Why I Created It

The motivation for creating this tool stemmed from my personal experiences with the original Firmware Mod Kit (FMK). Despite its potential, the original FMK often failed to work for me due to various compatibility issues.

In my quest for a solution, I discovered a reliable Docker image from the repository bnzm5270/firmware-mod-kit. This image worked well initially and served as a valuable reference point.

To ensure greater stability and control, I decided to adapt and copy the Docker setup to my own Docker account. This adaptation was crucial in creating a more reliable and user-friendly tool.

I deeply appreciate the original work done by bnzm5270, which laid the foundation for this project. Without their contributions, this tool would not have been possible. 🙏

Dependencies

This project relies on Docker for firmware extraction. Install Docker based on your operating system:

Ubuntu

sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

macOS

Download and install Docker Desktop from the Docker website.

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S docker
sudo systemctl start docker
sudo systemctl enable docker

Installation

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/N1nEmAn/firmware-mod-kit-fast.git
cd firmware-mod-kit-fast

Run the installation script

To install the fmk tool to /usr/bin, run:
```
./install.sh
```
This will create a fmk command for easy use.

Usage

Extract firmware

The first time Docker is used, it may take some time to download the required Docker image. Once downloaded, firmware extraction will be faster. Use the following command to extract firmware:

fmk example_DIR_815

Here, example_DIR_815 should be replaced with the actual firmware path.

Debug Mode

To enable debugging output, use the -d flag. This will provide detailed logs and help troubleshoot any issues:

fmk -d example_DIR_815

Note: If the fmk command fails, try running it with sudo:

sudo fmk example_DIR_815

Example

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/N1nEmAn/firmware-mod-kit-fast.git
cd firmware-mod-kit-fast

# Run the installation script
./install.sh

# Extract firmware
fmk example_DIR_815

# Extract firmware with debugging output
fmk -d example_DIR_815
