i already try that method....after i move to external sd...then i run the game.. it say need to download again a game data.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
A lot of phones will only boot if the firmware has a valid signature. Does the Samsung Wave check the firmware's signature (if there is one)?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
In case of Bootloader I can confirm Signature check.

Because bricked after changing text... :o

boot_loader.mbn ---> yes, sure :o

dbl.mbn ---> not tested, but I think yes, because Qualcomm part...

All other files have no valid/mandatory Signature check. :D

You can modify all files. :cool:

Accept MD5 Hash for Multiloader, but this you can disable.

Handset self not check.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
Can you tell us what you want to do??
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
Well, what I really want to know is if the hardware performs signature verification. For example, the bootloader in most HTC phones checks the signature of the firmware and will proceed to boot if it is valid. Replace the bootloader with your own custom bootloader and know checks are performed and you can put anything you want on it because the hardware does not check the signature of the bootloader. I also might want to modify Bada firmware, too. It is a different operating system or platform or whatever you want to call it and it looks like it would be fun to play around with. I own a Motorola DROID 2 Global.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
I'm afraid that is not clear enough. Has anyone tried to flash an alternative bootloader. And please, read my terminology. When I say bootloader, I mean software not the etched boot rom.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
In case of our Flash Tool Multiloader we have only 2 files:

boot_loader.mbn----> "Samsung part"

dbl.mbn------------> "Qualcomm part"

As we have 2 CPU inside, 1 from Qualcomm... Call Processor, the other from Samsung = Application Processor.

So in most cases dbl.mbn is complete untouched in my tests. But I've failed in:

---> changing to oldest "unprotected" Boot XXJB6 :(

---> changing to S8530 Boot (dbl.mbn is 1:1 same)

---> changing to modified S8500 Boot = bricked, but reanimated with JTAG

You can see my attempts here:

Boot means boot_loader.mbn, but I was tooo lazy to write full. :D

[Bada Software and Hacking General] Rebellos:
Oleg succeed doing it with JTAG. It is sure that it's also possible to do through FOTA, but there is almost no way to succeed at first try, so JTAG is also required there for the first tries. And... why would we do that? ;d

Also, iROM seems to perform some checksum validation, but as we can see from oleg's example - even without correct checksum it starts altered bootloader from oneNAND.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mijoma:
OK, getting to formal terminology there are several cryptographic services implemented on Wave bootloader level:

- integrity - on each loader stage

- authentication - modules loaded are verified using hardcoded (in BL3) public key

- confidentiality - some modules are encrypted using symmetric key cryptography

You may as well find some access control (implicit coming from symmetric key confidentiality and loading protocol requiring proper unlock procedure) and non-repudiation elements (storing the history of loaded components).

In more general view:

When talking about bootloader level software, it makes no sense to differentiate between hardware and software verification. It all comes to completeness of the verification chain. In most cases bootloader provides the only designated interface (with the presumption of not intruding hardware components) that is available for writing executable components into non-volatile memory used in the booting process.

Bearing that in mind, I would add to the locked bootloader definition that it does not only verify kernel, but verifies all executable components that take part in the booting process (including bootloader, of course).
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
What is [the] "iROM"?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
Please define "BL3". (A stage 3 bootloader?) Yes good point about my definitions, I will add your suggestion. Does the Wave's bootloader use RSA, El Gamal, etc.?

Edit: But, in my mind it does make sense to differentiate the hardware and software.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] nbates66:
iROM is a chip that contains code to load the very first bootloader from NAND, it cannot be modified i believe.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
Catching errors, maybe?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mijoma:
Yes, I mean stage 3 bootloader.

There are 3 hardcoded public RSA keys. All 512 bit with 2^16+1 exponent.

