This page describes how to re-flash a laptop that is write protected and not activated.
- Create a USB key with the os{number}.img and fs.zip file at the root.
- You can get these files from official releases
- With the usb key inserted, power up while holding all four game buttons.
- When it says 'release the game keys', release all buttons.
- This will re-write the nand image.
- Once done with the nand re-flash, the laptop will reboot itself.
- Next, the laptop may update the firmware, if necessary, and reboot itself.
- After done with the upgrade(s), the laptop will fail to boot due to not being activated.
