i think you can try enter the uboot DFU-mode,
then do the follow step
1:
1.1 nand erase kernel
1.2 nand erase rootfs
2: download new kernel and rootfs to your FR use dfu-util
maybe work :-)

The DFU connection was made and the flash appeared to be going normally when I suddenly stopped and sent me a message that there was not enough room to update with the download. I had been able to make incoming and outgoing phone calls before that. Now all I get when I use reboot from the boot screen is the openmoko logo. I tried many different suggestions from this forum but none of them would recognize the downloads anymore. Perhaps I can access my phone if I knew how to change to it's root user. That happened once but I don't no how or why it happened. I dearlly want to work with this phone but I'm totally at a loss to explain it's behavior and I'm not sure what steps to take next. Do I need to let the original vendor send me a new phone with a clean update? I'm afraid if I do not find a solution this weekend that will be my only alternative. Please help. Sincerly, Oliver
