fifa17-recon: priority doc for August 2026
The deliverable owed from the assessment brief. Ordered by cost of the measurement
that would settle each item, not by how important the outcome feels.
Headline reordering: the observation session ran and did NOT produce the match
shape. Seasons refuses with zero requests to any layer and Draft hangs, so both
routes into a match are blocked and /match is now behind a fix rather than in front
of one. The next task is instead one launch with FUT_MOVE_BODY=ack, which is the
only open problem where the decompiler has produced a verified necessary condition
that has never been satisfied.
Also recorded:
- The User-Agent split. Real client (ProtoHttp) vs our own probes. /clubUser and
/user/list have 93 and 180 recorded hits and not one came from the game. Every
"the client asks for X" claim predating the split is unsupported until rechecked.
- The narrowed-core measurement. The proposed boundary ("ownership and economy keyed
by opaque integer item ids") is correct and every per-item prediction held, but
narrowing is not what guts core: FIFA 17 relevance is. Six services totalling 869
lines model features with no FIFA 17 endpoint at all, survive narrowing perfectly,
and are worth nothing here. Suite: 61 of 101, not the 81 previously claimed.
Recommendation is to reuse the scaffolding and the 61 tests, not the service layer.
- Port timing stays "after", led by the match-result-shape argument: three of the
four queued items will change a response schema, and porting a placeholder schema
means porting the correction too.
- test_fut_contract.py is now implementation-independent (380 checks over HTTP), so
it can certify a Rust port. That is the port's main de-risking asset and it exists.
- A "What could make this plan wrong" section, including that a negative ack result
is not a refutation, and that every negative claim in ENDPOINT_MAP.md is weaker
than the corresponding positive one after the FutMoveCard retraction.
Standing requirements recorded, including the User-Agent filter default (required,
not yet implemented) and two wrong .rdata addresses still to correct.

fifa17-recon: RETRACT the FutMoveCard "no skip handler" claim; stage the ack shape
RETRACTION. This repo claimed, in REBUILD_RESEARCH S14c and in utas_server's
item_route comment, that FutMoveCard 0x180128600 "HAS NO SKIP HANDLER
(FUN_180135ff0 appears zero times, unique among FUT deserializers)" and "parses
only itemData -> dreamSquads". Every part of that is false. Full decompile:
FUN_180135ff0 call sites : 2 (offsets 5006, 6080)
atoms parsed : 7 active dreamSquads id itemData pile reason success
Cause: the decompile was written out as src[:4000] and then searched. The function
is 6193 chars, so BOTH skip-handler call sites and four of the seven atoms lay past
the cut. An absence was reported from a truncated listing -- the same failure mode
as the Memory.getBytes bytearray scan that silently returned zero hits. Never
conclude an absence without asserting the searched region covers the function.
Cost: the false claim implied "any extra key desyncs this parser", which sent the
investigation after client-side state for seven attempts, and the derived premise
"the deciding factor is client-side state, not the wire" was wrong too.
VERIFIED SHAPE. PUT ut/%s/item is not an ack endpoint; it returns per-item VERDICT
records:
id(0x15c) INT 0x1801c79d0 -> record+0x00
pile(0x226) STRING 0x1801c7aa0 -> enum 0x180142650 (club=7 purchased=6 trade=5)
success(0x2fa) BOOL 0x1801c7620 -> record+0x0c
reason(0x279) STRING -> "Destination Full" = 0xf
dreamSquads(0xe9) INT array; else -> FUN_180135ff0 (skip)
The completion handler raises EVENT_CARDS_MOVE_CARD_FAILURE when the record vector
is EMPTY or record+0x0c != 1, and success is initialised to '\0' per element. So
every body ever returned reported the move as FAILED, {} included. Quick sell
survives an identical {} because its callbacks read only the transport code and
ignore the body -- that is the whole asymmetry, and it was on the wire after all.
STAGED, NOT DEFAULTED. FUT_MOVE_BODY=ack emits the correct shape; the default stays
`empty` because sufficiency is untested. One launch settles it.
The ack is answered BEFORE the `if moved:` gate: under FUT_PACK_AUTOCLUB=1 the
cards are already in the club when the reveal asks to move them, so move_items()
returns nothing and a moved-derived body would be zero-record -- failing in exactly
the configuration ack exists to fix. Caught in review before it ran. success is
asserted only for ids that were moved now or are already in the club; anything else
gets an honest success:false rather than an invented verdict.

