So your NAND boot looks really dead. You can try QtMoko v26 - it has kernel 
1.9MB and should be booted ok from NOR. You can download it here [1].

If you have debug board then there is possibility to flash NOR boot e.g. with 
qi, but i never tried anything like that. Maybe its possible to do it even 
without debug board - just wiring 2 pins, but i dont recall details.

Hmmm... Must be driving you quite mad after all this testing. In which area do 
you live, is there anyone with a debug board not too far away? 

FOSDEM might be an opportunity, if it is in your part of earth, but your email

It should be easy to check stuck button, just press AUX in NOR u-boot
menu, it it doesn't react or meny items switching like crazy without
touching it - some problems with aux exist. It should be also possible
to just read some memory address from inside NOR u-boot i guess to find
out real state of AUX.

So both these track gets us no where. However I have just reread through

bootloader. Do both FR have the same bootloader?

RED flash could mean that qi is started.

Does it also vibrate?

Can you hold POWER button for long time? Qi should start kernel with verbose 
log then.

Another thing you can try is SD card installer mentioned here [1]

That situation is comfortable for debugging. If you do not fear of
breaking another FR, you can repeat exactly the same procedure with
working FR and check if it is valid, and allows you to flash FR and make
it work.

>  one has v35 on it from those downloads and exact same commands.
If that is true, this would mean that definitely something is wrong with
the device, not the flashing procedure itself. Are you sure that both FR
are the same revision (A4,A5,A6, buzz-fixed or not)?

just making a red flash on the Aux button and then locking up the

If you can't start the NAND bootloader and your Freerunner starts the
NOR bootloader everytime, it may be possible that your AUX button got
stuck somehow. A friend had the same problem with his brand new
Freerunner. He was able to fix the problem himself, but he needed to
replace (or resolder, don't remember) the AUX button. 
Are you able to cycle through the menu items in the bootloader by
pressing AUX? If you can your AUX button is working.

downloaded bootloader from sourceforge
whose md5sum is
fe258f3493b7aed65d61c74bdce26cc3  downloads/qtmoko/qi-v35.udfu

same result on the terminal : the dfu-utils says the bootloader is
installed
the freerunner says the bootloader installed but it doesn't actually
result in a NAND that I can access

I have two freerunners on my desk, one has v35 on it from those
downloads and exact same commands.
I don't think persevering with the dfu-utils is going to have any
success with the second phone.

Does anyone have any ideas about a failed NAND or ideas about updating
a debian SD card which is FAT+ext2 and can be booted from NOR to qtmoko
v35?

Oki, so first you need bootloader. Can you please give exact steps (copy paste 
commands from terminal) how are you doing it and what is the outcome? 
Something like:

$ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtmoko/files/qi-v35.udfu/download -O qi-
v35.udfu

Sadly, I don't have Power and Aux buttons confused.
I don't have access to NAND from the Power button.
Both boot methods start the NOR bootloader.
 I have loaded those three files into those places and the phone
 doesn't boot, it says there is a checksum error. I checked the md5sum
 with sourceforge, and it matches.
I've got a SD card with the tarball unpacked onto it, and the phone
won't boot that - because I have no Qi bootloader that I can access
from the Power key.
Last installed was the uboot from gena2x with a default config file,
but still this does not work.

I need some other ideas, please.

First i think you are mixing POWER and AUX button:

POWER = the circle button near the USB connector
AUX = the rectangular button on the same side as headphones jack

and you are mixing NOR and NAND:

NOR = the readonly memory with original uboot
NAND = writable memory with your kernel+rootfs+bootloader

I think you should first enter NOR boot: hold AUX then press POWER. You will 
see uboot menu.

Now plug USB cable and flash to NAND kernel+rootfs+bootloader:

dfu-util -a kernel -R -D uImage-v35.bin
dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D qtmoko-debian-v35.ubi
dfu-util -a u-boot -R -D qi-v35.udfu

Power off the phone and remove your SD card. Now just shortly press POWER. The 
phone will blink with LED and vibrate (this is done by qi bootloader) and 
should start booting.

I think you can forget about booting old kernels and using NOR bootloader. 
They are bugged.

Qi bootloader can boot from SD card with ext3 partition. You just need to 
unpack the qtmoko release tarball on SD card.

> What options do I have to get qtmoko working?

You can have qtmoko on SD card or on NAND. For bootloader you must use NAND 
bootloader which is activated *just with POWER button*. You can use qi 
(recommended) or some uboot from gena2x - you have to search a bit for it.

Good luck

I tried flashing the NAND with a few other bootloaders.
What I have now is that pushing the Power key gives me NOR boot.
I can boot an old Om2008 I've got here
but after that I lost touchscreen input again
Original QT was working last night - but I don't have a copy of that
kernel and image any more.

NOR boot can only boot off SD card if FAT + ext2
and so it can't read the debian on ext3 that I made.

What options do I have to get qtmoko working?

I've got a Freerunner with no working NAND boot (ie pressing the Power
key does nothing).
I've just tried to put on v35 with those commands but still there is no
response from the Power key.
Booting from NOR results in 
CRC error bad data Checksum
can't get kernel image

I've tried a few installs of the kernel whose md5sum is
907917848c8437f8f4126b8a971b06da  uImage-v35.bin

any help available?
