ballubas said:

this way is using cmd the other way is using flash tool?!

Sent from my X10 using XDA App

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

it works and is now implemented in FlashTool

UPDATE

added v4 of toolkit, with newest zergRush binary (21 Nov 2011) and few corrections/additions to script

the script will now:

1. check/correct temporary directory
2. verify if there is adequate free space on /system, if enough free space is not found >6MB then the script will delete Google Maps (Maps.apk) [thanks to ChainFire for the tip in MobileODIN ], u can later install latest Google Maps from Market...

this toolkit should now work on ZTE Warp...

this may not work on the newest firmwares released by device vendors...


if ur device is already rooted dont bother with this... if the devices is not yet rooted please try it out and kindly report if it worked for ur device...


regards,

DooMLoRD
