Re: "Could not activate this XO" error

Thanks for the update, Scott. If someone would like to update the 'Downgrading' procedure on the Autoreinstallation page, please do. What is there will work... but what Scott and Mitch have described sounds much easier. Kim On 7/23/07, C. Scott Ananian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Coming late t

Re: "Could not activate this XO" error

Coming late to this discussion, but: - the new autoreinstallation script doesn't require editing olpc.fth - renaming the version file on the install stick doesn't change the version number read after it is installed, so it is harmless and recommended - renaming the version file also allows yo

Re: "Could not activate this XO" error

Then I believe I have B1. When I first got this OLPC laptop it used to tell me at startup that is B1 but also I am sure I have 256 so I thought I might have B2, that's why I told you that in the first place, sry. Is there anything I can do to run 528 on my B1(?) laptop thanks tb On 7/23/07, Ber

Ok, guys, I've been testing continuously since my last mail. Using the latest existing olpc-auto.zip file, I made it to install 499 and 502 but when I tried 525, 527, 528 it failed again. Could not activate this XO. Serial Number: SHF7140010D I have 256 MB of RAM but maybe my laptop isn't B2 but

The auto update boot script supports both nand1234.img and os123456.img naming schemes, both fit into 8.3 FAT. Maybe we should use one for dev builds and the other for stable builds. > Renaming the installation file does not change the version > number that > is actually stored in the

Thanks Mitch! I didn't know that. Do you think that is the best way to do the downgrade? I already changed the Autoreinstallation page to the notes I above. The possible problem at the end of the downgrade didn't sound good; and we are going to start using stable release numbers >1000, so if you

Re: "Could not activate this XO" error

I don't recommend that your rename your nand to a higher build number than it actually is just to avoid a downgrade. You may never be able to catch up (or catch back down to the proper version). To downgrade (I will add this to the wiki page on reinstallation as well): Find a build such as 515 (

There does seem to be a need for a "Quick start" autoreinstall directions at the top of the page, since there is a lot of detail on the existing page and many people seem to be missing critical points, or assuming that the files they have are recent enough. I'd appreciate help from a volunteer who
