Over the weekend we spotted a bug (thanks to kombat for pointing it). We have released gecko 1.20 now, please update to it. Toolbox remains 1.34.
Another Important changes on this Gecko release are:
- Improved Winbond Unlock detection, now its instant notification, allowing you stop drilling even faster after successful unlock
- Unlock Notification of Winbond now will perform a Flashing Screen and Audible Beep sound to notify user. (Sound requires buzzer add-on, details at bottom of the note).
- Added support for many variants of firmware (no more FW unknown messages).
- Support for add-in code for the Upcoming Buzzer for Lizard (details at bottom).
- Unlock Sound on PC on Toolbox 1.34
- Some Bugs killed.
Also we got reports of people now doing a variant of the original Geremia's Kamikaze unlock, they are using a Soldering Iron for drilling the hole on the IC. Somebody calls the method "thermal nuclear unlock" but we feel it’s un-proper since the heat does nothing to do with the unlock itself. Anyways it’s a good method that may work for some users. We received this small video tutorial of it using our Lizard hardware. (Thanks to intensify906 for the video)
It’s also a good method to try, especially with our upcoming buzzer add-on for Lizard. (Sound notification at unlock). Please note we DO NOT RECOMMEND to lock the board again as its shown in the following video, its not required.

Lizard Buzzer add-on:
We have had requests for many users (Russians mainly) to make an audible notification on the Lizard hardware, so we designed a simple buzzer add-on. This will open some possibilities like audio-visual unlock notification already implemented on code on Gecko 1.19.
The following picture shows a hand soldered buzzer, the final add-on will be only 1 wire install (yes it will require open the Lizard case and solder 1 wire).
This add-on will be available in 1-2 weeks, we will post final pictures of the board in a few days.
