    What are your thoughts on first downloading an update blocker before the rest of the steps? I am able to stay in privileged mode but most of the apps don’t work including Hulu Disney and Amazon prime. I can use Netflix and Chrome but cannot use the previous apps on chrome or as a standalone app. I might do another hard reset and install the update blocker before the other steps in this video and see if I can keep them working. Thanks

    Luckily, I found out about Nordictrack locking users out of administrator (privilege) mode within my 30-day trial basis. I called them today for a code to enable Netflix and they refused to provide one (I just found out about the secret code generator but decided to return bike instead). I told them to come pick up the machine. It's costing me freight + 10% of machine cost so that's the price of my lesson. Thing is, I wanted and would have continued to pay iFit subscription regardless but having viewing options like Netflix, Amazon Prime or UA-cam adds variety and they are denying us such. So once refund is processed, I'll look for alternatives.

    I have an older elliptical with an older, smaller tablet. My biggest complaint is when I bought the device it included quite a few workouts. It states on the machine it has 35 workouts. Over the years they reduced the "free" workouts. I find it insane I have to pay 40 bucks a month to watch old exercise videos they had to film once. It's twice what Netflix costs.
    I'd like to find a method to load some of those exercises back.

    Thanks for the info. I have a Proform Pro 5000 treadmill. I am getting good at making the software changes as I have done it a few times now - I just keep playing with it and loosing privileged mode - but my fault. I was not able to find the \SDCARD directory - as I don't have an SD card on this machine - but I'll keep looking for it. YES... do not upgrade once working as you mention. I am happy with my setup now; have ICONS on the home screen for CNN, FOX News, MSNBC, NBC and many others, and a nice window of 8 websites I visit from time to time; also added the clock widget and weather. I'd be interested how the .wolfDev prevents the privileged mode from being overwritten, and HOW IN THE WORLD did you discover that? rhetorical question. Anyway, thanks for the info. I have subscribed to your channel

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Рік тому +1

      The wolfdev exploit was discovered by another viewer of the channel. When I asked him how he figured it out he said he had a dump of the software that he was looking through the code and kept finding a check for that wolfdev file.
      It was pretty clear what it would do based on how the code was written
      The machine has reference to an SD card even if you don't have one installed. If you don't have the directory you can create it on the root of the storage and then create the wolfdev file and it will work

    I've tried a few different file managers, but I can't locate the "sdcard" file. I read through the comments, and noticed I could simply create a new one. I tried it, and to no avail, hasn't worked. I tried the wolfdev file, and I still get kicked out of privileged mode on reboot. I've followed your other videos and have had success with those. I'm going to keep tinkering. Would it be possible for you to share the link of the file manager you specifically used?
    Also, I'm not trying to run additional apps, I just want the ability to cast my screen to the tv in front of my treadmill so I don't have to look down as I'm following my iFit workouts. I tried pinning the settings app, but on reboot it's removed. It's weird, because it's the only app that happens to. I'm wondering if I get the file manager/wolfdev thing figured out it will resolve this. For now I'm just using the code generator...hoping that doesn't go away!

Increase speed, treadmill picks up the speed, but on zwift it stays the same and the qz doesn’t change. When I toggle back to iFit the screen is white with just the logo showing and doesn’t go back to the manual workout. It’s so close to work. Not sure how to fix.
