If you follow the steps at [1] closely, it will become more clear what is involved in getting your FR alive. And it will give you a working phone ;-) Kind regards, Ed [1] http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/qtmoko/index.php?title=Installation ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Traditionally there has been the boot loader, startup image, kernel, factory default and rootfs partitions. If you flash QI to the "bootloader partition" this will not affect anything else. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Ok, So I took your advise (Benjamin Deering). Used Neotools, wow: what a powerful tool, thank you very much... But, I think I did something wrong. : / *This is my problem:* My first attempt: I tried flashing the FR (NAND) with QI, Kernel, and the OS (Which was the SHR jffs2 image). Everything was successful, until I tried to turn on the phone when it was done. The phone turns on and random lines of code? accelerates from top to bottom (this was cool at first), until 3 minutes later it stops (with the screen full of code) and doesn't do anything else. Then I tried it another way: Flashing the FR (NAND) with the Kernel and QI, and installing the SHR OS on an ext3 partition of my micro SD card. I used the SHR tar ball for this one. And I got sort of the sam results. Should I not be flashing the kernel to the FR? Is the Kernel already apart of the OS? When I flash the FR NAND, Does this erase everything on NAND and replace it with what I am currently flashing? Has anyone had this problem, Am I the only one..?

Hi, I'm not sure about the state of the ubi image of SHR right now. If it is good, I think you can install it with neotool (available in some linux distros, or buildable from source). You would need the ubi image, a kernel image, and a bootloader image. From neotool, click 'flash my freerunner', choose gui, bootloader, and kernel. It will tell you when and how to connect the phone. I think most people now only flash the bootloader, then put the OS on microSD.
