It won't install. Loader.exe doesn't find the OS, and neither does DM. Is that what "no DRM" means? I know we had this before with one of the leaks, but I've forgotten when we need to do.
Can someone elaborate on what the drm means? Can us Vodafone users not install a non drm firmware? I know I couldn't install the non drm .402.
Is it something t do with that silly Vodafone music app that nobody uses?

It's purely tricking the DM into thinking it's installing .402
But after being ok since last night, my phones just restarted itself and now is coming up with all sorts of errors so I would suggest that you don't try to do it with this one. Lol
Lets say you previously installed .402. Once DM/loader has validated the installation files, it copies them to a temporary directory on your hard drive before sending them to your phone.
So if you then delete the .402 files and replace them with the .428 files, DM/loader will still see that the files are invalid and ignore them. However it will still offer you to install .402, because it has them cached in the temporary directory.
So although you think you have conned it, you are actually only re-installing .402.
That is my theory anyway, until someone can produce a legitimate screen grab of the about screen showing otherwise. DRM would not be of much use, if it was that easy to crack.
did anyone succeed in installing this OS? i could install using this 402 trick however now my phone lost the GUI. i have a plain text white screen and no graphic user interface at all!! any hints?
Doing this 'trick' will NOT update the operating system, just the application layer. The platform remains untouched at 4.2.0.171 rather than 4.2.0.182 like it should be.
What you may find now is that because you have only updated the application layer the applications may start to get pretty buggy as they are making calls on the OS that it doesn't understand.
