Request: How to patch the firmware – I'd like to contribute

[cyanogenic]

Hi,

Thank you for your great work on this project! It's really helpful!

Would you be willing to share the method or tools you used to apply the patch? I'd love to learn how it's done so I can also try patching the firmware myself and potentially contribute to the project.

Looking forward to your guidance. Thanks again!

Best regards

1. Unsquashfs rootfs
2. add telnetd in /etc/init.d/rcS
3. replace the mosquitto which support public port 1883
4. mksquashfs

I noticed that squashf has a 16-byte offset in the original root.bin. Do I need to keep the first 16 bytes consistent with the original root.bin when repacking the firmware?

[niceboygithub]

The first 16 bytes are important.

The first 16 bytes are important.

Can I just keep the first 16 bytes sane as the original root.bin ?

No, it contains the header, size, etc
