Sadly, I don't have Power and Aux buttons confused.
I don't have access to NAND from the Power button.
Both boot methods start the NOR bootloader.
 I have loaded those three files into those places and the phone
 doesn't boot, it says there is a checksum error. I checked the md5sum
 with sourceforge, and it matches.
I've got a SD card with the tarball unpacked onto it, and the phone
won't boot that - because I have no Qi bootloader that I can access
from the Power key.
Last installed was the uboot from gena2x with a default config file,
but still this does not work.

I need some other ideas, please.
