Hello, I found references to my problem, but no explanation/solution so far. What happened is that I successfully flashed my 1st 770 with ./flasher -F Nokia_770_SE2005_3_2005_51_13.bin -f -R A few days later, I returned the unit and got a new one, which I flashed, too. I had thought I had deleted the old Nokia_770_SE2005_3_2005_51_13.bin-file, so I downloaded it a second time and went through exactly the same procedure. It started fine, but suddenly stopped with an error message: usb_bulk_write: Broken pipe I started to sweat, literally, when this error message occurred after a 2nd and 3rd try. What I found out then was that I'd kept the old file in a different directory. I flashed the unit with the file I'd downloaded only 2 days ago, and everything was fine. My questions are: A) If I hadnt kept the old file, which options are there? More precicely: If flashing fails because of such an error, will there be any chance to ever re-boot the device or give it one more try with a new image after powering down? Is there something like a protected "BIOS" that will always allow flashing, no matter how insanely broken the current software is? B) Whats the reason for the "usb_bulk_write: Broken pipe"-error? Is there something wrong with the flasher? With the USB-setup on my Linux-PC? With the image I'm trying to transfer? Unfortunately I deleted the seemingly "broken" image file so I would never touch it again by mistake; now I cant compare it to the one that worked. I remember them being equal in size, but I was always told its not size that matters ;-) Help is appreciated, because this experience really keeps me from even thinking of upgrading to some new software release. :( Thx, Oskar
