UPDD escape

README.md

Tested with UPDD_07_01_59.dmg, but should work with newer versions as well.

Download latest version: touch-base.com (please use temporary email) 100% working download: youtube.com/watch?v=odqYsHNl6qM Please download with github.com/KristianAskk/Infinite-Storage-Glitch.

Instructions

1. install and start UDPP (with all the steps needed for setup). Use a temporary email address while allowing internet connections until the software works in test mode.

2. now block all connections from UDPP when you are ready to crack it (e.g. with Little Snitch)

3. install homebrew if you haven't done it already (brew.sh)

4. install coreutils and sqlitebrowser with

brew install coreutils && brew install --cask db-browser-for-sqlite

5. unload the default LaunchDaemon:

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.touch-base.updd.plist

Copy /Library/Preferences/updd/db/updd.db into your home directory and open the file with the DB Browser for SQLite. Make a backup of the file!!!

7. go to "Browse Data" and edit the following values in the following tables:

=== amf_user ===

password_expires = 2099-12-31

in all entries

=== updd_backup / updd_setting ===

value = 2099-12-31

where name contains registration and until

8. save the file and copy it back to /Library/Preferences/updd/db/updd.db. Make sure that UPDD is not running at the moment. The Commander and other tools can run.

9. copy com.touch-base.updd.cracker.sh and com.touch-base.updd.cracker.plist to /Library/LaunchDaemons

10. give yourself the rights to the new launcher file with

sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.touch-base.updd.cracker.plist

11. give the helper script execute permissions with

sudo chmod +x /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.touch-base.updd.cracker.sh

12. load the new launcher with

sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.touch-base.updd.cracker.plist

Done!

Hello, UPDD commander still pop up... It's really boring because I'm using a special keyboard on a software and when the window appear I can't control anymore.
I try all the method you describe but it doesn't work, when I change the info.plist the updd doesn't open anymore but my touch screen doesn't work anymore. I hope there is a way to do that I really need it.
Thank you in advance.
