Object Store

Recently, I took a copy of the object store in my PPC. I am trying to figure out the structure to the header:

As you can see, there is a structure to it and I don't know where it is defined. Please help.

Did you try comparing it to any of the structures in Platform Builder?

HTC Camera Counter

Good evening again peoples,
Last thing I'm sorting out on the phone after the rom upgrade it the camera. just spent the last two hours sorting out all the file names and order of my images and put them on the phone again.
However the camera's counter is set to 1. I found a tweak on the Polaris forum
schaggo said:
Ok guys, I got a tricky one: how to set the camera image counter to a custom value?
Everytime I hardreset my Polaris the damn application starts counting up from IMG0001.JPG again... HTF can I manually set that to the latest picture taken?
Edit: Was a tricky one but I solved it myself. Under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Camera\5.04\Preferences] you'll find an entry VALUES. Change bit 0068 to the desired value in hex. Example: Mine was 06 and resulted in IMG0006.JPG, I now changed to 74 which equals 116 in hex, my next pic will be named IMG0116.JPG
Got it?

But there isn't 5.04 folder on my Nike. Is there anyone that could tell me what to do?!
I've managed to sort out the registry so that the phone saves to Storagecard/mydoc~/mypictures. And also has a prefix of Image_ I just need help with this one last thing!
Thanks in advance!

The key will match the camera version in your ROM - for example, I've got a key 5.06. Just look inside whatever key you have.

Thanks!
I cant believe how dim I was! I know that I'm just starting out with flashing roms and editing registries.. but I had a "blonde" moment
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER" isn't listing on my phone, but HKCU is...
Thanks!!!!!
EDIT: Anyone know what the correct HEX for 402 is? On line calculators are telling me 192 however the phone is telling me that "192" isn't a valid string! Isn't it supposed to have letters in?

I haven't looked at it but I would guess that the reg key is divided up into 2 character bits each of which will go up to a maximum of FF (255 in decimal).
So, yes 192 is hex for 402 but you can't set one bit that high.
Just what I expect to be the case.

Thank you for your help RandomE,
I'll think I'll PM schaggo to see if he can offer any suggestions.
So do you think that you would split up the 192 Hex code to "FF" & "93"?

whoa guys, somebody actually called for my help, yay!
ok, I reflashed my polaris with the Syrius-ROM and didnt look at this issue any longer. I never got over like pic 200 or so, so it never really was an issue to me. But good question, what about numbers higher than 255...?
I'll recheck the registry values and see what I find out. It could very well be that itll turn FF00, ff01, ff02 and so on...

Ok, found out how it works:
Bit 68 is the pic number in hex. Once it reaches 255 eg FF, bit 69 turns one up. So bit 68 is the running number while bit 69 is the index for bit 68. Example:
Code:
Pic 68 69
220 DC 00
221 DD 00
223 DE 00
...
254 FE 00
255 FF 00
256 00 01 <--!
257 01 01
258 02 01
...
510 FF 01 (510 = 255+255 = FF+FF)
511 00 02
...

So my reg value was:
00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
05 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 03 00 00 00

00 00 00 00 C0 27 09 00
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
And for the image value to be 415 to get the Hex values I did 415-225=190 which is BE in HEX so I did this:
00 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
05 00 00 00 05 00 00 00
03 00 00 00 03 00 00 00

00 00 00 00 C0 27 09 00
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
!!! YAY !!!
EDIT: I set the vale to BD as when the valve was BE the picture came out as 416.
Thank you so much!!!

Damit, judging by the time of posts, it took me half an hour to find something that simple out AAAARRRGH...!
Have fun guys
Hope it helps some others as well...!

Help Please!
I have very little knowledge of hex. I was hoping someone here could give me a hand with changing my counter to 92.
Here is my hex for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Camera\5.04\Preferences\Values] as i see it in phm regedit.

With my Touch Pro2 I found out that byte 109 and 110 are the right ones for this solution.

thanks for this tip !

