eimgfs is a tool for creating, decoding, viewing and modifying Windows CE firmware images.
I am re-releasing it here on github. Originally this was posted as part of the itsutils package on xda-developers.
These formats are supported:
To be able to compress/decompress files it must either run on windows, or as a 32bit binary on osx.
This used to be part of the itsutils distribution.
I started developing this tool as dumprom in 2003 for xda-developers.
Later converted to perl. And Later again, when WindowsCE started
using the imgfs filesystem, converted to c++, now named eimgfs. Which stads for 'Edit imgfs'.
Several older tools with similar functionality: dumpxip.pl, makexip.pl, editimgfs.pl.
Usage: editimgfs imgfile [operations]You can specify as many operations as needed.
main options:
| option | arguments | description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| -v | verbose | ||
| -r | readonly | ||
| -d path | where to save extrated files to | ||
| -s SIZE | specify totalsize ( for motorola FLASH ) | ||
| -extractall | extract all to '-d' path | ||
| -list | list all files | ||
| -info | list available readers/filesystems | ||
| -filter | <EXE | SIGNED> | only exe or signed binaries |
| -resign | update nbh sigs after modifications | ||
| -keyfile | KeyFile | nbh key file | |
| -extractnbh | extract SPL/IPL/OS images from nbh |
READER operations:
| option | arguments | description | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -rd | RdName | specify reader to operate upon | ||||
| -saveas | Outfile | save entire rd section | ||||
| -getbytes | offset size Outfile | |||||
| -putbytes | offset size Infile | |||||
| -hexdump | offset size | |||||
| -chexdump | {XPR | XPH | LZX | XIP | ROM} offset size fullsize | dump compressed |
| -hexedit | offset bytes... |
FILESYSTEM operations:
| option | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|
| -fs | FsName | specify fs to operate upon |
| -add | RomName[=srcfile] ... | adds a list of files |
| you can also add all files from a directory | ||
| -del | RomName | |
| -ren | RomName=NEWNAME | |
| -extract | RomName=dstfile | |
| -fileinfo | RomName | print detailed info about file |
| -dirhexdump | for debugging |
An example, how i have used this tool:
eimgfs -s 0x10000000 therom.nb \
-fs imgfs -del delfiles -add files \
-fs xip23 -del delfiles-xip23 -add files-xip23 \
-fs xip20 -del delfiles-xip20 -add files-xip20This will alter therom.nb, increasing its maximum size to 256Mbyte, deleting files from the imgfs, xip20, xip23 partition
for the names found in the respective delfiles-... directories, and adding files from the files-... directories.
There are makefiles for OSX and Windows. Both depend on the presence of 32 bit libraries for boost and openssl.
Make sure the dlls from the dlls directory are somewhere in the search path. They are needed for decompression.
You can build eimgfs with OSX SDK up to version 10.13, version 10.14 no longer includes the 32 bit libraries needed.
Docker is supported. Multistage building is used. Stage run should be used for actual executing the application. Entrypoint is configured as well.
docker build --target run .
docker run -v /home/user/images:/app/data --rm -ti ef7b7abd7b4d -fs xip -fileinfo /app/data/FILENAMEOn linux, you may need to install g++-multilib and 32bit binaries for openssl.
