New subject: Fun with the MTK 6573 Baseband (Patching / Replacing)

13 Apr 2017

I don't have the files mentioned in that patch. They look very much like some part of
an Android source code tree. So far I am working mostly not with Android at all... only
osmocom-bb, nuttx, fernly and fernvale-nuttx.

My work on the newer MT chip in the ZTE Obsidian is a ways down the road. One thing that
was VERY encouraging is that I have tested the beginnings of interaction with it's
bootloader (as in the fernly project)
and it seems at least the initial MSG and ACK from the bootloader works the same as for
fernly types of MT chips (6260/6261). So that might be a good starting point in terms of
experimenting/fuzzing/???

Maybe you could find a custom rom source tree and find those files that are being
patched.

In terms of participating in my project, I have a github repo and am primarily using the
fernvale board I purchased from sysmocom as well as some mt6260/6261 based watches and the
Seeed Studio RePhone.

So I'd say go get one or more of those things and start hacking on fernly,
fernvale-nuttx, osmocom-bb and nuttx-bb (combo of osmocom-bb and nuttx).

I don't work too hard on the project. This branch is my latest not-working work in
progress:

https://github.com/craigcomstock/osmocom-bb/tree/feb-22-2017-mt62xx-wip

I have since changed my strategy and so this branch will likely rot. :( But it might give
some indication of what I'm up to.

 My target was Mt6735 in a Zte Obsidian. I chose it for
 4g lte. I could root one and see if similar techniques work.
 My hope was to leverage leaked source for mt626x and hope to
 work my way up the chip models. I am currently working on
 porting osmocom-bb
  and nuttx-bb to fernvale/rephone/mt626x.
