[TOOL] Huawei Update Extractor [UPDATED: v0.9.7.2]

Huawei Update Extractor

After messing around a bit with the perl tools available for extracting Huawei update.app files,
i got the idea to create an own (windows) tool.

Requirements

.Net Framework 3.5

Install

Extract the content of the zip to a folder somewhere on your system.
Execute HuaweiUpdateExtractor.exe
I'm planning to create an installer sometime.

Usage

Press the browse (...) button and select an update.app file. Select a device or unknown and press on the open button.
You'll see the content of the update.app file in the listview.

Select one or more files and right click. Choose Extract selected from the context menu.
Choose the ouput folder and press ok.
Or just right click on the list and select Extract all, choose the output folder again and press ok.
Press close on the extract window.

You can sort the list on sequence, filename and size. Just press on the desired column header.

Command line:

Profile

The profiles.xml file is used to identify the files in the update.app file. Every file in the update.app has a sequence or type, which is also
shown in the list. Those sequences or types are used to identify the file/device partition.

Example:

<Profiles>
<Profile name="Unknown" author="worstenbrood">
<Files/>
</Profile>
<Profile name="Huawei G510-0100" author="worstenbrood">
<Files>
<File sequence="00000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p17">system.img</File>
<File sequence="40000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p13">recovery.img</File>
<File sequence="80000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p03">baseband.img</File>
<File sequence="EC000000">version.txt</File>
<File sequence="E4000000">splash.raw565</File>
<File sequence="FC000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p12">boot.img</File>
<File sequence="70000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p16">cust.img</File>
<File sequence="30000000" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p18">userdata.img</File>
<File sequence="FE000000" signature="true">signature</File>
<File sequence="FF000000" checksum="true">crc</File>
</Files>
</Profile>
<Profile name="Huawei P6" author="worstenbrood">
<Files>
<File type="system" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p16">system.img</File>
<File type="cache" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p17">cache.img</File>
<File type="cust" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p18">cust.img</File>
<File type="userdata" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p19">userdata.img</File>
<File type="modemimage" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p13">modemimage.img</File>
<File type="boot" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p12">boot.img</File>
<File type="recovery" partition="/dev/block/mmcblk0p11">recovery.img</File>
<File type="md5rsa" signature="true">signature</File>
<File type="crc" checksum="true">crc</File>
</Files>
</Profile>
</Profiles>

<Profiles>
- Root tag of the xml file.

<Profile>
- Identifies a device
- attribute name: name of the device
- attribute author: author of the device

<Files>
- File root tag

<File>
- Identifies a file
- attribute sequence: sequence of the file in update.app
- attribute type: type of the file in the update.app
- attribute partition: destination partition on the device
- attribute signature: used to identify the signature file
- attribute checksum: used to identify the checksum file
- value: file name

You can add or edit devices. If you want them to integrate in newer version, pm 'em to me.
I'm gonna make some auto update for the device file somewhere in the future :)

Roadmap

- Next version will have repack function, need to do some ui adjustements
- You tell me ...
