mstar-bin-tool

The is a set of command-line utilities designed to pack and unpack firmware files for devices using MStar processors , such as Smart TVs (Android TV) and digital set-top boxes. It is widely used by developers and hobbyists for "porting" or modifying firmware. 🛠️ Core Utilities

  1. Check the version: Run mstar-bin-tool-master --version to verify the tool's version.
  2. Set up your account: Create a new account or import an existing one using mstar-bin-tool-master account new or mstar-bin-tool-master account import <private_key>.
  3. Configure the network: Set the network you want to interact with using mstar-bin-tool-master config network <network_name> (e.g., bsc, mainnet, testnet).

The toolset consists of several Python scripts that handle specific firmware tasks: Check the version : Run mstar-bin-tool-master --version to

  • Brick risk: Wrong repacking parameters or header versions can permanently disable a device.
  • Chipset variance: Some newer MST chips use stronger AES-128 encryption; the tool may not support them without valid keys.
  • No GUI: It’s command-line only – expect to get comfortable with hex dumps and partition tables.

extract_keys.py

: Retrieves AES and RSA-public keys from a device's MBOOT binary, which are necessary for decrypting specific partitions like boot.img or recovery.img .
