Meanhwile I have SM-R600 Firmware for study.. Thanx. :angel:

Next problem.
Old methods not work to unpack... :rolleyes:
7zip nor ext4 unpacker work... :confused:

So they used something "new"...
Code:
nad_fw.bin
nad_refer.bin
In BL package... this 2 for me unknown files inside...
Maybe with some Google search I can find some usefull info...

Short XDA search...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=nad_fw.bin
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=nad_refer.bin

Maybe this can lead to compatible Unpacker/Extractor...

Best Regards

For extraction I will try this... as other attempts failed...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-how-to-extract-img-to-dump-t3673863

Will report if success...

Best Regards

Edit 1.
Attempt 1 fail...
SVAImgUnpack.exe ramdisk.img

Code:
SVAImgUnpack - Unpacker img to ext4. Version 2.1 from 30.04.2013
----------------------------------------------------------------


Source file: ramdisk.img (file size = 7.340.304 bytes)

Destination file: ramdisk.ext4.img

Unpacking ...



Header error: source file has wrong format! Program terminated.


Unpacking successfully done!

Press any key ...
Edit 2.
I can mount *.img files in Tizen Studio... :cool:
Emulator with Tizen 3 Mobile... as I need SD card feature... otherwise not enough space to mount and tar 1200 MB
Then simple "copy & paste"... with SDB

First I have waste my time with Wearable Image T3... and spent hours to realize that SD card option is not possible here... :D :rolleyes:

COMBINATION-FT30_R600XXU1AQI6.tar.md5
:good: :cool:

Thanx for sharing.

I can not try self... as no SM-R600... but first look looks good.
Related to my first mistake with SM-R732... where I have first flashed the Live Demo Unit Firmware... :D :eek:

2 XX in Filename is correct for Retail device
3 XXX means "danger", because for LDU

Also no Rollback Prevention problem at the moment visible...

Code:
R600XXU[COLOR="Green"][B]1[/B][/COLOR]AQI6
R600XXU[COLOR="Green"][B]1[/B][/COLOR]AQI8
Both Firmware packages in same Software Revision. :good: :good:

So in theory...
We need only 1 brave tester. :D

I need some time to extract all files...
To check if Codes etc. maybe same or changed...


Best Regards

I have extracted Combination Firmware in this way...

Still with help of Tizen Studio... Tizen 3 Mobile Emulator...


"Beta" Batch...
Code:
sdb root on
sdb push t3.tar /opt/media/SDCardC
sdb shell cd /opt/media/SDCardC
sdb shell tar -xvf t3.tar
sdb shell mkdir csc
sdb shell mkdir user
sdb shell mkdir ramdisk
sdb shell mkdir ramdisk-recovery
sdb shell mkdir system-data
sdb shell mkdir rootfs
sdb shell mount -t ext4 -o loop,rw user.img /opt/media/SDCardC/csc
sdb shell mount -t ext4 -o loop,rw user.img /opt/media/SDCardC/user
sdb shell mount -t ext4 -o loop,rw ramdisk.img /opt/media/SDCardC/ramdisk
sdb shell mount -t ext4 -o loop,rw ramdisk-recovery.img /opt/media/SDCardC/ramdisk-recovery
sdb shell mount -t ext4 -o loop,rw system-data.img /opt/media/SDCardC/system-data
sdb shell mount -t ext4 -o loop,rw user.img /opt/media/SDCardC/rootfs
tar -cvf r600v1.tar rootfs
tar -cvf r600v2.tar csc
tar -cvf r600v3.tar user
tar -cvf r600v4.tar ramdisk
tar -cvf r600v5.tar ramdisk-recovery
tar -cvf r600v6.tar system-data
rm t3.tar
sdb pull *.tar
Maybe someone find other Tool or method to extract Tizen 3 Firmware...

Best Regards

I HAVE the live demo version. Can I Flash regular version of tizen onto live demo unit with any of the zip files in this forum? I'm very familiar with flashing via odin, i just can't tell if any of these will work on my unit?

Thanks for all the work @adfree! I have the Canadian SM-R600 (R600XXU1AQK4) and was wondering if you have had any success yet changing the CSC? I saw you played an active part in accomplishing that on the S3.

I'm by no means proficient in programming, but quite familiar with rooting, sdb, odin, etc. Let me know if I can help.

Cheers!

I have no SM-R600 for own tests... :eek:

1 user told me via PM he tried COMBINATION-FT30_R600XXU1AQI6.tar.md5 long time ago.
With no success in changing CSC...

He wrote...
Flashing no problem... Combination Firmware work... Code is same...
But after Reboot old CSC is back... :eek:

I have only idea it is maybe related to Product Code...
Maybe security increased... or maybe only no luck.. or maybe error in Combination Firmware...

Meanwhile also CQL1 as Combination Firmware "available":
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]COMBINATION-FT30_R600XXU1AQI4.tar.md5[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Green"][B]COMBINATION-FT30_R600XXU1AQI6.tar.md5[/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR="Red"]COMBINATION-FT30_R600XXU1AQL1.tar.md5[/COLOR]
Green means we have for free download... :good: and tested by 1 user :cool:
Red is only on paid sites... :eek:

Maybe with other Combination Firmware more luck...

Maybe if somebody is willing to test...
Own risk!

Best Regards

Edit 1.
SDB Tool is for instance here... with tiny Instruction how to connect via WiFi...
