[Tool] Flash kernel with update.zip

marcellusbe · May 31, 2011

Hi,

This tool unlock bml5 to allow writing of kernel with a simple "dd" command.

You can find also a basic update.zip for CWM that :
- Make backup of the current current
- Flash new kernel

The bmlunlock tool is in kernel_updater.zip.

How to use :
Put your zImage in the update.zip. Then, use CWM and install zip.

This tool was made by Koush (Thank to him

also Thanks to Supercurio for the updater idea.

Is this hard todo? You just have to open the zip(not extract) and replace it with a new zimage.

if u got a BIG /data partition.. u hav to wait for a long.. sumtimes more than 10 mins.. **once i waited for ~20 mins..

**** ur sd card must hav enough space to backup the partition files & do the conversion & restore the backup.. otherwise ur phone will b SOFTLY BRICKED..!!
