got there in the end.
you have to make sure tftpd is installed (which was not on mine, also repository needs updated). also you have to have a serial terminal on.
which I did by doing
sudo apt-get install screen
and than
screen /dev/ttyS0 115200
It is doing something but seems slow for loading a 200k file over serial.

Sorry about the wait. Did you set the IP of the new network device to 192.168.2.100 ?

When you start tftp the PE connects a network device over USB.

I bought a new PE and I am waiting on it to get her so I can start building custom roms for this beauty.

Thanks all.

flyred> have you loaded tftp server on ubuntu? than loaded the ram image than the update.zip?
I can boot the serial to u-boot, I can get the edited update.zip but will not load, rebooting after 16% as per my log.
any chance you publish your recovery procedure step by step for us the mortals here.

The PE and your Linux seem not to be communicating over the USB network interface. Plug it up, and run the TFTP command. Once you launch it, run a ping from Linux terminal.
ping 192.168.2.101 and see of they are able to communicate. It looks to me like the TFTP is just waiting for a connection.

Linux should be 192.168.2.100 and the PE is set to 192.168.2.101 in the system variables.

Hi Vicinc!

Edit: Never mind, the TFTP you managed to get working is probably safer. :-) But I do think it might be possible to make a flasher that will run from the regular system...

BIG FAT WARNING: This is untested, product of a mind that should be going to bed and not thinking about this, and has the potential to uber-bork a device if any of the commands or arguments are wrong. I CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK, OR THAT IT WILL EVEN LEAVE YOUR DEVICE AS IS AND NOT WORSE (sorry for the shouting, but it is important).

If you're still desperate enough to be willing to try this probably hare-brained idea, you could try to copy the files from the attachment to your device (unzip them first). Then, as root, in a terminal go to the directory and run the following commands:

# ./flash_erase /dev/mtd5 0x00100000 48
# ./nandwrite -s 0x00100000 -p /dev/mtd5 ramdisk.maint.gz

I have included the Dingo maintenance ramdisk, so it might interact in weird ways if you have Ermine in your device. You could probably try the same with the Ermine maintenance ramdisk if you want (it would be better to remove the last 4 bytes that are the CRC, but I think that should not matter).

If you are brave enough to try it, good luck!

P.S.: Again, BIG DISCLAIMER: I have no previous Android experience, and this might break your device, not work, water your coffee, give your cat an incurable disease and/or all of the above.

It looks like you have some bad blocks of memory. I had the same problem for a little while, but there is a utility in uboot for marking bad blocks. Iw ill look and see if I captured the commands.

Darn, I didn't keep my log files. When my new PE comes in the mail, I will attach it to the serial port and look through the commands.

Hi, I just googled uboot marking bad blocks and stumble upon this :

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/NAND_b...cks#Bad_Blocks
Go to the bottom off the page, there's a recipe - Is it what you were looking for ?

Warning : I am not knowledgeable of uboot, I just found this via google - it says it will erase the whole flash - Not sure it is safe!)

nand bad
nand scrub
nand createbbt
dynpart
dynenv set u-boot_env
saveenv
