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

holy s***... 207MB? what do they put in these things?

Downloading, will post in flashable stock ROMs thread shortly

Ok, my bad. Thanks for the info. Can you explain a little more ? We can re-enable the Menu + Volume '+' + Power button trick ?

Yes, a full bag of useless craps apps.

Anyway, here's the ROM build.prop info:

# begin build properties

Don't know if it's could help.

built on the 26th April 2011?

they held on to it for 2 months for no known reason?

[hedgepigdaniel]

It would appear that this flasher works differently to the other ones. no C:\Windows\sysdy\

[Shieraz Shah]

definitely looking into this if it fixes sip bug and makes battery usable.

It probably took them that long to make the flasher shiny and nice

did you get that by flashing or did you manage to extract the files?

And make sure they filled it with as much crapware as possible!

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 ?

[ayziaa]

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???

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.

Thanks for the informations!
Is it gonna give something more to have this official 2.2, knowing that there are allready official roms from other country?

So all that hype about Orange releasing a UK android update for the SanFran, was actually for the french blades!

[CaptainSpectacular]

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.
