Essentially, it seems to install a custom build of FFOS that unlocks the device to allow adb to connect to it. I tried adb before flashing and it just didn't recognise any devices.
Apart from that, it would appear using this image disables automated updating from the Open C's built-in Software Updater. Every time after rebooting, the following error message is displayed on reboot. E:failed to verify whole=file signature E:signature verification failed Package corrupt. Update failed. Not sure if this means the normal updates are incompatible with the unlocked image. Anyway, that's my experience. *--Bitmessage <http://bitmessage.org/> me* *BM-2D97QV3Y4VRfjayrWahqE61XKuQw6dJvj6* On 28 May 2014 20:08, Robey Pointer <robeypoin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Does anyone know what this tool does?
