Thanks for the tip Peter, I have it installed now and I can successfully send/receive SMS and phone calls! Now, if only Sudoku worked. That's the big one I've been waiting on.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 24, 2008 12:32 PM, Peter Rasmussen <<a href="mailto:plr@udgaard.com" target="_blank">plr@udgaard.com</a>> wrote:<br>

I have a SDHC card installed, and the latest mentioned u-boot seem to<br>support SDHC, but I suppose regular SD cards, eg. the 512MB card<br>delivered with the Neo will work as well.<br><br>0.Ensure that the flash-card is formatted with the file system format ext3.<br>
1.You should be able to do that with a card reader connected to your<br>Linux based computer.<br>2.Insert the flash card into your Neo and boot it up with a recent image<br>that has been installed to the phone, not the flash card that you are<br>
about to update.<br>3.Get the flash image file that you want to flash your Neo with, to your<br>Linux computer.<br>4.Connect your Neo to your computer with a USB cable.<br>5.Establish the connection with this: ifconfig usb0 <a href="http://192.168.0.200" target="_blank">192.168.0.200</a><br>
netmask <a href="http://255.255.255.0" target="_blank">255.255.255.0</a><br>6.If #5. doesn't work, it may be because your Linux kernel doesn't have<br>the necessary USB support.<br>7.In case you are using the (as of today) the most recent release,<br>
execute the following command: cat<br><div>OpenMoko-openmoko-devel-image-glibc-ipk-P1-Snapshot-20080123-fic-gta01.rootfs.tar.gz<br></div>| ssh <a href="mailto:root@192.168.0.202" target="_blank">root@192.168.0.202</a> tar -C /media/card -xz<br>
8.Remeber that if you get an error about SSH not knowing your host, just<br>execute (as root): # rm /root/.ssh/known_hosts<br> and redo the command.<br>9.It may take from 5-10minutes to unpack the image onto your flash card,<br>
and if you have added the tar flag 'v' then it will definitely take longer.<br>10 If your image is not gzipped, but just a regular tar-image then you<br>should omit the 'z' flag.<br>11.Then, when attempting to reboot to this image, you must select SD or<br>
SDHC card to reboot when starting up the Neo, using the AUX key and the<br>power-key.<br><br>If it doesn't work, ask again, and everyone please remember: there are<br>no dumb questions, just dumb answers!<br><br>Let's make the Neo the best platform out there!<br>
