Continuing the VMware thread, I just installed VMware player and the small AstLinux image. Logged in as root, the flasher program runs but won't wake from waiting for a suitable USB device when attempting to enable R&D mode. VMware player recognizes a "Nokia Mobile Phones USB device" when I turn on the 770, and when I click on it in the VMware player window, linux responds with "usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10" is displayed in the shell. However, it is not recognized immediately by the flasher. After a few minutes, I get a number of "set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 5 to 55" messages. Does this mean the flasher is actually trying?

FYI, the device is plugged straight into my laptop, no USB hub.

Note that if I leave a RS-MMC card in the 770 and connect it normally, VMware and AstLinux do recognize a USB SCSI device and I can mount it and access the card as expected. Thus I'm suprised why the USB mode for the flasher doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone gotten the flasher to work under VMware?
