    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    That's great news, thank you for the update ! Good luck with the last reel, and thank you again for taking the time to do this. I really appreciate your help. Hopefully the firmware dump will allow us to determine whether the A3026 series is a new hardware revision or simply another Type D...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Hi ArgieBargie, I hope your film scanning is going well. I just wanted to follow up regarding the original firmware dump from your A3026 unit. My return window is now getting quite close, so I need to decide soon whether to return my scanner or attempt another recovery method. Have you had a...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Thank you very much, that's very useful information. It's reassuring to know that your scanner showed exactly the same symptoms and was still able to accept another firmware from the SD card. Since my A3026 hardware revision is still unknown, I think I'll wait a little longer to see whether a...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Thank you, that's very encouraging to hear. Your experience sounds very similar to what I'm seeing now. It's reassuring to know that you were able to recover your scanner simply by reflashing the original Type D firmware. If you don't mind me asking, was your scanner also from the A3026...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    That's fantastic news, thank you very much! I completely understand your decision, and I think you're absolutely right to finish scanning your mother's films first.

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Thank you for your reply and for clarifying your reasoning. I completely understand your point of view. My hesitation is only because my A3026148BK01xxx unit appears to be different from the previously known revisions, and I wanted to avoid making things worse if it turned out to be a new...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Thank you very much for your reply. Your serial number is extremely close to mine, so your scanner is probably the closest match I've found so far. If you decide to extract the original firmware or make a complete SPI flash dump, do you plan to share it on the forum? I think it could be very...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Thank you very much for taking the time to test this on your own scanner. I really appreciate it. Your experiment is extremely valuable because the symptoms you observed after flashing the B firmware are exactly the same as mine: LCD working, power button still functional, but no response from...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Thank you both. Before I try the original Type D firmware, could you please clarify one point? Have you actually seen a Type D flashed with Firmware B showing exactly these symptoms (LCD OK, power button works, all other buttons dead, motors inactive), and then successfully recovered by...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Thank you for your suggestion. I have considered installing the original Type D firmware, but I am honestly a bit hesitant. I have read several reports from users who ended up with display issues after flashing an incompatible firmware, so I would prefer not to make the situation worse. My...
