[DEV] MAC OS Tools ... (and may be Linux)

[MisterWB]

Hi,

I start this thread for all mac user.
Purpose it's to list existing tools for our OS to root, flash, deodex, deblur and so on Defy phone.
Some shell scripts may be used by linux users.

Multi functions tools
1) MWB_Deodexer shell scripts (compatible macos and linux) I've been writing.
At beginning I wrote scripts to deodex rom, and step by step I added more functions.
Some bug could be present and I'm not a professional dev !!! so be indulgent with me.

How to use it ?

2. Go to MWB_Deodexer directory (ie 'cd ~/Desktop/MWB_Deodexer').
3. If it's first time you install MWB_Deodexer, then type 'sh install.sh' (don't take care if you have some warning message)
4. Next type './menu' or 'sh menu' to launch main menu

How to flash SBF rom
1) Use sbf_flash (last version is compatible linux and macos)
Home Page: http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/search/label/sbf_flash
Last version: http://dl.opticaldelusion.org/sbf_flash

sbf_flash support has been added for the Defy, Charm and possibly the Atrix.

sbf_flash [options] [sbf file]
-f - force; attempt to continue on error
-v - verbose output (of CDT)
-r - read CDT information from the phone
-x - extract sbf file
-d - download cg from phone
--cgname [file] - upload/download cgname
matches any cgname shown with -r
optional file arg for contents

On my mac I faced issue with sbf_flash, scripts freeze on " >> waiting for phone " message.
It seems USB driver behavior varie with Mac model
I'm looking for any help about.

2) Use RSD Lite 4.9, but it's an win32 exe !!! Fortunaly virtualization is here
I sucessfuly launched Windows on my Mac with Virtualbox and flash rom with RSD Lite.


How to depack/repack an SBF rom
To depack we can use sbf_flash:

sbf_flash -x <rom_name.sbf>  (thanks to dedraks)

To repack I don't know tools to do that. Maybe sbf_flash could help.
Purpose it's to create Fixed SBF.

As previous §, we can use win32 depacker into Virtualbox as sbfrecalc (split and repack sbf file) or motoandroidDepacker! (thanks iaio72)
