[Tutorial] Porting the ELFPack |The Real PortKit| by NiKSY

All questions on porting the ElfPack - HERE

For succesfull portation you need:
1. ADS ;for compilation. -[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
2. PortKit_v1_0 + updates ;for portation -[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
3. Bin Editor ;for cutting the empty bytes [You can use [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - its free]
4. R?flash ; the CG1 of the firmware youre using (withouth the empty bytes on the end)
5. FB v3.06 ; for applying the patches
6. resman5.4pro ;not neccesary
7. Clean head and steady hands ,\'-}

So here we go....


.1 Make folder "PortKit" on disk "C:\" ;you can make it anywhere but this is the easiest way


.2 Extract files from archives ADS and PortKit_v1_0 into folder "C:\PortKit"


[size=10pt]Before you start PortKit you should replace the libgen with a newer one, I recommend [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.](its updated regularly) [/size]
You should copy the libgen content into C:\PortKit\libgen folder


.2.1 Folder "arm" copy to root "C:\" ;thats the way it must be!


.2.1 Now! Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environment Variables/System Variables/ - Path - add ";C:\PortKit" (I say again, C:\PortKit is the easiest place)


.3 Further settings:
C:\PortKit\obj\sysinfo.c ; open with NotePad and set for your phone, example for E398:

Code:

const char n_phone[]    = "E398";
const char n_platform[] = "LTE";
const char n_majorfw[]  = "R373";
const char n_minorfw[]  = "42R";

.4 Next:
C:\PortKit\make.cmd ; open with NotePad and look:

Code:

@echo off
rem The target platform, change this to yours (LTE | LTE2 | V3i)
set PLATFORM=NONE

=> instead of NONE enter platform of your phone:

Code:

(LTE | LTE2 | V3i)

.5 Now we need that reflash, actually the CG1.smg in folder "C:\PortKit" (extract it from reflash with SHX Codec)


.6 Rename CG1.smg to CG1.bin (or put the whole name of the firmware, important is to change the format to .BIN) ;


.7 Next, we make a new text document and put in it:

Code:

make.cmd CG1.bin

.8 Save it in PortKit folder and name it run.bat (not run.bat.txt but run.bat)


.9 Double click run.bat ; If you did everything correctly you will get patches, elfloader, and Lib.o in build folder!

Hope you liked the tutorial, its mostly,but not completely, a translation of WhiteHotIce's tutorial from motofan


Cheers!

how about porting elf on drive a or c ? can we use this tutor to ?

Of course.

can you tell me how ?

Ok this is about making correct library for elfpack.
Do you have elfpack for 'a/c' or for 'b' only??

Are you DaR user, cos it is changing a lot of things?

apoligaze, my browser crash...
elfpack on a ??? i dont have that, i has test portkit on a/ by ritza_ll...
im facing to 49r now...

So you can use my elfloader from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Cos only patch is important, now just copy your elfs to /a/ or /c/ and add to auto.run.
I was using these patches: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] before Dar, try it.

ok now i has the elfpack... then...
