Tools for extracting, modding and re-packaging firmwares of DJI multirotor drones.
The project started as an alternative implementation of the parser from phantom-licensecheck. Over time it has grown to support many generations of DJI products. It consists of tools which allow not only extraction, but also re-packing of the previously extracted modules back into single file. There are also tools which are supposed to be used on specific modules to extract and allow modification of their content.
Here are a few of possible uses of the tools.
Replacing some components of the drone may require calibration. The tools are capable of triggering calibration in some devices, mostly gimbals with Hall sensors.
It is also possible to use them to send any custom packet to the drone, and this way trigger factory functions like calibration or pairing - as long as you know how the packet should look like.
The wiki of this project has tons of information about boards within each drone, and components on each board. This info is created and shared by many enthusiasts and repair technicians.
The tools can be used as command line version of DJI Assistant software, which also allows to change parameters for platforms which lacks such OEM software or where it has the advanced functions locked.
Flight Controllers from DJI define hunderds of parameters which affect their behavior. These can be modified by just sending a command to the drone, as long as the new value is within limits accepted by FC firmware.
The tools allow modifying firmware binaries, and then re-packing them back into flashable firmware package. This way, any software-controled functionality can be altered, including:
hardware pairing can be disabled,
allowed value ranges of parameters can be changed,
all hard-coded limits can be lifted or extended,
unused hardware features can be enabled,
additional devices can be added and integrated to the drone,
anything you can imagine, as long as you're capable of implementing the change.
It may sometimes require additional knowledge and software modifications (ie. rooting the drone) to flash modified firmware - some firmware packages are signed using asymmetric cryptography, and private keys are rarely available.
If you're interested in DJI hardware and software, this is the place to start learning. You can:
capture and analyze communication between modules within the drone and RC to figure out what specific hardware and software does,
use the wiki to compare hardware and software between platforms, or to analyze boards on component level before opening your drone,
extract firmware update packages to analyze and compare binaries executed by each programmable chip within the drone,
analyze a specific binary from firmware, for example by converting it to ELF and using disassembler to look at the content, applying symbols for easier understanding of what the code does,
find security vulnerabilities within firmware binaries and communication protocols,
compare firmware binaries between FW package versions,
parse flight logs generated by the drones,
get some basic knowledge to not act stupid when interacting with community of modders or researchers.
Such instruction will not be provided. These tools are for engineers with vast hardware and software knowledge. You need to know what you're doing to achieve anything with these tools.
This is to make sure the tools won't be used by script kiddies to disable security mechanisms and to allow breaking local laws.
If you can't understand how the tools work, you should not use them. If any warnings are shown, you must investigate the cause to make sure final firmware will not be damaged. You are using the tools on your own risk.
If you don't know where to start, check the tests. They will provide you with command lines to communicate to the drone, or to extract all the layers of a specific firmware (as long as you can place it correctly).
Since all the tools are available in source code form, it is easy to check details on the structure and protocols processed by these tools by looking at their source. The source code is intended to also act as a format documentation.
For higher level and more hardware related info, check the project Wiki.
The tools can be divided into two categories:
Hardware-independent tools - Those for which you do not need to have any DJI product to use. You just need an input file they use, like DJI Firmware Package or DAT Log file.
Product Communication tools - You need to connect your drone to a PC in order to use these tools in any meaningful way. Currently the tools use serial interface (UART) and I2C.
Below the specific tools are described in short. Running them without parameters will give you details on supported commands in each of them.
To get specifics about command line arguments of each tool, run them with --help option. Some tools also have additional remarks in their headers - try viewing them.
DJI Firmware xV4 Container tool; allows extracting modules from package file which starts with xV4, or creating container by merging firmware modules. Use this tool first, to extract the BIN file downloaded from DJI, as long as the file starts with xV4.
Example of extracting modules from DJI firmware package for Phantom 3 Pro:
./dji_xv4_fwcon.py -vv -x -p P3X_FW_V01.08.0080.bin
DJI Firmware IMaH Un-signer and Decryptor tool; allows to decrypt and un-sign module from .sig file which starts with IM*H. Use this tool after untarring single modules from a firmware package, to decrypt its content. The tool can also re-sign a module, as long as private part of the chosen key is available.
