Guest xzyk Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 can i just overlay the r3 on top of my existing r2 superboot ? or do i need to remove the r2 first ? thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ahay Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 The orange logo is part of the system. That will be removed in the next rom update. edit: just noticed to my amusement that the green android moves ever so slightly a couple of pixels to the right during boot. I guess the android logo in the boot.img isn't completely centred. Ahh well it must have updated im a noob with this android stuff i thought it changed the logo as it says "Reverted 'Orange' logo to Android logo (from V880 dump) on the r3 release info" It did say writing boot.... okay so ill assume its worked :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems OK for me now but I only left the phone for 20minutes. I'll leave it longer and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest randal24 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Sweet, I'll update the phone in a minute and see how I get on. What's your screen timeout set to out of interest? (P.S Dang, joined in 2006 and I'm still considered a newbie. Can I get my status changer to "lurker" please? :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Note: From Superboot r3 onwards, the 'Orange Square' is replaced by the Android dude, so be aware there will be a slight difference with the video process. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest randal24 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 So when I'm r3-ing, is it recommended that I r3 SuperBoot and ROM together as per the procedure on P1? Even if I'm already running r2 SuperBoot? (Guessing so as the the SB changes the boot logo?) Forgive my ignorance, just getting my head around how all this works!

Guest anything-but Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Just loaded R3 onto the card and flashed no probs (loving the MoDaCo logo!) using the R2 superboot here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 My advice would be 'always run the latest superboot'. :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway to confirm if the new fastboot has actually been applied properly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bouncer5 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Hmmmm, it would appear I need help, Cannout figure out what im doing :S Usuing ubuntu 10.04, Not understanding the instructions of open a terminal in the same directory, Help will be greatly appreciated! Someone care to talk me through it over the phone!? :S Edited October 4, 2010 by Bouncer5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveMac Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Sorry if this is a noob question, but am I right in thinking that as I have the r2 Superboot package downloaded already, all I need from the r3 Superboot download is the new r3 Disc Image file??? I want the latest r3 rom, so taking Paul's advice about using the latest releases possible, I thought I'd try to do things properly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone care to talk me through it over the phone!? :S Download and extract the fastboot zip to a folder inside your home directory, which should be your username. Download the superboot image and move it into the same folder containing the fastboot files. Open the terminal then change directory into the folder containing the fastboot. Example if you called this 'fastboot' then you need to do 'cd fastboot' to change into this folder. Then put the phone into fastboot mode then do 'fastboot-linux flash boot boot.blade.superboot.mcri.r3.img' and you should see on the screen some output. Once it has flashed the image type 'fastboot-linux reboot; and the phone will reboot after a few seconds. Then you can follow the guide for installing the custom rom image.
