Does flashing the base image via the windows flashing tool eliminate the need to install the revised u-boot?

I think I experienced the "fastboot seems stuck" problem. My experience was characterized by the fastboot tool getting stuck in a blocking linux kernel USB write on a system.img that is 96MiB but was 100415040 in bytes. However, it didn't seem like this actually bricked the device according to most interpretations of the broad term. B2G never came up with a working UI, but adb worked enough to reboot the device to fastboot mode.

I installed the windows tools and flashed a base image and then the fastboot flashed okay, so I'm thinking I'm in the clear? I'm a bit in fear of poking things randomly and having them break again / having to go through more flash cycles.


Separate but related question, did the Tarako images have completely messed up file-system and adb permissions for a few days after they started? The image I downloaded Apr 2nd 20:41 Pacific was all kinds of messed up and needed tons of chmod/manual remounts/adb root/etc. invocation before I could install gaia. I was also trying to address things by spinning my own build, but the config/"repo sync" process for tarako/1.3t took on the order of days because some of the servers in question seemed to be served via extremely slow network link, like old-school modem speeds.

Thanks,
Andrew
