This looks fishy. So your device boots and works fine but you are unable to reflash the device?

I'd suggest to try different computer or boot linux directly (i.e. no vmware) and try again. If the problem is realy in your 770 and not computer you may try to play with som flasher parameters

what device version you have?

Code:

cat /proc/component_version | grep hw-build

what you see when you run flasher -i as root? I see

Code:

# ./flasher-3.0 -i
flasher v0.8.7 (Oct 17 2006)

Suitable USB device not found, waiting
USB device found found at bus 001, device address 002
Found device SU-18, hardware revision 1602
NOLO version 0.9.14
Version of 'sw-release': <no version>

then you can try to force hw revision

Code:

flasher v0.8.7 (Oct 17 2006)

Nothing to do!
Usage: flasher [OPTIONS]
Options:
..
..
 --hw-revision, -h <arg>       Specify product code and HW revision
..
..
  --set-hw-revision [arg]       Set HW revision override on device
..

I don't know what is the syntax of those arguments. For my 770 product code is SU-18 and HW revision is 1602, so I guess for my device I could force hw revision an flash firmware via
flasher-3.0 -h 1602 -F ....bin -f

You can also try to flash your device with 0xFFFF flasher, maybe it doesn't verify board version and allows you to flash even with board id 0.

oh, BTW, the thread title 'Usb host mode trouble' was not very good choice. How it is related to usb host mode? Maybe you could get more answers with more descriptive title with words like flasher or unsupported board ID 0x0000.