Keys used for encryption and authentication were changing over time; when an IM*H file refers to a key for which the tool has several versions, it will display a list of possible keys in a warning message, and select the most recent key for current operation.
Example of un-signing Camera firmware for Mavic Pro:
./dji_imah_fwsig.py -vv -k PRAK-2017-01 -k PUEK-2017-07 -u -i wm220_0101_v02.00.55.69_20161215.pro.fw.sig
Example of un-signing FC firmware for Phantom 4 Pro V2:
./dji_imah_fwsig.py -vv -k PRAK-2017-01 -k PUEK-2017-07 -u -i wm335_0306_v03.03.04.10_20180429.pro.fw.sig
Example of signing previously un-signed FC firmware for Mini 2 (requires PRAK with private part):
./dji_imah_fwsig.py -vv -k PRAK-2019-09 -s -i wm161_0306_v03.04.09.74_20210112.pro.fw.sig
For more examples of usage of the tool, as well as identifiers of keys for specific platforms, read the script used for testing it: tests/test_dji_imah_fwsig_rebin1.sh.
DJI Mavic Flight Controller Firmware Decryptor tool; removes second layer encryption in Flight Controller firmware modules from several DJI products released around the same period: Mavic Pro, Spark, Inspire 2 and Phantom 4. Does not accept IM*H format - requires input files with first level encryption already removed.
Example of decrypting FC firmware for Mavic Pro:
./dji_mvfc_fwpak.py dec -i wm220_0306_v03.02.40.11_20170918.pro.fw
Ambarella A7/A9 firmware pack tool; allows extracting partitions from the firmware, or merging them back. Use this to extract Ambarella firmware from files created after DJI Container is extracted. You can recognize the Ambarella firmware by a lot of "Amba" strings within, or by a 32-char zero-padded string at the beginning of the file.
Example of extracting partitions from Ambarella firmware for Phantom 3 Pro:
./amba_fwpak.py -vv -x -m P3X_FW_V01.08.0080_m0100.bin
Ambarella A7/A9 firmware ROMFS filesystem tool; allows extracting single files from ROMFS filesystem file, or rebuilding filesystem from the single files. Use this after the Ambarella firmware is extracted. You can recognize ROMFS partitions by file names near beginning of the file, surrounded by blocks of 0xff filled bytes.
Example of extracting ROMFS partition from Ambarella firmware for Phantom 3 Pro:
./amba_romfs.py -vv -x -p P3X_FW_V01.08.0080_m0100_part_rom_fw.a9s
Linux script for mounting UBIFS partition from the Ambarella firmware. After mounting, the files can be copied or modified. Use this after the Ambarella firmware is extracted. The file containing UBIFS can be easily recognized by UBI# at the beginning of the file.
Example of mounting Root Filesystem partition from Ambarella firmware for Phantom 3 Pro:
sudo ./amba_ubifs.sh P3X_FW_V01.08.0080_m0100_part_rfs.a9s
Tool which wrapps binary executable ARM images with ELF header. If a firmware contains binary image of executable file, this tool can rebuild ELF header for it. The ELF format can be then easily disassembled, as most debuggers can read ELF files. Note that using this tool on encrypted firmwares will not result in useable ELF.
Example of converting FC firmware for Phantom 3 to ELF:
./arm_bin2elf.py -vv -e -b 0x8020000 -l 0x6000000 -p P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0306.bin
The command above will cause the tool to try and detect where the border between code (.text) and data (.data) sections should be. This detection is not perfect, especially for binaries with no .ARM.exidx section between them. If .ARM.exidx exists in the binary, the tool can easily find it and divide binary data properly, treating .ARM.exidx as a separator between .text and .data.
In other words, position of the .ARM.exidx influences length of the .text section, and starting offset of the .data section. If there is no .ARM.exidx section in the file, it will still be used as separator, just with zero size. After first look at the disassembly, it is good to check where the correct border between .text and .data sections is located. Memory address of this location can be used to generate better ELF file.
