Mini0801 custom firmwares

GrahamH · Feb 2, 2014

Is there any firmware adjustment for wake up to record time. I am interested in trying to evaluate any means of a Parking Mode. Graham.

@ Tobi@s,

Good evening, would it be possible for you to run up a custom firmware using the following image as logo :

using your 20131230 firmware (NO GPS, EXTERNAL CARD) from here: http://dc.p-mc.eu/?page=mini0801.firmware

please ?

I realise that I should try using your Kitchen, but I don't feel at all confident about it, being what you might call a computer dummy.

Thanking you in advance, Tony.

Thank you very much

Hi guys I see some custom firmwares here referring to "no sound". Is it referring to no sound when you press the keys or something else?

I've deleted the original poweron and poweroff files, and created new empty files with the same names but 1000 bytes in size.
But these sizes are different cmpared with the original files, should I create the files with the same sizes like the original ones ?
Did I do the right steps ?
Also I see there are other two .pcm files :
13___poweron_12k_low.pcm
14___poweroff_12k_low.pcm

What is with these two ?

Also the logo should be in jpg format or other ?
And I see only a logo_off file, there is no other file there with "logo" ?

And the builded firmware is under sections/ folder , named fwcompiled.bin ?
Is this the file I need to put on the camera for upgrade ?
If yes it is something strange, because the original fw file had like 5 Megs but this one has like 33 Megs ..

Tobi@s · Feb 9, 2014

Hi, please don'T try to Flash the 33mb Firmware. something went wrong..
First question: Did you close the RomKitchen during any of the steps?

Next there seems to be another Problem:

Code:

08.02.2014  14:27           106.968 02___strings.bin
08.02.2014  14:27            28.260 04___no_thm.jpg

File ID 03 (logo.jpg) is missing. Which Firmware did you try to decompile?

Code:

C:\Jado\Kitchen\firmware\romfs>fsutil file createnew 07___poweron12k.pcm 1000
File C:\Jado\Kitchen\firmware\romfs\07___poweron12k.pcm is created

Wrong filename! You forgot the underscore ( _ )
Smaller filesize is not a Problem but to be on the safe side create one with the same filesize.

zepel1n · Feb 9, 2014

Hi Tobias,

The firmware I have decompiled is 20140115-GPS-1CARD.bin
Yes I've noticed the 03_logo file is missing , I''ll try one more time.

zepel1n · Feb 9, 2014

Ok I tried one more time:

I've followed these steps:

Code:

1. File -> Open
2. Export -> All
3. RomFS -> Export files
4. Modify files (wdir=[location where your fw binary is located]/rfs/)
Info: Keep the filename. Please don't rename the file. You'll get a semibricked device if you do.
Protip: Always save logos with Paint because it removes EXIF information.
5. RomFS -> Build RFS
6. RomFS -> Include in fwbuilder
7. Build -> A2 Firmware

And the creation of files (I've created all 4 power files - not sure if I did ok ? and both logo files ) my steps are bellow:

Code:

C:\Jado\Kitchen\firmware\romfs>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.

Ended up in sections/ folder with a fwcompile bin of 4963 KB , compared with the original which has 5062 KB.

And the logo file I've used is attached - this is the one I've replaced those 2 logo files.

What do you think ?

Do I need to do anything else ?
Is the fwcompile.bin the file I need to rename and put on the SD card and upgrade ?

Yes and everything seems ok

zepel1n · Feb 9, 2014

Thanks a lot Tobias !
I've already put it on my camera and it works

, now it powers up/down without any sound and with my custom Honda logo

Scott RC · Feb 9, 2014

Hi Tobi@s,
Could you please prepare a custom with 20140115 firmware with this attached Scotland flag below, with sound, with GPS, no internal memory for me and others too use if they so wish ?
