<h2>FAQ</h2>
<b>*) How can I set my Internet Tablet into RD mode with 0xFFFF?</b>
Just type '0xFFFF -r 1' as root
<b>*) How can I unpack a FIASCO firmware?
Just type '0xFFFF -r 1' as root
<b>*) How can I unpack a FIASCO firmware?</b>
Just type '0xFFFF -u FiascoFirmware.bin -e /tmp' as root
<b>*) How can I flash a new rootfs?
Unpack the pieces from the fiasco firmware (the one distributed by Nokia for example) and then type:
# 0xFFFF -R -p rootfs.jffs
<b>*) How can I flash a full FIASCO image?</b>
It is not recommended to use, it needs more testing, and is more secure to unpack them first manually
and flash the pieces manually with multiple '-p' flags. If you are brave try:
# 0xFFFF -F FiascoFirmware.fiasco
<h2>Advanced commands</h2>
<b>*) How to extract the firmware pieces from a running device?</b>
It is possible to dump the firmware pieces from the internal MTD to reconstruct a FIASCO image.
To do this recompile the flasher for ARM and run this command in the device:
# mkdir /media/mmc1/backup
# 0xFFFF -e /media/mmc1/backup
<b>*) Dumping configuration region</b>
There's a hidden mtd partition containing undocumented configuration information. This one can be
dumped from the device using the following command:
# 0xFFFF -x
