doens't work here.
actually nothing works...
for me the command
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R also doesnt work.
I don't want to nag on dev to be clear.

This should not really be a problem. kernel-power does not remove the modules of the stock kernel, and it uses a different uname, so its modules are in a different directory, not overwriting stock modules.

okay I've exhausted all combinations:

Command: flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R

(Windows 7, cmd with administrator previlege)

#1
Battery out => battery back in => slide open keyboard => press "U" => start flasher on PC => plug n900 via usb => greetings, "starting kernel"

#2
Battery out => battery back in => keyboard not slide open => start flasher on PC => plug n900 via usb => greetings, "starting kernel"

#3
Battery out => battery back in => slide open keyboard => press "U" => plug n900 via usb => start flasher on PC => greetings, "starting kernel"

#4
Battery out => battery back in => keyboard not slide open => plug n900 via usb => start flasher on PC => greetings, "starting kernel"


so uboot loads no matter how.
as some hinted above perhaps it has to do with the battery and use PC usb to charge instead of the wall charger. hmm maybe. this is the last method I've seen so far. so let's see what happens when the battery is fully charged via PC USB (with no high hope though ... :-x )

Now trying...
Matan, should the microsd be fat16 or fat32 and with or without boot flag? Thanks.

Also should the device be plugged into PC USB or charger or nothing?

vertyogo | # 37 | 2010-11-11, 13:34 | Report

n900 and should work without batteries, just connected to the charge? works for me .. actually it's the only plus

009N | # 38 | 2010-11-11, 13:35 | Report

okay here is my initial result.

microsd as mmc, fat 16@3rd partition, matan's stuff@3rd partition

open the keyboard

plug in the charger

device power up itself

press some key to intercept booting to get the prompt

Here is what I saw. It's dam painful to stare at those tiny prints, and without backlight ....

It's the same story. Still stuck at uboot. So what's next?

Followed this guide with no problems: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...7&postcount=21
Also reinstalled uboot-pr13, as i got i kernel-panic message when i tried to boot without run noloboot command, but multiboot is working fine!

The files should be on a fat partition that is the third partition /dev/sdb3 in Linux if in usb SD card reader. This is how an SD prepared for meego boot is partitioned. You can use another partition, but then you need to run the commands manually.

It is better that the device is not plugged.
