@xzVice ok, how do i fit the chip into CH341A? i mean the pins look much smaller than what the programmer supports. do i need any kind of special adapters or something?
what program did you use to modify the firmware?, and what kind of bluetooth module is it?... just gonna make a really sussy speaker, just gonna troll my friends
HxD. In another comment they mentioned that they dumped the firmware with a CH341 device, found the ID3 headers for the mp3 files, replaced them, padding the remaining space with zeroes (to not alter the size of the firmware) and then reflashed it.
well, you first need a bluetooth device that has a separated flash IC, then you can try dumping the flash and try modding the sounds... ofc you can just make the sounds silent
Those voices are not good considering the security. I have hacked many chinese Bluetooth speakers and receivers and these voices made hacking so easy. I have a external blutooth with a powerful antenna. And whenever I hear chinese sounds like "Bluetooth device is ready to pair" in my neighbour, my automatic Bluetooth adaptor quickly connects to the speaker. And voila! Your neighbour's speaker is hacked! Let your neighbour scratch his/her head about where the weird music is playing! Or maybe he/she might be terrified if there any ghost entered the speaker. No chance your neighbour can use his/her speaker now. Lol
Why isn't this the official voice of all those Chinese Bluetooth speakers? Manufacturers would drown in money.
