the system.img is ext format so normally you won't be able to mount it unless you are on Linux or something like that.

Ok lol, I am noob with all this, although I should know by now, been around here long enough.

Nothing wrong with that! Everyone starts somewhere and playing with a new device like the San Diego will teach you a lot of things. Hopefully we'll sort jammybgud out and get him back up an running soon

[jikobutsu]

Hopefully, as it will benefit him and everyone else who ends up in that situation.

really appreciate everything all the guys on here are doing to help out. i have been modding phones for quite some time, however took for granted all the hard work guys like yourselves put into custom roms and the like.
this has got me really interested in what goes on behind the scenes, i want to learn all i can and eventually help out people in my situation. keep up the good work guys

downloading the good one from file factory now, taking some time

[flibblesan]

OK I've finished uploading system.img.zip. Same URL as on the previous page but this isn't corrupt!

[jikobutsu]

Yeah rubbish upload site, but could not find any that take large files for free.


jammybgud, cancel the file factory and download from flibblesan, be a lot faster than filefactory.

What about the flasher @rickywyatt?

The flasher should be able to flash the update.

wont it still flag the missing android-info.txt and android-product.txt?

[jikobutsu]

Not sure on that, but as you said you need to get the update on device, if there is no way to do this, the flasher may the only other option.
The problem is a factory reset will not touch system, which is what you need to remove the driver stopping boot, placed there by chainfire. There may be a way to get flasher working, last time it was used, k800 firmware waa being used, which haa different radio to osd. I dont know if ricky still has flasher.

Bur then you would think the system img would replace system.

still same mate

[rickywyatt]

ok m8 at 6 to test it I'll change a file the flash the system.img to see if it changes the file back

[jikobutsu]

This should work though, chainfire 3d just installs a driver in system, it should not be able to give a hard brick, soft brick yes. Maybe the system.img I uploaded is not good ?
