Hey my name is Matthew and I collect rare Anki items such as the playpen, big Cozmo and bingo. I have white prototype Vector and Cozmo now have a journal with TONS of info including NEW ssid and passwords and talk of a whiskey 2. I have every dvt vector and lots of parts. I'm trying to fix my dvt3 right now with no dfu/luck... I'm not a part of any community but can still contribute with rare firmware and inside knowledge.

I didnt know where to put them, but here is the link to a copy

May you SSH into the bot and run cat /proc/cmdline then send the output here? Is there anything special he does?

I'm currently running his firmware on one of my protos, but it acts just like a 1.4 firmware. However I haven't run it on a whiskey yet

edit: Just set the CPU/RAM frequency to normal; it runs at like half the speed of normal firmware

Its just different then Im used to I guess. Ill comb it for stuff and see. Ill grab the command line for you and edit this with the result as soon as I can.

What we know about Whiskey DVT2 is that the designs were finished, but none were produced.

Poor Victor. That looks like a Victor DVT2 head on a prod (maybe Whiskey-EVT) body with Whiskey sensors, probably a pre-Whiskey-DVT1 experiment. He could be running an upgraded partition table and dev recovery. I have seen one bot like that but he was a DVT3 head.

I would just like to note that I have been working on scripts to get Android Victor DVT1s and Feb 9 kernel DVT2s working on modern firmware. I'll write a readme soon. https://github.com/kercre123/victor-dvt-upgrade
