Realtek RTL9201R Firmware 1.32.7 / 9.34.11

================================================================================   REALTEK RTL9201 / RTL9201R FIRMWARE EXTRACTION GUIDE   How to convert a raw SPI Hardware Dump into an MPTool-Flashable .bin ================================================================================ [IMPORTANT PREPARATION] Always work on a COPY of your original SPI dump. Never edit your only backup. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- METHOD A: USING ABSOLUTE OFFSETS (Recommended - No reloading required) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open your raw SPI dump in a Hex Editor (e.g., HxD) and perform these 3 actions: 1. REMOVE EMBEDDED LED BLOCK    • Select from offset: 00000000    • To offset:         00003FFF    • Action:            DELETE (This removes the 16KB LED block) 2. REMOVE ALIGNMENT PADDING    • Select from offset: 00001000    • To offset:         00001FFF    • Action:            DELETE (This shifts 00002000 down to 00001000) 3. TRIM THE TRAILING CODE TO SIZE    Keep only the exact bytes required for your specific firmware trunk. Select     from the starting offset below all the way to the very END of the file, and     DELETE everything selected.    • For 1.34.x / 452KB Trunks: Delete everything AFTER offset 00070FFF    • For 1.33.x / 388KB Trunks: Delete everything AFTER offset 00060FFF      (Includes 1.33.88, 1.33.3, and 9.32.74) 4. SAVE YOUR COMPLETED FILE    • Save as: [Your_Firmware_Name]_signed.bin    • It is now ready to load directly into MPTool Lite / Mini. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- METHOD B: STEP-BY-STEP SHIFT METHOD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you prefer to save and reload the file to reset the editor's counter: 1. Delete from 00000000 to 00003FFF.  2. SAVE, CLOSE, and RE-OPEN the file. 3. Delete from 00001000 to 00001FFF. 4. Trim the file tail to its final exact size and delete everything after:    • For 452KB size (e.g., 1.34.29): Keep up to 00070FFF. Delete after.    • For 400KB size:                Keep up to 00063FFF. Delete after.    • For 388KB size (e.g., 1.33.x): Keep up to 00060FFF. Delete after. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [OPTIONAL] INJECTING STOCK DEFAULT IDENTIFICATION AREA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To set the device profile/ID area from being modified, you can  inject a clean signature segment from a known working stock binary file: 1. Open a known good, working stock generic firmware .bin file. 2. Copy the exact block from offset 00000800 through to 00008DFF. 3. Open your newly created custom firmware .bin file. 4. Select the identical region (00000800 to 00008DFF). 5. Paste-Write (Overwrite) the copied block directly over it. 6. Save the file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [TROUBLESHOOTING FLASH PERCENTAGE STATUS] • If the binary is under-trimmed (too large): The updater utility will still    flash successfully, but the progress bar will prematurely finish and close    out when it hits roughly ~80%. • If the binary is over-trimmed (too small): The flash operation will fail    entirely, and the controller will drop into a "GD Firmware" loop recovery state. ================================================================================
