i tried to find these information but couldn't.
with fb3 and above, i can kind of figure out how to use it. but i have rokr, i often see the instruction to patch offline. what does that mean? and how it can be done?
finally, how to make your own patch

Patch offline. Means apply patch to firmware first and then flash it like that. Can be done in F&B 3.0.5 and above...(i dunno for earlier versions)


Making your patches. You can make custom patches for lock/unlock and splash screen.. Dont know what you were asking...?

i selected patch and hit quick flash, it didn't seem to do anything

the last question i mean how is .fpa file made?

Don't choose quick flash, but save as.
Than flash to ur phone.
Maybe made using notepad that written some address and hex value.
But I really wanna know, where the patchmaker found the addrees and the value?
Sorry for my stupid question.

thanks you guys!
what does remove rsa verification mean? do you need to check that?

Maybe, Remove RSA is something like unlock the protection so we can applying the patch.
U need to check that for first time on unpatch FW/clean FW.
CMIIW.

you know in fb 3.0.6 you can automatically create undo, where are they located after they are created?

Something like that, yes. Bear in mind that all r373 firmwares for E398 allready have RSA removed. But ROKR firmwares dont - thats why you cant patch a ROKR online...

i disagree with you niks..
i always do patch online in my rokr e1 (non-downgraded) with fb. 3.0.6. no problem at all

@ badguy
the undopatch will create automatically and stored in same folder with your patch file path ;)

@niksy
by all firmwares you mean all the stock and mod firmwares? as long as they are for rokr, you have to remove rsa every single time?
thanks

@farkzlay
i guess that is one of those things that works for some people but doesn't work for the other
i have tried to patch online, i got a sig error afterward
patch undo will be created even if it's patched offline right?
thanks

Yes stock ROKR firrmwares all have RSA...

@farkzplay I dont know on what you dissagree... When I say online patch I mean the way we do it in F&B 2.62... Firmwares with RSA dont allow firmware changes like that... Only if you patch it first - then flash it...

really?
i really dont know guys. :-/
i've fb 3.0.6 so i never tried on fb.2.62. i dont know if rokr cant do patch online on there.

in my fb i just provide my firmware, applying some patch and click quick flash, never get a sig error.

@ niks
i dont know if there any differences between fb 2 an fb 3. because i always patching my rokr e1 when my phone is on.

@ badguy
uncheck 'automatically create undo for patches' then you not get the undo patch

Thats offline patching (the stuff I bolded) :)

@Badguy is created only if you checked that box. Its in the same place like original patch only with _UNDO added to its name :)

You can apply "online" patch if your phone has 07.D0 or lower bootloader: go to "Other features" in FB3, select "Generic for phones with boot ver. up to 07.D0" phone profile and new menu item in the left will appear called "Patches". I think depending on this it is not firmwares and not RSA, but loader fault that you can't do online patching and do full backups (32MB).

I have 3.0.6 and that Patches tab doesnt appear :-|

Try 3.0.7. Here's image: (http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/5530/useloaderbyarchymj5.th.png) (http://img181.imageshack.us/my.php?image=useloaderbyarchymj5.png)

i own E1ROKR with BL 0A.02 (original).
it can be patched online with the help of FB 3.06.
when you flash E1ROKR with removed RSA firmware, then you can do online patching.
if you only have FB 2.62, use loader from FB 3.06 to patch online.

and for fullbackup with FB (in BIN format, as it fullbackup with PDS), it cannot be done.
i think it's because BL 0A.02 restrict, so FB cannot backup PDS area.
