The full story

During ADT+ registration, the owner got stuck for days on the verbal password page: an endless spinner and no submit button on the website, and errors on the same page in the mobile app.

Claude Code decompiled the site's JavaScript, found a WebSocket message that moves registration past the broken step, and sent it by hand. Registration then completed.

Claude also wrote up the fix, which is on GitHub.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