Obtain Hidden APN Details from Telstra handset

Hi everyone,
A carrier in my country (Telstra) has recently started offering all-you-can-eat activesync plans, however they have placed a limitation on which handsets you can use, by way of a hidden APN in the phone's ROM, meaning you can only use their approved handsets, purchased from them.
What I am hoping is that there is a way to obtain the APN details from the handset or the ROM directly, so I can populate the APN into my 'unsupported' device and take advantage of the offering, as it would suit my needs perfectly. I believe I have located the registry entry under RASBOOK that correlates to the APN, however lack the necessary skills to decrypt it.
Does anyone here know how to, or know a better way to get the APN details from the handset so I can use it in my hardware that I already own, as I do not wish to purchase a new handset just for the sake of utilising the plan. The HEX value of the key is as follows:
00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 F8 07 F5 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 7E 00 47 00 50 00 52 00 53 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 F6 D1 93 01 C4 F0 91 0D 4C 14 FB 03 65 00 00 00 4C F5 91 0D 4C F5 91 0D 86 CF 93 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 40 32 23 00 74 21 92 4E 4C DE 01 00 20 26 04 00 F2 F0 BE 8F 00 00 90 4E 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 90 4E 00 00 04 00 00 00 90 4E CC BB F6 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 E8 72 70 04 00 00 07 04 00 00 6E 04 A0 00 00 00 B0 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 BC BE F6 03 00 00 00 00 A0 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 18 72 70 04 68 C1 F6 03 20 72 70 00 A8 F1 91 0D 3A 72 70 00 2A 72 70 00 40 E3 69 00 A0 F3 6F 00 F4 B3 F6 03 B0 D4 69 00 8C 1B F5 03 F0 8E 04 00 E8 72 70 04 68 C1 F6 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 6D 00 6F 00 64 00 65 00 6D 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 AC F1 91 0D F0 72 70 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 43 00 65 00 6C 00 6C 00 75 00 6C 00 61 00 72 00 20 00 4C 00 69 00 6E 00 65 00 00 00 00 80 F0 40 05 00 01 00 00 00 C8 67 02 00 10 F2 91 0D 02 00 00 80 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 30 01 07 00 F0 40 05 00 F4 F2 91 0D 00 00 00 0C 02 00 00 80 15 00 00 00 40 03 00 00 43 03 00 00 43 04 00 00 44 04 00 00 7B 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 F0 E1 D2 C3 F0 E1 D2 C3 64 B0 00 00 F8 F2 91 0D 00 00 00 00 F8 F2 91 0D DC 04 6A 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 78 D7 94 01 94 F7 91 0D E0 7B F9 03 35 F3 91 0D C8 01 00 00 F8 F2 91 0D 42 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 01 00 00 E1 F7 2B 5A 20 1F 00 C3 4D 56 9A 4D 4B EB 77 28 DE DB 0A 30 00 00 28 CA 96 D6 8F 99 03 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 F8 F2 91 0D 54 C6 F8 03 E0 C9 93 01 30 D9 94 01 E8 C1 F3 01 C0 CB F8 03 F8 F2 91 0D 24 21 6A 03 60 14 F7 03 E0 C9 93 01 E0 C9 93 01 5C 21 6A 03 63 00 65 00 6C 00 6C 00 75 00 6C 00 61 00 72 00 20 00 74 00 61 00 70 00 69 00 20 00 73 00 65 00 72 00 76 00 69 00 63 00 65 00 20 00 70 00 72 00 6F 00 76 00 69 00 64 00 65 00 72 00 00 00 6E 04 BC 00 00 00 D0 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 BC BE F6 03 00 00 00 00 BC 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 E8 72 70 04 68 C1 F6 03 F0 72 70 00 00 00 00 00 0A 73 70 00 FA 72 70 00 40 E3 69 00 A0 F3 6F 00 F4 B3 F6 03 B0 D4 69 00 8C 1B F5 03 F0 8E 04 00 01 00 00 00 30 01 07 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 30 01 07 00 00 00 00 00 88 21 92 4E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 30 01 07 00 00 00 00 00 9C 95 04 00 01 00 00 00 C4 F3 91 0D 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 50 09 6A 03 30 01 07 00 88 21 92 4E 06 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 A0 F4 91 0D 84 42 02 00 03 00 00 00 F0 40 05 00 50 09 6A 03 00 00 00 00 10 6C 02 00 28 F4 91 0D 4E 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 06 00 00 00 F0 40 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 44 DB 94 0D 30 01 07 00 F0 40 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 02 00 00 80 15 00 00 00 40 03 00 00 43 03 00 00 43 04 00 00 44 04 00 00 7B 04 00 00 30 00 92 0D 4E 00 00 00 60 00 00 00 44 DB 94 01 00 00 00 0C CC 9D FE 8F 1A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 74 71 D4 8E 10 CF 93 01 00 00 00 0C 4C 35 68 8F 0F 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 74 71 D4 8E 10 9D 47 80 20 DD 7E 8E 4C 35 68 8F 0F 00 00 00 38 FE 00 F0 E8 F4 91 0D 38 5A 02 80 0F 00 00 00 10 CF 93 01 C4 B3 00 F0 E8 C1 F3 01 DC 04 6A 03 00 00 00 00

