stuck too. My battery is full but there's still no way to flash (it goes into u-boot). It won't boot the image from the zip file either (it hangs in the same place as normal boot). Did anyone try booting meego from mmc? I'm backing up an mmc now to try that...

edit: well, meego does boot. So I have a working OS on the phone. But I have no idea how to use that to fix my maemo yum doesn't seem to be around... I tried copying fiasco-flasher (with the help of dpkg-deb, tar, and scp) but that doesn't run on meego. Isn't there any way to convince the meego kernel to load the built-in rootfs?

edit 2: trying to install ubuntu now. Yeah, overkill, but I've got nothing better to do, no phone, and it sounds like fun if there's even a tiny chance this will let me recover my phone...

edit 3: here's a few remarks for those who think they are in this situation.
  • No, your battery isn't full. You may think it is, it may report full -- if flasher drops you to u-boot, then it's not “full enough”. Get a charger or a full battery.
  • Flashing the kernel only takes like a second. That took me a bit by surprise.
  • This won't reset the data, apps, etc, but it may reset the clock depending on how long you leave the phone without battery.
