My daughter seems to have everything that has a Hannah Montana brand on it but I haven’t seen this photocube yet. It’s probably a good thing since after reading about this Hacked Hannah Montana Photocube I would probably have it in a bunch of pieces on my workbench.
"A 1Mb A29L800( datasheet ) flash chip and a micrcontroller hidden behind a big black blob along with the LCD, buttons, USB port and an on-off switch. With some reading on Sprite’s blog and modifyng his script a little, I was able to verify that the microcontroller was indeed a ST2205U. If you browse through main.c, a function is_photoframe checks if the controller is a ST2205U. So I inserted a printf(”Response : %s\n”,buff) to verify if the chip gave back the correct string, which it did."

ummm…so what does this hack do again? I’m confused.

I didn’t see where it says what it does? Am I missing something?

This hack allows the user to control it from command line.

The page is a walkthrough on how to go ahead on Sprite’s hack on linux with instructions.
You can send messages to the screen without the hack too. It verifies that it uses the same microcontroller
as the one Sprite hacked. When trying to send pictures to it, it unfortunately got bricked.

wow, what a really useful/entertaining hack.
