[Instructions] How to use Dropbox and a file manager to flash a zip

[ssethv]

I am running dasBAMF 1.6.3 Remix, and there are a TON of mods to choose from.... I wanted to flash 2 new mods for the ROM, but realized I didn't have my USB cable with me.... What I did was DL both Zip files and placed them in my Dropbox on my computer. within a few mins they were available on my phones Dropbox. I selected and Downloaded them to my phone. Then I went into my file manager (Super Manager app), others may use Root explorer. I then moved them to an appropriate folder, went into ROM manager and flashed as normal. This also worked for a different radio that I flashed too just thought people would like another option if they forgot their cable.

...IF you are flashing a new radio, and it works, don't forget to delete it from the Root of your SD card immediately after you know it is good and works for you!!!

I've done the same thing as well. Dropbox is definitely an essential app to have.

As a shameless plug, here is my referral link for anyone who still doesn't have a dropbox account:

If you use my link, both of us get an extra 250MB of space on top of the already free 2GB

To be honest, I probably wouldn't have posted it if you had, didn't want to step on anyone's toes. Hopefully we can each get a referral bonus or two...

But I'll go on record and just tell anyone reading this post to go ahead and click on SSETHV's referral link in the OP if you're interested in setting up a Drop Box account.

This is great especially since the GB BAMF roms have had trouble connecting through USB this could come quite in handy.

I use dropbox heavily for lots of things also. You do know that you can install mods/roms/etc directly to your phone if you'd like instead of the usb or dropbox methods? You can verify md5sum via the file manager on the phone before flashing

And how besides Dropbox, USB cable, or the actual browser on your phone do you get the ROM onto your phone SD...

I only posted this as another alternative for peeps to feed their addiction to flashing when they have no cable with them.

I wasn't bashing you. Sorry if it came off that way. I just threw that out in case someone thought that was the only way. The method you listed actually saved me before.

I know you weren't bashing me, but I guess I left out a question mark... Were you referring to using the browser instead of dropbox or a usb cable? I guess I'm just confused by your comment

Pretty sure that's what he meant...that you can actually download the file from your phone's browser...

I think your right... it was just worded differently
