This is the Stock Minix Pre-010 ROM in a flashable format.
Nothing has been changed!
Because 009 and Pre-010 are update.zip files not full ROMs, I decided we needed a flashable stock Pre-010 ROM. Why? Because if you ever want to test other ROMs to go back to Pre-010 you have to use CWM or flash 008, update to 009, then update to Pre-010.
Pain in the ass!
Well to do it right this is what you have to do. Anything else can leave /data shit you don't want!
E.G. IT'S NOT clean!!!! I do not like update.zip updates! It is not clean and can leave you with bugs from the previous releases in /data and Dalvick.
Also having a complete Pre-010 flashable ROM allows you to fully erase and flash so you KNOW you have a clean install!
How did I make this you ask?
1) I erased and flashed 008
2) Without doing ANYTHING that could change something, I updated to 009 using the zip.
3) Then updated to Pre-010 same as 009.
4) Then using the RK 2.1 tool I dumped all the paritions.
5) Then to reduce wasted file size space I properly trimmed the .img files to the used length.
So you know dumping dumps RAW the full parition. So for instance recovery partition is 32 Megs RAW.
But only 13 Megs of it are really used and the rest is EMPTY.
With a RAW dump you would flash the empty parts too.
Not needed and make Download too big as well as flash time.
6) Then I put all the parts together and made a flashable ROM.
PLEASE NOTE. There is no kernel.img because the kernel is inside boot.img on the stock ROM!
Thus you wont be able to flash any seperate kernel.img images on the stock ROM.
When kernel is in boot, it is always used vs kernel.img
Thus in the flashtool kernel.img is unchecked. If you check it, you will get an error!
So there you have it.
A stock Pre-010 flashable ROM so you can quickly get a CLEAN Pre-010 installed.
For instructions to flash this, see one of my other ROMs.
I expect you know what your doing if your using this so there ARE no instructions inside the download!
P.S. later I will make a Finless ROM 1.9 from this.
That is if anyone cares enough to have one due to all the other nice X7 ROMs out now.
Oh but wait... There's more!
More you say Bob? Hell yes
Below is also a update package I made that will root the stock firmware!
Yes, it's an update.zip NOT something you flash! Instructions are inside the zip.
Read them and use it if you want full root on 010 firmware.
