dreame-valetudo rekeyauthorizes your SSH key on an already-rooted robot over USB, without
reflashing it — the only way back in when a robot's key is lost, and the only way to revoke one.
Firmware, Secure Boot, and calibration are untouched;--keep-existingkeeps the current keys
too, and--dry-runprepares and checks the change without writing.dreame-valetudo rekey --over-sshdoes the same over the robot's own Wi-Fi, with no cable and
nothing flashed, using the serial from the label under the dustbin. Use the USB route when the
robot won't boot far enough for Wi-Fi, or after an interruptedrekeywrite.dreame-valetudo restorerebuilds a stock recovery kit from the pre-root capture, keyed to that
one robot's identity, and puts a fastboot robot back on stock firmware. It leaves toc0 and user
data alone, watches for the robot dropping back into FEL on its own, and picks the boot check up
again without flashing twice.dreame-valetudo benchruns hardware test campaigns against the real production phases and records
them, ordered by how much risk each step carries. Scenarios cover interruptions, wrong-device
mix-ups, restore, and package installs.- A rooted robot you adopt can capture a current factory backup without reinstalling anything, then
check and atomically update Valetudo without stepping through the intermediate WebUI releases. - Read-only recon can adopt a robot that was rooted by an older or manual method, no reflash needed.
If you would rather re-root it with the current method, it still offers that. - Runs now survive closed terminals and dropped SSH connections in a private tmux session. Re-running
the command can rejoin the run, pending questions are remembered, and concurrent runs cannot race
one another. - Fedora, RHEL 8 through 10, and openSUSE now have self-contained RPM packages. A new
uninstall
command finds Homebrew, package, source-tool, and macOS installer copies without touching robot
backups. - DustBuilder guidance is now written per model and stamped with the date it was last verified. When
a config isn't recognized yet, the tool walks you through uploading it, with the current privacy
and follow-up warnings.
Added
- Setup now asks for the serial from the label under the dustbin and saves it, so a lost SSH key
never means fetching the robot and turning it over.rekeyoffers it instead of asking again.
Changed
benchnow coversrekey: the preview, the no-flash Wi-Fi route, the USBmiscrewrite, and a
mistyped serial. Each write scenario confirms the robot accepts the new key before passing.- A failed
benchscenario now records and prints why it stopped, so a report distinguishes an
unreachable robot from a check that actually failed. bench planandbench reporttake--suiteto scope them to what a release changed
(smoke,key-recovery,lifecycle,restore).- Choosing which SSH key reaches the robot now shows each key's type, fingerprint, and comment,
not just its path. - Steps needing the robot's Wi-Fi AP now wait for it and detect it, rather than asking whether you
have joined — a question that cannot see a VPN holding the robot's address. - Adopting a robot that was already rooted, and building an image for one, now say up front that the
key you upload will not take effect on it and point atrekey. Choosing to re-root in the hope of
regaining SSH access cost a destructive flash for nothing. - All persistent files now live under
~/dreame-valetudo/, keeping disposable work apart from the
irreplaceable backups. Existing layouts migrate forward automatically, and the migration never
overwrites anything. - Recon now records where the complete three-slice recovery capture came from, writes it out as the
portabledreame_recovery_backup.zip, and keeps any trusted pre-root capture in place when you root
the robot later. - Release packages now require glibc 2.28 or newer, and are tested on deliberately picked oldest and
current Linux and macOS hosts, on both processor architectures. - The README now marks the X40 Ultra, X30 Ultra, and L10s Pro Ultra Heat R2338 as hardware verified.
- Status and other informational commands no longer end with an unrelated continuation prompt, and
their output stays on screen after a tmux session closes. - The UART walkthrough now includes the known-good USB image, complete identity backup, exact
DustBuilder options, verified transfer, docking, and post-install success checks. - Recon now records the model it inspected, and rooting won't flash unless that record matches the
selected model, checked before the robot is touched at all. A robot whose recon completed under
0.2.x carries no such record, so runrecon --forceon it before rooting.
Fixed
- A download that fails because you are on the robot's AP now waits for you to rejoin your normal
Wi-Fi and carries on, instead of ending the run. - When the robot's Wi-Fi AP can't be reached, the tool now names the most common cause it cannot
see: a VPN routing the robot's fixed address takes it before the robot ever does, and nothing
else about the connection looks wrong. - After a run pinned to one robot with
DREAME_ROBOT, the follow-up question no longer offers to
set up another robot the environment has already ruled out. - Selecting text with the mouse now says "copied" and returns the pane to the prompt, instead of
leaving it in a copy mode that swallowed your answer to the question you just selected from.
Wheel scrolling is unaffected, andDREAME_TMUX_MOUSE=offstill hands the mouse back entirely. - Destructive work now binds the selected model, staged image, saved config, live robot, and backup
together before writing. R2338/R2338H and L20 hardware look-alikes are matched exactly, ambiguous
USB setups stop, and every flash response must beOKAY. - Interrupted or rejected recon, root, restore, migration, image staging, and factory-backup work no
longer leaves partial state behind that could authorize a later write or overwrite a known-good
backup. - Closing a terminal or pressing Ctrl+Z during a flash no longer interrupts the write; uncertain
attempts stop safely instead of silently repeating, and completed stock flashes resume only their
physical boot check. - Robot SSH no longer falls back to a password or to unrelated agent keys. Factory backups are
checked before they're published, and the key, device-ID, Wi-Fi, and implementation repairs all
confirm the connected robot before changing anything on it. - Downloads and SSH transfers now time out instead of hanging, a verified cached Valetudo stays
usable on the offline robot AP, and the libusb transport streams large recovery and flash files
instead of loading them into memory whole. - Robot identities, keys, recovery data, state, and bench records are kept private; shareable logs
redact robot names, credentials, public keys, flash tokens, and other identifying values. - macOS packages now bundle all the FEL runtime libraries, Linux browser steps use
xdg-open,
package updates and removals print native commands, and cutting a release backfills any missing or
mismatched assets across the project mirrors.

