0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher, version 0.8

EDIT 2018-07-08: Version 0.8 was released
EDIT 2016-12-25: Version 0.7 was released
EDIT 2014-11-18: Security update 0.6.1 was released
EDIT 2014-05-12: Final 0.6 was released

I'm releasing 0xFFFF flasher. It is open source alternative to Nokia proprietary flasher-3.5.

0xFFFF supports:
* generating and unpacking FIASCO images
* flash any image via NOLO protocol
* load+boot kernel & initfs without flashing
* read device and version information from NOLO
* dumping images to directory (or one fiasco image) on device (need deb package mtd-utils)

Missing features:
* flash mmc image image Mk II protocol
* flashing on device
...

Note that this is new rewritten beta version of 0xFFFF for Nokia N900. Flashing can damage or brick your device! You have been warned. Only for developers & testers!

Download:

Binary armel DEB package:
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d....8-1_armel.deb
(also available in Application Manager with Extras-Devel or Extras-Testing enabled)

Source code tarball:
https://github.com/pali/0xFFFF/relea...FFF-0.8.tar.gz

Source code git repository:
https://github.com/pali/0xFFFF

Examples:

Via USB:

Load kernel & initfs and boot it:
$ 0xFFFF -m initfs -m kernel -l -b

Flash kernel:
$ 0xFFFF -m kernel -f

Flash FIASCO image:
$ 0xFFFF -M image.fiasco -f

Flash only kernel from FIASCO image:
$ 0xFFFF -M image.fiasco -t kernel -f

Reboot:
$ 0xFFFF -r

Identify device:
$ 0xFFFF -I

On device (need nanddump from mtd-utils):

Dump all images to current directory:
$ 0xFFFF -e

Dump all images to one fiasco file:
$ 0xFFFF -E dump.fiasco

FIASCO packaging:

Show FIASCO archive:
$ 0xFFFF -M image.fiasco -i

Unpack fiasco image to current directory:
$ 0xFFFF -M image.fiasco -u

Generate new fiasco image from files xloader.bin, nolo.bin, zImage, rootfs and append device&version information (xloader for RX-51 hw revision: 2101 and 2102, version 1.0)
$ 0xFFFF -m RX-51:2101,2102:1.0:xloader:xloader.bin -m RX-51:2101,2102:1.0:secondary:nolo.bin -m 2.6.28:kernel:zImage -m rootfs -g image.fiasco

For all options see help:
$ 0xFFFF -h

0xFFFF can detect more image types from file header. If autodetection not working, see syntax of param -m ([[[dev:[hw:]]ver:]type:]file[%lay])

Re: 0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

Great thanks! As is currently stands is this capable of being a drop in replacement to flasher for most things? (eg http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_f...MC_in_the_N900).

Also is there a source repository hosted anywhere currently?

Thanks for this! :)

Re: 0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

Flashing eMMC is done via Mk II protocol which is not implemented yet. But some info about Mk II protocol is in "doc/mkii" file.

And for source code git repository: In will be in future...

Re: 0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

Is the flashing procedure very different between N900 and N9(50) devices?

As is well known the Harmattan flasher 3.12.1 cannot be used to flash an older PR release on a device that is flashed with a newer PR. Is that limitation built into the flasher executable or is it enforced in the NOLO part of the system on the device somehow?

What about the bytestream transfer between the PC and the device when flashing, is that encrypted and authenticated? I guess it would be possible to build quite secure authentication mechanisms between the flasher and NOLO but has Nokia bothered to do that?

Okay. In that case it is fairly difficult to reverse-engineer it. Bummer.

What about documentation, is there some comprehensive explanation about the workings of the whole flashing chain in Harmattan?

What is the function of the different parts of the flashing process, for example what is the APE algorithm that is needed, for example when flashing only the kernel image? I tried googling for that but no success really?

Re: 0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

I discovered that it is easy to create rootfs backup with this tool so If anyone is interested:
First use 0xFFFF -e to dump all images. It will partially fail because of not enough memory to dump emmc but kernel and rootfs will be dumped. Then create fiasco image from dumped files:
0xFFFF -m 2.6.28:kernel:kernel-RX-51_2.6.28-20103103\+0m5 - m rootfs:rootfs-RX-51_RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_MR0 -g fiasco.image.

