I've seen complaints about 7/24, but it should be possible to flash just the kernel from 7/24 and leave the rest of 7/18 alone. If anyone is interested I can write up instructions.

might as well. So sayeth the mad mod.

At your own risk as always, but the worst that should happen is that it refuses to flash. Unzip 7/24 firmware zip file to somewhere.Copy "fuse" and "kernel" to adb dir.From command prompt:adb push fuse /data/adb push kernel /data/adb shell#cd /data/#chmod 777 /data/fuse#./fuse kernel kernel(you should get some messages here about the kernel flashing)#rm fuse#rm kernel#reboot(From memory when I have done this before, hopefully I got it all right.

OK, got my new Novel after two exchanges & updated to 7_18. My old one was at 7_24 & I liked it at full speed, so is the above procedure approved for noob use? I know you said that it would just not flash, but you also said that you "hopefully got it right". Anyone try this? & lived?

/bumpIs this approved for noobs or is this method of doing things abandoned in favor of a fully working FroyoEclair build from the development forum subsection once that has gelled completely? Sorry to bump such an old thread but I recalled wondering about it back when it was gtoing on and waiting to see if there would be updates... So now I'm asking--any updates on this?--bornagainpenguin

Just what exactly is Fuse doing and where can we find more information about it? If I may ask...

There isn't, really, it's proprietary. A user in the dev forum discovered PD tacks on a standard uboot header to many of the flash files for no really good reason. Fuse appears to be the traditional google "flash_image" program (which you can probably google), plus an additional bit of code that strips off the header and runs a CRC check before executing the guts of "flash_image".