Can anyone shed any light on this. I have spoken to some other users who are looking for similar info.

[Q] compressed XPRS image and WinCE 6.0 in qemu/emulator ?

Hi,
from the firmware upgrade of an ARM9 Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Device, I was able to extract a number of files, including the kernel image (NK.BIN.COMP).
However, with tools such as osnbtool, ImgfsToDump or ImgFsTools I was unable to decompress the image.
The image starts with:
Code:

I suppose this is the Xpress compression format that is used in Win CE 6.0 ?
Are there any tools available that can decompress this image ?
Also, I would like to know which emulators you use to test out Win CE images.
I tried qemu-system-arm with the ARM926EJ-S core emulation, but it didn't work so far.
Ultimately, I would like to be able to boot into the image I extracted from the firmware upgrade and start a remote debugger inside the image, so that I can step through the code.

Hi,
as I already knew that the image was a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 image, I installed Platform Builder and other required development components.
My plan was to find out how the NK.BIN.COMP image is decompressed by the WinCE 6.0 loader.
It turned out, that the file had just been compressed with the WinCE 6.0 bincompress.exe tool (PUBLIC/COMMON/OAK/BIN/I386/bincompress.exe).
Although at least some of the tools I tried previously had compression support by using the WinCE libraries, it didn't work.
My best guess is that the libraries were for older versions of WinCE and thus it didn't work.
So, if you ever see "XPRS" at the start of a WinCE file, it has been compressed with bincompress.exe
I'm now trying to run the decompressed image either in qemu or in the MS Device Emulator.
I guess the Device Emulator will be the easier way.
Cheers,

Easily Moddable HDMI Capture box

This looks like one of the most easily moddable/hackable boxes I have ever seen. It is sold by a UK company Maplin and is called a "Maplin Game Capture HD" .
(Sorry in order to get through the new user limitation on posting links I have had to horribly mangle my links)
world wide web dot maplin dot co dot uk /p/maplin-game-capture-hd-a84qu
It is a (cheap) HDMI capture box up to 1080p that has three modes capture to SD card, stream to network and capture to PC via USB. For game play, but can capture any HDMI input (non-HDCP).
The reason it's potentially easily moddable is that a telnet to port 23 in network mode gives you a root shell on it straight away. With a fully writeable root file system.
So far I have used this to start an FTP daemon that lets me FTP files straight from the SD Card though the NIC is a bit slow. Stole the command from their /plbin/start_ftpd.sh file and run "tcpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 21 ftpd -w /".
There is a also a web interface for debug, that can be started with cd /plbin; ./test_web.sh. I may have had to set the WEBPAGE_LANGUAGE to "en" in nvram, to allow it to start. "/bin/plnvram wr WEBPAGE_LANGUAGE en"
The admin password for the web interface is just blank.
Very interestingly, if you use their app to display the streamed content from this device it allows you to see HDCP content, just not record it. I have so far had no need to look into this.
Lots of other functionality looks just commented out in the configs.
The web interface tells me this device is actually a SIGMA-PL330B,
world wide web marketwired dot com /press-release/sigma-designs-introduces-new-hd-video-encoder-technology-1518168.htm
And may well be the same (or a repackaged) version of this box
world wide web dot maxmediatek dot com pd-page/MM_V.htm
HS602 as they seem to use the same app to display the stream.

