Hey guys
I am really wanting to install open 2x on my F200 but have no psu How risky is the process with 2500mah rechargeables
Thanks for any help!
 
It's not really very risky. Open2x don't change the bootloader, so a brick is improbably. Just load your rechargeables and go for it.

BTW: I flashed my F-100 at least 50 times without psu, my F-200 ca. 30 times without problems...

Regards,
Stephan

What do you think of it? Does it boot faster? Did anything stop working? Is it as power hungry as the original firmware? Once the screen turns green, the power draw does way up and sometimes I have to mess with batteries to get it fully booted and the battery light will sometimes go on during the boot and then go off once gpmenu is launched.
