Post 2.2 update.zip?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it will matter. Unless I'm being a total idiot, those updates update the firmware based on what's expected to be there knowing what the last version was, and so an update.zip can't update a version it's not intended for.

I'm somewhat speculating based on my understanding of how OTA updating works, the update.zip file might behave differently.

This is my understanding too... And like the previous mentioned, SBF is very easy to do.

I tried the rootzwiki the linux way, I have a mac so i figured it was the same...It all worked until it asked me for a password. I guess it doesnt work on macs I read though....so I guess I will need a windows or linux machine, please correct me if I am wrong
