OK two things.
1) Hard-SPL flash worked fine, tested on 2 devices (thanks conflipper+drellisdee) and I will do the final Hard-SPL files by tomorrow. I'll post here when that's ready for a last formal test. do not nag testers for any files until then, they are far from final (not all features included in HardSPL).
2) can the people who know how to use mtty, do the following check:
enter bootloader and do "info 8"? and if the result does NOT show "samsung_kby00n00hm" for DEVICE NAME, then PLEASE post the different DEVICE NAME here! this is just in case there are imagios with a different nand version (my code should handle that, but I like to check things out properly). thanks!
