Re: unpack firmware
 
It's possible to pack your own firmware images without any keys - the caveat is that flashing them will put your phone into open mode no matter what starting with the PR1.2 bootloader version.

The procedure is to:

  • Unpack FIASCO image using flasher 3.5
  • Unpack sparse image (rootfs.jffs2) using unlzo.py
  • Mount rootfs image as an ext4 loopback device
  • Do what you'd like
  • Unmount rootfs
  • Repack sparse image using sparsify.py
  • Build FIASCO image from sparse image and layout file using fiasco-gen
  • Flash FIASCO image to device using flasher 3.12.1

It isn't very easy to do, and most of those steps have to be done from a Linux system. Also, realistically, it isn't all that useful - though I released sparsify hoping that someone would do it anyway. :p If you really want to pack a custom image I'd help out with more info.

Edit: On second thought, one potential use would be for quick deployment of NITDroid, but IIRC e-yes wasn't too interested in this.

it's not necessary for nitdroid, deb package much better for installing and upgrade.
and in my opinion customs for MeeGo is evil. it's linux, we always can do what we need without reflashing.

Only potential i see: dd mmcblk0p2 and then pack it to fiasco - good backup system :)

Can you help me with repacking sparse image using sparsify.py?
I don't know how to repack it.
And I think I gonna make it after this process!

Why not just :

apt-get install -d swype-keyboard=version-from-pr1.1

???
