NEW WINDOWS FUNCTIONALITY REVEALED

Create a NORSD empty file in the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic directory with no extension....just NORSD. It can be an empty text file. This will disable RSD mode in the House of Bionic and revert to flashing with moto-fastboot. For those having problems with RSD and need an alternative, this is how you do it. The functionality with moto-fastboot mirrors how the Linux/Mac script works. I've had 2 people test it successfully so far. Neither could use RSD for various reasons.

Newbie instructions for creating the file (sigh):

o) Right click in the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic directory, select New, Text Document. Change the FULL name to NORSD. *NOT* NORSD.txt as that will NOT work.

You mean since 235? No....hadn't noticed.

well i didnt see that in any of the gazillion and 2 posts i read and i jumped from 232 to 247 after i finally couldnt stand it any more. im usually pretty quiet , i just read a lot and then flash after i get all my ducks in a row. and i have time to play which aint often. just wanted to say thanks for the hob samuri.went smooth , and i wouldnt worry too much about them fellers over yonder. theres pissants no matter where ya go , i just piss on em and carry on!

It's in the gazillion and 3RD post. Yea, we noticed that when we went to 235. None of us know exactly why they took it out but it doesn't affect functionality. It's just a new logo.bin they included.

Mac and Linux people. I added a new link in the OP for you guys and gals. I tested it on my 64 bit Ubuntu VM and it works. No idea if it'll work on a Mac or not. It's called InnoExtractor. It'll allow you to extract the ### directories from my update installers. Ordinarily since they're windows only you'd have to use WINE to run it and extract it. However, with the InnoExtractor script, you can download my update installers, run the innoextractor.sh script on it, and it'll extract an app\### directory. Move the ### directory into the LinuxMac_HouseOfBionic directory and you're good to go. You can do the same thing for the FXZ, as well. So if you're trying to get the 247 update, you'd download the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_(247).exe and then run the following command:

./innoextractor /path/to/SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_\(247\).exe

Then you'd have an app folder and inside that would be the 247 folder you move to the root of the LinuxMac_HouseOfBionic directory to add 247 support.

I hope this helps!

Nice... now if the NOOBS will just read it!!

[SamuriHL]

If they don't, they don't get my help. Pretty simple.

[mhous33]

this is too much reading, can't i just pm you if i have a problem?

[SamuriHL]

You can....you just won't like the response you get.

[johnlgalt]

I love the responses you give me....

[johnlgalt]

Good on ya! Now we'll see how many people stop going there lol....

[SamuriHL]

I doubt my absence there will have any impact on their forum. I'll support my HoB users and call it good. If it weren't for the community of HoB users that I've built up over there, I'd already be gone but I don't want to just abandon a whole community. Out of the hundreds of users I've supported, 4 have been a problem. 2 of which later made peace with me. The other 2 are on my "GFY" list.

[SamuriHL]

LMAO Yea, they're always so professional and courteous. LOL

Read my Read Me First file for Matt's Utility for Mac/Linux, then you'll realize how much brevity the Samuri is using. Ah, reading, a lost art replaced by ADD/ADHD. Makes me glad to be bipolar :-).

It's worse than that, though. It's an entire attitude shift. People don't want to take the 5 minutes to read a post that answers all their questions because THEY are special and demand that the answers be given to THEM. Why should they have to bother looking something up? This is the entitlement era. Give me what I want and give it to me NOW. And then they get all huffy when I treat them like the idiots they are. Oh well.

I'm glad you didn't use the "I" word on my thread. I hate when it gets modded out LOL!

Why not a post or saying the same thing on two forums is taking to much time to maintain and ask everyone to move here?
