Oh Dear! We have a clash of sorts ... let me end it. I know PouchX's method is far more elegant and of course results in a 'fully converted' 465 with HWID 0943, and i have used it. It's probably VERY safe, i know his reputation. I didn't recommend it for smokefree because he's wanting only to try the conversion. It's much easier to 'come back to' 250/255W by retaining the HWID 0827.

So please Alviora and Giomen, have your little tiff via PM or i shall put on my Mod hat and start trashing posts. I acknowledge that the two of you have far greater firmware knowledge than i have, I admire and respect you both but won't tolerate derogatory personal opinions being expressed openly any further.
