TPT is not blocked, you just have to use a single image.bin, one md5 to check, not several with gen1 TPT the big issue is the disabled fastboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hedgepigdaniel Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 It would appear that this flasher works differently to the other ones. no C:\Windows\sysdy\ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CaptainSpectacular Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 did you get that by flashing or did you manage to extract the files? By flashing. Anyway, I found a folder here : "C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp\P729C_BYTEL_UpgradeTool". He's empty, but I think temp files are stored here during the flash ?

Guest ayziaa Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Is this worth flashing? I have a french SF running on gingerbread and it works great! Is someone gonna make fashable recovery rom out of it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's empty, but I think temp files are stored here during the flash ? using a large amount of common sense, I have extracted all the files from the exe. the only files that didn't match an equivalent in another stock 2.2 upgrade were oemsbl.mbn, amss.mbn, boot.img, system.img, and recovery.img. You can flash the update and look at the files here and see in the md5 table how it lines up with the other upgrades in terms of firmware. @azyiaa: you can flash this, but you don't have to flash the full firmware - you can wait until someone packs it as a clockwork zip aswell, if you want to avoid flashing the whole kit via windows.

Guest CaptainSpectacular Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Can I ask if someone with the enough amount knowledge of Android can make a flashable .zip of the french update please ? I know a little bit about Linux but I'm afraid that could be a little bit to hard for me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CaptainSpectacular Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) download the files form my post, extract the img files and replace them in one of the otehr stock rom zips Thanks for the instructions. For no doubt, how to properly extract the contain of the .img and witch ones must be extracted ? Ok, I have extracted my system.img. I just have to replace the boot.img and the system folder in a .zip from another ROM (for example stock ROM from the Stock Rom post ?) right ? Do I have to replace the recovery.img too ? Sorry for being ignorant, but what's the META-INF folder ? It isn't ROM independant ? Thanks again.

Yes, replace system folder, boot.img and recovery.img from another stock ROM. Be careful with the recovery.img though, it overwrites your current clockworkmod. META-INF contains zip signature and update scripts. If you want to be on the safe side, you can remove lines from updater-script, that refers to recovery.img. Then you'll atleast have clockwork if something other fails. Or just make sure your /system partition is large enough and remember to wipe, you should be fine then too.
