ROM Hack [LINUX+MAC] redTools - redNAND-emuNAND converter

[nastys]

Version 2.0​

redTools is a tool that converts an emuNAND backup to a redNAND backup and vice versa.
A redNAND backup is used to restore it to the SD card using programs that don't support redNAND directly. For example, if you want to setup the Palantine CFW, you need to format the emuNAND using the Gateway Launcher, backup your NAND or your emuNAND as usually, then convert the backup to a redNAND one and finally restore it using dd or Emunand Tool Max (BTW, I plan to support redNAND directly in this one since version 1.3, it features a new CFW Mode, which handles the conversion automatically ).
If you just want to backup/restore your redNAND, you don't need this. You only need this to switch between emuNAND and redNAND, or to decrypt the redNAND.

It can't be ported to Windows due to the lack of dd... sorry.

Changes:

2.0​

• Progress bar, code optimizations and Windows support (thanks to xerpi)

1.1​

• Removed file size check

Please give us a mac port

It already supports OS X, I just forgot to take a screenshot...

Version 1.1 released!

the tool make a .rnd file,,, why not the .bin? and why the other tools ask for root password and never ask it? is not more simple launch the program with sudo ./emunandtools?

I used a different extension to distinguish the two types of NAND, but it's actually a bin file. You can even rename it to .bin...

ETM should only ask for your password once.
If you want to run it without entering your password, run the following command in a terminal and log out:

sudo adduser $USER disk

redTools does not require root access, as it only converts a file.

You can make it compatible with Windows (and more platforms) by changing the runShellCommand("rm...") with QFile::remove or something similar, and the runShellCommand("dd...") with libc file I/O operations (open, write, read, etc).
In summary, you should get rid of runShellCommand.
I can help you if you wish, but it would be nice if you create a Git (on github for example) repository.

Other than that, it looks really good!

Alright, I'll create a GIT once I'm done adding "CFW Mode" to ETM

I created a repository for redTools and one for Emunand Tool Max.
If you think you can improve one of these programs, please send me a pull request

I've just sent you a pull request (try it before merging because I'm not sure if it works, but it should ).

EDIT: I've sent another commit adding a progressbar.

I tried converting emuNAND -> redNAND -> emuNAND but the file size and the md5sum are different...
But converting an emuNAND to a redNAND works fine (and faster ).
Also, you forgot to add your copyright at the top...

Oh yeah, I know what I did wrong, I'll update the pull request in a moment.

I forgot to mention that the indents should be like this:

{
-----{
----------{
----------}
-----}
}

not like this:

{
----------{
---------------{
---------------}
----------}
}

(if you press CTRL+I on Qt Creator, it corrects them...)

I've changed spaces to TABS (which is more widely accepted: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/CodingStyle) so you can change the TAB size to your preferred size, and there's no need to mess with spaces.
Just change TAB size to 2 or 4 on your editor, and it'll be fine.

Alright, I changed the indent size to 8 (tab size was already 8 )
Now auto-indent works fine

 

[nastys]

xerpi It works perfectly! Thanks a lot
I'm going to release the next version later today or tomorrow.
I'll build it for Windows too

 

[nastys]

Version 2.0 released for GNU/Linux, OS X and Windows
How do I change the title of the thread? I think I should replace [LINUX+MAC] with [RELEASE]...

people here palatine finally run after i have start it without L 1 time... after that ctrclient works good!
