I don't understand. What do you need?

Did not get the chance to setup the ubuntu yet. Work/family. I was asking for a superduper update that will just update the device clean from serial.

I just spent an hour trying to get tftp to work under WinXP - I think it's possible, but I'm missing the RNDIS drivers (which maybe should have already been installed?).

No more time tonight (have to work in the morning), but I do think it's possible to do it on a Windows machine.

I've also not quite given up on getting the recovery to work from a SD card, but haven't had time to try again lately.

Hopefully I'll get more time to play this weekend.

way to go. recovery from SD card. yummie... wintftp was crashing on me before even gettin to drivers

perldude69 · 11-03-2011, 03:23 PM

The Windows driver is essential. I don't think it will work in Windows without it. I will help look for a compatible driver.

I ordered a second PE. When it gets here, I will be able to brick it and do some more testing.....

Hi all, I think this might be my problem only worse, since I cannot get past a the android man in the middle of my screen telling me to "Touch here" and when I do nothing happens. I have not tread your whole thread, because I am not a great Linux geek, but I am fairly technical and can figure things out if I have the tools.

Are the fixes you have made something that can be shared as a download?

Why use two threads? See my answer in the thread you started.

Reverting to factory defaults only clears the user data and since what you installed is a special build you are now trying to use a phone version on your PE.

Revert to Dingo and the upgrade to Ermine again.

Sorry about the double post, but when I saw this thread, I went, aha, here is my problem. I took your advice and did the golden install following the instructions given in the PDF. No luck for me.

Gonna be a busy weekend but Sunday may hold some promise for de-bricking my PE. I hope...

Thanks for your help and thanks to all in this link. We will be rewriting the .sh file and whatever else it might takes.

I will keep everyone posted.

See my comment in your original thread and get out the soldering iron.
