[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DorkyDev:
What are the chances of porting S4, maybe even Mega 4.2/4.3 compatible S-App's/TW App's over to this build? Making it feel more truly like an Official TW 4.3 Update... I think that would be truly awesome, releasing the closest thing to a Note 2 4.3 Update before the Official Sammy Update was released. Maybe giving Sam a run for their money and setting an Official Firmware Update by Example --- As if we could ever do that? LoL

This rom has peaked my curiosity and I definitely will be trying it soon.

can i have it in my wt19i ....?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
I returned to Moscow. And as I promissed here are tools.

I'm writing those tools for ATIV S ROM. But SMD is used for Android Samsung phones too. And MBN may be not "Samsung only" file format. (QPST uses different format)

This is sourse code on my GitHub: https://github.com/LONELY-WOLF/sam-tools

EXEs are attached to this post.

? pack ?

thanks

is it possible to PACK with this version ?

if yes ...

than we can extract an pack our samsung rom

can you also write down some examples with these files

thanks

M

:laugh:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
No. Because nobody can flash unsigned SMDs now. We need to unlock bootloader first.

Also, main purpose of this utils is to EXTRACT files. We need ROM contents to make a jailbrake.

It's strange but in WP8 ROM "FS ID" is 0. I think value "EA CC E2 21" is connected with a 4096-byte header in NTFS partitions.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] blaktron:
Hey,

So I have an interesting situation that may help in determining process with Samsung W8 phones. I have a retail demo t899 Unit, that I would LOVE to flash a signed ROM overtop, and it seems you may have tools to do so. It's a spare and I bought it to screw around with, so I'm willing to test stuff with it, would just be nice to end up with a usable device at the end.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Last tool added! You can now fully extract .wp8 file.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] AlvinPhilemon:
Hey W_O_L_F, great job! not many people like u will support wp8 but its awesome! How do I use image-rebase?

EDIT: Nevermind, used smd-tool to replace the old files and its working again! A million thanks! If I had a paypal account, I would donate $500 to you!!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] truemozzer:
wow 500$!!! nice :good:
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] lordmaxey:
If there wouldn't be the IF in this sentence :D :good: :p

@ -W_O_L_F-: Great job!! Thank you for this!!

I'm a little "sad" right now, that i don't have an Active S :D Looking forward for the Lumia stuff! :) :good:

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
It could be a reason for me to register a PayPal account :laugh:

Yes, this IF is important.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
can i unsign an wp8 rom with this?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
What do you mean?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] AlvinPhilemon:
Successfully mounted the ROMs, the 13GB Data.bin is barely filled. It is 13GB + free space provided in the actual device. Anyway, I checked every provxml and .reg files but could not find a single one to change the H+ and 3G icons. On the 920 its in OEM customizations but the ATIV doesn't have that. And also, themes are now .xamlbin files too. Not registry entries anymore.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
i made the wrong request - can you implement an unsigned repacking? Also.. are the wp8 files simply bit-to-bit images? if i where to restore it say with dd, would it work in teory? i have a bootloader-unlocked ativ s..
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
I think your bootloader just can't handle SMDs (.wp8).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
i've gone way past that - can you simply make some change so that I can repack the .wp8 scrubbing out the sign? i'll think of something else in the mean time.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Do you know, how digital signing work? It's not encryption. If your phone has unlocked boot, it doesn't read signature. So it can flash any rom.

First, you have to check if flasher recognizes your phone. I bet it won't.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
LOL.please take my word for,it; the phone get recognized, but as an engineer one, since it's got secureboot disabled. Could you please do me this favor so I can try it and if it does not,work move on? Thanks,
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
It locks when you flash it with retail firmware. You're trying to make regular ATIV S form the unique one.

You can download ROM and remove signatures with a hexeditor. Find "Ra000FF" followed by data. Fill last 2048 bytes of this data with zeroes. Do it for all Ra000FFs. You need only Ra000FFs with zeroes before.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
Ok I have another idea might work

better, can you make a converter that will,make a wp8 into a single file that one could,mount like a vhd or something like that?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
if i can get an image, i can clone it on the device. I can do direct cloning from the pc on this one.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
This SMD has no modem firmware. You'll lose GSM if you flash an image made from this SMD.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
nope, the cloning software finds excactly 28 partitions. And in any case i have a backup one, i already had to bring it back when i tried to copy the files for the mobos partition.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] spavlin:
MainOS.img opened in WinHex, where you can pull any file.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Wow! I can't belive it! Joke. Are you serious?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
Can i boast direct file system acess while we're at it?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
No, but you can dump first 250MB of your device, upload it to any free file sharing service and post a link here.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
Can you enable the repacking thing????? the smd donwloader won't accept the rom because it's md5 does not match.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
I will not write packing part until bootloader gets unlocked. And it may be never unlocked.

