NAME flasher-3.5 - Maemo flasher tool SYNOPSIS Usage: flasher-3.5 [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION The flasher tool is used to flash data to the Maemo device internal 256MB of NAND, which is where the bootloader, kernel, and rootfs (all of which make up the operating system) are stored. Flasher can be used to upgrade the firmware, wipe the Maemo device and start from scratch, flash certain specific components, or change a number of hardware flags.

no-charging force-power-key EXAMPLES To flash a image to the Maemo device, open a terminal on your computer, then run: $ flasher-3.5 -F <FIASCO image> -f -R Replace <FIASCO image> with the firmware image you downloaded from Nokia. This will flash a FIASCO image to your Maemo device and reboot device after it s done (at which point, you can unplug the USB). The procedure is the same for all other image flashing components (like separate kernel, rootfs and eMMC images), see the option list for details . If you wish to do other commands than image flashing, then omit the -R option as rebooting Maemo device may reset given configuration change back to normal. 1) To flash a kernel with separate kernel image, open a terminal on your computer, then run: $ flasher-3.5 -k <kernel zImage> -f -R 2) If you do not have separate images, but want to flash just a part of the whole FIASCO image you can do so by running: $ flasher-3.5 -F <FIASCO image> --flash-only=rootfs -R This will flash just the rootfs from the FIASCO image and reboot the device. 3) If you need access to the individual parts of the FIASCO image, it can be unpacked by running: $ flasher-3.5 -F <FIASCO image> -u Which will expand it to your current directory. 4) To cold flash (needed usually when the bootloader has been changed) ru n: $ flasher-3.5 -c -h RX-51:<hwid> -F <FIASCO image> -S usb The 'hwid' in the command options is a 4-digit code that can be found fro m the type label of the device to be flashed.