Additional updates to the ELF after first look can include defining .bss sections. These sections represent uninitialized RAM and MMIO areasused by the binary. It is tempting to just define one big section which covers whole memory map address range according to programming guide of the chip, but that results in huge memory usage and related slowdowns while disassembling the file, while also making the file harder to navigate.
Note that all section offsets are defined using in-memory address, not the position within BIN file. If you have found proper location of a section within BIN file, remember to add base address to the file position before inserting to the command line of this tool.
Base address can be often found in programming guide of the specific chip; sometimes it may be shifted from that location, if the binary is loaded by an additional bootloader. In such cases the bootloader takes the location from documentation, and the real firmware binary is loaded at a bit higher base address.

This tool supports only conversion in direction of bin-to-elf. To convert an ELF file back to BIN (ie. after modifications), use objcopy utility for the specific architecture. The objcopy tool is a part of GNU Binary Utilities (binutils) and not a part of this repository.
Examples:
arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0100_part_sys.elf P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0100_part_sys.bin
arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O binary P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0900.elf P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0900.bin
Ambarella A7/A9 firmware "System Software" partition converter. The partition contains a binary image of executable file, and this tool wraps it with ELF header. The ELF format can be then easily disassembled, as most debuggers can read ELF files. This tool is very similar to arm_bin2elf.py, it is just pre-configured to specific firmware.
Example: ./amba_sys2elf.py -vv -e -l 0x6000000 -p P3X_FW_V01.08.0080_m0100_part_sys.a9s
All border adjusting rules explained for arm_bin2elf.py apply for this tool as well.
Optimized examples for specific firmwares:
./amba_sys2elf.py -vv -e -l 0x6000000 --section .ARM.exidx@0xEA83E4C:0 -p P3X_FW_V01.08.0080_m0100_part_sys.a9s
./amba_sys2elf.py -vv -e -l 0x6000000 --section .ARM.exidx@0xEA82EC0:0 -p P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0100_part_sys.a9s
./amba_sys2elf.py -vv -e -l 0x6000000 --section .ARM.exidx@0xEA64774:0 -p P3X_FW_V01.01.0008_m0100_part_sys.a9s
Ambarella A7/A9 firmware "System Software" partition hard-coded values editor.
The tool can parse Ambarella firmware SYS partition converted to ELF. It finds certain hard-coded values in the binary data, and allows exporting or importing them. Only setValue element in the exported JSON file is really changeable, all the other data is just informational.
Example of exporting hard-coded values to JSON file:
./amba_sys_hardcoder.py -vv -x --elffile P3X_FW_V01.08.0080_m0100_part_sys.elf
Example of importing values from JSON file back to ELF:
./amba_sys_hardcoder.py -vv -u --elffile P3X_FW_V01.08.0080_m0100_part_sys.elf
Dji DM3xx DaVinci encode_usb binary hard-coded values editor.
The tool can parse encode_usb ELF file from Dji Firmware module for TI DM3xx DaVinci Media Processor. It finds certain hard-coded values in the binary data, and allows exporting or importing them.
Example of exporting hard-coded values to JSON file:
./dm3xx_encode_usb_hardcoder.py -vv -x --elffile P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0800-encode_usb.elf
Example of importing values from JSON file back to ELF:
./dm3xx_encode_usb_hardcoder.py -vv -u --elffile P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0800-encode_usb.elf
Dji Lightbridge STM32 micro-controller binary hard-coded values editor.
The tool can parse Lightbridge MCU firmware converted to ELF. It finds certain hard-coded values in the binary data, and allows exporting or importing them.
Example of exporting hard-coded values to JSON file:
./lightbridge_stm32_hardcoder.py -vv -x --elffile P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0900.elf
Example of importing values from JSON file back to ELF:
./lightbridge_stm32_hardcoder.py -vv -u --elffile P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0900.elf
Dji Flight Controller firmware binary hard-coded values editor.
