Z1 newbie Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 no that ebay stuff is fake I disagree!! Most of it is excellent and this one is probably one of the good ones judging by the repeat business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have my hands on a virgin Z3 HD that came from a local retail store (NOT ebay). I have it unlocked and backing up now. I will upload it to Hyperite's FTP (with his permission) today. Here is some info that I have found: 4 partiions (exact same size as Z1 and Z2) It is a 40gb Toshiba vs the 30gb that came in the Z1 and Z2. 17.52gb for maps 572.8mb for system files 9.308gb for music 572.8 for personal files The file structure appears to be identical to the Z1 and Z2. I will be testing to see if I can restore only the maps and system files onto my existing drive as I did before, and this would preserve my music library and personal phonebook, etc. All while still updating the system files to the Z3 OS and maps to 2008. More to follow. Please do not PM me for a copy of this image. It will be posted so that everyone has access. I'll post more later today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperite Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Permission granted and PM sent. I'll pull it down to a nice safe place everybody can access and post a new thread when that happens. Shouldn't be long now, folks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
septicdeath Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Ouch, that is gonna take awhile. Good luck with the upload! Hopefully you have a good pipe to upload it through. 5GB over cable modem is about 24 hours. Thanks for sharing the image. Getting a little over 500 KBS (hit or miss). We'll see how much smack I get from our network admin. They have me limited at 250 per connection, but I've got 2 machines going at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

septicdeath Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 You want me to stop, I dont see why to do this more than once. I do have the image, and about 40% of it up on megaupload. I was waiting to here from ya, if you want me to upload it to your ftp, send me the info, like I said. I have the tib, and it rar'd into 498 mb chunks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pmason718 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Should we upload this on more than one ftp? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MPS Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 it may be a good plan not sure if Hypes FTP can take that much abuse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jojogrosso Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have successfully restored the Z3 maps and service data partitions without loosing the music library, personal settings, and phonebook. I am now uploading the the entire vz3 virgin image peices to hypertite's ftp server. It is almost 10gb, and will take about 20 hours to complete. So is this image of the actual z3 image or is it just pieces to keep all the music & phonebook? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 It is a full Z3 virgin drive image (all 4 partitions) from an actual z3 40gb toshiba drive. The partitions only use 30gb of the 40gb drive, so the image will fit perfectly on a Z1 or Z2 drive. When I stated "pieces" on my previous email, it is becuase I had acronis break the tib into 700mb "pieces". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jojogrosso Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Excellent..can't wait to try it on my z2 hard drive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
