We have been having a lot of problems with this procedure lately. It works flawlessly on my system, but seems to die for everyone else.

I have usually been able to walk people through some mitigation procedures, though. Can you go on IRC? #olpc . If so, I can take you through it the hard way.

Hi guys,

I gave the SPI emergency reflash a go. Unfortunately, not even that is
working on my board:

SPI FLASH recovery program version 2.2.
Complete instructions at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/SPI_FLASH_Recovery
Command summary:

line /dev/ttySn    \ Set the serial port to device
   If you omit this command, the default port is /dev/ttyS0

flash filename     \ Programs the FLASH from the named file
verify             \ Verifies the FLASH

Verification over the serial line is slow (17 minutes)
so you might want to skip it and let the
loaded image verify itself upon booting.

Looks like some interference somewhere. The board should be grounded
through the serial cable and the monitor.

Ideas?
