This is how it looks .. note no imgfs and 0 size in fat like vogue.

Searching for IMGFS signature...

edit: ok tried it and so far no brick.. but cant boot since we dont have lzma support on the kernel. i can work on that but i really wanna test it. We need to put the initrd on a diet. right now its 1.6mb which is too big

Looks awesome. I'll be playing with it tomorrow. One way to get the size down a bit would be better referencing the files in sbin since they already exist in bin, but I think LMZA doesn't matter about storing multiple copies of the same file. I was thinking of a ln -s ../bin/adbd and ln -s ../bin/busybox for all the rest of those files if we need to keep .gz. I can test that out tomorrow and see how it works. Still not even sure if we need the sbin folder...

If you are looking for more space by replacing busybox, we can look at toybox or something similar. And maybe a lighter version of adbd?

Edit: Also, good news! In a couple of weeks, I may have a TMOUS TP2 to test with. No data, but that would give me a GSM device with a working USB port to mess around with