Please justify the differentiation and define what you understand by hardware as I'm not sure whether you are really serious about it or not.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
When I say "bootloader" think GNU GRUB and Windows' NTLDR—that is software. The reason for the differentiation is that the bootloader as defined in the PC world, the iOS hacking community, and other parts of the mobile development community is replaceable/flashable. When I refer to "hardware-based verification" I am talking about instructions physically etched on the chip that will perform some sort of signature or hash check of the lowest level of the boot chain. The "low level bootloader" or "LLB" in iOS is checked by the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch's boot ROM. The public key that is used to verify the LLB's signature is represented as physical breaks in the silicon.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mijoma:
Sorry, but if the area is not programmable it does not mean it's not software.

When thinking about 'embedded' world, leave the PC world alone. The list of differences is longer than the list of similarities.

Have a point there, but even if the verification is not done by hardware it does not mean it's replaceable (without hardware intrusion). The formal logic would require to show exploitable vulnerability first and there isn't a generic one.

LOL. Sounds like written with blood. Maybe I'm not English native and that's the reason I didn't get it, but could you elaborate (you may go deep without worries) on the method of creating 'physical breaks in the silicon' as it does not seem to be scientific term? It does, however, seem just as a description of a form of 'non-volatile memory'.

What value does the strict lowest level protection policy have when higher level introduce (with increasing probability with each level) vulnerabilities easier to exploit?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
RSA I've seen.

El Gamal never heard. :o

etc. not sure... :o :o

Maybe if you have some time and you are willing to learn with us. For instance here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13522665&postcount=50

In Firmware files are many Certs included... few of them seems to have also private parts... but encrypted... example:

EncryptedDevcerttemplateFile

EncryptedPrivKeyFile

According to other Samsung handsets... folder Security is also available on other models... few Certs should be same...

No idea if all Certs are usefull... but maybe fun to train brain. :D

[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
Please, explain.

Things like a BIOS or true read only memory have instructions or data encoded into the layout of the circuitry itself. Usually, fuses are either broken or left intact and this may either mean a 1 or a 0, depending on the manufacturers device works.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
adfree, when I say "etc." I mean "et cetera", which in Latin means "and other things" or "and so forth". El Gamal is another asymmetric cryptosystem that relies on the difficulty of factoring a large composite number, just like RSA.

And thank you for the file.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
"etc." is also used in German Language. :D

I know what it means.

But I'm not Crypto expert.

RSA 1024 I know since BREW...

RSA 2048 I know as Firmware protection from Siemens/BenQ...

EF81, SXG75 and the other 3G handsets powered by Wroclaw team... in 2006.

Here was Qualcomm stuff very good protected.

Public Key was written in OTP area. NOT eraseable via JTAG... :(

OTP = One Time Programming...

Bootloader chain... obl->pbl->qcsbl->oemsbl->AMSS

4 Bootloader in chain. :eek:

obl in OTP area, not eraseable... each Bootloader checks the next...

This was Hardwareprotection. As NAND was writeprotected from 0 to 0x4000... :( :(

Writeprotected against JTAG.

Then other Hardwareprotection against JTAG access. You must remove SMD parts.

Otherwise JTAG not work.

Samsung protection in S8500 is :D :D :D

If you have JTAG you can erase whole memory... no Hardware protections... easy Testpoints... big Testpoints for blind user like me. :D

Hardware protection in S8500 = VERY low for advanced user with JTAG.

Software protection ... is hard, but not impossible to break...

So I have some experiences with RSA (MD5, SHA1) and their uses in Certs...

For instance also bada "protection" is more an joke...

Spoofing :rolleyes: from RSA 1024 signed Apps :rolleyes:

Because to lazy to implement correct RSA check... also joke. It seems Binary is not protected...

Some users are able to modify *.exe from bada Apps. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I can't understand. Samsung has nearly 10 years experiences with Qualcomm BREW. And as US user I think you know how many BREW Hacks available... :D

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
I'm actually wondering why there aren't as many "jailbreaks" for BREW devices. I have not seen many BREW hacks at all–at least not the kind I consider to be real hacks.

As for the software protection, how can an unsigned app be run on it.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
adfree, did you ever get around to making BREW phones run unsigned apps?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
We used Testsigs for BREW... based on ESN (IMEI/MEID)...

