Still battling onward through the fog....
In RomKeeper, I "fetched" the beta pre zip flashed fine in drews old CWMT recovery, but not in his new Cannibal, that I reported the issues on the asserts.
In RomKeeper, it shows the nightly as a zip, so I "fetched" it as well. It flashed fine in drews new Cannibal so the asserts are changed.
Note the screenshots below.
The beta pre zip and the nightly zip are slightly different sizes. (?) Maybe the diff is not getting applied in RomKeeper for the LS670 build and that is why one will flash in drews thunderc recovery and the other will not? Might be just a w.a.g. on my part there.
That looks good. Except for the nightly saying it's not present when it actually is.
The sizes for beta1pre1 and nightly are indeed slightly different, so you're good there.
