add tools/huawei_files/split_updata.py

[StephenPCG]

The original split_updata.pl seems to be too old, which will not
recognize image names for recent UPDATE.APP .

Usage:

  split_updata.py -l UPDATE.APP  # list images in UPDATE.APP
  split_updata.py -u UPDATE.APP  # unpack images to output/

Hope python won't bring too many dependencies for Kitchen.

Hi, does your script break the old functionality of the original APP files?

It's a shame that I didn't test this script with old APP files. I rewrite this script based on the original perl script and another php implementation: https://github.com/genokolar/unpacker_huawei .

The perl one tell image names based on head[20:24], which is commented UNKNOWN in the php one.

I run the perl script against the latest A199 official rom, and no image name is recognized.

There is another windows application Huawei Update Extractor: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454, which can output with correct image names.

Okay, just make sure it is modified to be compatible with existing old behaviour, and I will merge it. Thanks.

I could add some command line parameters to my extractor to extract the update.app if you want...

Sure, whatever works for you dude. As long as it does not break existing
functionality. It is probably best to create your own guide/thread on xda
on how to use the kitchen for your device, and then I can link to it from
Post 1 of the main kitchen thread. Thanks

Added command line parameters. It is a windows only tool tho...

[dsixda]

Okay I can add this link to the main kitchen thread later. Which devices
does this Windows thing support?

All new huawei devices, older ones need some configuration in the profiles.xml.
