If it is a simple BIOS, just imagine the possibilities, would be able to change boot order from internal flash to external SD.

[Guest rickywyatt]

yep btw your xml crashes the program it wont flash without the IFWI being fashed first

[Guest ben1066]

That's unfortunately not possible I don't think. It uses something called "droidboot" as referenced in the repo manifest.

[Guest ben1066]

Does the program leave any log? You can download from mediafire right? I'll try and make a working XML using our IFWI.

does that mean we have bypassed the locked bootloader?

EDIT : does that mean *you've* bypassed the locked bootloader?

Please tell me it fully worked and you are now on ics desktop?

If it works, it means the OSD/X900 gets everything it deserves, shame on you orange.

[Guest shootomanUK]

the chinese guys said that you need Visual C++ Redistributables for the flasher to work.........could it be something to do with it ?

[Guest]

I remember needing that when i had skate and was changing nvitem with some tool

[Guest ben1066]

That's useful, it reveals that all it is is another fastboot mode :) Could you boot into that again and try running fastboot oem h

Edited July 29, 2012 by ben1066

[Guest ben1066]

In addition could you try fastboot getvar all

[Guest shootomanUK]

In addition could you try fastboot getvar all

i think i done that before and it was 0.5 if im not mistaken

[Guest ben1066]

Eh what? There should be more than one value :) Also, I think I've found the origin of these commands, it appears to be attempting to repartition the system partition, I don't think we need to.

In the same directory as the flasher try replacing AndroidFlash.xml with the following:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<fastboot>

<command id="10">

  <string>flash /tmp/modem.fls $modemfw_file</string>

</command>

<command id="11">

  <string>oem system "loadfw_modem.sh /tmp/modem.fls"</string>

</command>

<command id="2">
