Flipper Zero developer Q&A

August 6th 2022

Below are my notes regarding every question asked and answered, covering both sessions.
While the 1st session's audio is lost to time, I have a full recording of the second session.
Stream and download the MP3 here: https://nc.dj.je/s/9FZAqbs9LwcSnio (I'm looking for a better way to host the file, perhaps I might upload the next one to archive.org)

NOTE: The transcription of questions and answeres may contain errors, take it all with a grain of salt.

Reset Forgotten FZ PIN

On newer firmware versions (0.77 and later), you can factory reset the device by holding UP and BACK for 30 seconds. There is no well-known method to clear a forgotten PIN without resetting the entire device.

Old method for firmware versions before 0.77

⚠️ This method is only to be used for Flipper devices on old firmware! If performed on an updated device, it may make things worse. All liability falls on yourself if you proceed.

Flipper Zero firmware differences

{Originally posted in FZ Unleashed firmware Discord}

I hate the split of the two types of people this product attracted. There's the people who understand that pre-orders are not going to deliver on everything promised, and they understand what this product CAN do and what it CAN NOT. Then there's the others "haha funny dolphin thing hack literally everything brrrrrrrrr" and shit themselves when they realize it cant! I think it's beautiful the amount of progress made on the firmware since pre-orders started arriving, and I think it's healthy that these forks are growing as well. The Flipper team could have EASILY kept the firmware proprietary or locked down the device to completely prevent illegal use, but they didnt. With all the people asking the same questions about magically hacking stuff without understanding the actual capabilities of the device, ~~I'm afraid **the flipper team is being coaxed into moving tow
