qtextended

[William Kenworthy]

Must have done 20-30 flashes over the past few weeks, various versions
of 2007/2008/ASU/FSO/FDOM :)  Most of them work - sort of.  In
particular, most dont want to register the GSM without extra work.

I used qtopia/uImage-gta02-g291a9d50_mwester-stable.bin (has the correct
md5sum) which I think is supposed to match QTExtended 4.4.1 - but it has
the symptoms Ive previously described.  I actually suspect it might have
hung on the pin dialog like some other distros do as in shutting down
via the menu a phone pad sometimes popsup with "waiting" or some such.
Waited 15 minutes before removing the battery ...
