carrier-explode stands on the shoulders of giants. Everything here was built on other people’s work.
Contributors: Alec Dusheck.
Firmware and bundles
- Apple. The carrier bundles, modem firmware and settings decoded on this site ship inside Apple’s own IPSW restore images and over-the-air (OTA) assets, which Apple hosts on its own download servers. Apple, iOS, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch are trademarks of Apple Inc.
- ipsw.me. The release catalogue and board configurations come from its public service, which is how each IPSW is found and where Apple hosts it.
- AppleDB. Betas and builds that ipsw.me does not list, and which phone each board in a bundle’s file names is, come from AppleDB.
- Google. Pixel factory and OTA images are Google’s, listed on Google’s Android OTA images page. Android field names come from the CarrierConfigManager javadoc in the Android Open Source Project. Pixel, Android and Google are trademarks of Google LLC.
Prior art
These projects worked out how carrier bundles are extracted and what is in them before this site did.
- dwilliamsuk/ios-carrier-bundles: the IPSW extraction steps.
- mast3rz3ro/imobilecfbm, mrlnc/ipcc-downloader and samsam123.name.my/ipcc: downloaders over the same manifest.
- The Apple Wiki: Carrier Bundle.
- JohnBel/EfsTools and fenrir-naru/mbn_utils for Qualcomm EFS and NV names, and 3GPP TS 23.041 and 3GPP2 C.S0016 for the spec-defined formats.
Images
- Phone drawings. The iPhone and Pixel outlines are drawn for this site from shapes measured on Apple’s images (Apple’s iPhone comparison and Apple’s iPhone identification guide) and Google’s own images. They are not Apple’s or Google’s artwork.
- Version marks. The iOS and Android release icons are drawn for this site and coloured after each release’s own branding.
- File-type icons and the site icon are drawn for this site.
Carrier logos
Carrier names and logos are trademarks of their owners. They are shown only to say which carrier a bundle belongs to; this site is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them. Each logo below links to where it comes from. Original logo files are kept unmodified, apart from the site’s own icons, and the carriers under Template tile use a neutral tile with their initials instead of a logo.
