@ -31,15 +31,10 @@ Needs root access in order to write the new EPO.DAT to /data/misc and to adjust
permissions.
Background:
For EPO to work, only the EPO.DAT file is required. The EPO.MD5 is only a
checksum to validate the correctness of the EPO.DAT file after download. In
principle, it is a good idea, to do so. However, in this case, the .MD5
checksum is also a bit the source of the problem: The built-in EPO updater of
the Fairphone (or other Mediatek phones) downloads the two files from an FTP
server from Mediatek. Unfortunately, the .MD5 checksum is often calculated
wrong by Mediatek. Therefore, the check of the .DAT file fails and the 'EPO
update failure' occurs.
