Hello,
I just tried a Knopix live CD Linux and successfully enabled the rd mode -
just works as expected. So I think, I have to fix my SuSE 9.3 installation
or switch to Ubuntu...
Thanks for all the support!
Best regards,
Marco

Hello,
0. Use some Linux distribution that is not too ancient, the latest ones work
flawlessly at least.
1. run the flasher as root
2. do not press home key, the Linux-flasher gets out of the endless loop
immediately
you turn on the power in the device.
3. start the device with the power button alone
4. the flashing starts
If this doesn't help, you may have a usb problem in either in your Linux
installation
or a hardware problem in your computer. This should work with all Linux
distributions.
I have been using Ubuntu Breezy, prior to that, Ubuntu Hoary and Ubuntu
Warty have worked
flawlessly too. Also I have tested with Suse Linux 9.3 Professional and it
works there too.
Some use Fedora Core (4?) and have reported it working also Debian unstable
should work,
so I am guessing that you are having something else wrong.
I have tried this on Dell and IBM laptops and never had any problems.
My general recommendation is Ubuntu, either Breezy (stable) or dapper
(unstable) if you feel
adventurous, I have used Redhat, Redhat Enterprise Linux, Mandrake (nowadays
Mandriva), Yellow Dog,
Suse Linux (professional), Agnula/Demudi distributions, and Ubuntu, and
Ubuntu is clearly my
favourite. Rock solid, everything works, the Gnome mounts usb sticks and
everything automatically
to Places and everything is very convenient and nothing usually is broken
unless you install packages
from the unstable repository. And last but not least, it has apt and
Synaptic, my favourites!
Best Regards,
Karoliina

Hello,
pressing the home key prevents booting my device but the
flasher tool waits in an endless loop and doesn't find the 770 device.
Are there any special requirements regarding the linux host
environment?
Regards,
Marco

Hello,
Here is a short step by step howto:
- Switch off the 770 device.
- Plug in the usb cable.
- Execute flasher.
$ flasher --enable-rd-mode
- Flasher starts waiting in the loop until you switch the
device back
on.
- Switch on the 770 device.
- And you are done
To my knowledge (please correct me if this is not true in all
conditions) there is no need to start the update BEFORE
turning on the device.
0) plug usb cable in
1) Press hold the home key; turn on 770
2) 770 will not boot and wait indefinitely
3) start the flashing program
Tested with linux flasher. Windows flasher never worked for me.

flasher tool...
Hello,
I'm trying to activate the rd mode on my device using the Linux
flasher tool but the tool just waits in an endless loop waiting for
the device (Suitable USB device not found, waiting). I already read
all threads regarding this topic but I don't have a clue what I'm
doing wrong: I turn off the device, start the flasher tool, attach
the device and power on the device but without success. I also
removed the MMC - same result. The device is simply booting and
telling me that it's attached to USB.
The 770 is directly connected to the USB interface on my
computer (no
hub) and I have firmware version 1.2005.42-9 installed on
the device.
I'm using SuSE 9.3 - any thoughts?
Thnx,
Marco
