Key To Unlocking Bootloader Found! - Defy General

This is excellent news!
Read here: Sholes Keyleak Explained
and here: Twitter Feed
It won't be long now!

Great news I hope Cyanogen is ported soon. And hello to Gingerbread.

Very nice!!!!!!:d

It's a shame Eugene_373's Defy bit the dust.
We could really use a Dev of his skills now.

How can I get the variable s and data?
k = s - sha1sum(data)
P.S.: His explanation: the vulnerability is that p is 0, which makes r=1, which makes s = sha1sum(data) - k

Did you get the keys posted on Twitter?

that is for milestone, we need the values from Defy to found the Key.

Have you tried?
There's no mention that the key is different for all phones using the Sholes platform...

No, I didn't try yet. I'm just waiting... . Let the things happen.

I'll be testing it when I get home.
I hope I don't brick my device in the process...

Great news. Hope other devs jump into this right away. Will be looking forward.

Maybe is easier to post the keys here:

Hi, but what does it meen?
What can we do now?
And how?
Can we crack the bootloader?
Custom ROms?Kernel?Cyanogenmod 7 for defy??

Sweet maybe in the future there'll be a cool rom for my Droid 2 global
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App

But what we have to do now?
What can we do with this information an keys?

So we gettin custom kernels soon?
Sent from my thumbs

Your recovery must update the signatures on the Codegroup Descriptor Table (CDT). If it does not, your recovery will brick the phone if you attempt to flash a custom ROM.

I understand nothing ))
Who can do this?
Where are the defy gurus!!!!

I can't belive it! It must to be an april fool! *_*

totally awesome *.*
can't wait to see the first custom kernels

Question for anyone who understands Decoding ROMs and HEX Editing

I do know to increase the Universal pagepool to look for: 64 B0 00 00 64 00 00 00 2E 2E 2E 2E 00 00 2E 00
I did also observed that the 12th set 2E (4th 2E) is always 90 in ALL ROMs I tried. Could this 90 be the value of MB for the Extended ROM? If yes, then theoretically if we decrease it to 00, we can use the space as added memory.
Can anyone confirm what that value 90 is?
You may have more luck in the upgrading tweaking section in the general forum... seems to get very technical there...

mission impossible - editing nk.exe

can someone assist me in changing the nk.exe in a way that allows me to change the deviceid from PU10 to HERM100
i succeded in hexediting the hk.nba from PU10 to HERM with the confirmation that Getdevice data recognize it as HERM
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=GetDeviceData
there are 2 places in the nk.nba where the device type is found
00007074h: 48 00 45 00 52 00 4D ; H.E.R.M
00316c74h: 48 00 45 00 52 00 4D ; H.E.R.M

after dumping the rom including the boot XIP i found that the nk.exe contains this data.
the reason to do it is to "help" bbconnect to recognize it as a hermes
anyone can assist me ?

