New Joggler not updating o2 software

[ddad0f3monsters]

Hi
I have just aquired a warranty replacement joggler from a family memebr who has no interest in using it. I have a couple of queries that im hoping some of the good people here can help with. As it stands at the moment the joggler is in a new condition i have just plugged in an ethernet cable to test its working as it should. The issue is the joggler is currently running software version 19931.R3c (Oct 7 2009:04:46:20) despite being plugged in for the last 30odd hours it has showed no sing of updating itself.

Now, im keen to get cracking on fiddling with my new toy and have been having a good read of the Wiki.

but first a couple of questions.

can i manually get it to update? im a little unsure if i install the plug and pimp stuff and the o2 update finally kicks in will it mess the lot up?
can i install one of the linux flavours without the o2 software being up to date?

Thanks for taking the time to read this

Boot into one of the Ubuntu distros using a USB stick so that you have the time to do the following. Do one line at a time,it seems to hang but give it time and it works no problem.

Code:

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1107587/app-o2flash-26635.8686-S3-f1-reimage.tgz
tar xvfz app-o2flash-26635.8686-S3-f1-reimage.tgz
sudo su
tools/bin/partimage -z2 restore /dev/mmcblk0p2 payload/image.myg
tools/bin/partimage -z2 restore /dev/mmcblk0p3 payload/image.myg
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
cp payload/vmlinux /mnt/vmlinux0
cp payload/vmlinux /mnt/vmlinux1
cd /mnt
md5sum vmlinux0 >>sum0
md5sum vmlinux1 >>sum1
sed -i '3d' sum0
sed -i '3d' sum1
reboot

cd /mnt

I can confirm that replacing the O2 software using one of the USB distros is now probably the only way to get the Joggler working from new. I also had a warranty replacement Joggler which was stuck at the auto-update screen. Despite many suggestions that re-booting would fix the problem, it didn't; there was no way to run anything except off a USB stick. After the suggested fix, everything worked briliantly.

Quite ironic that a hack was the only way to restore the official software.

I must stress though that you should be patient; after executing a command wait as long as it takes for the command prompt to appear again; it's the only confirmation you'll get that the execution has worked and you'll be working with a large image file so commands will take a while to run.

Thanks both of you for this really useful info.
I'll be attepting this over the weekend & ill let you all know how it goes. The irony of the situation has not been lost on me eiither.

Thank you

..... so what are you planning to do with it now? Not keep it standard surely?

Hi

I just summoned up the courage to do this on a PMJ'd joggler that was stuck in the updating loop - sadly it now won't get past the o2 logo screen. Can anyone help?

Thaks

Will it boot into one of the linux distros from USB? If so, follow the above instructions again one line at a time. There is a possibility that the image could have become corrupted during download and going through the process again might fix things.

I know this because it happened to me once.

I don't know if anyone is still looking at this post, I have a problem with the current instructions.. I'm being told that responce is 404 not found. Has the original file now been removed, if so is there an alternative way of getting the update.

To get my joggler working I have ubuntu running off a pendrive, going through a 4 port powered usb hub making it possible to use a keyboard at the same time.

Would it be possible to find the image for the joggler and install it from a 2nd pendrive?
