Looks good to me ! Don't have the device tho, but u used the correct way to find out the partitions !
Ok. But i need to know what partitions i should describe in config as "partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p**" and other as "file"?
Well, the files inside the update app that have corresponding partitions on the device can have a partition attribute. This is only used for update zip creation, it actually writes the image to the partition.

Hi, worstenbrood
First of all, thanks for your great utility!:good:
I have a problem with repacking APP for Huawei G520-0000.
What I do:
* extract original APP-file using profile Huawei G610-C00, G520-0000, G510, C8813D, C8813
* repack new APP-file from the unpacked images without changing anything
When I try to install a new UPDATE.APP in phone I get error "Update failed"
Here is the content of sd_update.log:
Also, I unpack the new APP-file and compared the resulting images with the original images (after unpacking the original APP-file).
All files are the same, except 01.crc. Apparently, during repacking CRC is considered wrong.
P.S. Original UPDATE.APP file size is 929 199 624 bytes, after repacking is 929 199 622 bytes

Thanks for the report dude, appreciate it. (i don't own a huawei phone). I fixed the issue with the two bytes, (small error in writing remainder code) so sizes should be the same now. Also, sort the file list on filename (ascending) before repacking. The files will be written to the update app file based on how they are sorted in the list. Try the latest version and the original and repacked file should be identical (don't set a signature file, original signature file wile be used then).
The reason why the crc differs is probably because the file order in the repacked file is not the same as in the original file (crc file is calculated based on the order of the files).
Let me know the results !
Thank you for your quick response! It's really important to me now!:good:
I tried to repack UPDATE.APP with the new version of your utility. Now repacked file size identical to the original, but CRC still different. I attached to the post the original CRC and repacked CRC.
Later I will upload original UPDATE.APP, that you tried to repack it by yourself.
UPD
------
WOW! Now I restarted utility and again repacked the original UPDATE.APP.
Now original and repacked files are ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL!
Now I'll try to build APP with the modified images and install it to phone.
UPD2

Now I have new error after trying to install APP with modified images (sd_update.log):

Thats prolly because the signature file is not valid. Thats the only thing we still need, the original rsa private key or a patched bootloader with a modified public key (where we have the private key for ofcourse).
It's a pity!
Retry with the latest version (re- download and uninstall previous version)
Nothing has changed. Repacked file is identical to the one created in the previous version.

Bummer. I fixed a bug causing the order for crc creating to be wrong in some cases.
Now if we just had the rsa key..
I guess it some header which contains a signature (where we prolly need the huawei private rsa key for). I added detection for the header and the data behind it in magic.mgc, which will be included in the next version. Then at least it shows what kinda file it is (the header is also there in the P6 fastboot, recovery and boot image).

Huawei udate extractor open box problem
Hi,
I use laptop windows 7 32 bit.and connecting external monitor with vga port because my laptop Lcd was broke. I can't see open ( ... ) button any version of huawei update extractor. Why?

