M.I.B. - More Incredible Bash

NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE - IF YOU BOUGHT THIS YOU GOT RIPPED OFF!

M.I.B. is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0. See LICENSE for more information.

NOTE:

• M.I.B. is running on Harman MHI2(Q) units (MIB 2.x) only.

• Minimum requirement to run M.I.B. in GEM is GEM version 4.1+.

• This excludes some of the older train versions.

• Use M.I.B. via Putty on older GEM versions or update FW to latest available, they are all GEM 4.1+.

• Make sure, that you always run latest M.I.B version --> https://mib.mibsolution.one

• For additional Information check https://mibwiki.one

CAUTION:

• Ensure that a external power is connected to the car during any flash or programming process!
• It is not recommended to flash with running engine!
• Power failure during flasing/programming will brick your unit.
• All you do and use at your own risk!

Prepare SD card:

• Extract all files of the M.I.B. to the root directory of a clean SD-Card (FAT32 formatted is requirement!!!)
• Make sure that your SD card is not write protected.
• Patched IFS-stage2 images have to be placed on the SD card in the folder /patches
• Pre-patched (CP, FEC and EL) ifs-root-stage2 images can be found for all recent MHI2 FW versions here: https://mib.mibsolution.one
• You only have to copy the folder(s) you need for your car(s) - e.g. /patches/MHI2_ER_SKGxx_Pxxxx_MUxxxx_PATCH
• They are already prepared in the right way, so that the tool can use them right away
• In case you want to use your own patches (not recommended) - ask us first to help you:
• For each SW-train a seperate folder is needed e.g. /patches/MHI2_ER_SKGxx_Pxxxx_MUxxxx_PATCH
• The folder has to contain the patched ifs-root-stage2 image with the following naming syntax:
• "MU-version"-ifs-root-part2-"image start address in hex within RCC"-"image length in hex" --> e.g. MUxxxx-ifs-part2-0x00ba0000-1C06F300.ifs
• image length is on byte 0x20 position 04-07 in little Endian of the original ifs-root-stage2 image (e.g. fresh from FW update)
• addfec.txt with the FECs you want to add to your FecContainer.fec and stock ExceptionList.txt. Get these from any of the other prepared patch folder.

FEC Generator:

• M.I.B is generating custom FecContainer.fec files based on existing FecContainer.fec and addfec.txt in patch folder.
• addfec.txt can be edited with any ASCII editor (Notepad++). Only not yet existing FECs will be added to container during the process.
• No need to change FECContainer.fec with WhatTheFec tool. Original FECs in container will continue to work even without patch on unit.
• It is recommended to switch to this method and replace existing ExceptionList.txt with original (empty) versions.
• Just run "Add new Fecs to FecContainer.fec" script in M.I.B -> PATCH.

M.I.B. in Green Engineering Menu - GEM:

• Insert the SD card into slot SD1 of your MHI2 unit.
• Enter Engineering/Red Menu to start SW Update. Select UPDATE, select SD card, select "M.I.B. Launcher V1.0", START update.
• Installtion of M.I.B. on your Unit will start. The unit will restart three time until update process is finished.
• GEM will be activated as part of the installation.
• SVM error has to be cleared via M.I.B. function in GEM after installation
• Enter GEM on your unit and have FUN!
• Select ==>>M.I.B.-More_Incredible_Bash<<==
• Check GEM_menu_structure.png for details on the existing menus and function.

NOTE: SD card has to be placed in unit (SD1) to enable M.I.B. in GEM. --> no SD no M.I.B.

• GEM screen layout is fitted to 9.2'' screens - should work OK on 8'', but will have text cutted on smaller than 8''

Update to new M.I.B. version:

• No need to reinstall M.I.B if you want to use a new version.
• Just create a fresh SD with latest M.I.B. version and insert into unit.

2nd way, D-Link Method: Connect to MHI2 and start M.I.B.:

• D-Link - e.g. DUB-E100 HW rev. D1 - USB-Ethernet adapter is required to connect to your MHI2 unit.
• Use Putty/Kitty to connect via UART or Telnet (MIB IP:172.16.250.248) and login into RCC (recommended: port:123) or MMX (port:23).
• Login and password for your units SW train has to be known.
• Check your SW-train, a pre-patched ifs-root-stage2 has to be present within the folder /patches
• Insert the SD card into slot SD1 of your MHI2 unit and login to the RCC shell:

Mount SD card in slot SD1

• mount -uw /net/mmx/fs/sda0/

start M.I.B by typing

• /net/mmx/fs/sda0/start

• Default screen seize of Putty/Kitty is often too small to display the M.I.B. menu in full.

• Increase the window seize manually.

You should see (a more colourful) menu with the following content:

---

** 0 - Advanced Backup

• Runs a full backup (RCC, MMX, EEPROM, ...) of your unit and places it into the folder /backup/"your hardware ID"

** 1 - VIM patch (199 km/h)

• Writes custom Video In Motion (VIM) speed of 199 km/h (yes, too slow for German Autobahn) to your unit
• Unit will automatically restart to save changes permanently

** 2 - VIM Original (6 km/h)

• Writes factory default Video In Motion (VIM) speed to unit
• Unit will automatically restart to save changes permanently

** 3 - IFS-ROOT-Stage2 flash patched image

• Will create a backup if it was not already created before
• applies patched IFS Stage 2 image - containing patched MIBRoot - to the unit
• Copy FEC and EL List to Unit - like option 5
• Unit will automatically restart to save changes permanently

** 4 - IFS-ROOT-Stage2 revert to Backup image

• Applies original IFS Stage 2 image - containing original/stock MIBRoot - from your system backup to the unit
• Unit will automatically restart to save changes permanently

** 5 - Copy FEC and EL List to Unit

• Copies ExceptionList.txt and/or FecContainer.fec placed within
• e.g. /patches/MHI2_ER_SKGxx_Pxxxx_MUxxxx_PATCH to the unit
• if no FEC and/or EL is inside /patch directory, files from /backup folder will be used

** 6 - Developer Menu activation

• Developer Menu will be enabled - no need for VCP/VCDS or OBD11 ;)
• Unit will automatically restart to save changes permanently

** 7 - CarPlay & Android Auto activation

• Coding adaption channels for CP & AA as well as USB with iPhone support
• with this, all you need for Carplay is coded, you never need some other coding tools ;-)

** 8 - Ambient Light Buttons Original

• it is some special coding only for Skoda Octavia 5E, yet!

** 9 - Ambient Light Buttons patch (first, set to Original)

• it is some special coding only for Skoda Octavia 5E, yet!

** F - Fix SVM error

• Fix SVM Fault on Unit

** G - Install M.I.B. in GEM

• Install M.I.B. for use in GEM on Unit

** O - Set OBD Status

• Prevent Unit from OBD

** U - Mount USB writeable

• makes USB devices writeable

** W - Mountpoints writeable

• make some Mounts writeable on the unit

** R - Reboot Unit

• restart the Unit

** C - cleanup Logs

• delete all inside /log directory

** S - show Log (press Q for exit view)

• show all our Logs from this Unit

** H - Help
