Hiho,

as far as I can recall, TomTom removed the USB storage mode because of
the Microsoft patent troll lawsuit (there was a mail on this list - I
can't find it right now...)

I can understand the motivation to remove USB storage, however I'm
pretty pissed because of the re-lockdown which is unnecessary.
Tivoization is just plain wrong IMHO.

To re-open the devices, my first step would be to intercept the
USB/Ethernet communication with Wireshark. Either you will see SSH
traffic and we would need to search for the client and the keys or you
will see HTTP traffic and the used URLs.

I did a quick search in the TomTom HOME binaries, but I didn't find
anything directly suspicious. Since I don't have one of the newer
devices, I can't do the Wireshark thing myself.

We used to "convert" TomTom devices to measurement control systems
(http://www.maintech.de/produkte/messtechnik/cockpit-bedienteil/), but
right now we're porting our stuff to Android (using the Qt Lighthouse
project).

Best regards,
Christian