[FIXED!] - BuildOS producing Windows error on opening

I'm really sorry to be starting a new thread, but I've been racking my brains over this problem and haven't got anywhere yet. I know it's not the application so it must be something I've done, just not sure what!
Until today I have been able to use the BuildOS.exe in both Pandora and Core's kitchens without problem. Haven't tried using it for a few weeks, but with the new OS build today tried Pandora. Unfortunately, when I try to open BuildOS, it reports it has encountered a problem and needs to close. It offers the choice of reporting to Microsoft or not (reporting produces no suggested fixes).
Have uninstalled .NET Framework 3, 2, 1.1 and 1 and then re-installed them from Microsoft Update but at each stage the error message has been the same. I've also tried Googling for problems with BuildOS, but each just suggests installing .NET Framework 2. Searching for the error message codes didn't producing anything either.
I'm attaching the first screen of the error message but cannot work out how to copy and paste the actual error (it's unselectable).
If anyone has any ideas at all, I'd really appreciate them as I'm out. Thanks for reading this post and please don't flame unless they're REALLY funny!
The attachment doesnt really give much information..
Try print-screening the error and paste it into paint then cut out just the error and post it.. though im guessing it just says something lke unhandled exception or something like that..
You can also try looking around the system error logs in Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Event Log where you might find some details of the error.
have you installed or uninstalled anything in those few weeks?
the only thing I get from that log file is the mscorelib - .NET Framework...
Maybe try MS .NET Compact FW? I have 1.0 SP3 and 2.0 SP1...
Step by step
Lets try to isolate the problem:
Step 1: Try to use an older version of pandora, if its working something is wrong with your download of the latest version.
Step 2: You said that you haven't use the kitchen for some weeks. What have you installed and/or deinstalled since the last use of the kitchen? Maybe another program on your desktop computer is in conflict with .net or the kitchen.
Problem located, just got to fix it now!
Thanks for the suggestions guys, should've thought of the event viewer myself! D'oh!
The report viewer shows the problem is in my .NET 2 installation, so at least I know where to concentrate now.
Time for the big stick with the nail in it, I think!
Thanks again Sam and matt. I know you're both very busy and really do appreciate you taking the time to help.
EDIT: Sorry Gerald, your post showed up while I was typing. Thank you very much for the suggestion and bringing me back to sanity! Will try an older version first, just in case, and then going to play around with my .NET installations.

Uhh, in my world .NET CF runs on a device.
The problem continues...
Bugger - tried a shortcut and it didn't work! Copied the Pandora setup files and installed them on my laptop, only for that to come up with the same error message!
The laptop has very little installed on it and has only been up and running from a fresh install for two weeks. I've got basic drivers, AVG Anti-virus, Spybot and MS Office 2003 installed and that's about it. It's also completely up to date on MS Updates (I'm anal like that) so has .NETs up to 3.0 installed.
I also tried downloading Core's kitchen onto the laptop but again the BuildOS in that reports the same error.
The error shows under Event Viewer > Application as:
Event Type: Error

I know this now definitely isn't a WM6 problem but I'm adding this info in case one of the great XDA Dev minds knows the solution, and in case another user like me experiences the same problem - you're not alone and I'll update the thread when I find the solution!
Here's a stab at it (albeit a simple one). When using Pandora, do you have everything in the proper folder structure? The following applies:
(in this example, everything is thrown into a main folder "Pandora")
- Pandora (parent folder)
- BuildOS.exe (file)
- CreateROM.bat (file)
- pkgcommon.dll (file)
- OEM (sub folder)
- ROM (sub folder)
- SYS (sub folder)
- TOOLS (sub folder)
If you don't follow this hierarchy, Windows will shoot an error out at you.
Good luck!
Thanks Taurus, good suggestion. I've also got an inconsequential Readme.txt file in there too, but other than that - all present and correct!
Again, thanks for all your suggestions guys and once I find the solution I'll be sure to post it up.
You run buildOS from the command line, make sure you cd to the folder containing OEM/SYS/ROM and TOOLS .... THEN run buildOS from wherever it is by typing the full path into cmd, or even better add buildOS to the PATH variable .
so you need to follow this kind of procedure:
Code:
cd c:\ROMFOLDER (ENTER)
then...
c:\ROMTOOLSFOLDER\BuildOS (ENTER)
remember ROMFOLDER and ROMTOOLSFOLDER should be replaced by the paths you use.....its a PITA but thats how it runs.

No problem. I just wanted to clarify what I meant, as I don't know if I was that clear.
I've attached a shot of everything the way it should look. Anyhow, it sounds like you have it right already, but I thought I'd just float that your way.

