Ok, so as many people know clones do not support many of the new images due to bootloader issues! i have been fiddling around with the new pli image (initially with barryallen) and have managed to get it to boot from the flash off of the dm800 clone... so no more CA not found problems!!!!

If there is enough interest i will post this image along with other new images i can get working! I must say before hand, that these images will only work on the later clones with second stage bootloader 72 installed! (i can of course post this aswell for people wit older clones, but your security sim may reject the bootloader!) I will try to get later images to work with bootloader 69, but that may be a while yet....

So all i really want is a yay, or nay with reagrds to clone compatible images being posted!
 
whilst we are on this subject, i like many others have found an image we like and stuck to it...my pli image on my 600(with mr dudes pulse skin) has got to be 2 years old, i will not change it as i like it and have no problems with it...

so i would say how bout when you post images have a few pics or screen shots of the image and how stable it is and what advantages if any it has over other images and how old it is.....

the one thing that confuses me with all these images is are they better than the one im using.? are the skins good.?(or can u use any skin.?)

could we keep a thread just for dm800hd clone images and utils.?
 
yes ruddy, i would really like the image. can i ask what image you are using?
 
The issue with the dm800 clones is that you can only use images of around the same time that the box was manufactured or before! This annoyed me, as i love the pli jade images, but had to use jade 2 which does not have all the latest downloads in the menu! so stable as it may be, i have to use the newer jade 3 as i have a white sky card!

Also if you want to try other images without removing the one you have on your flash, you can install barry allen, and boot images from a usb stick - if you dont like it, remove it, all without affecting the image on your flash ;)
 
so you have a modified version of pli jade 3 .?

ive read that with images you flash the bootloader and image at the same time all contained in 1 file.....

is it running ok .? no crashes etc
 
The images are patched with clone compatible bootloaders! i tried the pli jade from that site... at first i thought it works fine - but there are a few niggles!

When i patched the image downloaded from pli directly, there were no hiccups, and all is running fine! It may just have been a corrupt download from the chinese site, but i doubt it. Anyway, no point working on images that are already patched, and available elsewhere! You can also find some clone images on usenet

Oh wow! So you can use these patched images on the clone?

For example Nabilosat BH 11 on a clone with bootloader 72?

As long as you have a clone that can handle the 72 bootloader, then yes! If you have a clone that can only use 69, then no.
 
cant we just stick everything in 1 thread including images.? it will save signing up to other sites etc
 
Just downloaded the Nabilo blackhole image from that site and installed it. Back up and running already and working great :)
 
hi guys just wanted to ask, i am ordering a clone dm800, it has boot loader 72 but is it worthit since you cant update to latest bootloaders, what would be the way round this, or is it just stick to one image and never change?

that website mentioned above patches images to work with bootloader 72. so i guess it is worth it :)

it wouldn't have bothered me even if i couldnt change the image. the gemini installed image does everything i need anyway.

Would it be possible for you to provide more detail as to how you got the latest PLi image working on your clone 800?
 
Hi ruddyrum, any chance of a copy of your PLi Jade3 image, assume it's for boot 72? Thanks

I tried uploading it last night, but digiworld wont allow files greater than 30mb and even at compressed at its best, its around 36 mb! will try to upload to a file hosting site, but they can take forever!
