Your device got pwned.
Let a PWNie fix it.
myPWNie is a cable that walks a stuck device straight into recovery mode. Plug it in, watch the horn light up, restore. No three-finger timing rituals. No stopwatch. No swearing.
Three steps. No hooves required.
Average time from brick to restore screen: about eleven seconds.
Plug the PWNie in
Device end into the port, host end into your machine. Either way. It's a cable, not a ritual.
Watch the horn glow
Pink means thinking. Blue means the device is sitting in recovery mode, waiting politely.
Restore like normal
Your usual desktop tool sees it and takes over. myPWNie goes back to being a very cute cable.
Will it fit my brick?
Type the model. The PWNie has opinions.

Questions, answered
Does this unlock anything?
No. What this provides is not an unlock, it puts the device into a custom recovery state. We built a custom recovery mode providing deep platform access.
Can it put my device in DFU?
Yes
Can it recover my device?
Yes it puts the device into factory recovery mode with NO button presses
Can it fix my device?
No. Yes? Maybe.
Supported devices
Currently works on devices with A13 processors. More CPU support will be added as tested. Be sure to join the mailing list if you're interested in helping test.
When can I buy one?
Not yet. Join the list above and you'll hear the moment the store opens. Price is locked at {{ price }} for list members.
Do I need to install software?
Nope. The cable does its part on its own. Your normal desktop restore tool does the rest as desired.
Can I use it as a regular charge cable?
Yes, and it will charge at full speed. It only gets clever when you ask it to.
Who makes it?
Source Parts Inc. designs and manufactures myPWNie in house. We're the OEM, not a rebadger. This is the original. Anything else with the name on it isn't ours, and we can't support it.
