You need to edit the update script in the .sh file you have customized and included in your .bin package. This is a linux shell script. What I did was just comment out the parts I did not want the script to update. The comment character is the # symbol at the beginning of the line.
You need to be able to read the shell script to know what Amazon is doing and to modify that to do what you want to do instead. Please find somebody who can understand a bash script and edit the correct parts. There will be a lot more than just the fb.modes to adjust to do the mod properly. Please follow the instructions in the first post of this thread carefully.
The Amazon program first applies the patch to the existing file in the DXG and then takes the result and calculates the md5sum to compare with the expected checksum. If the files are not identical there is an error.
Be sure you can undo any changes in case you do not like the result from the update. That would require you backup your mmcblk0p1 as discussed in my previous posts. Having the 3.4.2 version of the TLS is nice in theory but is of limited usefulness unless there is no other way to access the internet because the browser is still very slow and tedious even when working and can easily crash on complicated web sites because of the limited RAM of the DXG. There is a real possibility of fouling your DXG if you don't know enough linux to get out of trouble. Good luck.
