I used Binwalk to extract firmware files, extracted content include 2 folders and one binary file.

squashfs-root
_351C.extracted
351C

Squashfs-root contains file system, '_351C.extracted' folder contains security certificates (.crt). Don't know what is '351C' binary file (2.96 Mb).

Now I need to rebuild firmware back to binary image (.bin). How to rebuild this into binary firmware image? I tried use Firmware Mod Kit to extract fw, but it old, fails to run on my LTS 16.04 due missing some dependencies.

The FW file.

It really depends on the firmware format. If it was pure squashfs, without any additional header, just generate the new firmware file out of your set of files via mksquashfs https://elinux.org/Squash_FS_Howto#Creating_and_using_squashed_file_systems Otherwise, you'll need to append header/footer to the squashfs file to make it look like the original firmware.

  • For more specific, I added an actual FW file. Is there other tools or methods to add header and footer and rebuild to original binary?