The tool can parse Flight Controller firmware converted to ELF. It finds certain hard-coded values in the binary data, and allows exporting or importing them.
Example of exporting hard-coded values to JSON file:
./dji_flyc_hardcoder.py -vvv -x -e P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0306.elf
Example of importing values from JSON file back to ELF:
./dji_flyc_hardcoder.py -vvv -u -e P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0306.elf
Flight Controller Firmware Parameters Array Editor finds an array of flight parameters within firmware binary, and allows to extract the parameters to a JSON format text file. This file can then easily be modified, and used to update binary firmware, changing attributes and limits of each parameter.
In order to find the Parameters Array, the tool needs base address used for loading the binary file into RAM of the micro-controller. If you don't know the base address to use, programming guide of the specific chip used may give you clues.
Example of extracting and then updating the flight controller parameters:
./dji_flyc_param_ed.py -vv -x -m P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0306.bin
./dji_flyc_param_ed.py -vv -u -m P3X_FW_V01.07.0060_m0306.bin

DJI Universal Packet Container stream pareser with pcap output format.
The script parses Raw DUML stream (ie. flight log files FLY???.DAT) and wraps single packets with PCap headers. Packets CRC is checked before the data is passed. Any tool with PCap format support can then be used to analyse the data (ie. Wireshark).
Example of converting flight log file:
./comm_dat2pcap.py -vv -d FLY002.DAT
DJI serial bus sniffer with DUML packetizer and PCap output format.
The script captures data from two UARTs and wraps single DUML packets with PCap headers. Packets CRC is checked before the data is passed to the PCap file or FIFO pipe. Any tool with pcap format support can then be used to analyse the data (ie. Wireshark).
The utility requires two serial interfaces with RX lines connected to RX and TX lines within the drone.
Example of starting the capture from two UART-to-TTL (aka FTDI) converters:
./comm_serial2pcap.py -b 115200 -F /tmp/wsf /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1
DUML Packet Builder with hex string output.
This tool can build a proper DUML packet containing given header fields and payload. The packet will be outputed in hexadecimal form. List of known commands and the look of expected payloads can be found in Wireshark dissectors described below.
Example of generating a packet to ask Spark camera module for its Sensor ID:
./comm_mkdupc.py --receiver_type=Camera --seq_num=65280 --ack_type=ACK_After_Exec --cmd_set=Camera --cmd_id=181
DUML Builder which sends packet to DJI product and receives a response.
This tool builds a proper DUML packet containing given header fields and payload. Then it sends it via given serial port and waits for response. It shows the returning packet upon receiving it.
It can be considered an alternative to dji_mb_ctrl binary which can be found in some drones. Parameter names are different between these two tools though.
Example of asking Flight Controller for hardware and firmware version data (tested on Ph3):
./comm_serialtalk.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 -vv --timeout=5000 --receiver_type=FlyController --seq_num=65280 --ack_type=No_ACK_Needed --cmd_set=General --cmd_id=1
Example of asking Flight Controller for hardware and firmware version data (Mavic 3):
./comm_serialtalk.py --bulk -vv --timeout=5000 --receiver_type=FlyController --seq_num=65280 --ack_type=ACK_After_Exec --cmd_set=General --cmd_id=1
OGs Service Tool for Dji products.
The script allows to trigger a few service functions of Dji drones. It talks to the drone like comm_serialtalk.py, but provides easier interface for some important functions.
Example of listing Flight Controller Parameters 200-300 on Ph3 Pro to CSV format:
./comm_og_service_tool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 P3X FlycParam list --start=200 --count=100 --fmt=csv
Example of getting value of Flight Controller Parameters on Spark:
./comm_og_service_tool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 -vv SPARK FlycParam get g_config.flying_limit.max_height_0 --fmt=2line
Example of setting value of Flight Controller Parameters on Spark:
./comm_og_service_tool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 -vv SPARK FlycParam set g_config.flying_limit.max_height_0 500
Example of performing service "joint coarse" calibration of Spark gimbal:
./comm_og_service_tool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 -vv SPARK GimbalCalib JointCoarse
Example of performing service "linear hall" calibration of Spark gimbal, using Windows host:
python3 comm_og_service_tool.py --port COM23 -vv SPARK GimbalCalib LinearHall
Example of listing Flight Controller Parameters 200-300 on the Mavic 3 Pro to CSV format:
./comm_og_service_tool.py --bulk MAV3 FlycParam list --start=200 --count=100 --fmt=csv
Smart Battery System communication tool.
