# G90ToolKit
[](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/sydneyowl/g90toolkit)  
## Introduction
This software is based on several open-source tools, allowing users to:
+ Modify the embedded boot image/text in the G90 firmware.
+ Encrypt/Decrypt firmware use user provided key
+ Take a brief look at the firmware info
+ Flash firmware into G90 series Rigs (g90updatefw integrated)
+ ......
**This software should work on windows/linux/macos but I only tried it on ubuntu 24.04**
> [!important]
> The official Xiegu firmware is encrypted using the AES-256 algorithm, making it nearly impossible to decrypt without
> the key. Fortunately, there are open-source methods available to extract the
> encryption key using an ST-LINK debugger and OpenOCD tools. Due to copyright restrictions, I cannot provide the key
> here, but you can extract the encryption key and decrypt the firmware using the methods outlined
> in [G90Tools](https://github.com/OpenHamradioFirmware/G90Tools) or by finding the key shared by others online.
## Usage
+ `./g90toolkit fullexec --firmware --key
--device --logo-path
--text --output `
**Automatically decrypt firmware， apply changes, re-encrypt firmware,
save to file, and flash into device.**
+ `./g90toolkit decrypt --firmware --output --key ` **Decrypt firmware using specified key.**
+ `./g90toolkit encrypt --firmware --output --key ` **Encrypt firmware using specified key.**
+ `./g90toolkit getinfo --firmware ` **Read information of the firmware.**
+ `./g90toolkit flashfw --firmware --device ` **write a firmware file to a Xiegu radio.**
+ `./g90toolkit patchimg --firmware --logo-path --output ` **Patch boot logo, should be 64x64**
+ `./g90toolkit patchtext --firmware --text --output ` **Patch boot text**
+ use `./g90toolkit --help` to get help information.
