Have you tried to do this from a USB stick?

[vicinc]

this was from usb stick!

[vicinc]

tried again from mini sd card . same story

can you please do an printenv Jim from your PE.
I think the ram_size may be wrong on mine

[vicinc]

for development e.g boot from sd or usb root=/dev/ram0
i think this is the clue

[vicinc]

I am there now.
after the bbt bad blocks reallocation, new images were needed to be written.
elementary my dear watsons/
it is dingoing happy now, will update it all the way to allmine shortly.
//Restore regular boot
tftp 0x7D00000 ramdisk.android.gz.crc
nand erase 0x1200000 0x140000
nand write 0x7D00000 0x1200000 0x100000


//Restore boot_user (PE Restore Mode)
tftp 0x7D00000 ramdisk.maint.gz.crc
nand erase 0x1300000 0x700000
nand write 0x7D00000 0x1300000 0x6C0000
reset
run boot_user

[vicinc]

I am all dingo now, thanks guys. I will summarize all the steps in the first post. Have my plasma to sort this weekend, 2 capacitors gone!!!
But I am dingoing happy now.
I think that the failures of upgrading via menu/rotate has to do with bad block in nand.

[Filark]

Wow! Congratulations, Vicinc! After all that . . .

[perldude69]

Cool beans! It looks like we have a process, or a set of things to try when you PE is borked. After I marked the bad blocks on my new PE, it also failed to boot. I reran all of the steps, but I think this is what did it:
//Restore regular boot
tftp 0x7D00000 ramdisk.android.gz.crc
nand erase 0x1200000 0x140000
nand write 0x7D00000 0x1200000 0x100000


//Restore boot_user (PE Restore Mode)
tftp 0x7D00000 ramdisk.maint.gz.crc
nand erase 0x1300000 0x700000
nand write 0x7D00000 0x1300000 0x6C0000
reset
run boot_user

CONGRATULATIONS!

I have been following your tribulations for several months.

You deserve TWO awards. One for dogged perseverance and the other for succeeding.

Make that THREE; one for carefully summarizing the successful approach for others who get caught in the maelstrom.

Steve

[stevesr0]

P.S. you can change your signature now!

Steve

[tarvoke]

yes! you definitely deserve two awards, vicinc!!

congratulations!

[vicinc]

not 3?