fifa17-recon: match rewards, POW online layer, account backend, quick sell
Second session. FUT core loop, the EASFC/POW online layer, a central account
backend, and a lot of corrections. Everything risky is behind an env flag with
the default set to whatever was live-proven.
WORKING END TO END (live-verified this session):
* match loop -- POST/PUT/POST/DELETE ut/%s/match, rewards via FutDestroyMatch
(0x180121b60). Play a match, get coins, W/D/L updates.
* packs -- buy, cards land in the club, session survives (FUT_PACK_AUTOCLUB=1)
* quick sell -- POST ut/delete/%s/item was UNMAPPED and paid NOTHING; six cards
were destroyed for 0 coins. Now credits discardValue.
* POW/EASFC online -- the "EA FC servers unreachable" banner is powdll's layer,
a THIRD http api on :8094 nobody had served. Redirect needs no root: powdll
FUN_18005a460 reads FIFA_POW_URL from the same client-config store as
ROSTERUPDATE_URL. FUT_POW=1.
* account backend -- fut_account.py replaces 7 hardcoded copies of the persona
across 5 files; club/persona/online-profile editable via CLI.
CORRECTIONS TO ENDPOINT_MAP (all re-extracted from the deserializers):
* FutStoreGetPackTypes: id/packType/isPremium/quantity/saleType/purchaseLimit/
purchaseCount are NOT skipped no-ops -- all are parsed. extPrice inner objects
take externalPriceId(0x11a), not amount/currency.
* FutMoveCard 0x180128600 has NO skip handler (FUN_180135ff0 appears zero times,
unique among FUT deserializers) and parses only itemData -> dreamSquads.
* class -> deserializer resolution: the name literal is preceded by a 4-BYTE
HEADER and the factory LEA points at the header, so look up name_addr - 4.
Six attempts failed on this; now ghidra_env.class_deser(). Unlocked 11 SBC/
Draft schemas.
* live-only endpoints the request table never lists: ut/%s/squad/list,
ut/%s/user/club, ut/%s/club/stats/*, ut/%s/clientdata/<key>. The template
table is a floor, not a ceiling -- the log is the only ground truth.
* 163 RS4 call names exist; we served 17. All now served.
FIXED: club/stats/* was answering with the entire 28-item club inventory on every
poll (it fell through to the generic /club route).
UNSOLVED: the pack reveal's "Send to Club" (PUT ut/%s/item) kills the FUT session
whatever we answer -- {} included -- while its sibling quick-sell endpoint accepts
a bare {}. Seven hypotheses eliminated by live test, documented in
REBUILD_RESEARCH.md S14c so none get re-walked. FUT_PACK_AUTOCLUB routes around it.
Also unfixed: store tiles render "unknown" (displayGroup is parsed RECURSIVELY by
the same element parser; sending it FROZE the store, so FUT_STORE_GROUPS=1 is
default off).
Tests: test_fut_contract.py 380 (live, read-only) + test_match_rewards.py 51 (pure).
Note: fut_store.py carries some pre-existing uncommitted changes from before this
session (pack catalogue ids, pending-pile behaviour) that could not be separated
from this session's additions in the same file.

fifa17-recon: FUT squad blocker solved + userInfo delivered
The client now issues PUT /squad and the hub renders coins, record and the
squad roster. Three separate root causes, all verified live.
Squad blocker (the long-standing "client never sends PUT /squad"):
AddPlayerToSquad, GetSquads and SelectSquadById issue ZERO network requests
(pure local model reads/mutations, FutSquadServiceImpl vtable 0x180233ff0);
only SaveCurrentSquad writes, and it is unguarded. The client simply needed a
populated ACTIVE squad model, which arrives via the massinfo `squad` member.
No response of ours was ever being rejected.
userMassInfo is NOT required to be {}:
0x180174630 is a FLAT {userInfo, squad, settings, userData} body -- the old
"wrapper key is user" note was wrong, and the historical freeze was the
malformed squad member, not the envelope.
clubNameChangeAllowed must be false:
sending true advertises a club-rename flow whose UI model is never populated;
the client shows a naming prompt and dies confirming it (ACCESS_VIOLATION
reading 0x0 at FIFA17.exe+0x71b8651, 4/4 runs, no CardsDLL frame and no request
in flight). Isolated by a single-variable run; guarded by a contract check.
Endpoint/schema corrections found in live traffic, invisible to static analysis:
* GET ut/%s/squad/list is a real endpoint and must return {"squad":[...]},
not the active-squad object (the /list suffix is appended by the caller, so
it never appeared in the request table)
* PUT lands on ut/%s/squad/<id>, not a bare ut/%s/squad
* userInfo currencies are read as name/funds/finalFunds/active -- there is no
"value" key, so coins always rendered 0
* squad-list elements take STRING formation/squadType, not ints
* the CardsDLL script-API thunk<->name table was off by one (AddPlayerToSquad
is 0x18004aa70; 0x18004aff0 is GetPotentialChemistry_Club)
FUT_MASSINFO / FUT_USERINFO ladders keep every step of the bisect reproducible.
Contract suite 311 -> 358 checks. Tooling added: PyGhidra harness (Ghidra's
Java/OSGi script path is broken on this box), minidump reader, live code grabber.

