Tech Writer: Recognition for the technical writers of AFF - Issue reason: Outstanding work on the FG ICC issues. Technical Contributor: For members who share their technical expertise. - Issue reason: The insane amount of work he has put into the Falcon FG ICC is unbelievable. He has shared everything he has done and made a great deal of it available to us all. He has definitely helped a great deal of us with no personal gains to himself.

I did this by accident on the ICC and the normal generated key "works" (though I'm not sure if that unlocked anything extra) but the Cluster tells me "Invalid key" so I'm doing another brute force scan.

Apparently, this 2nd unlock request enables the write functions (which I've so far been unsuccessful in performing).
Still here?

Ok, so the ICC accepted the key generated from seed 00 00 00, but the Cluster didn't.

Many attempts were made over many days (and program changes made also, mostly because the Cluster has some strange timing going on, so I needed a more chain like approach to guessing keys rather than timed based messages [I'll probably post a link to Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" sometime] because I clocked the 3 byte key a couple of times without a match)...

It struck me though, when it asks for the key to seed 00 00 00 - maybe I should send in the last key I used again. And that works, no more "Invalid key" error. But I'm not sure if it unlocks anything extra, yet.

Interesting though, this little quirk, so I thought I'd post about it. Anyway, back to getting no-where with dumping the firmware on the Cluster (but, anyone who somehow already has the FG2 Cluster firmware, feel free to give it to me!!!).
