[Q] Making a Full FW from a NON-Full FW - Bada Software and Hacking General

A new day and a new headache made by me
Today's question is : is it possible to make a full fw from upgrade fw???
two days ago i ripped a non-full firmware from kies now i want to make it full
but i wanted to get confirmation from XDA-developers that this is possible
can i just add the missing files from prior fw to the new one and it will be a full one??
i am talking about a full 1.02 to complete a non-full 1.2
thanks in advance
ps: i don't have thanks today so no one get angry from me

i am no talking about boot files only
i am talking about the whole fw
for ex shppapp file from non-full doesn't have alot of files should i add them simply??

Bootfiles can be added to non-full firmwares to make it a full firmware. I have tried that myself. But adding ShpApp to the non-full firmwares won't work. You will end up with the facebook, twitter, samsungapps, daily briefing and other default apps not working. If you really want the older ShpApp files, you may want to modify the non-full firmware's registry to include the apps present in the ShpApp file you want.

You may dump all files from full and updated shppapp with powerfull TriX tool, replace are old files to new and combine new full shppapp with files from update.
Thanks to b.kubica and adfree. Link

i know trix and i use it
i was talking about doing what you Xenon but not sure if it will work
waiting for adfree or someone who tried this to confirm it

You just had to take full ShpApp.app from a full version.
Idem for boot files.
No need PFS file.
The files needed are: BOOTFILES, amss.bin, apps_compressed.bin, CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXA_XXJL2.csc, FactoryFs_S8500_Open_Europe_Common.ffs, Rsrc_S8500_Open_Europe_Common.rc1, Rsrc2_S8500_Open_Euro_Common(Low).rc2, ShpAppHD.app (this one need to be replaced by ShpApp.app)

ok so i'll tell you what i understood
Boot files (from old fw)
amss.bin (new fw)
apps_compressed.bin (new fw)
Factoryfs.ffs (old fw as it is not present in new one)
ShpApp.app (old fw)
RSRC1.rc1 (new fw)
RSRC2.rc2 (new fw)
CSC.csc (new fw)
PFS.pfs (don't know and think it is not necessary at all but present in new fw)

Yes you are right.
But generaly FFS is present in update firmware.
Wich firmware are you talking about?

ok
if you noticed i am from Egypt so it is a middle east fw update from 1.02 to 1.2
its code name S8500JPKC1
the ffs is from the full fw

i tried what you said lasentenza and ended up with non-working facebook,twitter,youtube(makes the phone restart),samsung apps,sms app(makes the phone restart also)
i think the problem is not that simple

guys is ther any 1.2 region free firmware out ? if yes then please give me the link to download it
thanx in advance

what do you mean with "region free"???

i live in india and the 1.2 firmware is not avail here

what is the code of your firmware???
is your firmware belongs to Africa and middle east??

ok so i'll tell you what i understood
Boot files (from old fw)
amss.bin (new fw)
apps_compressed.bin (new fw)
Factoryfs.ffs (old fw as it is not present in new one)
ShpApp.app (old fw)
RSRC1.rc1 (new fw)
RSRC2.rc2 (new fw)
CSC.csc (new fw)
PFS.pfs (don't know and think it is not necessary at all but present in new fw)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Depend on your goal... as repair solution?
Factoryfs.ffs is mandatory if you erase with Multiloader the FFS... as it contain important Security folder with all Certs...
Sometimes Operator related Certs included... Yes, you could try other FFS from your Product Code. No guarantee that it work 100 % without sideeffects. As sometimes minor changes... Same for ShpApp.app. Older stuff can work, but have to be tested...
Maybe post please exact filenames. Sometimes same files are used in other Firmware Brandings...
Best Regards

What you need is a Indian CSC file. Just replace the CSC file in the firmware with the one I in an Indian 1.0.2 or 1.0 firmwares available at samfirmware.com. Like DDJI2 or DDJK1. Then in keypad type "*#5239870*#". Then choose pre-configuration. Then in the code box enter the following code: *#27236*# and then press done. Then choose INU which is for Indian region. NOTE: Remove sim card and memory card and backup all data before doing this. This procedure will reset whole phone.
Now you will get all default Indian sim card settings and other Indian settings.