It gets installed with VS Team Suite 2k5, probably since it has the CE mobile device emulators included.
Confused Stu - if you're still having trouble with .NET, let me know. I supported this stuff for M$, and know a few tricks to getting it cleaned up and installed.
Only common factor - interface between keyboard and chair!
OK, I've spent this evening wiping and rebuilding my laptop. It's got XP SP2 on it, then added the laptop drivers, the Kitchen and ran all the Microsoft Updates until only the .NETs were left.
Tried running BuildOS with no .NETs installed, and it came up with a message telling me the application wasn't in the correct state and re-installing it might help.
Installed .NET 1 (same message on trying to open BuildOS), then installed the updates for .NET 1 - same message. Installed .NET 2 and immediately got the original error I was getting on my home PC and other laptop! Went on to install the updates for .NET 2 and finally .NET 3 - but the same error kept coming up.
I've now got this same error coming up my Home PC (self-built), my Dell laptop, and my newly rebuilt Medion one! I've got no common files besides the MS Updates and no common components. Beginning to think maybe it's just plain personal!
Matt - if you can help at all with my .NET problems, I'd be ridiculously grateful. Alternatively, if anyone can suggest another avenue I can try please post it up - I'm almost out of ideas!
I've got another fresh install going on at work (Dell desktop this time) so tomorrow I'm going to try installing only .NET 1 and .NET 2 - not even any other MS Updates. Then if i install the updates one at a time I might be able to work out the problem one. Still not sure why I'm the only person affected by this though?
First of all, you are not alone, have a look at:
http://www.google.at/search?hl=de&q...time+2.0+Error+Reporting+Event+ID:+5000&meta=
Now for the bad news: I checked the first ten posts or so, they recommend to debug the code. But as its running on other machines without any problems it must be something within your .net installion.
man, this is strange.
I had a similar problem with BuildOS but with me it happened anytime I tried to add a package to the OEM folder.
Have you made any changes to anything from the Kitchen?
Matt said that you can't just add a package because its signed ( or something).
FIXED!!!!
Allan1 - you're a star!!!!
I've just deleted out the OEM (and SYS) folders, unzipped the v6 kitchen again and it's worked perfectly! Looks like my problem was I was unzipping the v6.1 (beta) OEM over the top of the existing OEM and that was causing my problems.
Don't I feel like a complete doughnut!
Sorry for wasting everyone's time, and THANK YOU very, very, very much for everyone's help and suggestions on this. It's really touching that so many people were willing to try to help me out.
Now commence the "what an idiot" flaming if anyone wants to - it's justified!
No probs!!

Enter S8600 store with your Wave 1 or 2...

Any idea how Kies identify model? It seems not via AT Commands...
Or I am dumb...
AT+DEVCONINFO
I have used portmon to sniff communication...
Maybe it is the name, what Explorer shows?...
So the mass thingie USB driver...
How for instance S8600 answers in Explorer?
Best Regards
May be it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11286021&postcount=78
amss.bin I have checked... maybe not.
I have tried MANY combinations... maybe I have something not seen.
Maybe much easier.
Little example how bada Version is checked... Attention, high protection...
extreme hardcoded to prevent change...
2 parts needed...
Part 1:
SystemFS\User\OspSys\registry\buildnumber.ini
Part 2:
SystemFS/User/OspSys/registry/systeminfo.ini
Compare with latest Firmware and you know how to prepare your bada 1.x device for bada 3.0 Apps.
Anyway, I'm blind to manage Kies to work as S8600...
Best Regards
Okay, I've found Original Screenshot of S8600...
But I know where this Text String is stored...
But I can remember, I've tried this... and was not enough...
Maybe I'll try again.
Best Regards
It can be usb device description string in USB driver on phone or PC side (if it's PC side, description is paired with certain PID and VID), try to connect phone to linux in kies mode and use lsusb -a (aint sure if it's -a, anyway the thing is to get verbose info about device)
Hi, I think stune reads the same data that the kies when connected to the terminal.
I mean:
STUNE when you start telling us the firmware version terminal model of our product code, even our imei
Not fully correct
There is something in the PC driver that needs to be changed
You can see this in the driver details
Best Regards
Maybe Kies via Wi-Fi easier...
Not tested yet.
Best Regards
Bus reported device description is sent from device during USB enumeration. So model id is stored in Bada USB module. I'm nearly sure it's unicode string.
Maybe my fault...
AT+PROF="Device
Leads to file device.xml...
Will compare Wave 1, 2, 3 device.xml ...
Best Regards
Edit 1...
Code:
<ModelName value="GT-S8500"/>
<BaseModelName value="GT-S8500"/>
<ProjectName value="Lismore"/>
<FriendlyName value="Lismore"/>
<ProductLineup value="HHP"/>
Code:
<ModelName value="Wave 3"/>
<BaseModelName value="GT-S7250"/>
<ProjectName value="Wave3"/>
<FriendlyName value="Wave3"/>
<ProductLineup value="HHP"/>
Kies now shows other Error
Please, maybe someone can post from S8600 under Explorer...
Remember to remove IMEI...
I think this is MTP device... USB blabla portable Device Driver under Device Manager in Windows...
PS...
Text Samsung... in white Background is editable...
Edit 1.
Hmmm... Wave 2 can't edit ... grey colored...
Screenshot from S8600 would be nice.
Thanx in advance.
why do you think AT+DEVCONINFO is wrong? whole infos including imei in one packet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20497198&postcount=15
Because I've found all files and positions to make 1:1 clone... including IMEI...
But this is not working for Kies.
Kies shows Error, that unsupported device is attached.
Best Regards
error it is kind of progress
what about these ones

