Great guide! Only one slight correction to make:

xterm
sudo gainroot
cd ~/Mydocs/.documents
tar zxvf kernel-sdhc-48MHz-3.2006.49.tar.gz (this generated zImage-48MHz)
tar zxvf kernel_flasher.tgz
cp zImage-48MHz ~/MyDocs/.documents/kernel_flasher
cd kernel_flasher
./kernel_flash zImage-48MHz

Do I need to use the wifi hotfix if I flash to this kernel? I'm on the latest OS2007HE.

where can one buy RS-MMC or MMCmobile for the 770? I looked at Amazon.com, buy.com, newegg.com, meritline.com. None of them carry it any more.

Edit: I found buy.com carries the 1G MMCmobile, for $46.

Just saw the post after sending you a PM

I have read somewhere we can just saw the SDHC in two halves.
Some SDHC cards have all circuitry in the bottom half and therefore we would not harm anything at all and we can simply push it in the rs-mmc slot to use it.

Has anyone done it ? I would like to upgrade memory for my N770 too.

No. I just tried it. SDHC is too thick, physically cannot get in the slot. Nice thinking. How about a regular size MMC, would it work?

well, i keep on correcting myself

Newegg carries 1g mmcmobile for $15 shipped, maybe 770 owners need to do some stock up before they all disappear like N800s.

They also carries 4g regular mmc for $21 shipped. Would anyone want to do some surgery on the 4G see whether it worked on the 770, cut it in half and see whether it still has a pulse

?

Amazon.com has 2 G regular MMC $13 shipped (if order >25$) or 1G regular MMC for $14 shipped. They also has the RS-mmc 0.5G for $14 shipped.

Meritline.com does not carry even MMC any more.
