It's an old G4 that was going to the trash anyway so I'm willing to take risks. I've tried my luck in all the windows software and nothing. I really want to try and flash a fresh kdz
So in order to start SALT with --experimental I have to run it from command ? Sorry, not used to linux...
open a terminal (square black icon in the panel)
type:
sudo ./programs/SALT/salt --experimental
but beware even when there is a "KDZ flash" button this is not yet fully implemented. you
have to use "flash folder" instead. the reason is that when choosing kdz flashing with LGup not all partitions get flashed. e.g.
do
not flash:
- misc
- encrypt
- devinfo
there might be more but I hadnt had the time to look into that.
basically - when unlocked - the only thing needed to upgrade a device's firmware is
- the bootloader stack
- system
- boot
- modem
when your device is locked then you need to flash laf as well but this might prevent using SALT flashing once rebooted.
so my recommendation is to unlock the device first (if not done already), then take a SALT backup, then flash just the bl stack + system + boot + modem as mentioned.
