Hi! First of all; thanks for everyone's help. My Neo 1973 is back in the game now. I preffer to download the GTA01 images and kernels from http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/ Why?

Re: Updating an old GTA01 (Neo 1973)
Hi! Well, I checked below, but I am still a bit lost / confused. What I find there: 1. lowlevel_foo-gta01bv?-*.bin What's that? The different versions belong to different hardware releases of the GTA01, I guess. AFAIK the version of the device which got shipped to most people is GTA01BV4? So in that case I would use lowlevel_foo-gta01bv4-*.bin. I indeed wonder what will it into 280 / 320 bytes ... 2. u-boot-gta01bv?-*.bin I guess this is the boot loader? Again, one has to choose the version corresponding to the actual hardware revision, I guess. 3. uImage-2.6.??-oe?+*.bin Just guessing ... Are these different kernel images? 4. modules-2.6.??-oe?*-r1-om-gta01.tgz So I guess these are modules for the respective kernels, but why are they a separate .tgz file? I guess this is *not* to be flashed with dfu-util, is it? 5. fso-console-image / fso-image Is this the userland? If yes, why are there two different formats (.jffs2 and .tar.gz) and how would I load either on onto my device? So on my original question, updating my old Neo 1973, I guess I would: 1. Flash lowlevel using dfu-util? 2. Flash u-boot using dfu-util? That should give me a current boot loader again, hopefully, which can deal with recent images. 3. Flash uImage using dfu-util? Then ... ? Regards, Torsten Angus Ainslie schrieb: On Wed, 2009-02-11 at 18:12 +0100, Torsten Schlabach wrote: I also read about a GSM firmware upgrade which I may need.

I guess this is *not* to be flashed with dfu-util, is it? You do not need them. Just flash the right kernel for your rootfs image. It is always documented which kernel should be used. (Usually the latest in the same dir) 5. fso-console-image / fso-image Is this the userland? If yes, why are there two different formats (.jffs2 and .tar.gz) and how would I load either on onto my device? .ffs2 is the root image to flash on your device. .tgz is the root filesystem as tar as you would need for booting from SD and if you want to modify the filesystem prior to flashing. So on my original question, updating my old Neo 1973, I guess I would: 1. Flash lowlevel using dfu-util? No 2. Flash u-boot using dfu-util? Yes, but be careful. That should give me a current boot loader again, hopefully, which can deal with recent images. 3. Flash uImage using dfu-util? Then ... ?

Updating an old GTA01 (Neo 1973)
Dear list! I have an old Neo 1973 which I would like to use to test some latest developments in OM. So I'd guess I cannot just flash the latest image but I might probably might have to update the bootloader and some other low level stuff first? I also read about a GSM firmware upgrade which I may need. Is there any page in the Wiki which would provide an overview? I tried to click my may through http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/ but I got lost a bit trying to decide which files I may need to flash and in what order. Any guiding help welcome ...
