Sorry to be a bit thick here, but how do you either get xterminal to open through a uboot command, or get uboot to accept commands that will lead to running flasher. I'm just getting unknown command errors all over the place
Ok sorry- I got it to do something ( boot from mmc) BUT now I have to figure out a way to get a boot image on the mmc ( unless someone can kindly explain how to get to xterm)
yes.. whit this sh1tty u-boot.. how can i get update-mode with u-boot ?? if I hol the u button.. its stay in update-mode for a split-second then u-boot load.... damn man... should test it before this nearly-early-alfa boot management version..
phew. Managed to get just the basic kernel back on and it loads fine.
If anyone else ends up here looking for an answer, you need to get flasher on your pc and download PR1.3 image into the same directory where flasher is then run a command prompt, go to flasher directory and type:
PS- gameowar- Make sure your battery has some power in it or it won't go into update mode.
Oops just realised I forgot to mention that you need to plug your phone into the PC, holding the U button before you run that flasher command
EDIT_ Just tried rebooting again and it will let me load nitdroid without having to do anything extra, so it's just the power kernel that needs sorting out on multiboot. That's no biggie, as I only installed it recently and hadn't even played around with it yet except to experiment what it was like at a setting of MAX: 805 instead of 600. It DID seem a nicer experience though, so I will try again soon I am sure.

with u-boot or multiboot (to be able to boot nitdroid) ?
And how do i know if its charging? i connect the charger and bang.. u-boot loads ¬¬ damn annoying thing...
Look, guys. You generally -never- have to press U!
All you have to do is:
With your n900 OFF and unplugged, run the flasher command.
With the flasher "waiting", plug your n900 into USB. It will automatically boot, then flash. NO U KEY NEEDED.

Flashing the standard kernel gets rid of uboot, so it's just ultiboot that shows up. Just take the battery out, then back in, then plug charger in and wait. It might start the uboot thing but with no backlight but will eventually charge. It should let you do the whole connect to pc thing after that
