I bricked my Dreame Z10 Pro with the helped of Valetudo, brought to you by Soren Beye, a.k.a. “Hypfer”.
Yes I AM PISSED, but not about the bricking itself. I get that there are risks, I willingly toke them, what I am pissed about is getting shadow-banned on Github because I reported it. The issue I opened was deleted and I can’t create a new one nor can I fork the project. I wasn’t rude, asking for a refund or anything. I posted it there to; 1. warn others and 2. see if there was any change of recovery.
Now in hindsight I could have know based on this so-youve-been-banned . I don’t what hot piece of garbage this is but it should have been a clear sign. Stay away from Valetudo.
I spoke to a couple of people on the Valetudo Discord, while they were nice and helpful, even mods (yes, multiple) on his own Discord report he, Soren, “is like that”.
For the interested, here is my issue I tried to submit the second time. I didn’t think I needed to save it the first time.
