Pentax Firmware Decode Tool

This is a Pentax Firmware Decryption/Decompression tool, which is based on MooseV2's code, svenpeter42's code, and the decompress's patch made by bootcoder.

Made for the PHDK project.

Install

First you need to make sure you have installed Node.js, in case you haven't, here is how.

Installing pfwtool is very simple, just:

npm i pfwtool -g

Usage

To use this tool is straight forward:

pfwtool -i <in> -o <out>

<in> is the filename/path of the firmware from downloaded package, such as fwdc220b.bin, which is encrypted/compressed.
<out> is the output file name of the decrypted/decompressed firmware.

To extract the resources file in K-S1/K-S2 firmware:

pfwtool -i ks1.bin -e resdir

For other arguments, please check the --help arguments

$ pfwtool -h
