Compiling Bootloaders (H10 5g MTP ver)

(1/2) > >>

007quick:
Hello, I just saw that some new stuff was added to the bootloader for my H10 5g but I find that I can't download an updated one off the website. Are the bootloaders not compiled every day like the daily versions? If they are one might want to put it under extras or something.
But anyways I tried to compile my own but am probably doing something wrong. I do the ../tools/configure and hit 15 (H10 5g) and it makes a make file.
Then I hit make.
Then it makes.
I then take the H10.mi4 file that it creates and replace it on my h10.
This is were the error comes in. It gives the famous "System file missing" error.
What am I doing wrong?
Do I have to make a zip like I do for the normal builds?
Do I have to make an install?
Thanks ???

We don't make bootloaders part of the daily because on some players a bad bootloader can permanently disable the player. Because of this, and because bootloaders handle hardware initialization anyway, we like to have an "Official" version of the bootloader as the recommended download, so we make new version of bootloaders available from time to time, rather than having a daily download.

007quick:
Sounds like a good reason but if I want to make my own, how would I compile it? There are no guides that I could find about compiling bootloaders which is why I am asking.

Llorean:
Usually, just choosing the Bootloader build option is enough, but I don't have any first hand experience with the H10, so I don't know what hurdles exist for it. It could just be that the current state of the code results in a bootloader that doesn't work, I really don't know.

007quick:
Ok, I will have to wait then for someone with experience with the H10, becasue I have tried to just choose bootloader, but it didn't work. Thanks for the help so far!
