- download the firmware
- download flasher utility
- Flash the firmware to the 770 keeping home button pressed while powering on and usb-connected to Linux
sudo ./flasher-3.0.amd64 --fiasco SU-18_2007HACKER_4.2008.7-1_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin --flash --reboot
- boot the device and check the new OS installed.
Now you can migrate the OS to an external SSD device with swap space and ext3 Filesystem.
./flasher-3.0.amd64 --fiasco SU-18_2007HACKER_4.2008.7-1_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin --unpack modprobe jffs2 modprobe mtdchar modprobe mtdblock modprobe mtdram erase_size=128 total_size=262144 dd if=rootfs.jffs2 of=/dev/mtd0 mount -t jffs2 -o ro /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt ls -la /mnt/
Insert your SSD card into your reader, partition it as any hard disk, make swap and an ext3 partition. Do an mkfs.ext3 and an mkswap on those partition. (ex. /dev/sdb1 is the SSD ext3 filesystem)
mount /dev/sdb1 /opt/ cp -a /mnt /opt
- check that /opt and /mnt are the same.
umount /mnt umount /opt modprobe -r mtdram modprobe -r mtdblock modprobe -r mtdchar modprobe -r jffs2
- Make the 770 boot from SSD card using flasher --set-root-device option, see maemo wiki for more info
