After a few months of usage, this firmware works spectacularly well in combination with MyTrezor's BTC wallet. Satoshilabs has recently released a new firmware with some fixes to make Trezor more usable in parallel from multiple services. Is there a chance that you are going to rebase your changes on top of the newer firmware? Thank you for your hard work so far.
Experimental trezor firmware testing

DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR FIRMWARE IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR RECOVERY SEEDS
I worked on a trezor firmware which supports XMR awhile back but stopped development around August last year. I want to "complete" the firmware soon and then release the source to github when it's somewhat stable. I'm releasing the binary since I need help testing the current version.
While there are user interaction limitations, the firmware is fully functional and can be used to sync accounts as well as transfer XMR from active accounts. Only simplewallet is supported at the moment and from my testing, windows is fairly stable while linux needs some work [FIXED].
The firmware is compatible with BTC and does not remove any functionality available in the official firmware. The source is upstream compatible and can be merged to the official source (if they want to). XMR uses the same seed as BTC so you can restore your old seed anytime and regain your old account.
There are important points to note:
- The viewkey is sent to the client. A bad client could potentially store these keys and see all incoming transactions to your account, privacy is then compromised.
- The client has no access to the sendkey and can only request the device to generate key images or sign transactions. Your funds are safe.
- It takes about 40ms to generate each key image. For large wallets, re-sync is going to take a while, so keep the wallet bin files.
- [FIXED] The send confirmation prompt is incomplete. It will be fixed in subsequent versions.
- [FIXED] There is no reconnect/retry implemented in simplewallet at the moment.
- Max mix level is 9

V0313: trezor_xmr_test_firmware_0313_linux64
V0313: trezor_xmr_test_firmware_0313_osx64
- Fixed Bus: 10 error
V0311
- Added reconnect handler when trezor is unplugged while simplewallet is active
- Added tx_seckey storage support to firmware

V0306
- Added binaries for linux-64 and osx-64
- Fixed usb transport bug in linux/osx
- Updated source to master b96147030cf06b7adacafebff196bc23a4b19199
- Added trezorctl to wipe, reset, recover the trezor
- Added trezorctl option to recover the monero mnemonic from the trezor seed given a specific address index
V0303
- Added send prompts when transferring xmr with multi destination support.
- Fix: added error handler when mixin level is > 9
- Fix: added error handler when sending to > 10 addresses in a single transaction.
V0301
- Test release
Upgrade instructions:
- Disconnect the trezor from the USB cable.
- Press both buttons on the trezor then connect the USB cable.
- Run upload.bat. Wait until new firmware upload is completed.
- Verify firmware fingerprint (from fingerprint.txt)
- Disconnect then reconnect trezor to USB.
- Go to MyTrezor.com (using CHROME) and initialize your device. (You have the option to restore your SEED words if you want to keep using the trezor with your current BTC (etc.) account.
- Close CHROME. Otherwise, it will not release the trezor USB device and simplewallet will not find it.
- Run simplewallet.exe --hardware-wallet n (n can be any reasonable number eg. --hardware-wallet 0)

I'd like to second this. It would be great to see the firmware upgraded with the latest "mainline" Trezor improvements.
Additionally, as your firmware seems to be mostly working fine thus far, it would be great to begin to see this work open sourced. I'd like to use Trezor to more securely store larger amounts of XMR, but I wouldn't recommend anyone do that with closed software that others haven't been able to inspect. Do you have a timeline for source code release? I believe this will only help us get this to be even better faster/sooner, as others (myself included) are sure to jump in and help improve the firmware code.
Thanks again for all your hard work so far on this!
I'd also like to point out that I believe the Trezor devs (and Satoshi Labs team) would be open to getting this into the main firmware. You can see how well the discussion for ethereum support went here: https://github.com/trezor/trezor-common/pull/11
I'd love to see the code for this on github, so it can start being reviewed and begin the discussion for consideration in the main trezor firmware.
Brillaint NoodleDoodle - thank you
OSX 10.11.3 Trezor Clone - eWallet
Followed above instructions 1- 5
Accept non std firmaware and tick (this will come up a lot until final release)
initialise it on MyTrezor.com like as normal but set a password and write down 24 word seed!
to start with a remote node, my RPi2 :-D ,
./simplewallet --daemon-address 192.168.0.X:5012 --hardware-wallet 0
Enter password as set on MyTrezor website
Enter Pin as set on MyTrezor website
with Mini wireless keyboard, I cannot work out number positions so have plugged in an old clunky "shell key" MAC Keyboard #FAIL using the postions on the number pad (not the actual numbers...)_
refresh and wait / balance
Have successfully recieved 1 xmr on it
Have successfully sent 1 xmr from it
Many thanks to NoodleDoodle for doing this. This makes using and storing XMR securely, a breeze.
V0311 now up. Please report bugs.
Great stuff! Not so much a bug right now, but I'm not sure how to extract the seed using trezorctl, in the syntax you specify a word_list argument, what do I put here? Also, not 100% sure, but it may be that v0301's simplewallet address and v0311's simplewallet address are totally different, I double checked I entered the seed I originally generated using the v0301 firmware, but when that same 24 word seed is restored onto the new firmware and loaded with the new version of simple wallet, it returns a completely new public address. I tried to use the v0301 simplewallet to confirm, but it crashes with the new firmware saying it is missing a field.
- The word_list argument is the 24 recovery seed (trezor) separated by space. e.g.
trezorctl recover_mnemonic 0 "" English 1st_word 2nd_word 3rd_word etc... - Unfortunately, the addresses changed when they were made to be monero mnemonic compatible. If there's some balance in the old wallet, you can only access them using V301/V303
Thanks for the clarification on the word list, I'd already moved all the Monero out of the old account so the address changing wasn't a problem.
Just tried V0311, on a pristine (BTC-only) Trezor. Tried flashing via the Chrome app, wallet open/close, refresh & sync, transfer and disconnect/reconnect the Trezor while in simplewallet.
Everything worked amazingly well. Thank you! (donated)
A humble suggestion: Please note in the instructions your suggestion to use the numeric keypad when entering the PIN. It's somewhat confusing for a first-timer.
NoodleDoodle, How secure is the Trezor code at this point? Is it ready to entrust with medium or large amounts of XMR?
I'd wait until the code is released on Github and merged upstream by Trezor (and thus signed).
It seems like the github repo is gone now. Has it been relocated somewhere? Also version 0925 link is dead.
See https://www.reddit.com/r/TREZOR/comments/5ezhly/monero_with_trezor/. Would not surprise me if the V0925 link is dead.
