HenryJ Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 OK I think I have the 34 files narrowed further...it is one (or more) of the 6 exe files. I'll continue as I find time but it may be just a matter of putting 1 (or more) of the exe files into the APL folder along with the PRG.FLG file into the SDATA partition.

HenryJ Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I don't know what the Z2 partitions look like and if they have the same folder setup as the Z1 but if it does maybe there is a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HenryJ Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 VERY IMPORTANT!!! If anybody tries to replace these files in your Z2 PLEEEEEAS make sure that you have a back up copy or you have a good image to revert to as putting these files into a folder may just delete your original!!!

YzRacer Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Henry, you rock dude! I am on this as soon as I get my IDE adapter to hook my Z2 drive to my computer. Are the files I need included in the bluetooth update package that I downloaded from the forum? Or do I need a complete Z1 image to get all the files? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HenryJ Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 The only files resposible for changing the bypass from "original" Z1 to the "after bluetooth" Z1 is....................."HMIManager" in the APL folder of the PRG1 folder and the "PRG.FLG" that must be placed into the SDATA partition. .....Is it possible to place these appropriatly into the Z2 for success? Â I'm standing by waiting for the teams results as I don't have a Z-2 image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HenryJ Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 To answer your question YzRacer, I don't think you can use the files from the update disc because those files seem to be smaller in file size. They may need to be expanded into the main file on in the program during the install process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YzRacer Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Henry, I hope to have my IDE adapter on Monday or Tuesday and I will try to get started with the unlocking and ripping my Z2 image. Perhaps if you haven't got one from somewhere else, we could trade images......perhaps then we can both have unlocked Z2's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HenryJ Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 YzRacer, Just to let you know, I sent a PM to you including the two files that we should try when you open your Z2 HDD. Let me know if you had recieved them. Â HenryJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YzRacer Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 HenryJ, at first glance it apprears the partitions and folders have the same setup on the Z2. I got my adapter today and unlocked my Z2 drive, and I am in the process of making a backup image. Any recommendation on making the best backup image? I installed Acronis and I am using it now, but it doesn't make a standard .iso file which is what I was wanting. After it's done backing up I am going to disable the drive locking and start experimenting with the files you sent. I feel confident that with any luck I will be rocking a bypassed Z2 by the end of the day. Thanks for all your research and if you PM me your address I will send you my image on DVD's tomorrow.

MPS Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ummmm i want to update my unit to Z2 with ur image please i have a Z1 with blue tooth update Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YzRacer Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Damn, no luck HenryJ, when I put the files you sent on my Z2 it would not boot, it would show the splash screen and then restart over and over. Make sure I got you right, I put the PRG.FLG file in the root of the SDATA partition and I replaced the HMIManager file in my APL folder with the one you sent. I would also like to confirm that the PRG.FLG file you sent me has a size of 0 bytes? Â Mazdaspeed, I offered HenryJ my image as he has provided me with a lot of info and the files to experiment with. This thread is concerning file swapping between the Z1 and Z2, not requests for Z2 images sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This thread is concerning file swapping between the Z1 and Z2, not requests for Z2 images sorry. Â Don't worry Mazdaspeed, when the Z2 is bypassed, someone will post a link to their image for everybody to update their Z1 or bypass their Z2. That's the way things usually work. Or you can go legit like some of us will and pay for the update when it becomes available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HenryJ Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 YzRacer, You could try to put the HMIMGR into both PRGO/APL and PRG1/APL and see what happens??? Yes the PRG.FLG showed 0 but without it the Z1 wouldn't bypass??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MPS Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 i just want the bypased Z2 image please Quote Link to post Share on other sites
