Theres no simple tool that will allow you to do this that I'm aware off.

You can " view" images with tux flash tools, but any attempt to edit the image and then load onto dbox will result in Kein System !!

Frederick is correct- this is NOT possible! Can we assume that you are first Un-RARing the sp1 and sp2 archives that you've downloaded?

And are you following exactly the instructions given in install.txt in each archive?

Next- if you're unable to FTP a straightforward file overwrite, for example, /bin/miniops in sp1 - then it's likely that your Image has gone 'Read-Only' - so you'll need to reflash with your backup image. FTP this to the /tmp folder, then reflash with the 'Flash w/o Bootloader' option in the Service Menus.

Cheers- AL

I do have a c11 image I backed up after I did a fresh install. It has SP1, SP2 and the new locale file. The only setting changed is the network settings so I could ftp and telnet into it. ^_^ (not uploaded though, just a file on my PC)

Also the c11 laid bare image has these updates already in it, just has less other stuff in it. ^_^ c11LB