Re: 0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

I bricked my testing N900 running CSSU thumb by installing U-Boot without creating bootmenu entries. U-Boot came up fine but of course couldn't boot anything.

At that point 0xFFFF gave me that output for the device:

Code:

Before I do any more stupid things I'd like to ask for advice. There's no data on the device that's worth saving but I'd prefer to only flash what's necessary.
Since I've never flashed an N900 before I neither have any experience with this, nor do I have any images. I obviously have 0xFFFF and I got the maemo-flasher debian package from here [2] (afaik it's the same for N810 and N900, please correct me if I'm wrong).

So can someone please tell me what files I need to obtain and what to do with them (if it differs from the standard procedure)?
The image links in the wiki are dead, so seem the links panjgoori put up here [3].

Re: 0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

You must also copy modules from kernel-cssu-modules_2.6.28-10cssu3_armel.deb package to maemo rootfs.

2014-10-19 10:54

Re: 0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

Afair u-boot had (has?) the stock kernel attached.
So you should have only selected run attached kernel!?

Now you have cssu kernel and possibly no modules, as said. I would go and flash the u-boot kernel (package u-boot-flasher) if its size is around 2MB. Then you should be able to run attached kernel.
Furthermore ther is u-boot console giving you the possibility to "run noloboot" which should also work. More info in u-boot thread.

If all fails, just extract stock kernel and load/flash this one to device, as you have done with cssu. This should boot.

2014-10-19 11:17

Re: 0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

Why no modules? He clearly stated, that he had been running CSSU thumn before flashed u-boot to kernel area.

I have no idea what is going wrong, sulu - flashing zImage, as you did (if it was the SAME kernel and version, that you used before u-boot) should be enough to boot without problems. Maybe you were running older version?

/Estel

// Edit

Also, I don't get the thing about "cold flashing mode" from your logs. Why the hell 0xFFFF brings it up on it's own? Maybe flashing kernel's zImage went wrong, somehow?

Because 0xFFFF is faster than nokia flasher. When you start n900 it first enter to cold flash mode, then wait very very small interval and then boot nolo which enter into normal flash mode. And 0xFFFF detected that cold flash mode and just told n900 to continue booting nolo (Sending OMAP memory boot message...).

How would I do that? I see no way to flash these modules and I don't know how to mount any of the partitions on the dead device manually.

I tried that but it didn't boot the kernel.
I'm not sure what exactly happened but it was either a bunch of messages saying the FS couldn't be mounted (this definitely happened when trying to boot from eMMC and µSD) or plain nothing.

Ok, so I got the extras-testing package [1], extracted u-boot-2013.04-1+zImage-2.6.28-omap1.fiasco (1.8MB) and tried to flash it:

Code:

To flash fiasco image (not raw image), you need to specify it with big -M param, not small -m.

fiasco image is just archive (with attributes) which can contains more raw images.

This is on Debian Wheezy/amd64 with multiarch. The amd64 version of 0xFFFF didn't work because it requires glibc 2.14 but Wheezy only has 2.13. I'm not sure if the crash has any effact as the flash operation seems already finished.

U-boot now comes up fine but when trying to boot the attached kernel I get these messages (transcribed from a photo):

If you think that running thumb system on stock (attached) kernel is right way then I wish you luck :P

Re: 0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

I rebuilt the 0xFFFF Jessie/amd64 package but the result was the same. Flashing went fine but the same memory corruption occured afterwards.

I then flashed the combined image I found here [1] and the device came up fine. Reinstalled CSSU thumb, u-boot and bootimg packages and everything is ok.
I think my initial fault was that I only installed u-boot but not the bootimg package.

After successfully flashing the combined image 0xFFFF repeated this in an infinite loop (had to kill it via ctrl+c):

Methinks that if you would flash the cssu-thumb kernel instead of u-boot+vanilla kernel at this point, you would have perfectly booting device, in the state from before installing u-boot. Now, you could have go with installing u-boot and it's bootmenu tools.

But I haven't flashed in ages, so forgive, if I messed something. Also, it's of no importance, as you have already reflashed, right?

That was the first thing I've tried, but apparently I either did it wrong or it simply doesn't work.
