This page is on how to re-flash an insecure laptop. |
|||
===Save your developer Key if you have one=== |
|||
# Determine whether you have a developer key or a non-write protected machine. |
|||
#* Start up the laptop, and press esc to get to the ok prompt when you get the chance. |
|||
#* If the screen you are at has a little XO person on it and an unlocked lock symbol, you're laptop has a developer key. |
|||
#*# You should save your developer key before re-flashing, as it will be overwritten. |
|||
#*# Boot fully into sugar. |
|||
#*# Insert a clean usb key. |
|||
#*# Go to the terminal, and type: |
|||
#*#* mkdir /media/{name_of_usbkey}/security |
|||
#*#* cp /security/develop.sig /media/{name_of_usbkey}/security/ |
|||
#*# Save this key for after you're done re-flashing, as you'll need to insert it to boot the laptop insecurely, and then you will want to copy it back to /security. |
|||
#* Otherwise, you're laptop is not write protected. |
|||
#** You can double check this by typing ok .mfg-data |
|||
#** The first thing listed should be 'ww' |
|||
# You can either follow the section below on doing an 'Insecure Re-flash,' or you can do a secure re-flash by following the instructions on [[Activated Upgrade]] under 'Upgrade the Activated Laptop' and replacing the key with lease.sig on it with your key that has /security/develop.sig on it. |
|||
#* Also note, that if you have a non-write protected machine, the firmware will not re-flash itself when you do a secure re-flash. The way to force this is to hold the 'x' button on bootup (with the key that has fs.zip and os{num}.img inserted). This will turn security on for just this boot, and the firmware will be re-flashed. |
|||
===Insecure Re-flash=== |
|||
# First ensure you have a power adapter AND battery plugged into the laptop. |
|||
# For B3 or B4 units that have a really old build (406.14), you need to first flash the firmware |
|||
## Press the power button and hold all four gamekeys; then hit ESC when you get the message that you have 3 seconds to hit escape. |
|||
## Insert a USB key with the latest [[Firmware]] on it |
|||
## At the OK prompt type: 'flash u:\{path_to_rom}' (EX: flash u:\q2d07.rom) |
|||
## When it powers down hold the power button until it stays off (it will want to reboot). |
|||
# To put the latest signed image on the laptop, follow these steps |
|||
## Create a USB key with the os{number}.img and fs.zip file at the root. |
|||
##* You can get these files from [http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/ official releases] |
|||
## Insert the usb key into the shut down laptop. |
|||
## If you are not up to the latest firmware, Power up the laptop while holding the X button (forces secure boot) |
|||
## When it says 'release the game keys', release the button. |
|||
##* The laptop will rewrite the flash and reboot the laptop. |
|||
##* Hit esc to get to the ok prompt, and powerdown the laptop (hold the power button) |
|||
## 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, and get to a prompt for a name. |
|||
## Press the Alt+Ctrl+Mesh keys together to get to the terminal, and check that the laptop is at the version you wanted. |
|||
## Type root, enter, and poweroff to shut down the laptop. |
|||
# To put a development build on the laptop, follow these steps |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
##* Specifically, the section [[Autoreinstallation image#Preparing the autoupdate image]] |
|||
## Insert the USB key into the laptop |
|||
## If you aren't at the latest firmware, follow the steps above for flashing the firmware on B3, B4, etc... |
|||
## Power up the laptop while holding the square button. |
|||
##* This will re-flash the nand image. |
|||
## When the laptop is done re-flashing, it will reboot the laptop up to the prompt for a name. |
|||
## Press the Alt+Ctrl+Mesh keys together to get to the terminal, and check that the laptop is at the version you wanted. |
|||
## Either shutdown the laptop by typing, root, enter, poweroff, or press Alt+Ctrl+Home to go back to the name prompt, and continue with the booting process. |
