I've been working on trying understanding: how text is placed on screen, so I can workout how the menu's are driven thus be able to "configure" a hack. Part of that has been disassembling the code, finding the data sections (jpgs, overlays, fonts) and related data to control these.
This is an amazingly great news!!! Good job!!! Anyone knows if also the Nikon D90 is going to be hacked? I've tried to find and download A and B firmwares for D90, but i can't find them anywhere... Is there a way to dump them directly from the camera? Sorry for my english...
In my research, trying to find service tools for Nikon, the only tool I found was for D200 remapping dead pixels. Maybe someone find it useful: Page explaining the tool - http://www.potroshiteli.ru/Test/Dead_Pixel_D200.html
If this hack would open the way to decrypt D3100 and D5100, the first feature to hope for would be AF FINE TUNE for general af offset. Nikon af tolerance does no suite our needs. Fine tune presets for 20 lenses in D7000 is great thing, but those entry level users must send camera to Nikon to fix offset for one lens, and they often say it`s in tolerance. Got me frustrated with my D3100.
sorry but if someone speak french and could tell me if there is the hack for the nikon d7000, desole mais est ce que quelqu un peut me dire on sa en est , si on peut rever hacker le d7000
So which should we be looking at for decompiling, IDA 4.9 Free or 5.0 Free? So far I do not have any experience in assembly or machine code (have 5 years programming experience in higher level languages), but I'm willing to put some time into learning what I can if it would help this project.
Maybe when a "hack" is finally developed that can offer different bitrates, as well as others video centric features, the "hack" could be applied to any new Nikon DSLRs.
I also think that most of the guys working on the decrypting/hack firmware project besides yourself, are do so to more or less improve the photo centric side of the Nikon DSLR cameras not so much for video.
I know that the firmware has been decrypted , but I got the impression that Simeon and the others were a long ways off from locating which line or lines of code were associated with such things as could be useful in the D7000 such as increases in bitrates , live histograms and other video centric features. I am more than glad to be mistaken.
>due to the fact that they are still trying to understand the encrypted firmware coding, which is appears to be very difficult.
Your words sounds strange. Firmware is fully decrypted, tool is present to put back all changes and flash even. SO, now it is disassembly stage and to make it we need to fix few things and make FR Processor model running in IDA 5.0 Free.
