first of all I should ask do you know about linux and shell scripting Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: itamoto on December 11, 2008, 09:08:42 pm yeahh,, i know just a little. hehe :D
Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: ilove3d on December 11, 2008, 10:14:11 pm you can use unsquashfs to extract files from the firmware
eg. CG52 CG43 is squashfs image, you can "unsquashfs" it when you finished modifying files, use mksquashfs to build new smgs and append 0xFF to the end of each to fix their size then use sbf-recalc replace your new smgs into sbf file Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: ilove3d on December 11, 2008, 10:21:41 pm note mksquashfs should use 2.2-r2
and unsquashfs should use 3.1-r2(maybe, forgotten :)) Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: itamoto on December 11, 2008, 10:43:22 pm ok,,,
thank for explanation... i will try it. Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: kolkata_don on January 09, 2009, 09:31:36 am and append 0xFF to the end of each to fix their size Tell us something more on it. I cannot understand this line. Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: kolkata_don on January 09, 2009, 09:35:03 am note mksquashfs should use 2.2-r2 and unsquashfs should use 3.1-r2(maybe, forgotten :)) Plz give us the link of mksquashfs 2.2r2 and unsquashfs 3.1r2. Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: alxbrt on February 09, 2009, 09:33:08 am Take a look here:
http://www.rasputin007.co.uk/storage/webpages/cygwin/index.htm But in this site mksquashfs is version 2.1 and unsquashfs is 1.3 Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: nacho-m on February 09, 2009, 04:28:16 pm it would be great if we could document all this. you know... how to edit the files, which files to edit and why, etc. basically an e8 knowledge base!
is there any interest in a project like this?, anyone wants to join me with the documentation? i know some linux and shell scripting but close to nothing about phone firmware modding, but maybe, with the help of our hackers, we could get somewhere :) Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: alxbrt on February 10, 2009, 06:31:18 am nacho-m,
I know linux scripting and i'm interested in modding too but don't know the first steps... In my opinion a project like this would be great, but could not be only about E8... maybe it would work better with generic guides for moto-linux modding... Maybe a wiki format would be the best format to such thing. i also could help with translation to portuguese... Not sure if our modders already have something like that....

Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: nacho-m on February 10, 2009, 10:34:49 am alxbrt,
glad you're interested! i too want to start coding but know nothing about how to start doing it... not because i can't code but because i dont know the enviroment :S ...that's why i think a project like this would do a lot for the comunity. btw, i could also help with a spanish translation. about the generic guides, it would be awesome! but we should start small and expand it as we get more help. anyone else is up for it? (documenting is one of the best ways to learn the process!) nacho Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: JEMAU MANAK on February 10, 2009, 11:14:24 am Hmmm..really interesting..maybe i should follow this for my knowledge

So mksquashfs 2.1 and unsquashfs 1.3 will not work for E8? these are the only versions that work 4 cygwin. In terms of result, what is the difference between mksquashfs 2.1 and 2.2-r2? unsquashfs 1.3 and 3.1-r2? Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: ilove3d on July 30, 2009, 08:54:02 am @ilove3d So mksquashfs 2.1 and unsquashfs 1.3 will not work for E8? these are the only versions that work 4 cygwin. In terms of result, what is the difference between mksquashfs 2.1 and 2.2-r2? unsquashfs 1.3 and 3.1-r2? detailed changelog please visit squashfs.sf.net. I just use squashfs-2.2-r2 to build and squashfs3.1-r2 to unsquashfs. as I tested it works. Title: Re: how to edit/create fw/mp Post by: mores on August 03, 2009, 12:02:51 am I found this.
