Moto Hell - The Motorola Modding Community

All questions on porting the ElfPack - HERE!

For succesfull portation you need:
1. ADS ;for compilation. - download (http://ifolder.ru/3937671)
2. PortKit_v1_0 + updates ;for portation - download (http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1262718_7rvuc/PortKit_v1_0.rar)
3. Bin Editor ;for cutting the empty bytes [You can use XVI32 (http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm#download) - its free]
4. R?flash ; the CG1 of the firmware youre using (withouth the empty bytes on the end)
5. FB v3.06 ; for applying the patches
6. resman5.4pro ;not neccesary
7. Clean head and steady hands  ,\'-}

So here we go.... :)


.1 Make folder "PortKit" on disk "C:\" ;you can make it anywhere but this is the easiest way


.2 Extract files from archives ADS and PortKit_v1_0 into folder "C:\PortKit"


Before you start PortKit you should replace the libgen with a newer one, I recommend Macho's libgen :) (http://wap-tolik.narod.ru/libgen_by_macho.zip)(its updated regularly)
You should copy the libgen content into C:\PortKit\libgen folder :)


.2.1 Folder "arm" copy to root "C:\" ;thats the way it must be!


.2.1 Now! Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environment Variables/System Variables/ - Path - add ";C:\PortKit" (I say again, C:\PortKit is the easiest place)


.3 Further settings:
C:\PortKit\obj\sysinfo.c ; open with NotePad and set for your phone, example for E398:


.4 Next:
C:\PortKit\make.cmd ; open with NotePad and look:
=> instead of NONE enter platform of your phone:



.5 Now we need that reflash, actually the CG1.smg in folder "C:\PortKit" (extract it from reflash with SHX Codec)


.6 Rename CG1.smg to CG1.bin (or put the whole name of the firmware, important is to change the format to .BIN) ;


.7 Next, we make a new text document and put in it:


.8 Save it in PortKit folder and name it run.bat (not run.bat.txt but run.bat)


.9 Double click run.bat ; If you did everything correctly you will get patches, elfloader, and Lib.o in build folder!

Hope you liked the tutorial, its mostly,but not completely, a translation of WhiteHotIce's tutorial from motofan ;)


Cheers!

cool :D

really helpful :D thx

Add me some karmaaaaa...It took me an hour to translate it into Serbian and english :P
Glad you like it :D

yeah...i'll add you ++ N!kola.
although i've already know how to do it :P

why took you an hour to translate?
don't you get google translate? :D

Because google translation is always crappy and sometimes even lacks the meaning of the text translated... So I did it manually.. Slowly increasing my Russian language knowledge :)

Thanks rotten gayoe lol :)

Thank´s man... ++karma.

I have get that tutor from gayoe's esnips. :D

NiKSY
thank you  ;)

I'm late on this.. Thanks for the guide Niksy ;)

@[54mmd13],

@ Jithin and NiKSY
Thank you for information
I wonder as I increase your karma?
+ + For you

Press the praise button (:
Thanks!

I tried this and got an error, does anyone know what I did wrong?
I took the CG1.smg off my phone both with and without empty bites and renamed it .bin and put it in the portkit folder, why is it saying not found?

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/silentsnow31802/error.jpg

From the picture I assume that you didnt set up all the folders and files...
Have you followed the tutorial through all steps? Check through them again (no affense afcourse)

*EDIT* I unstickied it... Has been there for enough time :)

Thats what I thought but I believe I setup everything correctly. I will double check tomorrow as its 3:30AM right now and I must sleep.

*EDIT*
Well I flashed a MP with the Elf already installed, played with it for a while and didnt like it. Flashed back to the one I had before and the Elf is still working. I have not enabled Motomixer or anything else Elf related in this MP. I dont understand why its still working but the only ones I wanted are working so im going to just go with it.

lol Probably both are ELF enabled. Nevermind, enjoy :)
Cheers! ;)

i have to ask a dumb question. is that ";" meant to be in front of the path location? and doesn't it matter what the variable name is?
i followed the tutorial thoroughly but no files generated

.2.1 Now! Control Panel/System/Environment Variables/System Variables/ - Path - add ";C:\PortKit" (I say again, C:\PortKit is the easiest place)Would I have question?   Should be anything in changing value or only  ;C:\PortKit
I do the tutorial but i have some problem.It is stopped and i have to push a button to run away.But when it do his the windows give me an error.The port kit run and do te 4 files.

PortKit (http://www.divshare.com/download/5272665-835)

could you please let us know if you have any luck to make your own build? a couple of us couldn't get it to work.

i can successfully make build... theres another tutorial b4 this one :D

http://rapidshare.com/files/141242318/PortKit_1.0_fullset.rar.html

which kit did you use? this one or the one before this one?
what libgen did you use?
i don't know what i did wrong. it's frustrating.

try use the one i gave you...

the libgen can get it from first page..

i dun remember who made the kit but i've taken it from here

yea, i've tried the one you gave me. same thing happened. it didn't proceed after i press any key to continue. it just stuck.
that kit is made by gayoe i think

I get this error when I porting, the problem is RAMTrans.exe, and the log...

