Running version 1669.45.40516... unable to mod?

I can't remember exactly where it was, but something like /bin/vtech or similar. The file is called Run_Once I believe. You can compare that file in your un-patched firmware to a modded one to find the difference in code.

Well I did edit the file for my own firmware to look similar to the firmware that's been edited, but it's still not functioning correctly I believe as flash games still aren't working (specifically that angry birds app since my kid is in love with that thing).

Maybe the 3s+ just isn't able to be modded now since that's the most current, highest grade tablet.

Well I've tried several things but without more information than to look at the file differences, there's not a whole lot I can really do to modify the firmware appropriately. If you could remember exactly what you changed in the prior firmwares I could meander about, but changing the few values I have hasn't bricked anything but it didn't do much except force the current .bin file to run over top what I had.

It is pretty simple to modify the firmware. You just have to remove the portion that blocks apps from being run on the SD card. In newer firmwares, you also have to put in code to remount the SD card as executable since they change it so the SD card is mounted with noexec. That one file is the only one you need to modify. Be sure to look at modified code in one of the newest firmwares to get the most up to date code modifications.

I have not played around with the 3s+ so I can't help you much further then that. I would assume the code is basically the same with minimal differences. You can always connect a Serial converter and get shell access to poke around and do some debugging.

That's the info I needed. I saw the switch for mounting the drive but I wasn't sure what it did. Thank you and i'll report back shortly.

Hello

you know now what we need to change in the backup?

I have the 3S too and have checked my unitEID and have maked a backup with the InnoTab_Backup.zip
So now i have sdcarda6_backup_03_07_2014_23_55_39.bin

And now?
I did not understand "Replace / edit the files you want"


my firmware on the 3S is 47.40527 (German Device)

[Deak Phreak]

You will have to upload the firmware somewhere and provide a link then wait for someone to patch it or attempt to patch it yourself

[RisingEdge]

ok fine. where I have to write the address(Link) down?


Edit:
Here is my Firmware Backup

So.. now i have unpacked the sdcarda6_backup_03_07_2014_23_55_39.bin with unsquashfs and have found the one file in /bin/vtech that is different.

Now i must do the changes in this file and make a new *.bin with mksquashfs and then i can flash it?

[Deak Phreak]

Yes, that sounds like the correct location, can't remember the filename. Just compare to another modified firmware with the closest firmware version possible and compare the differences. Save, run the command to squash it again and you should be good to flash.
