Lab RSS

I AM NOT trying to get RSS. Now, does anyone know how to enable Lab Tools on RSS version R06.07.00? Also, can someone possibly get me a codplug for a Moto MTX 8000 that will work on RSS R02.00.00?

Thanks much!!!

Good luck with enabling lab tools...that request has been posted for at least 5 years on the main Batlabs website under "things we and others are looking for"...never heard how to as of yet.

Tread very, very lightly... that could be easily construed as a request for RSS...

there are people who can hex edit regular rss into lab, but those who know aren't going to take the heat by posting it. that said, If you have patience it wouldn't be that hard to figure out.

I doubt it is trivial, but, there definitely is some latent code in the .odb file that is not executed when the "normal" application runs. The additional structures make it appear to be lab-like stuff.

It seems to me it would be more difficult to use a "conventional" hex edit technique since it isn't a "normal" DOS executable due to the memory relocation.

that would be a correct assumption. but, If someone were willing to spend the time, i'm sure it could be done.

The key looks like it is not the simpler method of turning a mode on or off, but, the launch point of the executable. There at least two potential executable starts in the two code groups contained in the .odb file.

Also, the runtime.exe contains a couple of potential opportunities, as it was custom built for the application and not the standard PharLap default.

It looks like "enough" time could be "infinite" time!

Those potential executables might be strings for calls within the program that are set to function 'if' the proper 'call' is made...as in FTR keys or installed system keys for trunking, if so capable.

They may have made 'universal' RSS that could do trunking but without the linking within the string to call up that particular app.

But hey, it's only time........

Since time is not a factor(!), I've discovered there are three sets of "lab-type" code. The lab initialization code always executes upon startup, so, there is definitely a signal somewhere to jump to the other stuff. It is definitely not enabled in each section on-the-fly, but in some other manner.

There is a file, called mtsxlab.mdf. This file is definitely checked during startup. Since I don't have it, I don't know what's in it, but it definitely plays a role. It could be as simple as having the correct file, and, the thing jumps to the alternate launch point. I do know it isn't the mere existence of any file - it needs something from it - as it is opened and read.

Look at my homepage.I´ve not hacked the MTS/MCS2000 RSS into Lab,but I´ve done this with GP900 and some other RSS.
You can find a lot of informations.

I continue to work on this "problem". I have been able to trace the start-up code, and there's some very strange intialization code. It appears there are actually two versions of the LAB that could be started - the factory and the depot.

After this, it appears it becomes a brute force trial and error. Andreas' page does show some similarities, and, there's some similarity with LAB 2.00.

I'm open to any new suggestions.

Someone tried to hack a US Waris upgradetool into LAb or decrypt the
Codeplugs and firmware to S-Records?
