Will definitely save me some time, thank you!

Patiently waiting on the uploads ;)

Also, is there any difference between flashing your zip compared to updating through flashtool?

That's why I'm doin' it, time saver ! :D


Hmpf, 7 hours to upload a zip, and I uploaded first an E6833, I should start with xx53, nevermind.

The first zip's I'll upload will only be composed to system.sin file, compared to Flashtool who flash a whole firmware (fota-kernel, userdata, OEM etc. Ok you can choose to exclude some files xD)

Until userdata is not included it means you do not have to wipe anything before flashing, well I guess :p


My futur challenge is to propose a pre-rooted firmware (automaticly flash SuperSu ^^)

Hello, on my E6883 when I try to flash the 6833 fw.zip, it says "E:Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file." Thus bringing and error to flashing the zip. What could be the problem? I redownloaded it to see if maybe the zip was corrupt but when flashing it again it brought up the same problem. Thanks for the help in advance!