I forgot about this MD5. However I don't know how to calculate it. This MD5 is at offset 0x50.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
I HAVE an unlocked bootloader, for godsake. I'm asking as a favor for both me and the other guy here that has the phone with the bootloader unlocked due to people that STOLE our money by selling us something that we can't even send back in warranty. So please help me out!!!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
All I can do for you is make full device image from wp8 file.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sireangelus:
ok. if i give you the nand sectors for the gsm can you do it so that it has a "hole" for the partition? or do you need the full image?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
It's better for me to have full image. Make a factory reset. If you're lucky it will overwrite Data partition with zeroes. If so you can compress 16 GB image to ~700 MB archive. Use 7z or xz format. If file sharing service has smaller max size, split archive into parts.

Not only modem isn't present in SMD, so are nvram and some other parts.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] spavlin:
-W_O_L_F-. Update the sam-tools on GitHub, or lay out a new self-editing custom_css, and then laid out earlier version does not collect.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
mbn-tool will be released later. Now it contains only a draft packing code.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] :
can u tell me plaese how i can use the smd too...

what i should type in cmd to extract a the samsung image?

EDIT: when i try to extract it the tool tells me "access denied"
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] AlvinPhilemon:
place the files in C:\rom

run cmd and type in the command "cd C:\rom"

make sure cmd states C:\rom>

rename the .wp8 file to wp8.wp8

type in this command smd-tool /u wp8.wp8

it will automatically extract the ROM file
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] :
thanks i ve extracted it but where are the files located like PROGRAMMS etc. from the wp8 rom
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Updated!

New versions are available.

Features:

1) SMDs bigger than 2GB are now supported.

2) GDR3 support for MBN.

3) You can now specify phone model and FW version in mbn-tool command line.

4) New cmdline params style for all tools.

5) All functions are in sam-unpack-lib.dll ! You can use it to create your tools/kitchens. Don't forget to mention me in "about" ;)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] frostwildfire:
Hello dev, Im kinda new on windows phone and I ordered an I8750, i have an S4 with a ported ROM, you think porting ROMS on WP could be possible? like porting I8750 8.1 official upgrade to the T899M variant.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
So you should know about S ON, Secure Boot and locked bootloader.

Never seen a 8.1 ROM for ATIV.

By now packing SMD is useless, cause it's signed. MBN was unsigned, that's why I wrote pack function for it.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Updated sam-tools in OP because of bugfix in sam-unpack-lib.

wolf is it possible to extract official csc files ?

I tried csc file they didn't worked but mbn files created using mbn creator worked .

am I did something wrong ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Yes

1) use smd-tool

2) mount DPP.bin (you can do it with OSF Mount) and copy csc.mbn file from it

3) finally use mbn-tool
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
I mount dpp partition but not able to open it . it's a Raw Image and I can't open it don't know why
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
attach CSC here.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
here you are .

you know anyway to enable LTE in cellular settings by editing registry ?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
smd-tool /u I8750OXABME1_R_SIGNED.csc

then mount and extract csc.mbn

mbn-tool /u CSC.mbn

Everything works fine

Dunno about LTE.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Update

1) New (DOC2) SMD file format supported

2) image-rebase can do all the related stuff now! (not tested)

This means I can now make a custom ROM from WP8 file and not from full dump of my phone :D

Still I have to pack SMD manually.

OP and GitHub updated.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] G.moe:
Are you suggesting that you've been flashing custom ROMs with a locked bootloader?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Yes, but since security is on I can't do much.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] G.moe:
I think I understand now, you're only using the modifications you've made available in your kitchen, but you've found a new method of doing so, allowing you to make the modifications with a different source file. Correct?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
I can write any data to internal FLASH. Bootloaders, partitions, anything...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Added latest stable version
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] G.moe:
I see you recently posted tutorials for these tools on 4pda. Can you repost them here in English?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:

<section name="Data" file="dump_DOC2\Data.bin" offset="0x520000"/>
</template>
</smd-tool>

header.bin is a first 0x50 bytes from original ROM (up to MD5).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:

SMD packing should be fine now. But I didn't flash it yet (again). I will try it when I find my JTAG :D
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
CRITICAL BUGFIX in sam-unpack-lib!

image-rebase wasn't slicing image file right if last sector is non-zero. If you're using this tools please update. Patched version in OP and on GitHub
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
SMD packing tested and works!!! No more hex editor and manual stuff.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Insignificant:
Heya nice work :)

Could you explain a bit more how this is working?

