Can someone point me to "hacking a GH2 for boneheads" forum :)

[rjett]

I can't get past a Error sign that says "Wrong file or trying to use already patched file"

Is someone running a website or string on this forum that can help me out?

Thanks, BH

You have managed to open PTool. Those questions have to be checked:

1. Is is the right (the newest) PTool for your Firmware?
2. Do you have the file of the unhacked Firmware (GH2__V10 or GH2__V11) unzipped and ...
3. ... in the same directory (i.e, the same folder, the patch also has to be in the same place)?

I bet you had one of these wrong.

Thanks Axel,

First I am on a Mac so I am running WineBottler. I have ptool3.exe and GH2__V11.bin in the same folder. I click on ptool and navigate to the V11.bin file and then is where I get my error message. I eventually would like to add the serb.ini patch.

Thanks for your help, rj

Judging by your error message, I assume you're trying to open a firmware file that has already been patched with a setting.
You require the original file from panasonic's website.

Going to this website:http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/index2.html

I get this file: GH2__V11bin

Ideas?

Thanks, rj

Thanks everyone.

The error message "Wrong file or trying to use already patched file" was coming up because i was using a old version of Ptool which does not recognize the GH2 firmware. (You will still find links pointing to old software on Vitaliiy's site so beware) You can get the latest here:http://www.gh1-hack.info/ptool3d.zip

The GH2__V11.bin is the latest firmware from Panasonic. http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/dl/gh2.html

Thanks again, rj
