HOw to flash with less than 50% battery life?
 

Is there a way to bypass the annoying check that RUU does to ensure that your battery >= 50%?

Re: HOw to flash with less than 50% battery life?
 

yeah if you start up in bootloader mode.

hold down the power key, and camera key, while holding down these 2 buttons, press your stylus into the reset hole. This will load up in a try color screen, and then RUU wont ask for it being 50% or anything,

I personally flash from SD, there are no checks and it is a lot faster than RUU. Just name the image you want to flash VOGUIMG.nbh and hold the camera button and the power button (if the phone is on, you will have to press the soft reset button, otherwise as long as you hold both buttons, it should load up the 3 color screen). I have about 3 nbh files on my SD card...the original ROM, the one I built (still tweaking), and a custom one I like. I havent had it delete my SD card yet and probably reflash every day...so that is my opinion and Ive flashed with as little as 30% battery life, and even 0% but that was because there was an error with the battery file (meaning it actually had more life than 0%, but it would only show 0%...dont know how many people have had that problem, but it is annoying)

Of course, you have to get the file on to the SD card. So, while the flash process may be quicker, if you add in the time to copy the file to the SD card, the RUU method is quicker.

One of the many advantages to having the image on the SD card is that you can experiment with other ROMs by flashing via RUU and always get back to your rom of choice by flashing it from SD.

Umm...I'll own up to that one. Er I released a rom once that had 0% battery. Caused by no battery.dll in the rom. I was trying some new rom tricks to help with all those duplicates. Some you can copy, some you can't....
