Wink Shani Funprom Format Error

Hi

I'm trying to use the shani funcard temp fix for ntl pure as flash using funprom, a cheap progger and a funcard 4, it produces a format error. I've used other flash images in the past with no probs.

I don't think I'll be investing in a better progger anytime soon as I suspect we'll all be stuffed pretty soon with the advent of N3 , but it would be nice to have a swan song between today's 3_7 update (Harlow / Bishops Stortford) and N3.


Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Yep, but I've found a fix:

For those who are exeriencing simular 'Format Error' issues with Funprom, simply open the shani flash file in a hex editor and remove the first line of code:

:020000020000FC
:0600000010C018951895D0
:10000E000F93B69B04C007EF02BF0F91189500E047
:10001E0003BF7AC0479A00270BBF05BF00E009BF98
:10002E00C29ABA9AD0E0C0E60993C036E8F3D2304D
:10003E00D8F300E40093EF0000E20093F10000E03B
:10004E000093F200C69ABE980FE50DBF02E00EBFF8

Save as hex, open in Funprom and hey presto!
