0xFFFF 0.5 released

[Pali Rohár]

Hello all Maemo developers!

Now after 4 years new version 0.5 of Open Free Fiasco Firmware
Flasher 0xFFFF was released. It is only bug fix release which
fixing generating and unpacking Fiasco images used on Nokia N900.

Download page: http://nopcode.org/0xFFFF/?p=down

Now I'm rewriting 0xFFFF source code for better Fiasco image
support, future protocol support (cold flashing, eMMC flashing).
When it is finished it will be full replacement for proprietary
i386 Nokia flasher-3.5.

Development source code: https://github.com/radare/0xFFFF

Good to see 0xFFFF still being developed! Do you have plans to add
support for N9 as well? Not sure how much effort is needed.

Hi, I do not have N9, so I cannot test and create needed code.

But, NOLO protocol seems to be same for all devices (770-N900)
and I think it is still same on N9. And N900 using Mk II protocol
(Not NOLO) for flashing eMMC and this protocol is used on N9/N950
for flashing other parts. Mk II is not implemented yet, but some
my RE documentation is already in git tree.

https://github.com/radare/0xFFFF/blob/master/doc/mkii

So when eMMC flashing for N900 will be implemented, somebody can
look at code and add needed parts for N9...

Note that restriction for N9/N950 downgrade is implemented in
bootloader, not in flasher!

Hello, I need dumps from flashing via original flasher-3.5
application. I need to see different control messages which are
used to initialising nolo flashing.

I created small ld preload library which print control messages
to standard output.
