.: E900 Patch Creation :.

This guide explains how to fully create you own patch. Steps 1-2 are only needed once to convert the .s3 firmware into a .bin. Steps 4-5 are just shown to find the address of the sounds and images tables. You don't need to do these each time you create a patch and use can just enter the table addresses (for reference 0x20A45E70 for images and 0x20C8BF74 for sounds).

Note: The Samsung Firmware Editor does not currently support the Samsung E900, therefore creating custom picture patches does not work correctly. For this reason I have not included details on how to do this in this guide. A new version of the Samsung Firmware Editor is expected out soon, and I will update the guide accordingly. Do not ask for a release date, as I don't know, but check the website http://editor.sgh.ru (Russian).

Installing these invalidates your warranty and has no guarantee to work. Installing these could permanently damage your phone, and I will not be held responsible for any damages causes to your PC or phone or data losses occurred.

  

 
  1. First you need to convert your .s3 firmware into a .bin file. Open the Samsung Firmware Editor and click on the 's3 Converter' tab. Then click 'Open s3' and select the firmware in .s3 format.


  2. Now click 'Convert to BIN'. This will take quite a while, as the resulting .bin file is quite large, usually around 665 MB, but only needs to be done once.


  3. Now that you have a .bin firmware file, click File -> Open Firmware
    4. and select the new .bin file. It will ask if 'You want to find all Resource tables'. Click No.


  4. This has now opened the new .bin file in the program and we now need to find the addresses of the sounds and/or images table. To do this, click the 'Firmware Profile Creator' tab and fill in the width and height with 240 and 320 as shown below:


  5. Click 'Start Search'. This may take some time but will fill in all data as below. This only has to be done once, the two important numbers to remember are the Images table and Sounds table.


  6. To find all the sounds in the firmware click the 'Sounds' tab and put the Sound's Table address (from the previous screenshot) into 'Table addr' text box. Click 'Read Sounds Table
    7. '. All the sounds in the firmware will appear in the list.


  7. To replace a sound, select the sound from the list on the left and browse for your own replacement mmf file in the File browser on the right. Click 'Replace Sound/Music to Selected file'. If your own mmf file is small enough to fit you can replace it. Replacing with sounds larger than the space available can corrupt your firmware, but a message box will appear warning that your mmf file is too big.


  8. To create the patch with your new sound, go to the 's3 Converter' tab again and your sound should be in the list. Tick the box next to it and click 'Create s3 Patch'. You can also create a restore .s3 patch here, which will undo the changes of the patch.


  9. The newly created .s3 patch can now be installed using my patch installation guide.
