Guest BeRtjh Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 It won't flash, or you'll end with the bootloop described earlier (nothing impossible to reverse, indeed). Bootloop is generated after flashing the device, so you can't bootloop it before flashing. Thus nothing will happen to his device when GoldCard method isn't done correctly.

Guest BeRtjh Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 well i am trying to boot with the disc ofc, but when inserting it windows just wants to show me th files on the disc not boot anything :S You need to insert the disc, reboot your pc and selecting to boot from the disc instead of the Hard Drive (Usually pressing F8 whilst booting). (Write down the guide before rebooting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theboxman Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I simply don't get the point on why so many guys out there keep struggling with VMs and USB emulation stuff instead of simply burn a CD and insert it into the drive. Perhaps this was not clear enough: you don't need to install Linux on your computer, you can boot it from a Linux LiveCD and actually have Linux up and running without ever touching your hard disk. Just in case. :huh: Yes although it will eliminate the necessity of having a blank CD/DVD around and restarting your computer. The first costs money and time and the second might take ages if you were using windoze - Good old ubuntu is, of course, a different story! I'm going to upload my version of QEMU for those that don't wish to go through the whole burning rebooting process. Should simply be a matter of popping the iso file into the root directory of the zip, calling it current.iso [as I'm too lazy to rewrite the .bat file to point to whatever the exact file name of the new file is or whatever the new-ones may be!] and click it in windows...... Course I haven't tried it....I'm still waiting for definate confirmation that the ROM has both spanish and english languages....If it doesn't has both I can't use it yet :-D However the second that happens my device is getting rooted! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this was not clear enough: you don't need to install Linux on your computer, you can boot it from a Linux LiveCD and actually have Linux up and running without ever touching your hard disk. Just in case. :huh: Simple really. Using a VM means I can keep checking back on this thread for advice ;-) If I had a spare computer i'd just boot the disk. For the Apps2SD install having used the TCL root method do you have to go through the whole Step1 again just to get to that menu or is there a quicker way now that it is rooted? (the guide says Go into recovery via linux (./recovery-linux.sh) which with this method we didn't knowingly do due to the scripts.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to boot with your GoldCard AND the rootedupdate.zip on it (rootedupdate.zip on the root of the microSD, without extracting).
