So I have the hard drive to the brains of an i3 ( no, not the ecu - the other brain as robin williams would say! ;-)). It's a sata 200gb drive. The partition layout is documented in bmw's technical dicumentation. I've reverse engineered the firmware update: it's a linux os with updates aes encrypted with a key in a known location on the file system (the bash script is signed, but in clear text).
So I thought I'd just plug the drive in a sata bay and clone it for further analysis... Here's the rub: the drive (confirmed functional) is not turning on :-(
Help! I'm sure there's a hardware option to get to the content, but I'm a software guy! Anybody up for a challenge?
Thanks
