This seem to be a common problem.

OK, I really want to like it, but it has some deal killers some of which are

yeah in fact i would favour a less dfu-util'y approach to these public

There's probably a few people here that have dead phones with other faults.
Maybe one of them could sell you a dead phone cheap and you can swap the

That certainly sounds better than any of the other options I have been

Is there anyone out there that has older Neo 1973 hardware (with a

Or even perhaps someone with a dead freerunner?

guys -- you are very kind but that is sad that there is no official
OpenMoko parts store -- it is like having opensource OS where you can't
unload a driver and load a new one - what good opensource hardware gives

Thats the kernel.
Rakshat
t;uImage" is the kernel. You will need to re-flash a u-boot image to the
u-boot partition. Try this one:

Hi Noah,
No, It's kernel image.
If you indeed reflash u-boot with kernel image.
I think you will need a debug board.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Haven't tried that, but instead, I changed u-boot env to add a new

It went a bit further this time : kernel boots

That worked great thanks.
Is it safe to update the kernel to the latest version? or does the kernel need
to match the qtopia
image?
I definitely have an interest as well, and am on your list from the booth.
There is a wiki page listing those interested:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Openmoko_Local_Groups:_San_Francisco
I believe that page dates back to the 1973, but there are new additions and
people still interested.
