How to create FreeBOOT dash 12625 for Cygnos v2

[JPizzle 0]

I spent a long time messing with this... longer, admittedly, than it should have taken me lol. But, here's for anyone else having problems installing the latest dash to their Cygnos v2 JTAG!!

Here are the required tools:

• -Cygnos toolbox latest, which is available here: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
• -fbbuild .2 w/ all necessary dash files: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

First thing is first. This is written assuming that you've already gotten your original nand image backed up, and are working with a cygnos converted freeboot image now, as in that is what you HAVE installed, and want to replace (eg 12611). Also written assuming you already have your cygnos windows drivers installed. There are tutorials already out there for that.

Preliminary stuff:

Once you've un-rared fbbuild v0.20.rar, go to the folder inside titled 'mydata' and open the cpukey.txt file. Replace the digits at the top with your cpu key.

Have your freeboot (or otherwise cygnos-patched/confirmed working image)on hand.

Now, the good stuff:

• -Plug power into your cygnos jtag, but do not turn it on. Make sure you flip the cygnos switch off, then on again for caution's sake.
• -Plug the USB from your cygnos into the computer
• -Launch Cygnos Toolbox
• -Select the "Extract Sections" tab. In the top box, "Image," navigate to your pre-existing freeboot image. Now, extract your kv as kv.bin and your SMC config as config.bin
• -Select the "Patch SMC" tab.
• -Again, navigate to your freeboot image, then extract your smc as smc.bin
• -Now, go back into your fbbuild folder. In my data, place all those files (kv.bin , smc.bin , and config.bin) in that directory.
• -Open a command window in the folder containing fbbuild.exe
• -In the command prompt, follow this example (as in the ibuild readme):

fbbuild.exe -c falcon -d mydata myfalconout.bin

-c falcon = use falcon bl and patch set

-d mydata = a folder is present called "mydata" with per machine

files

myfalconout.bin = the file that will be produced

BUT!!! add the following operand to the end of your command: -f 12625

For example:fbbuild.exe -c falcon -d mydata -f 12625 myfalconout.bin

• -Let it build. Flash with cygnos toolbox. Enjoy!

I know... nothing ground breaking. But, hopefully it will help someone.
