# README

A Python 3 package to download bars and turn them into autoloaders. Includes support scripts. Subsumes archivist and lazyloader.

With command line arguments, it proceeds as directed. Without command line arguments, it queries the user as to OS version, radio version, software version, etc. Most arguments are assumed with the questionnaire, so if you want fine control, use arguments.

This can be used either as importing bbarchivist, or the scripts from a command line.

## Requirements

### Universal

Requires Python >=3.4. Install the latest.

To get this package, install with pip:

    $ pip install bbarchivist

On POSIX, type that in your command line. For Windows, I recommend pip-win.

A copy of cap.exe is included with this script.

Since it does the entire autoloader process for all devices from start to finish, make sure to have A LOT of hard drive space. 40GB at least, even more if you aren’t using 7-Zip compression.

It also requires the requests library installed somehow. Installation with pip does this automatically, or use your package manager’s version.

7-Zip compression (default) uses p7zip (Linux/Mac)/7-Zip (Windows). Zip and tar.xxx compression don’t require external programs.

### Windows

To use 7-Zip compression, have 7-Zip installed. If not, make sure to specify a non-7-Zip compression method when invoking the script.

### Linux

If you’re using 7z compression, this requires p7zip (look through your package manager, or install from source) in your path. I.e.:

    $ which 7za

resolves to something.

Your package manager should also have a python-requests package available. If not, or if you want the latest, compile from source. Or use pip.

Other than that, install this with pip.

### Mac

Same as Linux, but you’ll have to either install p7zip from source, or install it with something like Homebrew or MacPorts.

## What It Does

8. Delete uncompressed loaders (optional)
9. Verify loaders (optional)

### Lazyloader

1. Ask for OS/radio/software versions, device type (if not specified)
2. Download the right OS/radio bar based on above input/specification
3. Extract bars
4. Create autoloader
5. Ask to load autoloader (Windows only)

### Example

    > bb-archivist 10.3.1.2726 10.3.1.2727 10.3.1.1877 -nr --sha512 --no-md5

would make only OS+radio autoloaders for OS 10.3.1.2726/radio 10.3.1.2727 (software release 10.3.1.1877), compress them, delete uncompressed loaders and verify with SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512.

    > bb-lazyloader 10.3.1.1955 10.3.1.1956 10.3.1.1372 --passport --run-autoloader

would create a Passport autoloader for OS 10.3.1.1955/radio 10.3.1.1956 (software release 10.3.1.1372), and run it (Windows only).

    > bb-cchecker 311 480 STA100-3

would check the latest OS for the Z30 STA100-3 on Verizon Wireless.

    > bb-filehasher -a

would use all available methods to hash all files in the local directory.

    > bb-escreens acdcacdc 10.3.2.6969 69696969 30

would generate the code for that PIN, OS version and uptime and for 30 days.