fifa17-recon: store fix (v2/store gate + flags) + full FUT endpoint map
Store "not available" root cause reversed from CardsDLL:
- ut/v2/game/fifa17/store is an ELIGIBILITY gate (FutStorePackQuantities
deser 0x1801758c0), not a quantity list. It reads one key "result"
(atom 0x288); the store screen refuses to open unless SUCCESS. Was
unhandled -> catch-all {} -> "not available". Now returns {"result":"SUCCESS"}.
- Store-screen entitlement checks (0x18001749d/0x1800175a2) read IS_*/
*_PURCHASE_ENABLED Blaze flags, separate from storeEnabled. Added the full
confirmed set (14 flags) to FUT_RS4_CONFIG.
- Catalog: assetId (0x23) is the real pack identity; extPrice inner keys are
amount/currency (not mtx). (Also gated client-side by GetSystemMetrics>1024x768.)
Full FUT API reversed (clean-room, CardsDLL only) into docs/ENDPOINT_MAP.md:
~100 FutXServerResponse types across 7 feature groups (market, SBC, draft,
seasons/match, club, store, user/hub), each with deserializer VA, atom-mapped
field schema + types, freeze-risk flags, and minimal known-good JSON.
Tooling kept: tools/atomdump.py (dumps the 907-atom key table at 0x1802d2760)
-> docs/fut_atoms.tsv. Research prompt: docs/OPENCODE_ENDPOINT_PROMPT.md.

fifa17-recon: SOLVED — real player cards render offline
A full 88-rated real FUT squad (Ronaldo/Messi/Suárez/Ramos/Kroos/Alba/ Hazard/Oblak/Alaba/Boateng) renders 100% offline, no EA servers. Mechanism: the definition fetch was unnecessary — FIFA has all player identity locally in dbdata.dll. The CLUB-SEARCH / Add-Player flow (GET /club?type=player&count=N, served by our /club route) makes FIFA resolve each item's assetId against its own local DB (real name/photo/ club/nation) and merge the rating/attributes our /club item carries, caching a real record in the CardsDb store. No idList fetch, no leaked data. Recipe: utas FUT_SQUAD_STEP=s3v0 -> /club serves the full XI; in FUT, Squads -> Add Player/search -> results render real -> add to slots. docs/CARD_SYSTEM.md updated with the SOLVED mechanism + recipe.

fifa17-recon: offline FUT squad-shell working + full card-system RE
Milestone: FIFA 17 Ultimate Team boots end-to-end on our offline backend
past every EA gate into the hub and a live Squads editor (correct 4-4-2,
5-star squad, no freezes).
Key findings this session:
- userMassInfo MUST stay {} (any content desyncs the massinfo parser
0x180174630 -> tokenizer busy-loop freeze). Deliver the squad via
GET /squad/0 (fetched on Squads-tab entry) instead.
- Player cards render generic because the card view-model (0x1800d7920)
reads identity/rating/face from a resolved record at item+0x10, filled
by a lookup (0x18011cca0) in the FUT item-definition std::map at
CardsDb+0x160c0 -- which is EMPTY offline -> default blank record.
- Version advertising (itemDbVersion/checkServerDbVersion) is proven inert
(JSON fields routed to the skip handler). Owned items don't auto-trigger
a definition fetch. In-place map overwrite is dead (map stays empty).
- Definition-serving endpoints (item/resource, defid, item?idList) built +
ready; the fetch trigger lives in the packed FIFA17.exe.
New: docs/CARD_SYSTEM.md (findings + ordered next-steps plan for real
player cards: patch-POC, dbdata extractor, drive FIFA17.exe fetch, or
live-memory store injection). Plus tools: fut_seed.py (squad ladder +
definition serving), fifadrive.sh, vgamepad.py, and the login-RE toolset.

fifa17-recon: package the working offline FUT backend
Emulates FIFA 17's full online + Ultimate Team stack against an offline,
clean-room backend (no EA servers). Proven end-to-end 2026-08-01:
Origin login -> Blaze login -> device-trust -> the FUT hub.
Package:
- tools/openfut-fut.sh one-command orchestrator (start/stop/status/restart)
- tools/root_arm.sh idempotent host arm (sysctls, DNAT, /etc/hosts easw)
- tools/{lsx_responder_v2,blaze_responder_v3b,roster_server,utas_server,autopatch}.py
the 5 servers (Origin LSX :4216, Blaze :42127/42130/42131, roster :8081,
FUT/UTAS :8099) + heat2.py (Fire2/Heat2 TDF codec)
- FUT-RUNBOOK.md runbook + gate-ladder troubleshooting
- docs/, tools/login_dump/*.md the reverse-engineering write-ups
All findings are clean-room, from binaries we own; nothing from any leak.
The wire protocol maps 1:1 to FIFA 23.
