Comment(by seven):
Hi, I have experienced a similar problem.
Yesterday I flashed the SHR testing distribution with u-boot, and after
flashing I could boot only from NOR boot until I replaced u-boot with qi.
Otherwise I kept getting static on the screen and the device unresponsive
to inputs, and had to plug the battery off to get it working.
While going into NOR boot and selecting "boot" option was working.
I used these images: (found in http://build.shr-project.org/shr-
testing/images/om-gta02/ )
kernel:
uImage-2.6.28-stable+gitr0e5fe639e234cdeb11d8441f19c5b3109a8b6a17-r2-om-
gta02.bin
rootfs: shr-lite-image-om-gta02.jffs2
I remember that uname -r returned "2.6.29-r2".
Today 18 july 2009 I flashed the om2009 and had the same behaviour.
-first, I updated the GSM firmware as described here:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GSM/Flashing#uSD-card_Image_.28GTA02_only.29
-then I flashed the u-boot, kernel and rootfs (i nor-booted between each
flash) with the images taken from
http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/testing/NeoFreerunner/ :
-u-boot: u-boot-
gta02v5-1.3.1+gitr650149a53dbdd48bf6dfef90930c8ab182adb512-r1.bin
-kernel:
uImage-2.6.28-stable+gitr0+f19f259d3c1afde8eae53983fd19f61831927413-r3-om-
gta02.bin
-rootfs: fso-paroli-image-om-gta02.jffs2 (dated 16-Jun-2009)
(please note: uname -r still gives 2.6.29-r2)
Again when I attempted to boot i got static noise and device unresponsive,
having to pull off the battery. Going into NOR boot menu and selecting the
"Boot" entry worked.
Flashing qi ( qi-
s3c2442-1.0.2+gitr3b8513d8b3d9615ebda605de4bda18371aa3f359.udfu ) solved
the problem.
According to /proc/cpuinfo, my hardware is GTA02 and revision 0360.
