Linux solution to your Windows/RSD lite problems

[C Dippa]

I was thinking that you could probably easily script out a Hard key map as a shortcut. Just press enter or something. Or even cooler. Hold down the keys "S" "B" "F"
Lol. Sorry for that nerd input. You are free to tell me that right clicking is easy enough.. lol.

That made me lol, Wug...I like the S B F idea.

Awesome work on this, 1KDS! I'll give it a test run on XP when I go to the rooted OTA.

I'll leave this one as is, but have an additional one like I described, this way the download file would only be around 35 mb. The one that is posted now will always be available as a one stop SBF flasher though.

Don't do that (IMO). The beauty of this thing is the very fact that it is standalone. Once you start adding external variables like internet, you will have effectively diminish your products main advantage, all while making the entire system more complicated and subject to failure. If you were to actually do that, then I would also recommend considering the implementation of a standalone hash checker... which isn't that hard, but still makes the whole thing more involved then it needs to be.

Keep it entirely self contained.

If you have multiple sbf files then I recommend implementing an init.d script and a short little bash script so that when the disc boots up the user is prompted by a basic menu of options. Press 1 for full sbf (recommended), press 2 for system only...

If you wanted to get really fancy, you could make a boot time animation that was a graphical depiction of a hand connecting the usb plug into the device. Or just some stylized animated text like "connect usb now"... "now choose an option"

I would make a disc like that with all the files, and then also package separate mini releases with just one sbf file each.

Pulling stuff from the server may be cool, but it is subject to too many problems to make it worthwhile... wifi driver incompatibility, lack of Internet all together, weak connection, temporary server failure when you are not around, and more.

Stick to standalone, its the number one reason this thing is the bomb in my opinion.

I'm thinking of tweaking the script so that no sbf file is included, you can just hit 1. for 2.3.15, 2. for 2.3.340 etc then it will dl and flash the file while you crack a cold one.

Can I basque in the warm glow of your epic LOL.
