Help with DFU Mode (P1 Device)

I found that simply being in the U-boot menu was enough to flash the device. You do not need to select anything.

Just hold AUX and power to access the U-boot menu and then plug the USB cable into the host and run dfu-util with the switches and file name.

DFU-Util handles switching the device into DFU Mode and then back to Runtime mode when it is done.

yes, you're right. But the Neo switches back to "boot-mode" after a few 
seconds. Therefore at least I had to be "fast" (just because you have to be 
in "console-mode").

I do,  but you can only get access to the phone after flashing. The default 
installed version doesn't allow ssh. I also found this statement in the wiki, 
but dunno where?!

I already flashed to different rootfs
1) openmoko-devel-image-fic-gta01-20070728230649.rootfs.jffs2
2) openmoko-devel-image-fic-gta01-20070728081358.rootfs.jffs2 (from the 
official side)

I prefer the second one. It's more "stable" IMHO ...