dreame-valetudo rekeyauthorizes your SSH key on a robot that is already rooted, over the USB
cable, without reflashing it. Rooting installs a key only the first time: the built image writes
its key to the robot'smiscpartition only when no key is there yet, andmiscsurvives a root
flash — so a robot whose key was lost could not be reached again, and re-rooting it did not help.
rekeyreads that partition off the robot, makes your key the one it accepts, and writes it back,
leaving the firmware, Secure Boot, and the robot's calibration untouched. Any key it is about to
stop accepting is named first — this is also the only way to revoke a key you have lost.
--keep-existingkeeps the current keys authorized as well, and--dry-runprepares and checks
the change without writing to the robot. It asks for the USB button sequence twice, once to read
and once to write, so that deciding what to change never runs down the robot's power window. If a
write is ever interrupted, the next run offers to put back the copy it saved beforehand rather
than reading a half-written partition. -
dreame-valetudo rekey --over-sshdoes the same thing without the USB cable, the Breakout PCB, or
flashing anything. A rooted robot sets its own root password from the serial printed on the label
under the dustbin, so joining the robot's own Wi-Fi and typing that serial is enough to authorize
your key. It replaces, keeps, names every key it is about to stop accepting, and honours
--dry-runexactly as the USB route does, then proves the robot accepts the new key before the
tool records it. The serial is never shown as you type it, never written to the run log, and never
kept once the run ends. Use the USB route instead when the robot will not boot far enough to bring
its Wi-Fi up, or when a previousrekeywrite was interrupted. -
dreame-valetudo restorerebuilds a stock recovery kit from the pre-root capture, keyed to that
one robot's identity, and puts a fastboot robot back on stock firmware. It leaves toc0 and user
data alone, watches for the robot dropping back into FEL on its own, and picks the boot check up

together before writing. R2338/R2338H and L20 hardware look-alikes are matched exactly, ambiguous
USB setups stop, and every flash response must beOKAY. - Interrupted or rejected recon, root, restore, migration, image staging, and factory-backup work no
longer leaves partial state behind that could authorize a later write or overwrite a known-good
backup. - Closing a terminal or pressing Ctrl+Z during a flash no longer interrupts the write; uncertain
attempts stop safely instead of silently repeating, and completed stock flashes resume only their
physical boot check. - Robot SSH no longer falls back to a password or to unrelated agent keys. Factory backups are
checked before they're published, and the key, device-ID, Wi-Fi, and implementation repairs all
confirm the connected robot before changing anything on it. - Downloads and SSH transfers now time out instead of hanging, a verified cached Valetudo stays
usable on the offline robot AP, and the libusb transport streams large recovery and flash files
instead of loading them into memory whole. - Robot identities, keys, recovery data, state, and bench records are kept private; shareable logs
redact robot names, credentials, public keys, flash tokens, and other identifying values. - macOS packages now bundle all the FEL runtime libraries, Linux browser steps use
xdg-open,
package updates and removals print native commands, and cutting a release backfills any missing or
mismatched assets across the project mirrors.

2026-07-23 22:59:59 -07:00 | 514 commits to main since this release- fix: decrypting the recovery backup no longer fails on an in-use robot. The three flash slices
share one keystream, but 0.2.0 recovered it from each slice on its own — which only works for the
sparse boot slice, so the dense rootfs/userdata slices of a robot with real maps and logs failed
with "keystream recovery failed". They're now decrypted together, the sparse slice anchoring the
shared keystream for the dense ones; re-running fills in any slice a prior run left behind. The
sealed.bindumps and the recovery.zipwere always preserved, so nothing was ever lost. - fix: the shareable run log now includes first-run workspace migration. Migration runs before
the log can be created (the log lives inside the folder it sets up), so its output — including any
problem it reported — was previously missing from the log; it's now captured and replayed in. The
recovery-backup slice names (dustx100/101/102) stay readable in the log instead of being
redacted as credential-shaped, so a shared log shows which slice a step refers to.

