I have been working on the seed document that was out on the wiki. I googled and found what I believe a fiasco image is. I have tried to make a hello world example by showing how to query the device. You can see my work so far. http://maemo.org/maemowiki/Flasher_tool_usage LOL. I set /bin/bash as the shell for the root user in the /etc/passwd file and couldn't gainroot again. So I started playing with the flasher as I was ready to make the device usable again for root. Several questions: * Can someone post what each module of the fiasco image would repair? It almost looks like the device uses a two stage boot loader, etc. For example would one key file fix the problem I describe above. * There are a list of RandD flags. I could not easily determine these from the "strings flasher" command. Can someone throw them in the wiki page and I'll format them if you don't have time? Oh is the flasher source available? * It looks like some params have secret handshakes too. I could not find the correct values for -flash-only <arg> * -u [arg] does that mean I can unpack one file from the fiasco? All my attempts extracted all the files. * -load, -l I cannot figure out the value of just loading a file without flashing it. Do I follow on with another command to flash? How so? All other options look to flash and load in one pop from the host PC. How do I load a file and then flash later if that is the intent? * --serial-port, -S <arg>; --initialize-port, -I <arg> Ok what do we do here? Is this the right cable http://ucables.com/ref/DEJANRS232 for the pins in the battery compartment http://www.karoliinasalminen.com/blog/?page_id=68 ? If so then how do you use power via battery and the serial cable at the same time? * --set-root-device <arg> what are the advantages to this? Can You swap RS-MMC cards with different configurations? * --boot, -b [arg] Now this looks fun. Is there a list of known values for the kernel? Can you set single user mode or switch to runlevel three with these boot options? * --cold-flash, -c when would and how would a person cold flash a device? I presume the documented USB method is a "hot flash".