It won't work it the update firmware does not contains FFS file.
You can't take one from other firmware I think

Bada Hacking

Can you modify the operating system of Bada?
i have created a thread and put up a link of youtube pls watch that maybe u will get a head start..
Right now we have this section up and about, let the hacking commence. We need three things, the latest build of Bada (the newest leaked 1.2) sTunes and a utility to mount and modify the firmware images.
Ill create a topic with all of these together so people can get started digging around from them selfs!
the stune is bulky like kies software
it hangs in between
btw the stune 1.07 shows the internal files i tried to modify the internals but the program stopped working
the Stune is written in c c++ language..
Could you upload and post sTune or maybe link me to a download that i can add to my utilities thread ?
there you go dude..Stune
changing my firmware ver
can somebody advice how i can change my middle east version of bada to an european or some asian version. i am still confused because of a note in samfirmwareworld not to flash a different region's firmware.
Next question is after manually flashing, will i be able to do any official update via kies.
Also pls hint which region gets the updates first so i canflash that fw, preferably english speaking operator free version frm europe or asia.
Thanks Sany

New Firmware with Signed. P1000DXKM2 THL

Please Read this first => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
Firmware info from Check Fus
Modified: 11/01/14
Latest firmware for: THL
PDA: P1000DXKM2
Phone: P1000DXJM2
CSC: P1000OLBJM2
Decrypt Code: 3899029
Url: http://fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_...00OLBJM3_P1000DXJM3_P1000DXKM3_DX_THL.zip.enc
still 2.2
kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
my tab was All Signed. I can flash JME to This firmware. No need to wipe. Odin 1.7 flashed only PDA and Manually reboot with Power+up.
it's smooth so far.
Is this for general Asia Pacific region or only for Thailand?
What's the decryption code for the enc file?
I am currently using DXJM4 version, but go through Kies, no updates available. Very weired.
it's asia version not only thailand , it think euro can use it as well because mine can use euro firmware version.
decrypt code, you can see above. try to look at it again.
anyway after I use Odin to flash,it can't update via kies anymore. normally kies firmware will roll up after fus in a few day or longer.
We need Roto to makes his version of this...im sure he will soon.
Are this Rom a multi, pls ?
Thanks

how to unpack this file?
Any additional changes with the firmware? Extra apps/settings?

IF YOUR BOOT IS STILL UNSIGNED , DO NOT FLASH SBL AND BOOT FROM THIS ROM.
It is very solid build. very smooth and browser seems to be smoother, scrolls better even when pages are still loading.
No extra apps.
Unlike KA build , kernel is signed so it can loaded if u have signed bootloader (jm*)
Very few locales, just english uk, english na and some asian.
You can repack it without sbl and boot files and flash on the top of the signed roms.

I'd like to. I have family events to attend to tomorrow, but if someone would post an unencoded firmware for download, Ill grab it and apply all the JME mods to it. In the meantime, feed back on KM2's quality is valuable. I'd hate to waste time on it just to go back to JME

Understandable....samfirmware release a bunch...all at the same time. JMF also release...so i would say it is the same as KM2 but for europe!
I have been trying to download it from samfirmware and decode it...but the site is not working.
Do not flash jmf

Guys...I just downloaded JMF and unless you can understand Russian - You cannot get back.
The moment the phone boots, it's all Russian (or greek, or something!)
I was listed under the EURO rom, i DOwnloaded and Odin it..... but I cannot get the language to go English.
I tried to go to Locale to change it to English - but Have no idea where I am.
I tried to flash JME back, but the tab still boots up in Russian.
How can I get it back to JME?
Out of frustration I flashed the JME pit file, but not difference, still Russian.
I'm stuck
Someone have any idea?....LOL
Thanks
Don't flash KM2 either.
KM2 only includes english (UK, US), Bahasa (Indonesia, Malaysia) Ting Viet and other asian locales
Font seems to be a bit thinner - looks good!
browser still laggy with blank pages after a second site is opened
Readers Hub is back
still no 2.2.1 or even 2.3...
Build number: FROYO.DXKM2
Dennis
Sorry Guys.....
STUPID, STUPIP...STUPID....
Man I feel like an IDioT.......DUH!
I got so excited and panicked when I noticed this STRANGE language on my TAB. I did Managed to fix the language in Local & Text, top option and scrolled down to English!
WHOALA - JMF works just time.
Still 2.2 though....
(did you guys see Sammy have announced the Tab 2!, dual processors,etc. I guess now we will NEVER see the "official 2.3 nor 3.0"!!!!)

I captured screen for you.
one more thing,I don't know where to upload 3xxMB decrypted firmware , it's too big and my upload is just only 512kbps.
and I think decrypt and unzip,it's less than 5 minutes for me. or someone can help for this.
anyway, you should wait for .apk unprotect signed from roto/chainfire and flash other firmware that isn't signed.

Thanks, I will sure to download and upgrade my current DXJM4.
I downloaded firmware and it's .ecn. I can't rename file type to .zip. What can I do with it?
Samfirmware.com has this version without encrypted code.
Anyway, how could we flash this firmware without boot.bin, Sbl.bin, zImage.
As long as Roto puts his hand on this firmware. I wont dare to flash to my GT.
FYI

Why is everyone depending on Rotohammer? Open it up with 7zip or similar, delete the offending stuff (sbl, boot, zImage) ...whatever and then flash it. Simple.

Multi-tasking on Bada native apps??..[more]

Hi Everyone,
XXIKA1. Does this firmware support Multitasking on Bada??
I've seen some videos on Youtube that show Multitasking with this firmware..
HERE'S THE VIDEO
Also does this allow for spoofing..(I've spoofed Asphalt free with which was not available anymore..) I have XXJK1 currently. And does this work in conjunction with Android. Than-Q.
XXJK1 and Android. Yes, you can use it, because I'm using that firmware too.

I think you misunderstood me. I am already on XXJK1. I want to know If I can use XXIKA1 with android and will it allow for spoofing? and does it actually have Multi-taking for Bada Native apps. thanks.
Sorry. I saw "I" as "J". Look main tutorial thread's first post. If your firmware isn't there, post there your question. Maybe someone make a bootloader for your firmware.
Thanks for the suggestions but I havce other queries too..
The bootloader and firmware (considered as the rest of the files with apps_compressed.bin as the most important) are completely different things that should not be confused.
The FOTA is prepared for certain bootloaders while they may run with different apps_compressed.bin as long as there is right header in the apps. Additionally, you may try modifying apps when it doesn't have the right header.

Thanks for the reply! But I am a little confused...as to what to do.
I just installed the 'bl_univ_boot_poc2.fota' before installing Android with XXJK1.
how to modify apps? Also do you knw whether this firmware (XIKA1) has bada multi-tasking? Or shall I just stick with XXJK1 (too good except multitasking.)
And apps-compreesed.bin is the preloaded apps right?
let me answer you questions
1.all bada firmwares from bada 1.0 support multitasking but for native apps only so XIKA1 is not that special
2.XIKA1 doesn't support sp**fing
3. booting Android needs three things
prepared fota (mijoma made it already) , apps_compressed.bin that support fota (if it doesn't support it there is a small exe mijoma made also to patch the file) , proper bootloader that is compatible with the fota (you can see all proper ones at mijoma's thread)
Important N.B : we don't flash modded bootloaders it bricks the phone

OK. too stupid of me. So I thought it was third-party bada apps multi-tasking..
OK stickin with XXJK1 the best firmw there is.

Flashing file with the wanted input method

Is it possible to flash the input method that I wanted (e.g. Chinese input) from a Chinese enabled firmware (e.g. ZAKA1) to the JL2 firmware?
Euhmmm as far as i understand you want chinese text and input on for example JL2. Well I'm not 100% sure. You could try flashing chinese CSC (make sure the versions are the same.. flasing a 1.0.2 CSC on 1.2 won't do a great job) to the JL2 firmware.. if that doesnt work out good you can always flash back to your origional FW but as far as I know the latest one (XXKF2) supports chinese INPUT (not sure about screen text) but i can select it
So the input method lays inside the CSC file? Let me try to flash the one from KF2 or from other 1.2 and report later

If you read my entire post .
I said you could aslo try flashing the normal XXKF1 First.. Because it already has chinese input.

I've tried to flash the CSC file from DXKE1 but the input methods were still from XXJL2.
But itsn't the XXKF1 for Europe? Surprise it contains chinese input.... anyway, downloading it from samfirmware.com

But it works OK, and you can install LOW rsrc2 so you don't need to change the debuglevel. It seems to be faster, there are preinstalled widgets and they works. Twitter and Facebook in Social hub works but the apps are missing. Pretty much everythig works.
Alright I installed it and have to say I like it, no crashes yet and overall it`s faster than KH3. If you move the camera it seems to be faster too. Widgets are also working. There are 4 widgets in total: Calendar, Analog clock, Date and time widget and weather widget)
How come, samfirmware were allowed to release another Beta-ROM? I thought they were scared to do that since Samsung put pressure on them. Or is it a final ROM? Why would Vodafone even bother bringing out some Beta-ROM?
Code:
Type : Unofficial Version
Number : 262
Builder : Dell02
Host : SCMDELL16
Date : [B]2011/09/16[/B]
Time : 19:35:07
Size : 42468732 bytes
CheckSum : 0xef3c5853
This Version is around 1 month old...
Maybe Samsung internal Versions much closer to Final...
S8600 stuff are from October...

Can you tell me how to find the date of S8600 FWs???
i want to know how new they are

They just said they are watched by Sammy and that they'll step back, nothing about beeing actually under pressure.
Either way: the new ROM is blaaazzzzing fast.
Restore functionality from KIES now works for me for everything except apps. (though several restores in a row may crash the phone).
I love Sammy and Bada
