Oh I did not realize this was a backup dump rather then a modified firmware. I will patch is when I get a chance.

well it is pretty easy to do and anyone could do it. I could most likely create a script that would do it for you and auto patch, but would need to be run on linux with squash commands available.

Maybe when you get some extra time make the script and a tutorial on what to install and how to do it I have some experience in booting Linux from a thumb drive on my windows laptop so if I can do that and I would definitely try it I just don't want to brick my sons innotab.

I simply use Ubuntu inside a Virtual Machine to do my patching from my Windows machine. I did post the steps and commands to do your own patching. Yes it is risky and even it is possible for me to make a mistake which could brick the device. Flashing even with a good firmware is risky though and there have been a few that had a good firmware from the site, but it still bricked. This is possible due to a bad SD card or getting corrupted while copying, incomplete download etc.

Yea there is always a risk. No rush but was wondering if you are going to get time to mod that backup today my son uses it at night and would like to be able to play his games again. If not its ok he can wait lol. Thx

well i was thinking about giving it a try and downloading Ubuntu so i went into your tutorial on how to do it but all it says is the commands on opening and closing the backup you said "Replace / edit the files you want [Image: smile.gif]" i dont know what to do to the files. any chance you will be able to work on v52.50312 today?

Easiest way is to compare a non modded firmware to the modded one and you will see the difference. There have been a few posts about it. The file is called RunOnce or something like that I believe. It is only 1 file to edit.

i was able to unpack the backup in Ubuntu but didnt know what to do after that i will check out that file called RunOnce but what do i do with it? can i just swap the file with a modded file. also I don't have a modded backup to go off of because my sons tablet is already updated (non modded)
