Per-Key RGB + Custom Macro Mod for 'Portronics Hydra 10' Coming Soon. Need Original Firmware Backup
Hey guys,
I successfully created a mod for this keyboard that enables per-key RGB customization and custom macros, and I’ll be uploading it very soon.
Unfortunately, when I first started modding the keyboard, I forgot to make a backup of the original firmware. Before releasing the mod publicly, I need someone who owns the same keyboard model to back up the stock firmware and upload it somewhere such as Google Drive or Mega.
This is important so users can safely install the mod and also restore the keyboard back to its original condition if needed.
The firmware backup process is explained below.
- Just download Sinowealth KB Tool and extract the .zip file
- you will see sinowealth-kb-tool.exe
- connect keyboard with Wired-USB
- open CMD or PowerShell in the same folder as the .exe and run these three commands (reconnect USB between each one)
# Firmware backup./sinowealth-kb-tool read -d portronics-hydra10 hydra10_backup.hex
# Bootloader backup./sinowealth-kb-tool read -d portronics-hydra10 -s bootloader hydra10_bootloader.hex
# Full dump./sinowealth-kb-tool read -d portronics-hydra10 -s full hydra10_full.hex
- you will see these 3 files in folder
'hydra10_backup.hex'
'hydra10_bootloader.hex'
'hydra10_full.hex'
Please zip them up and share a download link (Google Drive, Mega, etc.)
