Somebody care to make me clear on this? I keep getting the Chinese message + ! (ie: some sort of failure.) What I've done: 1) On a 1GB SD card (FAT 32), I've placed the mer-0.14testing2.SmartQ7 image. 2) Renamed the image to SmartQ7. 3) Placed into device. While device is off, hold down Menu/Function button and plug in charger. Device shows orange LED (for firmware flash mode, I assume.) 4) I get the "!" message. 5) Remove SD card, rename image to SmartQ5 on my laptop. 6) Repeat (3) above. 7) I get the "!" message. I'm currently downloading the v2.0 Chinese firmware. I'll try it with that, but the download will take about 4 hours... I'm doing this from a Xubuntu Linux machine -- could the FAT formatting on the SD card be wrong somehow? I suppose I could have a wonky SD reader in the device... Do I need to use the SDUpdateTool on the image first? Thanks for any pointers, m a r ps: just trying to get this thing up again -- borked my xorg.conf and it won't boot... any OS will do at this point...
