Failed upgrade = Unsupported board
 

I tried upgrading my 770 to the new 2006 beta firmware. For some reason it failed. Now when I try to flash my device, the flasher gives the output:

Unsupported board (id = 0x0000)

Anyone know how to fix this? I think I bricked my 770...

Mike-

Try using flasher-2.0. Worked for me.

PS look here downloads

Is there a new flasher for OSX? I can't get the linux flasher for 2006 to run.

I'm not running OSX, but check this blog out. There is a posting about using OSX. Looks like it's command line only.

Brad.

Is it possible to use flasher-2.0 to reflash OS 2006 or OS 2005?

Same thing happened to me...I'm also on OSX, so maybe it's a bug in the OSX flasher. I'll try on a Windows box tomorrow, but I don't have access to a Linux box for a few days. If anybody's bricked theirs and manages to recover it with the Linux flasher, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks for the info. I tried everything, including the new flasher and everything listed in the blog, and I still get the unsupported board error. I think I just bricked my 770. I guess I'll have to send it to Nokia to get fixed. Damn...

Under Debian Sarge, it worked for me. I went from 2006 to 2005 and back to 2006.

Sorry.

Brad.

Just to clarify: The documentation says, in part:

"The Internet Tablet 2006 OS Beta image is also available for download. Please note that this image can only be flashed by the newest Linux Flasher . The Windows flasher does not support this image. "

Just because you can flash 2006 with Windows or an older version (or at least try and flash) doesn't mean you can reflash or downgrade.

I had the same problem after using the Mac OS X flasher with the beta-image. But I can fortunately confirm, that after re-flashing it on a linux box with the new flasher-2.0, everything is working fine again. If you just have a Windows box around, something like Knoppix (www.knoppix.org) will do fine.

Off to trying SE2006 now.

I used the Maemo Live CD to get linux running and then used the flasher 2.0. Everything worked just fine. Thanks for the help.