2026-07-23 18:29:26 -07:00 | 518 commits to main since this release- ux: the terminal output is redesigned for readability — long operations show a live spinner
with elapsed time instead of minutes of silence, phase headings show where you are in the
journey, output from the robot is set off from the tool's own messages, text wraps to your
terminal, and the long walkthroughs pause between chunks instead of printing everything at once.
RespectsNO_COLOR; piped output stays plain. - change: everything the tool creates now lives under one
~/dreame-valetudo/folder —work/
(working files) andbackups/(your factory un-brick backups). Upgrading migrates your old files
into it automatically on first run (or rundreame-valetudo migrate); uninstalling never touches
your backups. - feat: name your robots — spaces and capitals are kept — and manage them with
dreame-valetudo rename,forget, andclean(each picks from a list if run with no name).
Re-runningreconon a robot you've already set up reuses it instead of making a duplicate, and
you can name the very first robot right away. - feat: every factory backup now carries a
manifest.jsondescribing what it is, and backups
are identified by hardware — renaming a robot updates its backups automatically. - feat: running
reconon a robot you've already reconned offers to refresh it, instead of only
hinting at--force. - ux: when a model doesn't expose a serial over fastboot (e.g. the X30), the
check.builder
rescue block flags that it's expected rather than a missing field to chase down. - change: the recon disaster-recovery backup is now called the "recovery backup" throughout —
therecon --no-samplesflag is now--no-recovery-backup, and the on-diskdreame_samples.zip
is renamed todreame_recovery_backup.zipfor you on upgrade. - feat: your recon recovery backup is decrypted on upgrade into a compressed, readable stock
image (the sealed originals are kept), so it's usable locally instead of an opaque blob. Guarded by
a free-space check; skip it withDREAME_NO_DECRYPT=1. - feat: on upgrade the tool prints what changed since the version you last ran (from the bundled
changelog) — once, then stays quiet. - feat: a best-effort, once-a-day check notes when a newer release is out and prints the right
upgrade command for how you installed it. It fails silently offline; opt out with
DREAME_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1. - fix: logs you're invited to share no longer leak identifying secrets —
diagnoseno longer
records your robot's device key, and the run log now redacts the identifying flash token that
previously slipped the scrubber. - feat: on Linux,
sudo dreame-valetudo install-udevsets up sudo-less USB access in one command
(macOS needs nothing; the.deb/.rpmstill do it automatically at install). If it isn't set up,
the tool now stops up front with that exact reminder, instead of failing later with a cryptic USB
permission error. - feat: a Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE
.rpmis now published alongside the.deb— same self-contained
bundle, and it sets up sudo-less USB access automatically at install too.

unplugging the USB / removing the Breakout PCB — are now shown as a highlighted ACTION banner so
they don't get lost in the scrolling output. The FEL sequence now spells out powering the robot
OFF first, and the "factory-reset it first if it ever touched the Dreame / Mi Home app" note is
highlighted up front. - docs: the Homebrew install steps now include the one-time
brew trust sisyphusmd/tap
(Homebrew 6.0+ refuses to load formulae from an untrusted third-party tap).

2026-07-17 13:39:47 -07:00 | 567 commits to main since this releaseA guided, idempotent, one-command tool to root supported Dreame robot vacuums and install
Valetudo, on macOS or Linux.- Roots the Allwinner MR813 "gen3" fastboot family from one script (X40 Ultra & Master,
X30 Ultra, L40 / L20 Ultra, L10s Ultra, L10s Pro Ultra Heat R2338/R2338H, D10s Pro / Plus,
W10 Pro, Mova S20 Ultra / P10 Pro Ultra); older UART-shell models get a guided manual walkthrough. - Non-destructive recon first: Phase 1 exercises the whole USB path at zero brick risk, and a
full factory/identity backup is taken before any change. - Auto-detects the FEL device, checksum-pins every download, runs an OKAY-checked flash, and installs
Valetudo over SSH; stops only for the three steps a script can't do (FEL buttons, web build, go/no-go). - Handles the known post-root gotchas: negative-
deviceIdrepair and secure-storage miio-key
restore (both automatic inpush), plusfix-impl,fix-wifi, and adiagnosepass. - Guided SSH key setup: pick an existing key or generate a dedicated one; the public key is staged
to a non-hidden path for the dustbuilder upload, and a generated key is kept with the backup. - Writes a scrubbed, shareable run log per invocation (
~/dreame-valetudo-work/logs/) — the
console narrative plus external commands, exit codes, and per-command timing, with home paths,
identity values, device IDs, and keys redacted — so a failed run can be reported safely, and a
successful flash records its margin against the robot's watchdog (DREAME_NO_LOG=1opts out). - Runs on Apple Silicon, where Google's
fastbootcan't see the gadget: one libusb fastboot client
on every OS. Idempotent and multi-robot; each robot resumes where it left off. - Installs four ways (Homebrew for macOS + Linux, a Debian
.deb, a signed + notarized macOS.pkg,
a plain tarball), each self-contained. Valetudo binary pinned and SHA-256 verified.
