Last year Dreambox released OE2.0 software, the new upgrade also get many troubles for those clone boxes, however the e-star team released OE2.0 images.
I’m interested in the idea behind estar sim,so did some comparisons with some OE1.6 images, downloaded the bcm7405.ko from the board to compare them, however i found SIM210 and Ferrari put a “shell” in this driver file, after removed that protection, i found they used one same version driver. The estar driver does not have any shell.
For the new OE2.0 image, downloaded the squashfs driver image from estar box, and decompressed to compare the bcm7405.ko with the original driver, i only found several different data. i also compared the Enigma, it is same with the original Enigma, but when i finished upgrading online, boot failed, it’s a pity.
Estar website mentioned the random generator, they said its different from SIM210 and Ferrari, so i did another test, i modified the /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/SoftwareManager/SoftwareTools.py, changed the read_random() function, use several fixed 8 bytes data (random chosen), then e found the estar box could run this program without problem, however the other boxes showed green screen, failed, so this is true!
Anyone can do these comparisons, if you do not have their boxes, you can download the NFIs, then decompress the JFFS file system out, and mount it on your Linux PC, then you can access the file system.
