Change-Log RP+ v2.3 > v2.4:
+ New: Add to Auto (DomainSrv). You can now choose to start some patches using DomainSrv and some others using the standard way.
+ New: Fault-Recovery. When the phone is turned on and it crashes due to some bugged patch setted as "Auto", then all the "Auto" patches will be temporary disabled, so you'll be able to turn on the phone and remove the bugged patch.

How to install RP+
There exists 2 different ways to install RomPatcher+ on your device:
1) If your phone has been already hacked to allow installation of unsigned .sis then just install RomPatcherPlus_2.4.sis
2) If your phone has not been hacked yet, you can create and flash a cooked fw following the steps below:
- Download all the original fw files using NaviFirm+ http://www.symabian-toys.com/NaviFirm.aspx
- Open the UDA fw file using NokiaCooker http://www.symabian-toys.com/NokiaCooker.aspx
- Insert the patcher.ldd and patcherShadow.ldd files in c:\sys\bin\ folder and press the Save button.
- Use Phoenix or JAF to flash the modded fw on your phone.
- Eventually, use your DevCert or OpenSigned Online to sign and install the RomPatcherPlus_2.4_LiteVersion.sis


Useful tip for patch-makers:
If your patch uses some features of RP+ v2.4 and above (like ord_rel, ord_snr) I suggest you to include in your patch a check, using the code below:

#ifdef RP+VERSION_2.1
    #define NOT_COMPATIBLE
#endif

#ifdef RP+VERSION_2.2
    #define NOT_COMPATIBLE
#endif

#ifdef RP+VERSION_2.3
    #define NOT_COMPATIBLE
#endif

#ifdef NOT_COMPATIBLE
    error:Please update to RP+ v2.4 or above to use this patch!
#else
    ; your patch code goes here...
    ; your patch code goes here...
    ; your patch code goes here...
    ; your patch code goes here...
#endif