I've use another RAMTrans but still error when executing it..

i've got the same problem, someone help us :-[

I've follow all the instruction but I can't make build correctly,
I use CG1 (with cut empty bytes and undo elfpack/register of course) from MotoHell MP.
it generated build, but there is a warning (log in attach)
And when I flash to CG1 it show "Read beyond end of file." (picture)

here are my files in my computer:

I've make a path too, "C:\PortKit"

Do I miss something..? Or Do I wrong put some files?

That warning you got is NORMAL. I get it too, everytime,  and my ELF Pack works...

As for "Read Beyond End Of File" - use the autopatcher attached first and than use that CG1 with Flash&Backup.

i'm still having problem with RAMTrans.exe
cg1 is from the lifeII and libgen is 4.0  but i got this problem in every cg1 and libgen

@lvl18

Use this portkit, I got it from Ax_ter.

Thanks Nick, I'll try... :)

no, still the same problem, maybe something is wrong with my Xp

oh Nik, I've use ur autopatcher but it still "read beyond end of file". :(

Cant be... :( I used it and it worked...

What have you done? Have you patched the CG1.smg(/.bin) file with it? Must work :S

I've tried =
- backup CG1 (cut empty and elfpack patch inside) then patched with autopatcher then made build from it then patched with it build.
- backup CG1 (cut empty and with undo elfpack) then patched with autopatcher then made build then patched with it.

"read beyond end of file".
thats because no more place to apply the patch, CG1 addres range(0 - C7FFFF)

did u cut it with FB3 ? MHell MP will end at C7FE1B(because of F2BT patch) and it's not enough place.
All u need is Hex editor(ex:XVI32) to find empty place inside the CG1 and Cut it from there.

try this address BB07D0 or C402C0.

I've already Undo F2BT patch.., and little modification of MoHell. But I use original CG1 from MoHell it still same.
How to use HexEditor to cut? just delete the address..?

yes.
use XVI32 to open your CG1, go to address (now u can see FF FF........ that is empty place) and Delete from Cursor, Save.


try this address BB07D0 , C402C0 (if u see FF FF FF..... u can cut from there).

Man man man man MAN! CG1 without ELFpack and with cut empty bytes - use with PortKit!
Copy it, DONT USE THE SAME ONE. Than use autopatcher on it and you can patch ELFpack on to it.

So..
One CG1 for use with PortKit - cut empty bytes, no ElfPack, autopatcher not used
Second CG1 for use with FLash&Backup - use the autopatcher on it and than use it

Fhuh...., :)
Now I can make my own build...
Thanks to mr.e1 and NiKSI, ++ for you... :)

tanks , i need this

Fixed a couple of glitchesh in the guide ^^ So its 1.1 now weee :D

can i do it on 7xr?

Yess you can :) It will work on any R373 :) Maybe on r372, nobody tried :S

Hello, I'm new around here, I'm looking for some help for porting ELFPack... I tried with this program, with GUI porkit, but no results. I'm using a CG1 with CUT empty bytes, I always get some not found, and asks me to continue or not... So I don't understand. Is this only for E398? I'm using R44419 firmware for V360. Thanks.

It SHOULD actually be working on any phone. Maybe V3, maybe R372, no1 tried...

Whats not found? Functions or...?

ok, sorry for my bad description, I will show you some screencaps:

everything goes ok... till this screen appears:
(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/2054/pantalla1lj4.th.jpg) (http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantalla1lj4.jpg)

then I write y, and continue... when this appears:
(http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/3900/pantalla2tz4.th.jpg) (http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantalla2tz4.jpg)

el sistema no puede hallar el archivo especificado means system can't find specified file

then I check my files in build folder, but I got only elfloader.lib and register.fpa... and register fpa got this in patch code: óíêöèÿ R: 00000000... So do you know what am I doing wrong?

PD: My phone is V360 and firm is R44419_G_08.D4.0FR, so I wrote:


and this is my make.cmd:

my CG1 is inside C:\Portkit... everything seems to be according to your gude, but I don't know :S

is this work if i not BUILD FW ELF?i still confused why i must be BUILD FW ELF....sorry for bad question.

@braian-k
use this make.cmd,
at the end of the prosses u will see 0 information, 1 warning, 0 error messages,
and it's ok.

great... ;D

build the clean CG1, better not used CG1 from other MP that already patched

I think thats fine, just continue with pressing "Y" and "Enter"
For that function (FlashDevEraseBlock, SKIN_FOLDER, and EV_BacklightContinueOn) you can add manually using Library Editor.

i'm bacl again to elf mode he2.
i not found rainbow pog platform in portkit can anyone add plugins to rainbow POG.cz POG p2k too.thanks

just two simple question
1.do we have copy all files from libgen macho to the portkit? i want to make run from a and c
2. which one is corect when build elf.. patch all the patches and then cut the empty bytes or make elf first and the do the patching?

1. I always copy functions.pat, LTE, LTE2, LTE2_IROM, Libgen and RAMTrans... And my ELFs run from B/, so don't know.

2. If you cut empty bytes and then try to patch, Flash&Backup's gonna say that adress exceeds end of CG1... If that was your question?

for no 2
i mean make elf first and then patching those available patches or do the patching stuff then we make the elf?

another question
is it elf available for 48R? do we must edit the make.cmd?

I need tutorial how create porkit in a and c please
