This is the procedure I used to update the IT2006 in the Nokia 770 to support 2Gb Kingston RS-MMC memory cards.

This procedure assumes you have already updated the Nokia 770 to IT2006. Insert the 2GB card into the memory slot at this point.

Note: You need to use a PC with USB ports running Linux.

a) obtain "flasher-2.0" from http://www.maemo.org/downloads/d3.php and download this onto the PC which has USB ports, running Linux (I used RHEL3, aka RedHat).


b) obtain "zImage-su-18-200627" from www.freenux.org/~mm/zImage-su-18-200627 and download to this to the same PC running Linux, into the same directory as the flasher-2.0


c) Turn off your Nokia 770 and do not have power supply attached to Nokia 770. Attach the Nokia 770 via USB to the PC. Do not power on the Nokia 770 yet.


c) In the Linux PC using a Terminal Window, in the directory where you have put the above two files, execute the command
"./flasher-2.0 -f -k zImage-su-18-200627"

the PC will respond with

"flasher v0.8.1 (May 30 2006)
Suitable USB device not found, waiting"


d) Now insert the power supply to the Nokia 770 , which will switch on the Nokia 770 and display the USB symbol in top right corner. This step takes only 2 minutes.

The PC will automatically respond with something similar to-

USB device found found at bus 001, device address 002
Found device SU-18, hardware revision 1802
NOLO version 0.9.11
Version of 'sw-release': SU-18_2006SE_1.2006.26-8_PR_MRO
Sending kernel image (1236 kB)...
100% (1236 of 1236 kB, avg. 579kB/s)
Flashing kernel... done.


e) disconnect Nokia 770 from the USB cable, remove power, allow Nokia 770 to be re booted, (it seems to do it twice)...


f) using the Control Panel and then Memory display, you should see that the memory card has 1.94GB
