Eaxi show in IDA Pro, the name CPRS Only.

Which is available in almost All ROM Files

because CPRS is available in the ROM.bin file.

AIUI, the author of F3ROMExplorer (@E123) knows how to decompress the CPRS sections. I don't.

I confess that I have identified various module names by referring to the work of others, not through my own disassembly or SA log dumps.

BTW, newer firmware uses a different compression format, or at least a different signature, "LZMA":

Look, i think you are wrong at several points:
- nobody is able to figure out function and name of firmware objects without help of factory sw/info
- nobody is able to figure out VSCs without sniffing factory sw
- saying the above 2 several times not listening to others who replied to your topic.

In fact, what's the purpose of all those questions? It looks like you think you know the answer for all those and pay shit for other oppinions.
You praise BGman's answer because it seems to be about the same that you think about how things work.

100% perfect answer regerding that post.

But it is simply not true, and if you still want to think that way, it's up to you, but then, again, what is this thread for???
Do you want to find out something about the matter or just tell us your truth?

(FYI diag ovls are full of names just to name one thing, not even compressed, i wonder if you really never looked at those...)

Dear Pepe,

i not want to disappoint any one.

If some one says that there is a possibility to get VSC Command without a factory software. kindly show

i am ready to pay him for his effort to show VSC Commands find Method without Using an Analyzer Tool.

But only talk talk talk talk is not good.


i ask a simple question in the post. that from where VSC commands come?
Because as i know we extract them from factory software. May be i was wrong, that's why i ask

I get the answer from the Pro Already, after that post.




I know what names are in the ROM.

My basic question was , From Where people Get ATA Command.

If some one here, who can get VSC command without Factory software.

i am ready to pay him to buy the commands.

Did some one here show any thing ?

Every one is talking talking talking, writing long msgs.

where is the Solution for my VSC Command Question ?

if some one know how to get VSC command without Factory software, message me in private.

but i not Get message in my private box, or in the Post. which is use full.


No one show any thing about VSC Commands. Only talk talk talk, Where is solution of Getting VSC Command without Software ?



I showed my software photos here in the post. if i have the VSC, that why i show, and i proof my self that i have VSC, and i already mention that i copy from Factory Softwares



Regarding Names in the ROM.
I already uploaded the picture here in the post, that i know the names, and how to get. it was not in the ROM.bin file

If some one says that rom.bin have names Show with some proof atleast.

Here 1 person show only with CPRS, then i tell him to show RAP CAP SAP Names in the rom, then he says its encrypted.
i not ask him to show method. i just say him to simply show a picture or RAP CAP SAP in the ROM.bin file

Almost every one can Get that CPRS name by using any Hex Editor.




If some one not have the answer, simple is to not reply on the post.

So the post remain to the point.


Kind Regards
Waqas Ali

AIUI, @pepe is saying that there are no module names in the ROM, even after decompression.

you cannot find RAP, CAP etc strings in rom for two reasons: most of the rom code (bootfw) is compressed, and it does not contain such strings even after decompression.

The only reference to encryption is here:

Ok, indeed it depends on the fw being QNR or not, but most of the useful stuff is not in rom even if not QNR.

these useful services (T> J, 2> I, ..) interface to rom objects
and what's the difference that the names of these objects are defined outside of ROM?

nothing, but Ali wanted us to show those strings in ROM. To me it is more than demanding... this WHOEVER KNOWS TELL ME IMMEDIATELY OR KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT UP etc.

I think the question goes beyond the existence of references to RAP, CAP, SAP strings in the ROM. AIUI, there are no references to other sections such as Shell, etc, or am I wrong?

Hi Again

Here is the Brief about the ROM Sections

Here i Decompress ROM and assign the names Manually depends on there ID Number.

ROM Decompress.jpg
ROM Decompress.jpg [ 306.08 KiB | Viewed 8515 times ]



And after that here is the windows, where is ready for user.

TPM Picture.jpg
TPM Picture.jpg [ 385.62 KiB | Viewed 8518 times ]




So we Get the RAP CAP SAP ID from the ROM.bin
and by programming we Set the String Names to the ID.

As i do .

I hope now every one know that we cannot get Names without Factory info.

From ROM, we can decompress to get ID only, not the names.

i think eaxi says, that i can get the Names from ROM, and he show by IDA Pro the CPRS names,
But when i ask him RAP CAP SAP Names, he not reply any more.


if i am doing wrong to get those names, please Correct me, so i can do it more good way , and add in my Software.

here is the ROM file which i used to show RAP CAP SAP names and id , for Example only

names and even id do not matter.

Dear Ali,
You have great difficulties with understanding English. This is not my native language also, as readers can easily conclude :), but I hope my posts are understandable, on contrary to yours.
You wrote:
"i think eaxi says, that i can get the Names from ROM"
You are completely wrong. I didnt' say, that there are text "names" of ROM modules in ROM. They arent'. :) ROM modules names can be extracted from p.e. factory logs, but you are unable to do it. You have just copied ROM modules names from public net resources and you didnt' make any your own reversing.
"and he show by IDA Pro the CPRS names"
I didnt' show any "CPRS names". What are "CPRS names" ??? You mean "CPRS" marker in compressed parts of ROM? It's not "CPRS name". It's a marker like "MZ" in exe, "PK" in zip, "Rar!" in rar, etc.
About IDA:
You uploaded an image of module which you extracted from flash-rom using F3ROMExplorer, asking what's its name. It has no name. There is no reason to give public name for part of low-level code, which is unusable apart. It's part of DL_CFW, loaded to [0], present in every ARM embedded code - interrupt table, interrupt service routines, etc.
You uploaded a file "ROM _Decompress.zip". Nothing is "decompressed" by you here. It's normal ROM, including compressed sections also, like DL_SFW. You didnt' decompress anything of it, so dont' call it "ROM _Decompress"... :)
You wrote "here is the Original TPM file"
It's not "TPM file". It's a part of factory log, present on many disks after normal factory disk initialization. It described Seagate's TPM file use, not TPM written or owned by you.
..
I suppose you try to get knowledge from others, p.e. how to download ROM by ATA. You hope people will share knowledge with you FOR FREE, and then you will use it in your "software".. FOR SALE. Really funny :)

ROM _Decompress , this is original rom, which i open i my srs software to show rap cap sap


Are you serious, can't you see my software there, i open in my software SRS, not in F3ROMExplorer


I de-compres the ROM in SRS, to show all things, and in SRS i show in RAP CAP SAP Copy 0

If you don't even know about TPM files please don't say thing about that.

i know that at your point the TPM files looks like this,

TPM Text for ROM Write.txt [12.6 KiB]
Downloaded 311 times




i think you not saw the pictures which i uploaded with that Decompress ROM. you just take the ROM. open and check, Off course its the original rom.

my own research is enough to add in my software.


Small Video for Sir Eaxi

"You uploaded an image of module which you extracted from flash-rom using F3ROMExplorer, asking what's its name."

There is nothing extracted from F3rom Explorer.
I my point of view, you are using F3ROMExplorer too much times. that's why you think that every thing is from F3 ROM Explorer

Kindly Watch the Video.

i hope you will understand.

Kind Regards

@waqas_ali766, I watched your video (nice!), but I still don't understand why you are claiming to have decompressed the ROM. AFAICT, you don't need to decompress the ROM to do any of the things that you have demonstrated.

Would you mind uploading your tool's decompressed versions of the various CPRS sections? I know how to decompress WD's ROM modules, but I confess that I don't know how to do the same for Seagate's.

BTW, can your tool patch the ROM in the way that PC3K does (to defeat the terminal lock)?
