Sorry to be such a newb but ive been searching the boards, archive, and wiki for this. Can someone give me a link for that bootloader that prevents autobricker by like Art or Uart or someone? Sorry to be so vague but this is all i remember about it.
 
uart us a cable i do belive (could be wrong) u might be thinking of uboot whick is the app used to upgrade the firmware you could on about nand lock if u have cramfs installed that should do the trick
also speedyboots :D

hope this helps

(someone please correct me if im wrong thanks

i was able to do it, so i'll put in my two cents: art's uboot is not that much faster than the standard one. there are other advantages to having it, but if you are not a developer (and a low level one at that) than you probably won't use or see the extra functionality.

so if you're looking to do it just to shave off some boot time, i wouldn't take the risk...maybe you'll gain a second or so. worst case scenario, however, is that you brick the unit.

also, a word of advice for people doing it...follow the instructions on richard's site for best result (that is, flash his custom kernel then use that to flash the uboot, then drop a regular kernel back in). and when you do this your gp2x may "hang" on some or all of the steps...but everything still installed fine for me, so i have a feeling it's just that the custom flasher doesn't reboot for you, and obviously at some points there's no kernel to go back to.

anyway just be careful.
 
I am still trying to get hold of a SD card that does the firmware flash :(
 
i mainly just wanted to d/l to prevent autobrick because i heard it does that...thanks for the link craigix.
Is it worth it to try if i just want to disable autobrick?
