The nokia flasher does not implements all the functionalities of the NOLO. This
is really anoying too. And requires more work than a simple ltrace or usbsniff.

BTW , I recommend you to use the libusbsniff that I provide together with radare
for sniffing and dumping the USB data packets. 

  http://radare.nopcode.org/wiki/index.php?n=Main.BusSniffer

I don't know if is better to make the NOLO happy or just replace the nolo with
a free bootloader, but this is a very HUGE work.

BTW the legal problems with the flasher is that it communicates to NOLO, and 
NOLO
is used on not-only n770 and n800 :) there are some nokia-symbian-based mobiles
with nolo with the same n770 board, but they don't reply anywith with 0xFFFF -d
[usbid] :/ so i think the protocol is different, but they probably share a 
common
base.

This is the reason I think nokia has not made the flasher free.

About the code development I'm thinking on publishing a version control 
repository
so we will be able to easily share patches and manage the evolution of the 
creature.
