Guest sztupy Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone! Since Pako released the command line version of it's eXecutor, I could finally do a CSC injector utility. The idea is simple: although the PDA.bin can't be edited after cooking, the CSC.bin is still intact, and can be used to add even more user customization. Afterburner will try to inject a (_setup.xml enabled) cab file to the customer.csc file. It will do that in an automated way, so it will do the extraction, injection and repacking with one command. BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN OMNIA I COULDN'T TEST WHETHER THIS REALLY WORK! THEORETICALLY THERE SHOUDLN'T BE ANY PROBLEM, BUT WHO KNOWS... This is a command line utility (might create a GUI for it later) Usage: afterburner [-d] [-e updater.exe] cab_file_name(s) For example to inject Manila 2d Lite AIO.CAB into DXIA1.exe do the following: 1. Run shell.cmd 2. Enter the following afterburner -e DXIA1.exe "Manila 2d Lite AIO.CAB" 3. Press ENTER 4. You'll get an output.exe updater with the modifyed CSC (and without the phone.bin part) 5. Flash and enjoy (and hope it works :) ) Known bugs: - afterburner will only work with cabs that have a "_setup.xml". Older cabs made for WM2003 DON'T have a _setup.xml file! For them you have to use ervius package creator the extract them, and then use pkg2cab to re-cabify them. Many thanks to Pako for his eXecutor! Beware: CSC file can contain maximum 512 files! Beware: Source code included (GPL3)afterburner.zip Edited February 4, 2009 by sztupy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Meen Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think it would be better that your program can check total file so it will not exceed 512 files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sztupy Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think it would be better that your program can check total file so it will not exceed 512 files. I've just heard that someone was able to inject Manila2D into CSC with my tool, so it might work with more than 512 files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lastnikita Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) just tested (not your tool yet, just the usual way) adding files to CSC will decrease available storage A LOT (about 250% what you add), not recommanded, unless I'm missing something !

Guest t2008 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 It work fine. I hope that the new version will have more parameter [-p <prefix>] , option prefix files for identifier and do not overwrite duplicate files in CSC :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lastnikita Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) nothing :) obviously I may be missing the point, I just copied a big file over OEMapps and flashed, then over CSC and flashed. I miss informations on how CSC works :D edit: I *might* (nothing is less certain) be in touch with a dev from samsung via another guy, is there anything I should ask in priority ?

How about asking if they are ever going to fix the bug with Bluetooth Headset and Microsoft Voice Command not working, i.e. not possible to use the headset to speak commands to VC.

Guest sztupy Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 adding files to CSC will decrease available storage A LOT (about 250% what you add), not recommanded, unless I'm missing something ! but even if you don't miss anything, some small customizations (like adding the remotetracker.dll, change a theme, provide user information, etc.) should be fine. Of course this part would really need a GUI configurator :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lastnikita Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yep small stuff will always be fine, it's a nice method for beginners (until the new kitchen comes out wooo lol), thanks for the link :) How about asking if they are ever going to fix the bug with Bluetooth Headset and Microsoft Voice Command not working, i.e. not possible to use the headset to speak commands to VC. Sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
