Ouch. I'm out of ideas. We need help from someone more expert with dfu-util than I. Let me see what I can find. We might also ask on the kernel list and on the IRC channel. Finally, we can take a look in the dfu-util source and see what reasons are for error -71. _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
