Add me to the list!!

Sign me up! I am also interested in A2DP support in the Apache (XV6700).

I can't help with coding but willing to beta test. This issue needs to be solved, there are older phones (PPC) and Palm devices supporting this.

If WiFi needs to be turned off because of RFI, so be it, that's no big deal!

Anyone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Facegarden:
Hey, I'm glad you guys are supporting this. :)

Here's what I know, and what you can do to help:

The files we need to decode are .nbf files, extracted from the .exe file for sprint's update. Just throw the sprint installer (found here: http://www4.sprint.com/pcsbusiness/downloads/APAC_SPCS_20600_300_11200_ship.exe ) into WinRAR, and it will extract it (yes, some .exe files can be extracted... I didn't know that at first...)

Anyway, once it's extracted, you should have one folder, with two folders inside. The interesting one for now is the "output" folder, which contains some encrypted ROM images, including nk.nbf, the encrypted main ROM. This is where apache owners seem to be stuck. Scripts and programs have been written for the other devices' ROMs to decode them into a workable file (an .nba file). We need to figure out how those decryption keys were determined, so we can do that with our files.

Furthermore, someone needs to help us make a program to actually do the decryption if existing tools don't work, because as much as I can use existing software, I can't code this kind of stuff for crap (i can do microcontrollers though! :))

Anyway, there are some perl scripts that seem interesting, but from what I can tell, they don't work with Apache ROMs...

So, here are some more links to help:

More info on TyphoonNbfTool, the perl script (though it has been compiled in various flavors into .exe files by some nice people), can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=43689

I looked a bit for the different .exe versions of TyphoonNbfTool mentioned in that thread, but only came up with v05 attached to one of the posts... Maybe the Apache has a header like the others? v05 didn't seem to work.. maybe the others? I haven't had a chance to look hard enough for those .exe files yet (i've been really sick the past few days :(), but maybe they'l work?

Also, in the perl script itself, there is some mention of an apache key or something, so if anyone know's what that's about, it's here:

http://nah6.com/~itsme/cvs-xdadevtools/xda2nbftool/typhoonnbfdecode.pl

Note that all that "Typhoon" stuff is supposed to be for just an HTC device called the Typhoon, but it seems like people have used it for other devices successfully...

Some other links:

A Universal ROM decoder (works great on Universal ROMs, but not on ours) http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=1

Once a ROM is decoded, these tools are used:

And the "A2DP for all devices" thread on here:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=43992&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=a2dp&start=0

So yeah... Poke around, see what you can find...

If anyone knows or uncovers how these keys were discovered, help us out! Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itsme:
you can use alpinenbfdecode.pl to decode apache roms.

willem
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itsme:
btw, the apache keys are already known, see typhoonnbfdecode.pl.

you can find them by looking for des encryption code in the radio rom.

in v1.03.00 they are the 0x18 bytes right before the key-permutation table in the rom.

.... you find the des tables by looking for instance for the bytes '38 30 28 20 18 10'

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Facegarden:
Hey, sweet! Yeah, i thought i saw those keys in typhoonnbfdecode.pl, but I wasn't sure what to make of them, since i couldn't get the typhoonnbfdecode.exe to work on them... Anyway, I'll have to do some searching to figure out how to use those perl scripts, but if you have any advice I'm all ears. For now, I'm off to class. Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] atomclock:
I managed to decode the Apache rom...

I started with the file

APAC_SPCS_20600_300_11200_ship.exe

I ran the file while the phone was NOT connected to the computer. I then went to the windows temp directory and pulled out nk.nbf and moved it to my linux machine (I hate perl... but I can at least get it to work under Linux)

I then used alpinenbfdecode.pl to decode the nk.nbf file to nk.nba

perl alpinenbfdecode.pl -d nk.nbf nk.nba

I then moved the nk.nba file back to my windows box and used the imgfs_tools

prepare_imgfs.exe nk.nba -nosplit

viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin

This dumps the decoded files to their own directories.

I confirmed that the decode was successufl by pulling the solitare.exe from the dump and moved it to my 6700 and it ran thereby confirming a successful decode.

Unfortunately, I don't know what I need to do next to incorporate A2DP.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] halik:
bump

currently there are no tools to encrypt the nba files back to nbf - so far noone has managed to write something that computes the right checksum for the compressed images.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Facegarden:
Yeah... What has to be done to get that to work? Can we use crc32 to compute the checksum and manually change it? I tried, but I can't find the location of the checksum in the file, which I would assume is other people's problem as well... But shouldn't we be able to take an unmodified file, and then calculate it's checksum with crc32, then find that value in a hex editor? I also tried that, but it doesn't work... Is the checksum encoded as well in the encoded files?

I'd really love to figure this out now, because the sprint people have been able to copy some a2dp files directly and, along with a registry edit, get a2dp working. It doesn't work on verizon phones though... something about sprint's update that verizon never got... I want to take their update and change the device info to match ours, but I can't get the checksum right!

