Tested and failed..[Changing SN to a 4k model to use 4k features]

[Tanckom]

So, I saw the Xiaomi made again a dickmove, and applied to the new Xiaomi Yi 4K the possibility for the user to change WB, ISO, Shutter etc. ...

So i was looking threw the web, to maybe get my hand on a Yi 4k serial number.
I hoped, that the app recognized my Yi as a 4K model and somehow allowed me to use these features.

I found a picture here:

Where the SN: Z16V617ACN4764759 was.
I know the SN on the picture has several more numbers, however the app doesnt recognize them and simply show my regular SN number.

Maybe i missed something, however with the code:

sleep 5
#paste your desired sn below
test board config psn Z16V617ACN4764759

I still recieve the info that my device is a normal first version camera.
Anybody maybe has an idea what's missing?

If this would work, then we found a way to use WB etc. ... without autoexec.ash's.

We can sniff transmission between camera and app. Then we can fake response from normal camera to be recognized as 4k

Sounds like a plan, however dont know how to do that..
