0x0 Allow your DPT to accept PKG without correct key

This will create SECURITY FLAW in your system!

Comment out the key verification in file /usr/local/bin/start_eufwupdater.sh: (edit via busybox vi)

########################################
# verify sig
########################################
# dd if=$1 bs=$(($DATA_OFFSET)) skip=1 2>/dev/null | head -c $(($BODY_SIZE)) |
# openssl dgst -sha256 -verify $3 -signature $SIG_FILE 1>/dev/null
# if [ $? -ne 0 ]
# then
#   echo "Verify failed."
#   exit 0
# fi

Also, to prevent permanent brick, modify /usr/local/bin/updater_check.sh according to python_api/assets/updater_check.sh.

An easier way to do above is to run patch-updater-bash in dpt-tools.py --diagnosis in diagnosis mode.

0x1 Create your own PKG package

Use Official PKGs as Examples

An easy approach is to use the official pkg to begin with. Once you have downloaded the official pkg, use official_pkg_unpacker_pkg.sh to unpack it.

Usage:

chmod +x official_pkg_unpacker_pkg.sh
./official_pkg_unpacker_pkg.sh <file/path/to/official/pkg> <output/folder/path>

Then you can change the bash and let it run "anything" (as long as supported in diagnosis mode) during the update.

Tips

• In the bash, exit 0 means it will reboot, while exit 1 or any error status will shut down the system.
• Double check your commands. Try them first in diagnosis mode.
• Absolutely do NOT exit 1 while your script has errors. This will create an infinite loop of "system start -> update via pkg -> shutdown -> restart -> update -> shutdown -> ...". I learned the hard way and there is no way to fix it (soft bricked).

0x2 Re-Pack it with your own key

(as written in the bash, I use the data decryption key instead)

Pack the PKG with:

chmod +x unofficial_pkg_repacker_pkg.sh

./unofficial_pkg_repacker_pkg.sh <previous/output/folder/path>

Note that chkver.sh and verify.sh will check the validity of the pkg also (via version number etc.). So only modify things if you really know what is going on. You need to remove the version check. And you need to better not touch rawdata (remove that line or related) if you do not know what it does.

0x3 Validate the package

Easy validation by unpacking it again:

chmod +x unofficial_pkg_unpacker_pkg.sh

./unofficial_pkg_unpacker_pkg.sh <file/path/to/official/pkg> <new/output/folder/path>

If succeeded, the package PKG will be recognized by the DPT system.

0x4 Flash it

You can use dpt-tools.py to update the firmware you made:

python dpt-tools.py -id <deviceid file path> -k <your key file path> -ip <ip address>

Then type fw and follow the instruction.

Known Issues

• After reboot, it will appear errors saying update failed. But PKG is actually applied.
