Innotab 2 Not working after VTech update
#2
I have Ubuntu. I would do it myself, except your instructions are a little vage.

============================================================

Use the latest Spiffy Hack to create a firmware backup or use one you already created when flashing your InnoTab

Only use linux for this. Otherwise things like symlinks could/will break on windows! If you use windows at all to copy the code to or edit any files, you could easily brick your device. ONLY USE LINUX for the whole process.

Take your backup file like 'sdcarda6_backup.bin' and under linux do

unsquashfs sdcarda6_backup.bin

you will then see all the files extracted in the folder 'squashfs-root'
Replace / edit the files you want
To repack, go back so you can see the squashfs-root folder then type:

mksquashfs squashfs-root modifiedfw.bin -all-root -noI

You will now have a file called modifiedfw.bin
Now you have two options..
a) Test the firmware by unmounting the current system partition (you need to have shell access, via a serial adapter and wires soldered to do this) and mount your edited file from the sd card.

OR

b) Flash the firmware by modding one of the flashing scripts (you could just rename your file that of the hacked firmware, and remove the check in the script that looks for RunApp~ and says the firmware has already been patched)

Thanks to iso-mick for the info

(Replace / edit the files you want)
What files do I want to edit to apply this patch?