I want to repack a SMD file. But to do this is need a template and a header file, correct? How do i get that file, without using a hex editor? Also won't the Data offset be different when the MainOS.bin has a different size?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:

Hello

So I have a problem.

Im sitting in the car, my phone is in the carmount, and I get a call. I first have to press to answer the call and than turn on the loudspeaker... Meanwhile I do this, the other person has already said something. This is always an uncomfortable situation.

So is there a possibility to answer the call directly with the loudspeaker?

I'd really appreciate !

[General Questions and Answers] Felix Ding:
Hi, I'm looking for an app so that I can take photos using a digital camera and geotag them directly on my Android phone.

Ideally, I would

Sync the time stamp on my camera and the phone

Ask the app to start to record my GPS coordinates periodically, like every 10 seconds

Take photos

Transfer the photos on to the phone

Geotag them with the app all at once (write GPS info to EXIF)

The apps I have tried so far can either do only 1 photo at a time, or ask me to tag photos with their desktop clients. This is not what I want.

There is a pretty good app called geotagr on iOS, but how about Android?

Thank you!
[Motorola Atrix HD] ConMcCRay:
Our phones are almost exactly alike, but I have no experience to do it myself. Could it be done? I've always liked LGs skin
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Probably, yes. This guide here covers most of the bases.

More than likely, LG's native system apps will FC. You just have to plug your phone into the PC and watch the logcat. When you start the app and it FC's, it'll probably be missing a lib -- figure out which one, push it and set permissions -- "adb push name_of_lib /system/lib && adb shell chmod 0644 /system/lib/name_of_lib" either reboot or push another one if you see you need to.

If its not libs, it might be something under /etc -- you'll just have to use your own judgment on that stuff, search porting guides, research the device you're porting from (/etc crap varies from rom to rom, manufacturer to manufacturer). If it looks like you need it, you probably do. Besides, if you add unnecessary crap, once you get it booting and working you can start to remove things.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Markyzz:
The LG escape has the same S4 as us. In fact, it even runs at 1.5 even though it's advertised at 1.2. Maybe that phone could help you out as well.

Flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2 ROM, then 4.2.2 Gapps. This may be a stupid question to most of you but do you flash and reboot ROM first, then flash and reboot Gapps after or flash ROM and Gapps one after the other and then reboot? For some reason the quick search bar won't open and it says "App isn't installed". I thought the Gapps included quick search bar.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] bioshacker001:
Ok, so i designed a custom CM10-based ROM for the nexus 7, increasing the customization ability with a menu (making almost every aspect of the OS customizable, which can be dangerous. Right now i only have a few simple things), as well as trying something new by rewriting the APK installer and the Dalvik VM to support J2me. I plan to try to increase the compatibility and functionality, while turning it into a full-fledged release... However, at the moment I don't have a test device so i have NO IDEA how it turned out, and idk if the JAR compatibility is functional at the moment... I'm sending an open request for developers, asking if there are 2 developers willing to help me with this project, as well as up to 20 people willing to alpha test this ROM and give me feedback. I realize that most of the additions are unnecessary, but it's a first ROM, and i wanted to start small. Reply to this thread if you're willing to help, and i'll add you to the list and PM you the files. Nothing against posting, but like i said: i have no idea how this works right now, and i'd rather not take the risk of a random newbie grabbing thee file and potentially bricking their device-Bios

Does overclocking the GPU cause damage to the device??ther's a warning of overtemperature when i overclock.Is it safe?
[General Topics] immortalneo:
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/overclock-android-device,review-1762-2.html
[General Topics] neighborhoodhacker:
To answer with something other than a link, potentially. It all depend on the settings and hardware used.
[General Topics] dr4nn0r:
Well... it depends of the phone's model. Generally there are not any advice of overheating, the phone simply frezzes or reboots itself.

All overclocking forces to work harder our hardware, so its live will be less (it sufers more wastage and higher temps). Anyway this is not so worrying, cause devices have years of live.
[General Topics] obscuresword:
Depends on the hardware so yes and no. For example, the galaxy s1 had a powervr sgx540 clocked at 200mhz. The galaxy nexus had the same GPU but clocked it a bit higher at 384mhz. These companies that manufacture CPUs and GPUs over clock them on purpose to see how high they can push their products before causing them to blow out. They then set their clock speeds far below that max so users don't have to worry about a CPU or GPU frying. Also you must realize that it depends on the cooling as well. So the cooler you keep the higher it can be safely overclocked.

In many cases a device usually would freeze up if problems came up. However, you'd know first since the device would become very hot. If your device has a GPU temp sensor (most have only one for the CPU) then you can probably get an app that tells you you're at a high temp. It is safe if you know what you're doing but overclocking anything has its risk.