Did you come across anything that allowed you to record using software other than VivaStation?

I didn't but I haven't looked to hard, as recording to SD card was all I needed.

Hi - I've been looking for a way to start the streaming on this box by command line when logged into the box via telnet, but no real luck.

I bought this from Maplin, but had to return the first one for a refund as I could not get the software to install on W10 (even with .net 3.5 installed), just kept throwing an error in Chinese! After looking online for replacements that do the same thing, costing between £80-250 (even the used ones, granted they do proper 1080 over Ethernet), I decided in the end to buy the box again, but from ebay...
This time I did manage to get the ShareView software installed on another machine after I spent a day installing windows 7 on it (it's an old machine + 235 updates!)..
Anyway, the commands the shareview software sends (via telnet) to get it to stream over ethernet seem quite straightforward..
First it "uploads" a config file with the contents..

to /plbin/hs_enc_ts.cfg
And then launches the following command, three times, not sure why but it does., because when I run it, it only needs to be ran once..
Code:
/plbin/plstrm enc config /plbin/hs_enc_ts.cfg oudp <IP ADDRESS> oport 8085 reduceprintf nouserinput
That's all I know for now, will update if I find anything new to report =D

Hi mpmc - I think it does more than just uploads that file and runs the plstrm executable. Somehow it also passes the stream settings too. I feel I am getting somewhere, but still not able to kick off the streaming via the command line.

Sorry for such a late reply.
I'm guessing by stream settings you mean the settings that upload to places like youtube? If so, I'm not sure myself as I don't need it for that function, but I will have a go & see if I can figure it out, but hopefully somebody has already worked it out by now.

Sorry for necroposting, but this thread hid me right on the spot. I got this box (in the form of Startech's overpriced variant), mainly for its standalone streaming to RTMP, but also as it has SD recording and HDMI capture (which I needed exactly, and nothing else).
The 720P streaming is horrible - bad codec settings (bitrates and gop probably), which means that 720P looks like 320x240 upscaled. So I opened the box to find a board number, so maybe some hack would pop up.. But telnet? - This is golden
Before I start reverse engineering (I don't really have any experience with telnet or *nix based stuff), maybe someone here worked out the details and would like to share?
TLDR. How do I set up the streaming codec settings via telnet and make them stick?

Glad I'm not the only one still playing with this box.
I did have a go at working out the protocol used between the box and the software, I got as far as understanding how they find each other. The software makes a UDP broadcast to 255.255.255.255 on port 8086 with the message "HS602". The box then sends a UDP message ("YES") back, direct to the caller on the same port. The box then opens tcp port 8087 to which the software connects & they converse..
Sample of their conversation goes like this..

I have no clue as to what this is! Hopefully you'll have better luck trying to decode it!

What I found so far, is that when I set up FTP the way OP posted, I can access the whole file system. I have copied it all, and am trying to find where the stream settings are stored. The mentioned cfg file does not exist though. If that works, I'll just make some custom app, that will telnet to open ftp, and upload my settings every time. However I am currently trying to just work out the basics of telnet controlling a linux system. None of the tutorials online help at all, but I found, that I can execute commands that are compiled packages in the operating folder. So far that helped for nothing I found a qzip thing in it, so maybe I will image the filesystem a little more properly than over ftp.
How could I listen the telnet communication between ShareView and the HS602? Btw - both of your pasted pieces are the same - intentional or mistake?
It also seems, that there is a whole settings web interface in plbin\www\, but I don't yet understand how to set up the webserver.

After finally launching the webserver I found that the website is some sample design and while it saves it's settings, they have no relation to the operation of the device. Going back to searching where ShareView puts it's settings and how to change them.