I've somewhere correct sequence to start obex on wave. I will post later
Good afternoon if it will not for anything in this case but I found this on apps_compressed:
x40BF86FF 'kDHd:! eNULL: @ STRENGTH'
0x40BF8765 'eNULL:! ANULL: @ STRENGTH'
0x40BF8784:'/../ cx / source / Xsupplicant / src / auth_methods / eapfast / eapfast.c '

Umm, sorry, it's not helping anything in that case. FYI there are literally tenths of thousands such char strings in apps_compressed. Good you're looking tho. ;P
Maybe my goal is not clear enough...
Most of us have NO S8600...
But S8600 has few nice NEW Apps.
You can download without attached handset EVERY App you can find via Kies.
BUT not install if attached handset is not valid...
My goal is to make S8500 valid to install S8600 Apps via Kies.
Solution 1 is wait...
Maybe Samsung will offer these Apps like Tintin before Christmas 2012...
Really realistic...
I think minimum 2-3 months not available for S8500/S8530 to be exclusive for S8600...
Solution...
Move your bu ehm brain.
This mission is NOT impossible.
Best Regards
Sorry for them to lose the time, now I will focus more on the subject.
ferrloz thanks.

Xperia open bootloader: What is this TA / bootloader update protocol?

While looking for a way on linux to update my bootloader to use a real recovery partition, I found this little gem:

Here is aditional trick to install openbootloader without needs for emma:
Code:
//===========================================================
// Rhine S1 Boot Config Data

// Config Data Description: http://metadoc.sonyericsson.net/?DOCS=1/15935-5/FCP1191274 PA2

// [UnitID<HEX32> UnitSize<HEX16> Data<HEX8>{UnitSize}]{n}
//===========================================================

// this enables recovery mode (aka installs openbootloader)

I would like to understand more about this protocol. Was it created by Qualcomm? Sony/Ericsson?
What tools use this protocol? I understand that Androxyde's FlashTool is supposed to do the right thing when it finds this in a .ta file packed within an .ftf file, but FlashTool is huge, and I don't like the idea of reading all of its source code just to find the parts that relate to this protocol.
The Config Data Description URL above is broken; metadoc.sonyericsson.net no longer exists. Is the referenced document still available somewhere? Is there any other documentation?
I just tried my luck googling Markus Strandh at Ericsson and found this profile at LinkedIn. Job desription says
Senior Sw Architect at Sony Mobile Communications

. So he might as well be the author of the document. And if he is he might know where to find that file you're looking for.
In case you don't have a LinkedIn account let me know
Thanks. I don't do LinkedIn, but I might try to find his contact info once I know a little more.
I'm hoping someone here (@munjeni? @Androxyde?) can chime in with which programs are known to apply these files.
I found munjeni's newflasher today. The source code is far easier to understand than Flashtool, and although it doesn't answer all my questions, it does help reveal how these bootloader config files are supposed to be applied to a device. Nice.
