Introduction:

The EMCXT (Emtec Movie Cube eXTender) is written by TheLordOfTheCubs to make it possible to:
- Extract the firmware image (so you can do your own modifications); - Add/change functionality (like add a FTP or SHH server and many more); - (Re)make a (hacked) firmware image. The EMCXT is a 32 bit windows executable, and is used at OWN RISK! The following devices are supported by EMCXT v2.1.0: - Q800 (v1/v2), Q500, Q500 (LAN), Q120 (v1), Q120 (v2), Q100; - R700, R700 (v1108-013p), R100; - S800, S120; - Ellion HMR-700A, Ellion HMR-351H, Ellion HMR-350H, Fantec MMHDRL, Fantec MM-HDRTV, O2Media HMR-351N, O2Media HMR350N, O2Media HMR-350H * There are know issues with the use of Windows Vista, so use Windows XP.
Getting Started: First you have to start the EMCXT by double clicking on the icon of the program.
Now the program starts and you have four options: - About (info about the program and thanks to); - Language selection (operation language of EMCXT); - Exit; - Start.
Click on the about button and the about screen will be displayed.
Click on the English flag to change the operation language of EMCTX.
Click on exit and the EMCXT will close. Click on start to choose your model.
Select your model and click next to advance or exit to exit.
Choose action: Now you have three options: - Extract Firmware and Exit; - Run Configurattion Wizard; - Create Firmware from existing files.
Extract Firmware and Exit will allow you the write the firmware image to files on your computer so that you can edit, add or delete them. This allows you to make your own modifications to the firmware. Run Configuration Wizard allows you to make minor changes to the firmware, like HDD spindown and adding a ftp-server to the firmware and so on. Create Firmware from existing files lets you repack the (extracted) files to a image which you can flash to your device.
Extract Firmware and Exit: Click this option on the screen and click next to advance or exit to exit.
Now you have to select the firmware which you want to extract and click on open.
Now EMCXT ask you where you want to put the files that are to be extracted. Choose a location and click ok.
After EMCXT is finished with this operation EMCXT will exit and opens the folder where the extracted files are located.
Create Firmware from existing files: Click this option on the screen and click next to advance or exit to exit.
Select the folder where you have the extracted (modified) firmware and select ok.
Select a location to save the modified firmware file and click save:
EMCXT open the folder which you have selected:
Now copy the other four files (from the original firmware) to this location:
Now you can copy all six files to the root of your USB-stick and flash your modified firmware.
Run Configuration Wizard: Click this option on the screen and click next to advance or exit to exit.
To change the TimeShift slide the slider to the number you want, from 1 to 4 hours.* To change the Video Recording slide the slider to the percentage you want, from 5 to 100 %. * To change the partition volume slide the slider to your demands, from 0% FAT to 100% NTFS and from 100% FAT to 0% NTFS.* Enable Spindown allows you to set the timeout for the HDD to turn off, from 5 seconds to 20 minutes.* When everything set click next to advance or exit to exit.
Note that these settings will be stored in the image as default settings. So when you flash the firmware to your device there are NOT active. Only if you choose Restore Default under System in the setup-menu of your device, they become active.
Now you have to set the Security Options.
If you select Change Root Password use the input field to enter a new password (you can use this password to login as root via telnet, ssh). Disable logon for user nobody disables the logon for user nobody. Disable logon for user default disables the logon for user default. The option Disable Telnet Service disables the telnet server on port 23, so you cant connect to it any more. Enable SSH service will install the dropbear-server which allows you to connect relative save (encrypted) to the device. You can also choose the port number on which the SSH-server is active (default is 22). When youre finished click next to advance or exit to exit.
Here you can change the network settings.
Host Name By changing the host name you will change the NETBIOS name (this is by what name your device will show in your network). Known Hosts allows you to resolve a host that isnt known by or via a DNS server. So if you want to contact the computer named P4-2GHz add its IPaddress on the left and its name on the right. Now your device can resolve the added computer via its name. By Edit you can edit the IP-address and/or the name. With Delete you can delete a known host. Click on next to advance or exit to exit.

Change the NAS settings.

If you activated Start on Boot then the NAS function of your device will start every time you boot (start) your device. This allows you to access the files on the device via LAN (your network). Netbios Name By changing the host name you will change the NETBIOS name (this is by what name your device will show in your network). Workgroup will set the workgroup name you use in your network. Description Is the description of the NAS server (shows in your file-browser). Select the checkboxes to activate the preferred shares on the NAS. Click on next to advance or exit to exit.

Web-server options:

Enable will enable or disable the a web-sever on port 80 Document Root selects the folder of your web-files. Copy content from allows you to copy content from a other location. Delete old content deletes the default content in your image. Install Remote Administration Console will install a remote administration console. Click on next to advance or exit to exit.

FTP-server options:

Enable check the checkbox to enable the FTP-server. Banner Is the welcome massage of the FTP-server. Authentication allows you set authentication or anonymous login on the ftpserver. Password allows you to set a password to use. FTP-Root is the begin path of the ftp-server. Port allows you to change the default port to any other number. Click on next to advance or exit to exit.

- On ALL supported Models, simply extracting/recreating your firmware image will make your NTFS PARTITION WRITABLE! NOTE: since this is "old" Linux NTFS support, you're strongly advised to EVER: - use "Safe Disconnect" option from within Windows before removing USB cable - unmount partition before give reboot command - shutdown with remote control before powering off Otherwise your NTFS Partition will be marked as not consistent, and mounted read-only at next boot (you can recover from this by let Windows check and fix the partition)

- On Q800/S800/S120/Ellion HMR-351H/Fantec MM-HDRTV/O2Media HMR-351N, simply extracting/recreating your firmware image will make your Cube COPYFREE! (if you don't know what is means, please take a look here: http://www.mhdworld.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=196 &forum=10)
-----v2.0.0 ------ Now also "/usr/local/etc" TAR Archive can be extracted/recreated! - Added option to extract/recreate File System Image on R700 (BIOS v1108013p). - Now you can configure an already modified firmware: no more need to start with a "fresh" image! - Added compatibility with MHDWorld's custom firmware: now you can customize it as you like! - removed "Setup" options - changing them results in an unstable Cube v519 firmware. - Added permanent home directory for user "root" with a ".profile" shell configuration file therein. - Added SSH Server with user/password authentication (see "Security" Options).
- Modified MHDWORLD's RAC to allow remote stop/start of the SSH Server. - Added Web Server: you can - change location of your www files - add custom content - delete all content - install MHDWorld's Remote Administration Console NOTE: due to the way the RAC is designed, if you try to unistall it (e.g. unflag the Install option) ALL your Web Content will be deleted!
- Added FTP Server: you can - choose Server Banner - choose Server Port - choose Files location - choose type of authentication to use. NOTE: "Anonymous" will let you connect with user "ftp" or "anonymous" without entering any password; "Local User" will let you connect with user "ftps" and a MANDATORY valid password (logon for users "root", "nobody" and "default" will be denied) - Modified MHDWORLD's RAC FTP management to be compatible with firmware images produced by my tool - Now your NTFS Partition is WRITABLE !!!
