Default just a thought

hi all,
just a thought.

and if its dumb then please say so lol

i understand development has stuck with getting roms onto the phone, we can encrypt and decrypt tsw's i think, but cant load them.

could we just replace the file in the official download and copy over the certificates or tell the certificates to look somewhere else for the relelvant version info?

it would require stripping out the official tsw, not sure how thats going tbh, and replacing it with our bits and bobs. copying over the certificates and modifying there dependacies or something

??? any thoughts ???

im not familiar with the pin shorten method but i assume the boot rom/boot loader looks for a specific file extension (.tsw) not a .bin, you cant rename it .bin as compression and packing is different to each format, so it wouldnt work.

its down to the sddl+ to allow the file to be written and the phone to accept it without questioning where its from (official or not)


people out there can hack into goverment secrets ina blink of an eye, yet no one can beat toshibas back to front programming

just a rant....for now

I'm sure, the shortcut method will load not encrypted files with .bin extension as well as excypte with .tsw and .enc. extension.
