= gfree (by scotty2) = See [http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#How_To_Get_R.2FW_Access_.28Permanent_Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29] for instructions. == gfree version 0.9 contained in gfree_09.zip == Changes: * changed the functionality of the -w (or --disable_wp) option. It is now a yes|no option. Default is yes. {{{ -w | --disable_wp yes|no: disable write protect on eMMC }}} * added the -k (or --disable_kf) option. It is a yes|no option that can be used to turn off (or on) the functionality to remove the kernel filter that prohibits writes to low eMMC areas. Default is yes. {{{ -k | --disable_kf yes|no: remove kernel filter }}} * changed the functionality of the -b (or --hboot) option. It calculates and checks md5sums of the partition 18 before the installation (md5sum #1), of the hboot image (md5sum #2) that is to be installed and of partition 18 after the installation (md5sum #3). If md5sum #1 is equal to md5sum #2 the hboot image is already installed and gfree will skip the installation. The output would be something like: {{{ Backing up current partition 18 and installing specified hboot image... md5sum #1 = 7669ae12dc2faa10ae555a164980efd0 md5sum #2 = 7669ae12dc2faa10ae555a164980efd0 md5sum #1 == md5sum #2 - the hboot image is already installed -> skipping installation }}} If this is not the case gfree will write the hboot image to partition 18 and calculate md5sum #3 after the installation. If md5sum #2 is equal to md5sum #3 the installation was successful and the output would be something like: {{{ Backing up current partition 18 and installing specified hboot image... md5sum #1 = 7669ae12dc2faa10ae555a164980efd0 md5sum #2 = 2ce1bdd5e4c1119ccfcecb938710d742 Backing up partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 to /sdcard/part18backup-1348606912.bin ... Writing image dz_hboot-eng.img to partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 ... md5sum #3 = 2ce1bdd5e4c1119ccfcecb938710d742 md5sum #3 == md5sum #2 - the hboot image was successfully installed -> OK! }}} If md5sum #2 is NOT equal to md5sum #3 the installation was NOT successful and the output would be something like: {{{ ... md5sum #3 != md5sum #2 - the hboot image was NOT successfully installed -> PANIC!!! DO NOT REBOOT and join the IRC channel #G2Root on Freenode for further help!!! }}} == gfree version 0.7 contained in gfree_07.zip == Changes: * added -y (or --recovery) option to install a recovery image file to partition 21. It will create a backup file of your existing partition 21 named /sdcard/part21backup-
