how to dump firmware from broadcom based modems
#8
ok, so I tried to modify the original code but it's not working, so if anyone who understands python could give me a hand, I´ll be really grateful

here's the original

Code:
from sys import argv
from math import ceil
from telnetlib import Telnet
from optparse import OptionParser, OptionGroup
from progressbar import ProgressBar
import re

TIMEOUT = 2
BLOCK_SIZE = 8192

class BrcmFirmwareDump:
    
    def __init__(self, ip, user, password, port=23):
        
        # Connect
        self.tn = Telnet(ip,port,TIMEOUT)
        # self.tn.set_debuglevel(1)
        # workarround to avoid the connection getting stuck at option negociation
        self.tn.set_option_negotiation_callback(self.option_negociation)
        
        # Some old broadcom versions need any character
        # being send before prompting for the username
        while True:
            r = self.tn.read_until("ogin: ", TIMEOUT)
            if re.search("ogin:", r):
                break
            # Send a '\n'
            self.tn.write("\n")
        
        # Send the username
        self.tn.write(user+"\n")

        # Send the password
        self.tn.read_until("assword: ")
        self.tn.write(password+"\n")
        
        # Get the first prompt
        r = self.tn.read_until("> ")
        
        # Log in as root if necessary
        if re.search("Console", r):
            self.tn.write("su\n")
            self.tn.read_until("assword:  () []")

    brcm_fw_dump.close()

There are some differences in commands syntax and procedure, so I´ll explain:

1. the path in the original is "CM\Flash", needs to be "Console\system" - so I changed that

2. the command in the original was "read 4 64 0"
which means Reading 64 bytes as 4-byte entities, starting at an offset of 0
needs to be: "diag readmem -s 1 -n 16384 0x80000000"
I don't now what the -s 1 does
-n 16384 -> block size
0x800000000 -> offset in hex, so that needs to be changed. I tried, but I don't know if it worked "offset = hex(block*BLOCK_SIZE)"

3. in the original, you have to open the image first with the command "open image" - there's no need for that, so I initally commented out the parts where it appeared but it didn't work, so I removed the # (it didn't work either hehe)

4. the original is meant to download just the firmware, so it has a limiting size feature:
total_size = int(payload_size_hex,16) + int("0x5c",16)
where 0x5c is the starting position and total size is 0x1c0fbc (1,839,036 bytes), tho I could not understand how the total size is calculated and i don't know exactly what I should do to dump the whole thing.

5. since there's an 'open image' command, there's also a 'close image' too and I think this will not be needed.

I know it's logging on to the telnet cause I checked the log of the modem, but it freezes just after I hit enter and does not show any error message, so I don't know exactly what's going on.
