***** Update firmware (cold) ***** For K-7 other models other names.

KB474.bin for DSP only (no encripted). KB474C.bin for CPU only (no encripted). KB474B.bin for both, DSP and CPU (no encripted).

Howto: put any file in SD card c:\ . with card tape open, the machine On or off it is equal. Insert the SD.Then remove the SDcard for updating. Note: can not use the extracted files with the command StoreCpu, StoreDSP of debug menu, because these files contain parts as kb474.adj, kb474cam.log, kb474cpu.adj ... and breaks the firmware check (it is possible to bypass). You can only use the original firmwares files are not modified.

***** Update firmware (hot) ***** For K-7 other models other names. This method you know it all, is the normal firmware update.

FWDC204D.bin for DSP only (encripted). FWDC204C.bin for CPU only (encripted). FWDC204B.bin for both, DSP and CPU (encripted).

Note: can not use the extracted files with the command StoreCpu, StoreDSP of debug menu, because these files contain parts as kb474.adj, kb474cam.log, kb474cpu.adj ... and breaks the firmware check (it is possible to bypass). You can only use the original firmwares files are not modified.

***** Bypassing the check of firmware in hot and cold update. *****

You only need modiffy the headers, DSP and CPU.

Example: This is the DSP header of firmware 1.12 of Pentax K-7

The check of the firmware is the last 4 bytes, 98 EA 26 3D, only need to replace the 4 bytes per FF FF FF FF.

Hello, I wanted to revive the forum with the intention to progress more in the Hack of the pentax.

All this came the need of a friend downgrade a firmware 1.13 to 1.12 In a Pentax K-5 by problems in focus with tungsten light.

I did some research with a Pentax K-7 and its firmware and discovered several things.
But the most important and which I think is the cause of the hack of the pentax has not been made possible, I have managed to introduce several ways firmware modified.
I'm pretty sure that works in K5, Kx and Kr as well, but I dare say that in older models K30 and also the future work.

I want people who have contributed much in this thread, as TR13, Das Boot, zezo, etc ... to renew their illusions. Publish their progress.

The first thing you would need is a good disassembly of any of these models (very similar).
I have Ida Pro 5.5, but my knowledge of assembler are rather poor and I can not get to disassemble the code well.

If I can today, will try to test this in a K-5.

I leave you a snapshot of a small text change in the firmware of a K7, which is the model that has left me a friend.