Also, what happens if I succeed, and in the process copy a sprint radio rom to my phone? Do I then have a sprint phone instead? :(

-Taylor
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itsme:
the problem is not where it is stored in the file, i know that.

but when you change the file, you have to recalculate it, and produce the correct value, there i am missing something.

just have not take the time to look at it.

willem
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Facegarden:
hmm... so crc32 doesn't work then? well let us know if you figure it out!

all rooting does is give you superuser access, it doesnt give you any special powers. and no matter what you use to tether, the data still comes from your provider. your provider knows your device, and lets it access their network. when you access their network, they know everything that you are doing on it.

yes because it lets you go past your cap :D

I will suggest you to use ODIN to flash SC06DOMBMF1 (one version back).

You won't lose data nor internal sdcard. (But don't blame me if it does.)

With BMF1, you can use ODIN 3.0x to flash CWM 6.x.x.x and then use CWM to flash the cf auto root v3 zip.

You will gain root access immediately.

Moreover, you can try to use Voodoo OTAｒｏｏｔ　ｋｅｅｐｅｒ to hide your root and then OTA update to desired version (MJ5 or MK2).

Use it to restore root finally.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] june726:
Hi guys, so I was going to give my old KF to my nephew as a gift. It was rooted, with TWRP and had CM10. So i tried to restore it to its original state (unrooted with the stock KF ROM). After I flashed it back to the original OS, I wiped the cache, the dalvik and the system using TWRP and accidentally deleted my OS. Now, when i boot it, it remains at the KF logo (white and orange so it means it has the stock bootloader). I also cant access TWRP ( i guess i've deleted FFF as well ). i would be so greatful if anyone could help me. i'm also a noob so if you could please tell me step by step on how to fix my KF.

also

-im not from the US so I dont have the factory cable

-when i try to use the KFU, it says ADB Status: Online ; Boot Status: Unknown

-when i try to install TWRP or FFF via KFU, it stops at "waiting for device"

Thank you! :)

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randallskii:
Okay..I didnt get JOdin running correctly (still getting corrupted pit file message), but I got my device rooted via heimdall frontend (thanks to zibrah3ed).

If other linux users are having trouble rooting their devices - you can try this:

1.) download T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar.zip and android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip from here

2.) copy android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip to internal or external sdcard of device

3.) decompress T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar.zip (should give you recovery.tar.md5)

4.) rename recovery.tar.md5 to recovery.tar.gz

5.) decompress recovery.tar.gz (now you should have a file named recovery.img)

6.) put device into download mode with "home+vol down+power" and connect it

7.) verify device is detected via terminal:

# heimdall detect

8.) download pit file from your device via terminal:

# heimdall download-pit --output smt210.pit

(file is saved at the current folder you are situated in the terminal)

9.) let device auto-reboot, then reenter download mode

10.) start heimdall-frontend (I did it with gksudo heimdall-frontend) and click "Detect" (@Utilities tab of Heimdall)

11.) click on Flash tab of Heimdall

12.) browse for the downloaded pit file (@Options PIT)

Make sure "Repartition" is NOT checked/selected

13.) click on "Add" (@Partitions (Files))

14.) change Partition Name to RECOVERY (@Partition Details)

15.) browse for the decompressed recovery.img (@File (recovery.img))

16.) uncheck "No Reboot" & "Resume"

17.) hit start

18.) the device will automatically reboot when finished...

19.) turn off the device and press "home+vol up+power", when the Samsung logo shows up release power button but keep pressing "vol up+home" until you enter CWM Recovery mode (takes little while)

20.) install zip android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip (the navigation is a littlebit weird, but well explained here)

21.) reboot device

After the reboot my PlayStore was broken (displaying "no connection" although I was able to surf on websites in the browser)

Doing a factory reset in CWM Recovery mode helped and I was able to install Superuser.

Would be cool if I get JOdin running because its easier to handle.. but I have no idea how.

Anyways I think this problem is more releated to JOdin thread so mods feel free to close this one.

hi everyone.. I recently upgraded my phone to the LG G2, and in doing so I have kept my Droid DNA for the purpose of getting into rooting, and customizing. I have always been fascinated with smart phones , and operating systems, and would like to get to know how to dig into them. I know stock systems very well, and optimize every phone I get up to the stock allowance. Now I want to lift my limitations, and this is the perfect phone to do it with. so if yu could please kindly give me some advice on where to start,. I have been lurking these forums for quite some time, and I find it overwhelming, since I don't know a good starting point.

[HTC Droid DNA] sdamark:
I suppose unlocking and S-off should be your starting point, if I understand the question correctly.

If your DNA is on the latest firmware 3.x.x then Rumrunner will get this done for you.

Then install a custom Recovery, ClockWorkMod (CWM) or TeamWinRecoveryProject (TWRP).

Back up your OE Rom by making Nandroid (done in recovery).

After that you can flash whatever ROM you choose.

I have 2 DNAs, on one I have ViperDNA 2.5.0 and on the other CyanogenMod 11.0 nightly.

That's not entirely true. You have to disable driver signature enforcement in Windows 8.x then install the ADB driver. Microsoft doesn't want anyone unknowingly installing drivers by accident. They make it so that you know what you are doing and doing it on purpose.
