I bricked my phone with a (bad?) uboot image a couple of weeks 
ago.

After I unbricked it, I threw together a high level wiki article on
my user page.

Maybe it will help.


#1 time waster for me was that the openOCD package I found 
on Harald's people.openmoko.org page required an autoconf 
build tweak to support libftdi.


Also, it wasn't clear from reading the (original) Booloader 
wiki page that "foo.bin" meant lowlevel_xxxx.bin


(Harald seems to have updated the Bootloader page to make 
it more clear, not sure about the .deb package.)
