So "OS2008 Feature Upgrade" came up on in "updates" on my N810 Diablo today. So I blindly told it to go for it.

Bad idea, I got an error about the Browser Daemon could not be found in the archives or something like that. So I thought I would reboot and see what happens.

Worse idea, Now the N810 just cycles a half bootup sequence, and reboots again and again.

I seem to remember having this problem once before and re-flashing wiped everything clean and made it boot again (which was a pain of course because I lost everying on the root file system).

This time, however I get an error:"
Finishing flashing ... Sending request 0x52 failed!
Unable to get error strings: Connection timed out.
"

(Oh yea, was using the Linux flasher, which had worked twice before, and on the exact same RX44... Image that I had used previously)

So still my N810 will not successfully boot.

So now what do I do? Anyone know what the "Cold Flash" is?

It would sure be nice to know how to get into a single user shell or some other "safe-boot" mode WHEN certain updates corrupt the OS like this. Maybe I should rebuild it as a dual boot (assuming I ever get it working again) so I can use one OS to repair the other.
