How to read SD card or create a new SD card with KESS V2

Guide:How to read an SD card for Kess 5.017 or create a new one

128 MB XOR Key01-13.zip
https://mega.nz/#!kRxTwQxZ!Vw6g3ROBHr9w7aboGEe97UPIbv2ruVOvlLIZaH1HPDY
Zip Password = "kess5017"

Note: Only Kess 5.017 or 5.028, not for 3.099 etc.

Have the instructions for new SD cards:
You need :
WinHex and XorFiles v1.0 http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/xorfiles.html
Insert your Original SD-Card to Cardreader on PC.
Run WinHex, press F9 open Disk, read your SD-card.
Mark 208Bytes = 13 lines from 0x00000270 to 0x0000033F.

Copy 13 lines to new file.
Open in WinHex my Keyfile “128 MB XOR Key01-13.img”
Search and replace line 1 in your Keyfile with all line1 lines in “128 MB XOR Key01-13.img”
Search and replace line 2 in your Keyfile with all line2 lines in “128 MB XOR Key01-13.img”
….............................
Search and replace line 13 in your Keyfile with all line13 lines in “128 MB XOR Key01-13.img”

Save your new 128 MB XOR Key01-13.img
run XorFiles v1.0
Filename 1: = your original SD-Imagefile
Filename 2: = your new createt “SD128 MB XOR Key01-13.img” (with your 13 lines ;-)
Destination: = any filename for your new uncryptet Imagefile

if you have decrypted the files, you can integrate the decryptet image file with "ImDisk Virtual Disk
Driver" as a virtual drive and save the files to the PC.
Link to ImDisk https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/
If you want to use any new SD-Card in your Kess 5017, use Winhex to fill the SD-card with 00 .
put SD-card in Kess, power on Kess.
The 13-line KEY = 208 Bytes is x times on the SD.
From 0x000000D0 it is on some empty SD cards.
If you not found search any other line.
It is important that from line 0 always the 13 lines are
13, 26, 39, 52 ..... 4160 ..... 344032 etc.
that is, 0x0001040 is in decimal 4160,
13 rows = 208 bytes,
4160 divided by 208 = 20
Or 53FE0 = decimal 344032
344032 divided by 208 = 1654
that means if you think you have found the key you have to divide the address (decimal) by 208
without anything after comma.
then the start same Procedur to create a new “SD128 MB XOR Key01-13.img” file with new SDCard
Key.
Format the new SD-card with FAT , copy Files to SD-ard and crypt it with “XorFiles

Kess V2 (red board) reviews from a real professional

A lot of Kess V2 (red board) reviews and ideas from a real professional @euromod:

... just observe the pcb and random choose some parts on Kess V2 red board , then search them on tme / farnell / etc and also search for the same part on alibaba or similar china site. you will see different markings , labels of the clone parts .... and .... prices
but you already know that , I`m sure ...
here are some examples ,
in green fake , SK14

in green fake UL46

in green fake 27E diode

left side , fake 5V voltage regulator,

in green , fake 3.3V voltage regulator. in this picture you can observe also the genuine ST L9613B Kline interface

other genuine parts mounted

genuine Murata oscillator (on PCB) vs fake one

I have on another PC all the comparative photos because I used to rework this units.
.... anyway I will stop here because it`s a waste of time debating on this subject.
if you state that those clones are made with genuine parts (or the cloned parts are working like the genuine ones) I have no problem with that

Edit to update: just search for the parts I posted , fake Murata logo , fake ST logo , fake Texas Instruments logo.
mate , please feel free to send one of those parts via post mail to the original producer and you will have the right answer....
... as with all clones from opcom to ktag I don`t trust nobody and when possible I replace all parts with good parts from a good brand and trusted part supplier trying to minimize potential problems.
you defend the low cost parts saying also that those parts are not illegal ...
.... how about the clones build from these parts? are they legal?
on the other hand just do an firmware upgrade on this , and you will see how genuine is ....

and the genuine unit cost 10 euros ... (more then the whole cinese opcom , factory price is 2$ if you buy more. they can put your name on the IC , no problem)
the genuine part:
