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

Upgrade f/w issue

Hey guys!
Couldn't find here but...
The situation is the following:
Have installed S8500XEKC1 with Multiloader and now if i try to upgrade the fw with kies (XEKC2) - kies informs that my phone can't be upgraded (however the phone was produced for russia). Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks

If you have Kies 2. Then Kies shows something with S8500blabla/S8500blabla(bla)
All 3 infos have to match exactly.
1.
Product Code in (...)
2.
CSC Name
3.
FW Version
Please post whole text Kies 2 shows you, or make Screenshot, then I can anwer without blabla.
Best Regards

I am too lazy to do this now for S8500XEKC1... but as you can see, I'm not noob.
Check this Thread:
http://www.samfirmwareworld.com/collection-product-codes-for-firmware-t501.html
Kies checks Database. Only if shown String is 1:1 the same like in Samsung Database, you can get update (if new public Version available).
So without exact info. I'm not able to tell what you could try to make your handset Kies "compatible" again.
Best Regards

Thanx adfree. Frankly speaking i have described the situation with wave of one of our users (badablog.ru), I will try to know more about his situation.

i have a problem like that after flashing modified firmware (to enable social hub)
i used kies patcher taken from the forum
i can now write whatever the value i want but i can't write a right formula
my firmware is S8500JPJJ3/S8500OJPJJ1
i installed GT-S8500HKAEGY as a product code as i am in Egypt but with no use
can you help me adfree please???

For EGY I found this as maybe valid combination:
S8500JPJK1/S8500OJPJJ1
I failed to find S8500JPJJ3...
I will try to find this Version for download or you can send me PM with Link.
So I could try, what to do...
Because this CSC part S8500OJPJJ1, could be:
MED
PAK
KSA
JED
MID
WAN
MAT
MMC
THR
XSG
.
.
Best Regards

adfree
it is okay now - we have found an instruction in russian how to restore wave's ability to update it with kies ) thanks

thanks adfree now it works
i think that samsung removed JPJJ3 as it is a spoofable firmware
anyway i am happy because i am able to make it work again

Did you try http://hotfile.com/dl/99644499/83fa601/S8530XXJKA.rar.html ? I'm downloading it too and will report back how it works (want to switch back to 1.2 so that I can continue developing under 1.x now that it has turned out there is no way of installing Bada 2.0 apps using current unofficial firmwares)
There's also a list of these firmwares at http://www.worcesterdwi.com/thread-145-1-1.html but they're all hacked / enhanced. I'll test them too.

Sucseed....
I downloaded the firmware from Samfirmware....
I flashed my phone....
After I connect it to KIES.....
KIES updated my phone to the latest version....
S8530XXJKA CSC_S8530_Open_Europe_Common_OXA_XXJK7
Now the firmware is
S8530XXKF1/S8530OXAKD7(DBT)
try it but change the product code to.... DBT

Downloaded and have been trying to flash, back from XPKH3. So far, without any success.
- If I try to flash with the bundled MultiLoader version 2.62, it reports and error right at the beginning, right after (successfully) transferring the bootloader, upon trying to delete the old bootloader.
- If I try to flash with the latest (2.65) MultiLoader version, everything seems to be all right; however, after the flashing and restarting the phone, what I get is the usual connect screen with the exclamation mark. From there, I can only switch to download mode again, but nothing else.
Flashing back to the latest 2.0 XPKH3 (with 2.65, of course) always works.
I'll soon try flashing with 2.62 without overwriting the bootloader (that is, removing the checkmark from the first checkbox) to see what happens as it's at erasing the bootloader that 2.62 fails.

try this...
Download the firmware from samfirmware...
I can not give a external link to you because I'm a newbie here and I'm not allowed to do it.
I think the firmware in Samfirmware is full and without problem....the multiloader is in the file...V5.62
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068735
is the real thread you gave me the link...do not forget to change the product code to DBT because I tried first XEU and KIES refused to update....
It should work properly....when I flashed just click ''full download and Master Rom" "LSI was already clicked by default"......
Good luck....

Thanks again. I've found out what I've done wrong: I've forgotten to check in the "Boot Change" (first) checkbox. When checking it in, with all the firmware versions (S8530XXJKA.rar I've linked to above; GT-S8530_XEF_S8530XXKF1_S8530OXAKD7.rar linked from the SamFirmware repo as the latest (June 2011) 1.2 firmware; even hacked ones with call recording, that is, S8530XXJKA_FULL_Custom_SHP_CR_1.0b_sYCO.rar ) I've thrown it at, it worked just fine.
I've used ML 2.65 for flashing all the time. Haven't tested 2.62 this time.

Good news...
Happy for you...

Hello all,
links in previous posts are dead.
Can any of you post this file (previous 1.x version of bada, europeean or french XEF release).
Purpose is also downgrading and upgrade tests via Kies.
Best regards,
Fred

Please Help Firmware

Good afternoon! I have a problem with my phone. I'm from Argentina and I am new to this. the problem I have is I can not move from Bada bada 2.0 to 1.2. The problem is that I have no signal bada 2.0. but when wanting to pass me da bada 1.2 ERROR ERASE: in BOOTLOADER, APPS - Rsrc1 and CSC. attempt to install over 10 firmware and could not always gives me this error. please if anyone knows help me thank you with all my heart! thank you! Greetings from Argentina!

Hello,
First of all check that if your phone is locked to your network Because if your phone is locked to your operator than you will not be able to use open region firmwares and you will not get any signal.So check and then update here so we can help you better.

If you bought your phone from Argentina, most likely it is s8500L.
So may be the problem is in the proper firmware.
If I'm right, you can get the right one from sammobile website:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=2&m=GT-S8500L&r=6#regiona
Best Regards,
Nasko

The phone is released. I can put any firmware 1.2 and it takes me the signal. the problem is now 2.0, and bada got no signal I take what I want to do is re-bada 1.2 but will not let me, I get ERROR ERASE at the boot, apps, Rsrc1 and FOTA. and will not let me install any firmware Argentina (L) because it gives me this error. and more than 10 firmwares probe and 3 different computers and I get the same error .. you would know that this error or to fix it?. Thank you very much for your help!

Multiloader Version?
5.67 ?
Windows Version?
XP?
Win 7 ?
32 or 64...
Help us what you use, then we can maybe help you better.
Best Regards

Adfree good afternoon! thank you very much for your interest! I'm very glad that someone like you care and that help you much apresio his great knowledge.
and with this probe to flash with
Multiloader Version: 5.65 / 5.62
Windows Version: XP (SP1, SP2 and SP3) / Windows 7.
Since I tested with it and always says the same ... the only firmware that lets me flash is the bada 2.0 of "Fosamobi2012_S8500" of badadownload.

Try one of the indian firmware its a old firmware try ddjk3 from asian version. Use v5.65 of multiloader. And after a successfull flash just flash again the version u want. Please check boot change and full download. Don not tick master rom. See if this helps you this is tested by me as once the same problem happened to me.
Thanx

Thank you very much for your help but I can not fix the problem. try and feel the same. I can not go to 1.2 or 1.0 bada no longer do: (

I forgot to tell you that when I get the ERROR ERASE, cel look at the screen and says:
! ABNORMAL SW DETECTED!
UPGRADE ONLY!. "
That's a must or I have to do to fix it?.

Is it S8530 ?
if so - you can try this firmware
S8530XXJL2 ## 1.2 2010 December S8530OXAJK7 Open Europe Download
it's old one but great ... she helped me alot
if it still doesn't help - flash only the boot files - separately
let the device do restart and only reEnter download mode
and flash the other files ....
P.s very important - full download & LIS in multiloader
try to use ver 5.65 not the 5.67
make sure that your pc is not busy and that you have sufficient battery
Good Luck

This is S8500. and is loaded to the maximum (which is left over when flash bada 2.0) but I can not flash bada 1.2 and 1.0.
You've tried all the files separately by a full flash and low but the same thing. I always throw the same error. Multiolader already tested with 6.62 and 5.65 and the pc without aplicasiones open.
Probe with more than 10 firmwares and none let me.

adfree a question. is possible to merge the bada ams.bin 1.2 with 2.0?
Since doing that I think I may have a sign. I saw many users in Argentina had the problem of not having signal bada 2.0.
They are very different both AMS.bin?. merge is too complicated to operate the signal?
Thank you very much from now! Greetings friend!

I'm using only Multiloader 5.67 if I play with bada 2.0...
XP 32 bit
Also for downgrade from 2.0 to 1.x I use only 5.67 to prevent "funny" phenomenons...
Best Regards

I use multiloader v5.65 and it works flawlessly when i do upgrading or downgrading on bada 2.0. I am having windows 7 32 x86-32 bits.
So adfree i think its not mandatory to use only v5.67 infact v5.65 works better and error free. But may be different person have different choices

I had simmilar isue (exept signal problem) while tried to downgrade S8500OXAKK7 2.0 to original Croatian 1.2 S8500XXKF3_S8500OXFKA1_TRA.
1st I had to flash Arabic S8500JPJG2. Worked fine for me! All done with MultiLoader v.5.65

Maybe ...
Try to flash to original beta rom of bada 2.0
but an earlier ver like :
S8500XPKH1 ## 2.0 2011 August S8500OXAKH1 Open Europe
and than try to downgrade
hope it will work
