>gunzip -c shr-image-om-gta02.tar.gz | tar -C /mnt -xvf -

This worked.And when I rebooted the phone by switching the power it booted
into SHR (asking me an option between ILLUME ad n SHR ILLUME).I used the
phone for some time.And then I shut it down and tried to boot again but it
gets stuck with the blinking cursor nothing happens and it does not boot
into the SHR stored in the mem.

What could be the problem?
