IR5 - The Official Windows 7 Rearm Solution

Off topic... still trying to get a custom avatar to work but anything I try I get the following error:

"Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file."

I don't think my account is set to use custom avatar... I think admin has to set it so it can. What do you think?

 

I honestly don't know why Timesurfer it has not been stickied I mean I tried to get the repo stickied but kinda gave up....

 

@ Smorgan
Same reason as before, for this thread at least. We (the moderators and admins) will look at how popular a thread is and then it might end up as sticky, currently though this part of the forum only has 1 page so all projects are highlighted.

Both my own and Hazar's applications got sticky status but look at the dates our threads were created at and then think about when we both achieved sticky status. It just wasn't that simple

 

Yeah, that avatar is great. I just realized that Daz is a mod. But he's either gone or he's in invisible mode. I'll send him a PM maybe he can help.

 

Yea I know but I'm gonna try to keep my thread alive for now...
Even thou I will admit I am doin an iffy job keepin it updated...
n ok to the last part....

UPDATE:

I also however will confer with Timesurfer as he knows when this project of his started....
Not to mention MasterDisaster as well however I will not take sides but I will also say that the loader is not everything....

 

It's time will come

Trust me even when I've had stable releases that have been out 6+ weeks and set records on the FTP website it still didn't get sticky status. We are talking here about an application that had over 1 million views and brought a ton of new users to MDL, a lot of which were people signing up just to say thanks.

This is an A for effort project but for me personally I'd really need to see it out for a few more months yet as theres never really been one build thats been out 4+ weeks and has stood the test of time.

 

I've PM'd you with the rest of the info.

As you can see though my points are pretty valid and while it may be more of a recognition thing you're after that's not the only thing that gets a thread sticky status. If you read back in my thread I had a ton of people yelling out for it to get sticky status and it never did until it had passed WAT tests and I continued to show support for the application for months. I guess the other thing to note is what about projects by nononsence, secr9tos or anemeros all of which have been out even longer than IR... In some ways it would be unfair on them because even though they are a little more quiet their projects are still pretty solid and a lot of hard work went into them.

Theres just different and many reasons a thread will get sticky status. I'm sure this one will if you just keep up what you're doing though

 

Umm just sayin here passing the WAT test is the icing on the cake just because it does or doesn't really doesn't matter...
As long as the Activation is bypassed and there are no notifications at all 99% of people will be satisfied by just that...
However a lot of hard work has gone all around just to leave it at that...

 

But I know a lot of people who do want the 100% because they like that they don't have to worry about anything.

"the loader is not everything" but the loader is on par with a BIOS mod, it has nearly the same appeal. This solution however requires you to type something into a DOS screen every once in a while and does some other stuff which I've shown concern over before and with good reason. Google what happened to the Windows Vista trail reset exploit for example...

I personally just want to see 1 version of the application thats been out for a few months and suffers no problems at all. This is just my opinion on it though, there are other moderators and when the time comes it will be discussed but that time isn't now as theres still only 1 page of projects. The same few people bumping the thread over and over won't gain it an extra push either, it will come down to it's popularity with the public.

 

I'm going to have to agree on the dos prompt screen because simplicity is everything when I started makin stuff....
The best hacks only need one button push and its done.... However there is no "golden hack" to everything when MS releases updates...
aka Service Packs so even the best hacks will need to be removed and reinstalled at times....
I will be honest thou I don't use IR4 or the loader cause I use legit/my own stuff....

Perhaps to be even handed it would be possible to do what needs to be done in the registry/DOS when the computer is started so its all done in one go round...

 

Yea I know my thing has not been extensively tested and beaten to death lol....
Also I love CMD heck the hack I use is a batch file which combines alot of things into one menu...
And Yes I know what RemoveWat does since the method was so broadcasted in the torrents out there but I like timebombing windows more...
But all I am saying is that or rather inquiring is whether or not it would be possible to integrate the restart that is necessary for IR4 into the hack so that its not neccesary so its a one click and finished thing....
However since IR4 has been beaten out and made more and more reliable I'd say go for the sticky lol...
I would also say that if the directions are idiot proof then thats all the needs to be said...

 

In comparison to a loader and this:
A lot of people will go with a loader because some just like to see that they are activated and genuine. Some will go with it just because it too is a 1 click solution and thats all you ever need to do, you never have to enter any commands on your system.

Some people may use IR4 if they don't care about activation status or running a command once every now and then. Maybe the loader they tried failed for them under all the modes and they couldn't be bothered to custom place the SLIC in which case this would give them an extended trial.

So you can't really compare them as they are not at all alike and in my personal opinion they both have a totally different target audience.

 

Correct me if I'm worng but the two "are" comparable as they negate the windows activation....
As for Slic's I don't have the knowledge to saying anything thus far about them as my thing doesn't target that...
As for the Validation I believe the normal user (not the guru) would log on and it would not matter if it was valid or not but that he could run windows forever not having to worry about the activation or trial as they are rather unconsquintational at this point in time regardless of the hack currently in use whether it be the loader, RemoveWat, ODIN, IR4, or my windows thing all they want to see is no annoying pop-ups that say non-genuine software in use...

Also I won't sugar coat something my thing has been in testing and updating for over 3 months...

 

We all know that IR4 was designed to reset the trial period and not to activate Windows 7. And that's what it does... and without any problems. It's an alternative for people that don't want/can't use loaders, mod their BIOS, because they want the OS "untouched" or because nothing else works for them for one reason or another. IR4 buys them time until something more permanent comes along. It does what it was designed to do. How long a project was online should be the last point on the sticky list of requirements. To be in this stage it should have been online for at least a few weeks. It's not something that came out a couple of days ago. But because of its purpose and simplicity the final stage can be achieved in a short time. Of course there is always a space for improvement.

Unlike other tools IR4 is not actually competing with all the other tools here but gives people another choice to keep their Windows working/active. Also unlike the other tools IR4 doesn't need to be updated... the rearm procedure doesn't change over time.

My post is just for the sake of conversation. I don't take sides. I used a few tools... ODIN, Daz Loader and IR4 among others. These three are my favorite and always worked for me. All three are amazing pieces of software.
