Hi

Please what PATCHED flash actually mean.?

Thanks

bungle_uk · 11-22-2004, 11:03

It can mean 2 things
1. Patched to work with DIV software
2. Patched so you can change the IMEI number of the phone (great for people who deal in stolen phones

)

Hi

Sir bungle_uk thanks for replay.
I was thinking that patched mean posibility to change the IMEI number of the phone but I wasn`t shure.
About compatibility to use with DIV I didn`t know.
Since I have some litle collection of flashes (downloaded from net) I`m not shure if thay will work with DIV.Is there any posibility to check them somehow to see if thay are pached and ready for use with DIV.

Thanks for your time.

Regards

Check the size of the packed and unpacked size of the zip or rar file. If the packed or zipped size is half of the unpacked size then it is patched for Div.

eg Packed size 3.8MB, unpacked size 7.8MB, then flash is patched for Div

Hi

Here it is T610_EMEA2_R1L013.zip = 3,890 Kb
Unpacked T610_EMEA2_R1L013.sbn = 7,071Kb
So that mean it is pached,OK ???
Is that work with all flashes ???

It is strange that DIV could not recognize and don`t warn you when you selecting flash file,isn`t it ???

Thanks

Yep, that flash looks like its patched for Div LPT.

Div LPT is cracked for LPT use, it was never mean't to read both types of flash to start with

Only unpatched flashes for DivUSB

Hi

1. Is there any diference between flash files for DIV 8.4 and DIV Usb.?

2. I just whant to ask why cracked DIV need patched flash.But I supose that you alredy answered.:
Div Usb need patched flash because it is cracked to work with LPT.
And old Div don`t need patched flash because it alredy work with LPT,excapte if you need to change IMEI and etc.

Am I correct ???

I`m realy thansfull because you trying to help me.

No, DivUSB (commercial dongle by Zulea) works without patched flashes. DivLPT (DivUSB cracked by the_laser to work on a LPT dongle) requires patched flashes to work. Now do you understand ??

Don't talk about IMEI changing, I don't agree with it (thats just for thieves to do) !!
