Change name of the firmware

[ZduneX25]

You are doing the backup in the format .bin
You are opening it in XVI32


Next entering on menu: Search - Find...


In the opened window choosing Text String and writing down with capital letters platform. Still marking is important Case sensitive and searching into the bottom.


In the file they should be only 2 such entries. Standing on second and we are renaming flasha. One should think for keeping the same amount of signs in the name flasha. R373_G_0E.30.45R


R373_Alareel.45R


After the change again we are entering Find and writing the initial label of software down from a small letter, we are marking direction of searching - up and we are searching.


r373_G_0E.30.45r


r373_alareel.45r


After everything saving a file and flashing our phone.

Thanks for sharing your tutorial Bro

But I prefer to use patch for changing firmware name. It's much simple

You have to create your own patch of course. Change the value to what ever you want.
For example I rename my 49R firmware to R373_A603NK.49R
I create a patch as followed.

Code:

[Patch_Info]
SW_Ver=R373_G_0E.30.49R
Description=Rename firmware to R373_A603NK.49R
Author=are_goenk

[Patch_Code]
00984E94: 52 33 37 33 5F 41 36 30 33 4E 4B 2E 34 39 52 20

Yup, you're right

[prasasti]

Yeah, Patch is like writing new hex value to firmware (CG1).
We can use aregoenk way if we already knew the address to start.
We will need ASCII table to help us, and the values are in Hex.

Example from aregoenk patch:
Address to start:984E94
The hex value:
52 = R
33 = 3
37 = 7
33 = 3
5F = _
41 = A
36 = 6
30 = 0
33 = 3
4E = N
4B = K
2E = .
34 = 4
39 = 9
52 = R
20 = Space

Yes, if you search through the firmware you will find its name in two places, I replaced both but second seems to be the one that actually changes it.. Nevermind, changing both doesnt do anything wrong

[are_goenk]

Really?
I have just checked all CG1 from 42R, 46R, 48R, 49R, 70R, 79R and elektro modded FW. I can only find firmware name in one place 

Edit:
My fault  I forget to turn off Case Sensitive option 
You guys are right. There are two places that contain firmware name. R373..... and r373...

[NiKSY]

Just checked 48R, found firmware name on offset 877A48 and 984F54... ??

[Zh@ng-L14ng]

wow.. nice tutor..

@all
thanks for sharing..

[prasasti]

Yes, I found two. I check 42R and 49R. But one use capital letter (R) and the other one regular (r). Maybe thats why aregoenk didnt find it.
