Cant Unlock CVS 410 with 08 Challenge
edit: thanks to all the tipsters, i managed to unlock it using the "Legal Single Cam" technique (had to switch to a Bic pen instead of the multimeter probe, and worked in the first try). i just got a CVS 410 camcorder. tried to unlock with cronuskey response and its not unlocking. i am pretty sure its something i am doing wrong but dont know what... here is my pv2keys.txt from cronus.

oh great... first i buy the camcorder (after reading the forums) only to find out that the "blue" ones dont work. and now this after getting a 410 model... who can help me with a keycatch (or whatever its called) from the keystation.

you could try the shorting method described in the link.... only the blue ones? blue cameras work.... i think ur confusing the PV2 with a CAMCORDER. for camcorders, no. the blue sticky`d cams dont work, yet. as far as i know the only PV2`s that are not unlockable are 510`s. for you,.... try the shorting method, but remember... there is a risk of killing the thing.

Some clairifaction The shorting method that is being refered to is Legal Single Camera method - Is for Still cameras PV2's & not the OUT OF DATE one for camcorders RED/Blue (depending on where you buy) Model 410 Still Cameras are PV2's & can be hacked and very hard to kill, The updated cameras have an 08 challenge and will not unlock with any current cronus program. Model 510 has not been hacked. Camcorders with a Blue (New longer battery life) sticker are much harder to hack. Camcorders with blue (NEW) sticker or a Red stickers are a easily opened. Now to hack the still camera you can use the easy at home Legal Single Camera method forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=339" target="_blank">http://camerahacks.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=339 For the Camcorder go to forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=5209" target="_blank">http://camerahacks.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=5209

until i get to the shorting procedure trial-and-error, is there any way to identify the older cameras that are unlocakble by cronus, AT the time of purchase?

the Photo Guy. do u mean "one hour photo"? i hope he dosnt play that guy.... that movie was disturbing
