Q. How safe is this?
It's as safe as it can get without someone being physically present to ensure that you do everything right. If you follow the instructions, this is very safe.
Here is what makes it safe:
- Ample, easy-to-follow instructions.
- Dynamic checks to ensure previous steps completed properly & device is exactly as it needs to be.
- MD5sum checking for downloaded files before flashing.
- If anything fails, it is retried. If it fails constantly, then all changes are undone & error messages are shown.
- Regular updates with new features.
- Immediate bug fixes when reported.
- Dedicated real-time support on IRC (#kgs1992 on Freenode network).
Q. Why did you make this?
Of course, it was intended to be helpful to newbies to S-OFF & flash their phones and also serve as a good example for making a completly n00b-proof toolkit for anyone who wanted to make one.
Started off as wanting to learn something new. Helped me learn not only how to write batch scripts but by extension I learnt many more things & also more about the phone.
Q. Where can I find support?
If you find yourself in need of help with using this, you can find real-time support on IRC (
#kgs1992 on Freenode network). [Please note that as the single person maintaining this project, it is difficult to be online & answer questions 24/7. You might have to wait a while at times.]
Q. Will you make this for more devices in the future?
If I get enough requests. Requests can be made using the feedback form on
this page.
Q. Will you make this for a different platform (Linux/Mac)?
If I have the time, I may. But this probably isn't going to happen.
