I haven't been successful using USBSnoop. I've been real pleased using HHD Software's USB monitor until I ran into some bug that they are working on fixing. In the meantime, I have started using the logging capability of VMware for my USB sniffing. I think it does a great job.
I sent some sniffs to Rick Scott of the firmware wipe and loading process but I'm not sure if he has gotten any code written for that yet. The fimware loading process first uploads a ram image to the blackberry and then it flashes three sections of memory with the kernel and jvm and something else. After that it just loads the .cod files the same as the javaloader. The three flash parts come from the rim8700.sfi (or other name depending on model) file. I'd like to see, once you get this working on Linux, if it would be possible to run a modified kernel on the BlackBerry. I noticed that the Windows software does the checking for a valid signed .sfi file and possibly the BlackBerrry device itself does not.
