Wiki HomeTechnical Information about the GXP-2000 Firmware
Basically I started trying to reverse engineer the GXP2000 firmware, so that i could modify it and load hacked firmware onto my phones but first i had to work out how the boot55.bin and gxp2000.bin files were constructed... I decided to document it here so that others can contribute and learn. - SoloFlyer (Feb21/06)
Might be a good idea to create a project like rockbox to provide generic firmware for a range of phones.
0x00 - 0x0F
The First 16Bytes of every GXP-2000 firmware look like this in hex :)

The Filename is hard coded into the file starting at 0x10 and is padded with 00's. the 00's continue until 0x1EF in every file i have looked at
0x1F0 - ????
0x1F0 - 0x2D1 in 1.0.2.13 gxp200a.bin
0x1F0 - 0x32D in 1.0.2.13 boot55a.bin
There is another Unique string here.... followed by some sort of table of values i dont know what it is but i suspect its important...
