0xFFFF - Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher, version 0.9
Contents
Description
0xFFFF is Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher for Maemo devices. It support generating and unpacking FIASCO
images on local computer. Useful for editing Maemo firmware package for future flash. It support via USB
flashing any image type to Maemo device and also "cold" flashing which means flashing dead device with
erased bootloader. There is support for booting kernel via USB without flashing to NAND and also changing
configuration of Maemo device (enable/disable R&D mode, changing HW revision strings, ...).
0xFFFF is alternative tool to proprietary Nokia flasher-3.5 and fiasco-gen. 0xFFFF generate compatible
FIASCO images and also accept FIASCO images generated by Nokia fiasco-gen.
Device Configuration:
-I identify, show all information about device
-D0|1|2
change root device: 0 - flash, 1 - mmc, 2 - usb
-U0|1 disable/enable USB host mode
-R0|1 disable/enable R&D mode
-Fflags
change R&D flags, flags are comma separated list, can be empty
-Hrev change HW revision
-Nver change NOLO version string
-Kver change kernel version string
-Tver change initfs version string
-Sver change SW release version string
-Cver change content eMMC version string
