Re: Dead Joggler

Hi. I've recovered my joggler. Seems the EFI was still good. All that i needed to do to boot through USB was 1. Hit ESC repeatedly after power up to get to the efi shell 2. Blindly type "fs0:" <enter> "boot.nsh" <enter> I then used dwl99's nuclear option to do a clean install. Ma...

Re: Dead Joggler

Thanks dwl99. But first i have to be able to boot to ubuntu which doesn't work, I've tried all available versions of ubuntu but it still doesn't get past the screen with openpeak text. Normally when the joggler is booting ubuntu, the openpeak text lights up but mine doesn't even go that far. :( Oh....

Re: Dead Joggler

You're going to have to restore it by booting from an Ubuntu stick. Open Terminal & enter: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=10M (this will zero-fill the flash memory & is a nuclear option) then: sudo mkdir /backup cd /backup sudo wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1107587/part_table cat pa...

Re: Dead Joggler

I don't think you need to desolder anything. I've seen a video on youtube on how to remove the EFI chip. I've even opened up the joggler and looked at the chip. The steps to flashing the joggler are on this page "http://www.jogglerwiki.com/wiki/Recovering_a_bricked_EFI" but i don't really ...

Re: Dead Joggler

I had the above happening to me, and used a working efi boot chip from a friend and booted my 'dead' joggler with that. After that, I was able to reflash the original OS (as it would boot from USB again) and that was it, all working again. Efi chip has been returned and mine now seems to work as we...

Re: Dead Joggler

If you have a 2nd Joggler, you can probably still revive it. I had the above happening to me, and used a working efi boot chip from a friend and booted my 'dead' joggler with that. After that, I was able to reflash the original OS (as it would boot from USB again) and that was it, all working again....