As BREW Apps are ever full Version, only settings in MIF...

It's long time ago. But I have confirmed this by users with R810... VX9700... VX10000

For our european BREW handsets from Siemens BenQ we have also modified AMSS, where smart user removed Sig Check. :D

This was very funny, as "only" few adresses.

If I'm not wrong. Only less then 30 Bytes changed...

We used Testsig, but now no timelimit and no ESN Verifiation...

The problem to port to US devices... we have no easily access to CDMA handsets... and for instance here in Germany IMEI + SIM Card...

I think we never finished to hack Verizon or other US device. :(

For ESN Testsigs, most user scared to give ESN... :(

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
Did users have to get their apps signed by you?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mijoma:
What's to explain? Apart from HW intrusion (pretty impractical, especially for users without any tech know-how) all other methods of injecting a different bootloader are using software that is likely to have some security measures (no matter whether it's hardware or software) taken to avoid arbitrary code execution. So, to be able to replace the bootloader you need the system to have a vulnerability. Even having a vulnerability does not necessarily mean it is possible to exploit it.

For example: some internal function may perform poor input data validation possibly leading to buffer overrun allowing arbitrary code execution. That fact may be interesting although the function may as well be just exposed to internal system components and the caller may implement thorough data validation thus making use of the vulnerability impossible.

Should you not be convinced by the explanation, please describe how you find software verification not as secure as HW with a possible attack scenario (please do not forget to describe the tools required to be able to perform the attack).

Layout of the circuitry, you say... You don't have a lot to do with the electronics, do you?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:
Let me be a little clearer: the arrangement of the logic gates and how they are interconnected.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mijoma:
Either I'm loosing something or in extremely veiled way you just described a 'memory'...

As you haven't addressed the previous paragraph, may I assume the explanation is OK and you agree?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] Master Melab:

I have the regular gmail set up on the transformer with my work mail which is exchange.

Recently, I've gotten 2 notifications on the bottom right corner for 1 mail. The second notification looks all gibberish when it pops up. When clicked on it, it still takes you to the email. Which looks fine. But I don't understand where the second notifcation is coming from.

Edit:

Nevermind...I figured it out. All this time I thought I had 1 gmail, but there's the Asus email gmail also. Just disabled one of them to not notify. I actually like the asus email better because you can zoom in.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EL TEJANO:
I know it goes against everything everyone has said about using Rom Manager on our G Tabs but I've had no issues, well almost none. When I get notified of an update for a nightly or stable build and download it, it will download fine, however when it boots into recovery & tries to install the download, it cannot find it. I assume this is because the download location that Rom Manager uses is not a location that out G tabs or CWM recognize. Is there a way to force Rom Manager to download the builds to a folder that CWM will recognize? Their is no option for this in Rom Manager so I was wondering if I have to go into the system files & change anything there. If someone has some insight as to how that should be done could you please share it?

[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
It can be an absolute pain when u put your nice 320bit albums/songs onto your iconia only to find when u view them in the gorgeous 3d honeycomb player u end up with lots of mess.

Ok lets try and get this sorted out:

First of best way is to sort them out is before you drop them onto your phone/tab.

Use windows explorer, go to your album, select all the tracks at once,

right click, select properties, click the details tab, click on and only adjust;

contributing artists and artists, make them the same

album - put album name

hit apply, hit ok, now you are ready to drop them onto the iconia and the should all be in the same place when u start up hcomb player.

Other problems - if u already have a mess u might want to start from scratch.

You also might have to clear data of hcomb music player and reboot.

If you are missing (.jpg) album covers simply google the album name with cover, hold it to get the option to save to hard drive, rename it cd-cover, then move it to album folder.

Now you have all your albums and covers on them in full on 320kbps looking good and sounding great on the iconia.

If only a few of your songs are running free all over the place iTag should sort them out.

Good luck!

Anyone with other helpful tips please post...

P.S. Don't play Tubular Bells on any old tin boxes :)
