I have tried to use it before when I initially went to pick up the
device but never succeeded, probably because we were using the wrong
files.

And the instructions seemed clear enough to use the command line utility.

The current problems/questions would have arisen with NeoTool anyway,
looks like I made a mistake when rebooting the device.

So when you have flashed the U-Boot with NeoTool, how do you proceed?
Unplug it first, power down, then boot again or use the boot menu to
reboot?  And did you boot the device normally or immediately into NOR
or NAND?

The display still shows the openmoko logo, guess I'll have to hard
reset it though I hope that won't break anything...
