MPack - M8 Visual kitchen

This is an Quick kitchen used for replace n add/delete files in M8's xip.bin.
This kitchen is project based.
First you build an project by analysing an exists stock xip, then you can build your only firmware in few minuts.
eg, you can input default.hv in filter, then double click it, navigate to HLM\Software\Settings\Display\main\03 -> modify flag to 30003, and build one custom xip with Wifi default enabled.

you can clone souce via git:
git clone http://git.gitorious.org/mpack/mpack.git
or you can browse code online at

use Download master as tar.gz to get an dirty snapshot sourcecode.

modules in M8's xip have base relocation table stripped by default.
so if you have an exe/dll stored in xip as module, you only can extract original one by MPack n modify code in it then replace back, I'll refuse to continue xip generation if I found sizeofimage/section count large than original one. but you can use add instead replace, then click Ignore make original one inaccessable, your new dll/exe will store as file, so the new dll with reloc table should work.
I'll add special rebase support later to enable replace resource only module and other smaller sizeofimage or only plus relocation section size from PlatformBuilder/etc.

It seems Settings application make a Codepage change instead MUI current lang.
If you add some files to M8 device n modify registry to get an Dutch interface, add the same file to firmware with same modifications on registry must work fine.
I'll release a brief english overview manual/flash demo after I finish registry insert / deletion function.
by the way,
Is the upload system conflict with my IE7 or I havn't enough storage space?
I can't upload 4.7M size rar or 15kb screen shot attachments.

I really really love your MPack, many many thanks!
Because i am so happy that this is not a Chinese program

Question: What is up with some functions that doesn't seems to be working? Are you still working on it?

At the moment i am creating a Dutch firmware

MPack use a MPack_chs.qm for Chinese interface, if you place a translated MPack_deu.qm (by Sisulizer or Qt Linguist) in Lanague folders and your region settings setup to German, you'll get a Dutch one.
All menu related to workspace customize takes no effects now. It will added after PE resource parser working fine.
most function for firmware seems worked.
If you failed to create a booting firmware, please send your files to me, I'll check what's wrong with it.

No, no need to send you files.
Because of you i have working Dutch firmware at the moment
I have used the build-in registry editor and i swapped the mui files with the English files

Thank you sooooooooo much!

Download link is broken, can anybody upload it please? Thanks!

this link should still be active, it also contains needed tools for android.
or you could use this link to mpack tool alone..

goodluck ;-)
ps the links are still mentionend in the android - wiki

replaced with new link.
It's a static link version, may have better compatiable. (cereg400.dll required vc 2005 runtime library in previous release).
this version can extract single layout xip like emulator's nk.bin.

Good to see you here banxian! Do you own an M9 too?

No, I still use my M8 SE.
I am currently self-employed and develop for symbian, brewmp, bada to get 10%~15% profit-sharing for foods.

I am waiting for jwong start upgrade from M8 FE to M9 plan.

Since this month I start write game for iphone, I hope it can help me to get some free time to port mpack(atleast litexipbuilder) to Linux. surely because M9 have same resolution to iphone, I will consider to publish M9 version of my game.