The stream settings aren't stored anywhere as far as I can tell, it gets sent to the running plkw binary, which appears to be the "server" for the software. This is what handles the upload to the receiving rtmp server, receiving of the encoder config, etc.
I used Wireshark to intercept the chatter between the software & the box. Yes, I know they're the same, I'm assuming it's just an echo.
I'd actually bricked mine by disabling the auto.sh scripts & ended up with no network. Thankfully mine has serial/uart pins populated & I was able to reverse the changes! Took me a while to figure the pinout (no meter) and why some chars weren't registering (needs parity set to EVEN).
Code:
Pinout starting from back of the SD card slot (Look underneath for the square pin).
[ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ]
1 = VCC (5v) - If not powered by usb it'll crash if ethernet is connected shortly after boot.
2 = TX
3 = RX
4 = GND
Will update if I find anything else out.

The thing is that it does work as the manual says - set it up, and then it can be used standalone, even after a reboot. Some kind of settings seem to be in the binaries plkw, plstrm and quite a few others, stored in plain text (echo texts maybe?)

Good to know. I thought that looked like some JTAG.. Did you go via telnet there as well?

Could you elaborate on how did you find what file and what command it sends over telnet? (The ones mentioned in #6)

By killing the already running plkw process on the box & running it again, you get to see what it outputs when they talk. That output is from wireshark.

Yes, it appears that I was wrong, it does in fact store them, it writes them to memory (I'm guessing to the nvram block (see cat /proc/mtd)). I only found this out after watching the plkw binary via serial & by chance running "plnvram list" which makes the running plkw (not plnvram) print out it's current config.
The values set are
Code:
rd = read
/bin # plnvram rd username
username = http://foo.com
/bin # plnvram rd password
password = ONETWO

I'm not sure what you mean via telnet. you connect the pins to your ttl/uart serial converter (I used this one) & which drops into sh on tty0.

To be fair, I actually don't really understand what you did here exactly. I don't have an uart usb adapter handy to try. But it brought me some (a lot actually) random pieces of understanding
I am unable to make it list out plnvram contents, only rd exact variables. I found a lot of those in plnvram_default.dat, but those appear to be useless. They are the values stored by the web interface and have nothing to do with ShareView settings, or how the box encodes the stream when its button is pressed. What I really want to find, is what variable names are used for ShareView settings (other than password, username, which are the places I can put RTMP link into).
ShareView has two dropboxes "Outputsize" and "bitrate", which I assume generates a quite few lines to plnvram that include exact encoding settings. Could you by any chance find where those fall into?

As I already said , the plkw binary handles communicating with the software & this is what sets everything up, streamurl, streamkey etc, it is also what does the streaming when triggered by the button or software, unfortunately I've yet to figure out how it actually triggers! When the software connects it sends the encode config (creates the hs_enc_ts.cfg file and client.cfg in /plbin). The plkw then launches the plstrm binary three times (no idea why as one is enough from what I've found).
The outputsize & bitrate are set in the hs_enc_ts.cfg.

I've attached a screenshot of how I got the plnvram config to output (COM8 = serial connection).
---
I've also managed to build a test "hello world" binary & have it run on the box, so I might be able to build a better rtmp server. I may have to rely on the plstrm to get the output though :/

Some good news.. I think. I managed to "decompile" the android "Shareview" app source code using javadecompilers.com With any luck I should be able to figure it out!
If you're any good with java (I'm not) download the shareview apk from here: https://apkpure.com/shareview/com.asdfghjkl20203.hs602player/download?from=details.
And upload it to http://www.javadecompilers.com/.

I'm also not, but I have a friend who does have some experience. Thanks for the idea.
The variable name thing threw me off, since it makes no sense to me, that it stores "password" and "username" straight to nvram, and the rest go through hs_enc_ts.cfg. I tried to manually change hs_enc_ts.cfg parameters, but they had no effect to the output stream, which is why I assumed, that it sends some other settings.
Could you save the whole putty printout somewhere? It does contain different parameters and variables than those in hs_enc_ts.cfg and plnvram_defaults.dat
