My FR has been sitting all day turned off, and I just went upstairs to prep it for an overnight without the battery, but I decided to see if I could get to the NOR boot menu one more time before I let it sit overnight, and whadayaknow... it came up to the boot menu. :D The USB port still isn't recognized, so I can't charge it yet, but I can at least reflash now. :) Thanks Brian! -Laura -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Serious-problems-after-failed-upgrade-tp4747627p4755140.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
