Talk:IDA Pro Setup

prereqs.: IDA Pro Advanced, baseband files

wanted: Howto load these files correctly into IDA

Anybody to give this information here? TIA -caique2001-

into ida

I suggest you look more into IDA Pro, see how things work. you may not be ready for a baseband yet.

the most important thing you need is the address. for example, i knew the iBoot was at 0x18000000 because at the beginning there is a routine to look if it is there and relocate it if not. also it has many references to 0x1800000 throughout the file.

Here are some key combinations to use: c = turn the 'gibberish' into code d = turn the 'gibberish' into data a = turn the 'gibberish' into a string u = undefine what you just may have done, i usually use this since there is no real edit+undo in IDA so this is the next best thing Alt+G = change the 0 to a 1 to switch to thumb mode when needed

really i feel that you should do some more research on ARM and IDA Pro because a wiki article would not be enough to fully explain it

re: into ida

I roughly know how ida works and what the keys are. I think there are some people that have already setup the right values for reversing the baseband. So what I want to see here is just a quick intro to set up the project (segments, fileoffsets, changed options, entry points and so on), not how to use ida. This should almost fit into your article above, just counting words ;-)

Yea, but if you don't understand how to get those numbers, you'll be pretty useless as a reverser. Not to discourage, but the numbers really aren't that hard to get. Look at the memory map I posted. All the information you need is here. ~geohot