255Huawei Update Extractor
After messing around a bit with the perl tools available for extracting Huawei update.app files,
i got the idea to create an own (windows) tool.
Requirements
(All versions <= v0.9.9.3 need .Net Framework 3.5)
Latest version uses .Net Framework 4.6.1
Install
Extract the content of the zip to a folder somewhere on your system.
Execute HuaweiUpdateExtractor.exe
I'm planning to create an installer sometime.
Usage
Press the browse (...) button and select an update.app file. Select a device or unknown and press on the open button.
You'll see the content of the update.app file in the listview.
Select one or more files and right click. Choose Extract selected from the context menu.
Choose the ouput folder and press ok.
Or just right click on the list and select Extract all, choose the output folder again and press ok.
Press close on the extract window.
You can sort the list on sequence, filename and size. Just press on the desired column header.
Command line:
HuaweiUpdateExtractor extract input output [profile]
HuaweiUpdateExtractor repack input output profile
Profile
The profiles.xml file is used to identify the files in the update.app file. Every file in the update.app has a sequence or type, which is also
shown in the list. Those sequences or types are used to identify the file/device partition.
Example:
Code:<?xml version="1.0"?> <Profiles> <Profile name="Unknown" author="worstenbrood"> <Files/> </Profile> <Profile name="Huawei G510-0100" author="worstenbrood"> <Files> <File sequence="00000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p17">system.img</File> <File sequence="40000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p13">recovery.img</File> <File sequence="80000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p03">baseband.img</File> <File sequence="EC000000">version.txt</File> <File sequence="E4000000">splash.raw565</File> <File sequence="FC000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p12">boot.img</File> <File sequence="70000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p16">cust.img</File> <File sequence="30000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p18">userdata.img</File> <File sequence="FE000000" filetype="signature">signature</File> <File sequence="FF000000" filetype="checksum">crc</File> </Files> </Profile> <Profile name="Huawei P6" author="worstenbrood"> <Files> <File type="system" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p16">system.img</File> <File type="cache" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p17">cache.img</File> <File type="cust" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p18">cust.img</File> <File type="userdata" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p19">userdata.img</File> <File type="modemimage" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p13">modemimage.img</File> <File type="boot" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p12">boot.img</File> <File type="recovery" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p11">recovery.img</File> <File type="md5rsa" filetype="signature">signature</File> <File type="crc" filetype="checksum">crc</File> </Files> </Profile> </Profiles>
<Profiles>
- Root tag of the xml file.
<Profile>
- Identifies a device
- attribute name: name of the device
- attribute author: author of the device
<Files>
- File root tag
<File>
- Identifies a file
- attribute sequence: sequence of the file in update.app
- attribute type: type of the file in the update.app
- attribute partition: destination partition on the device
- attribute filetype: can be one of the following values:
* signature: used to identify the signature file
* checksum: used to identify the checksum file
- value: file name
You can add or edit devices. If you want them to integrate in newer version, pm 'em to me.
I'm gonna make some auto update for the device file somewhere in the future
To add your devices profile you'll have to identify your device partitions and map them against the files inside the update.app.

Roadmap
- You tell me ...
Credits
ZeBadger (zebadger@hotmail.com) for figuring out the file headers
S34Qu4K3 for the P6 partition layout
ngamyarthar for adding ALOT of devices!
Changelog
v0.9.1.0
- Create update zip works now, this requires to have a PERFECT device entry in the devices file. The sequence is used to identify the file AND partition. Only files that have these two will be included in the zip. USE WITH CAUTION, MAKE SURE THE PARTITION IS CORRECT OR YOU'LL END UP FLASHING THE WRONG IMAGES TO THE WRONG PARTITION !! I'M NOT RESPONSABLE FOR BRICKING YOUR DEVICE! IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, THEN DON'T USE IT!
v0.9.1.1
- Added Type to the filelist (shows INPUT for g510 roms, but shows some useful info on P6 roms)
v0.9.2.0
- Files now can also be identified by the type attribute in devices.xml
- Added P6 device
v0.9.3.0
- Crc check during extract
- Crc check during creating flashable zip
- Added row to see file is flashable
v0.9.5.0
- Added repack
- Added icons and tooltip
- Added settings

- Alot of stuff i forgot
v0.9.6.0
- Added command line options
v0.9.7.0
- Added G300 profile (thx ZeBadger)
- Added detailed info about the file (libmagic) in the tooltip on the extract list. This way it is easier to identify files inside the update.
(see screenshot). It will detect ext/fat/... partitions.
v0.9.7.1
- Alot of devices added in profiles (Credits to ngamyarthar, thanks alot dude!)

Donate if you like my work.6Is it possible to repack update.app?
If so, could you implemet such feature?
Since i almost finished update zip creation (new version tomorrow), i have put it on the roadmap (already thought about it anyway)5
Latest version has drag/drop for files and directories, files for update.app files, directories for repacking.4Next version will have a repack function included, i'm adjusting the UI but most of the repacking code is already written.
