EZXCodec - editing of EZX-based cellphones' firmware in Windows environment

[Rocket]

Windows thinks that these are the shortcuts because of .lnk extension. But it's not valid because of file's contents. Just open some *.lnk file from ezxcodec in notepad or similar - it's just a text.
For example:
Filename: /bin/bash.lnk
Contents: ash
It means that in CramFS there is a symlink /bin/bash (no extension), that links to /bin/ash
Path can be absolute too. E.g. you could type /bin/ash in the same file for the very same result.

thanks! so symbolic link canbe create and copy by manual text editor.

I'm trying to mod an existing firmware (add my own font and change the 2nd default theme), but i can't get the files to compile into a new sbf.

I've read the readme and I'm still stuck.

This is what I do:

1. Make working directory
2. Select existing firmware (desktop)
3. Click extract
4. Go into working directory and replace files
5. Go back to ezxcodec and select new sbf file by clicking [...] and then typing new file name (tracksol_custom.sbf)
6. Click compile

EZXcodec compiles firmware. But when I extract my new firmware, the contents are the same as the original sbf.

Am I missing a step?

Thank you.

@TrackSol
you need to check new CG box near compile button.

@eakrin
I checked the "New CG's" box near the compile button and still all that was compiled was the original firmware.

I also tried without the box checked in case you meant "uncheck", but that didn't work either.

[eakrin]

sorry I didn't read carefully.

I think you forgot to compile your new CG. Did you do that before compile sbf file?

[TrackSol]

@eakrin
No I did not compile new CG. How do I do that?

[eakrin]

EzxCodec have 4 or 5 tap page. first tab is for extract/compile sbf file. second is for cramfd file. you should used 2nd tap to extract/compile cg that extract from 1st tap.

SBF -> CramFS (smg) -> Files

let try again.

[TrackSol]

Thanks, I'll try that next.
