dump_fw_bootrom.bin runs into LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT [-7] #6

DC4JG · 2018-01-11T19:39:19Z

When I run sudo exploit/sboot_exploit.py --shellcode shellcode/dump_fw_bootrom.bin -o 0xf1.bin

I get the following output:

WARNING:root:Cannot write buffer

I tried extending the TIMEOUT in odin.py to 10000 but no change.
Since I work on macOS High Sierra and use homebrew I also tried the whole process on a Linux ThinkPad but run into the same problem.

Output from lsusb:

Tried it on yet another Linux machine (ubuntu 16.04 LTS) but run into the same problem. Interestingly lsusb recognizes the device as Galaxy S2 in Download Mode despite same product and vendor ID and seemingly could not open it(?).

Output lsusb -v -d 04e8:685d

Some more observations:

my device is with and withouth prepared microSD card visible via lsusb
WARNING:root:Cannot write buffer does not always occur
extending the Timeout may result in more calls
DEBUG: Messages only show up on first run after device reboot and connect to computer

Another thing I did but have no idea if it has an impact:
I added a file /etc/udev/rules.d/42-galaxys3.rules with the following content: SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8",SYSFS{idProduct}=="685d",MODE="0666"
(Googled around and stumbled upon https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=901891 and decided to give it a try since I am stuck)

probably related to #1

Are you sure you boot into the right sboot? If the one on your phone is still functionally it seems there is no way to boot from a sd card

Try: exploit/sboot_exploit.py --dump -o sboot.bin and check the sha256sum of the dumped sboot
the needed XXELLA should have
47e0950cfac2e29556dfe6a6ce04d34731bcfb642ce9bc331aa99ddfa01aa694 sboot.bin

DC4JG · 2018-01-16T12:04:29Z

Not booting from microSD sounds like a good explanation and gives me new ideas to poke around. Great, thanks a lot! :)
The problem with sboot dumping is that i get another result each time:

original one from first try ever

d46204e89db359c6f7fc035aa6d3bd6f1911189b1a98ebff5a8eb0546e66e170  SBOOT

other dumps from just now

a15dd543b58d3084b38007c62228fc58d4d2d6436f025591aa605e581d4f55b6  sboot.bin
0b332a0b6948d16dd8e336298f2636b9537677efec362929e03e505acf37256f  sboot2.bin
8aa1eb264bf17dce6f2e279ed03974be057e3ccfe7b75c5e76a897d0cadff63f  sboot3.bin

And yes, the command yields the correct hash for the downloaded XXELLA sboot.bin ... so Apple ain't broke shasum

Now onwards to a closer look into #1 and more experiments while singing Funkytown with my eMMC \(^-^)/

oranav · 2018-01-16T15:16:35Z

This is due to the fact that I dump a part of the data segment as well. You'll never have matching hashes. Try running strings and grep for I9300, you'll see something like I9300XXELLA.

DC4JG · 2018-01-16T18:51:26Z

This explains a lot, things start to make sense now :]

strings did not gave me XXELLA but i found I9300XXUGNH4 (german 4.3 Jelly Bean firmware from 2014-08-18) finally i know which version to deal with, hooray!

Thus i need to change the addresses in shellcode/shellcode.h for the exploit to work or force my device into booting from microSD despite seemingly working sboot?

Also if i want to verify my sboot.bin i first need to split it from the data part of the dump before shasum-ing it?

oranav · 2018-04-08T21:48:36Z

Sorry for being absent for the past time! I just pushed a new version which should theoretically work on any sboot version. Please try it with XXUGNH4 and report.

Maybe helpful information: I have a 32GB model and never rooted it

oranav · 2018-07-10T20:38:11Z

@1342 Did you write firmware 0xf7?
Also, if you have never rooted it I'm guessing you don't have an EFS dump, and sadly this method will erase your device completely, therefore be advised that your baseband information (e.g. IMEI) will be erased.

DC4JG · 2018-07-10T21:40:24Z

I don't have 0xf7 so i wrote the 0xf1 i got from the device. I know about the EFS problem but since the device is considered 'dead' i appreciate a working device without baseband :)

As far as i understand the procedure i am now stuck at step 5.

DC4JG · 2018-07-11T18:32:34Z

Retried with 0xF7.bin

booted into download mode
run step 3
device rebooted and was still visible under lsusb
run step 5 and got the same error code -19
