Bricked Eye-fi Pro card
Posted: Sat Sep 02, 2017 5:38 am
Hi,
I purchased my Eye-fi pro card a while ago (±3 years) and all was well. However, three months ago I've upgraded to a new smartphone and was naively looking for the eye-fi app to download it... that's when I learned that meanwhile there was a decision to drop support for the card.
Ever since, I was trying to re-configure the card once again so that I could use in Direct Mode (which is the only mode that I've used it anyhow).
- I've replaced my desktop since then as well so I don't have an existing installation of the eye-fi desktop edition which is actually well configured and is working.
- The original EyeFi desktop application is no longer functional as it immediately alerts that it cannot reach eye-fi servers and then shuts down
- The Keenai app & desktop application both reject my card saying that it is no longer supported.
- Was looking around the internet for the Mac (I've got a Mac) utility X2 application that should save me... it was tough as all links are broken but then I found it somewhere in the web... downloaded it but it breaks just like the original EyeFi desktop application meaning it immediately alerts that it cannot reach eye-fi servers and then shuts down
- I don't have the (damn) upload key and couldn't find any way to get a hold of it although I know (according to the forums) that once I have it, there are several alternatives which should be able to revive the wifi ability of the card for direct mode (which is what I'm looking for)...
so, really, any help would be very much appreciated.
thanks in advance,
GB.
