@neurolizer do you know if all bobcat 300’s can be flashed. I looked into crankkk a bit ago but my bobcat 300 couldn’t be flashed. I forget what the issue was but it was something related to a difference in hardware between certain serial numbers. I’d love to give it a go if its compatible now.
@naj548Bobcat 300 devices come in four different models that require different firmware. Identify your device model by examining the Serial Number located on its rear side.
Check out the appropriate wiki for your Bobcat 300 model:
Mine happens to be G285, which has this disclaimer near the bottom of the wiki:
“ONLY FOR BOBCAT 300 G285: Do not try to flash the eMMC of a Bobcat g285 model. Only use the SD card method as described in the appropriate wiki. There is a known problem with this device model where some units simply won’t accept the bootloader downloading command during eMMC flashing operations, therefore remaining stuck in the so-called Maskrom mode. The root cause is still unknown and we’re not aware of a permanent fix either. However, we’ve got a workaround: we maintain a dedicated platform Crankk OS build called "Bobcat G285M" that boots on these devices, but only from SD card.”
So I only flashed the bootfixer and run CrankkOS from SD card (per the wiki step by step instructions). Been running smoothly for a few months now.
@neurolizer Thank you! I will have to give this a shot again. I just pulled mine out and confirmed it’s a 285.
I switched from helium and I can still mine crankk and helium at the same time with the same hardware.. It is one of the few useful projects. Good support and friendly to all depin projects. This is the way to make depin great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