This tool allows to interact with chips designed based on Smart Battery Data Specification. It also supports some extensions to that specification implemented by Texas Instruments in their BQ series gas gauge chips.
Usage of this tool requires connection to SMBus lines (SDA,SCL,GND) of the SBS-compatible chip. SMBus communication uses I2C as a base, so most devices with I2C bus can be used to establish the communication.
Example of simple read of BatteryStatus(), using I2C interface (the script will construct SMBus messages internally):
./comm_sbs_bqctrl.py -vvv --bus "i2c:1" --dev_address 0x0b read BatteryStatus
Example of reading several flag fields from BQ30z55 by ManufacturerAccess(), using SMBus interface:
./comm_sbs_bqctrl.py -v --bus "smbus:1" --dev_address 0x0b --chip BQ30z55 --short monitor BQStatusBitsMA
Example of unsealing BQ30z55 (enabling write capabilities), with default SHA-1 key, using I2C interface on 2nd bus device available to OS:
./comm_sbs_bqctrl.py -v --bus "i2c:2" --dev_address 0x0b --chip BQ30z55 --short sealing Unseal
The tests folder contains a collection of scripts which can be used to verify whether the tools do their job correctly. There are two general types of tests there:
Communication tools tests, marked comm. These are for the scripts which normally talk to real devices. The tests are injecting expected answers to receive buffers, so they can be run without the product connected.
Firmware extraction tools tests, marked fw_xv4, fw_imah_v1, fw_imah_v2. These extract and re-pack a firmware found in fw_packages directory, then compare the resulting file to original to check whether no unintended changes were introduced.
Besides testing your modifications, you can also use tests as source of more usage examples of the tools. They log command lines used to extract specific firmwares and execute specific commands on the products.
The tests are prepared to be used with pytest. Example of executing all tests:
pytest tests -rsx --full-scope --log-cli-level=INFO
The --full-scope option makes the tests execute on all known binaries, rather that on a selection used for continous integration. The CI tests are selective to make sure the automatic testing ends in reasonable time.
Remeber that the tests will only run on binaries placed in proper sub-folder of the fw_packages folder. Valid names of sub-folders can be easily found within the test scripts. If no firmware binaries are put to the folder, all firmware extraction tests will be skipped.
Besides running all tests, you can also run a specific one (with -k) or a group of tests with specific marking (with -m). Example of running fw_xv4 tests only:
pytest tests -rsx --full-scope -m fw_xv4 --log-cli-level=DEBUG
The folder contains Wireshark dissector for for analyzing communication in DJI drone interfaces.
Documentation of the tool is included in its folder.
For some specific firmware modules in specific versions, there are partial symbols available in 'symbols' directory. The symbols are in two formats:
MAP files - Can be loaded into most disassemblers with minimal effort. For IDA Pro, there is a plugin which can read MAP files and rename functions and variables accordingly. Only functions and global variables which were given a meaningful names are included in these files.
IDC script - Format specific to IDA Pro. Stores not only functions and globals, but also type information - enums and structs. Allows storing function parameters and local variables with their names and types, too. Can be easily applied to an opened ELF file via IDA Pro, no other tool will understand it.
Symbols are matched with ELF files generated with the tools described above, not directly with the BINs. Use example commands provided in previous section to generate ELF files with content matching to the symbols.
When working on a firmware version for which no symbols are available, you may want to use a version with symbols for reference in naming.
If you are looking for a best FW version for reference symbols, or you do not care for FW versions at all and just want the most complete symbols - check size of MAP file. MAP file mostly contains manually-named symbols, so the largest one will be for firmware version on which more reversing work was done.
