We were using u-boot, kernel and rootfs images from http://people.openmoko.org/werner/devirginate-20070301.tar.gz to pre-install the devices. This is a self-contained devirginator snapshot, and can be used at any given time to fully restore the phone (complete loss of data is implied). This is how to restore the phone:

Download to the Linux PC that will do the installation.

Go to a convenient directory, then

tar xfz devirginate-20070301.tar.gz

Enter the directory:

cd devirginate-20070301

Disconnect everything:

• the USB connector of the debug v2 board from the PC
• the USB cable from the Neo
• remove the battery

Connect the Neo to the debug v2 board.

Connect USB of the debug v2 board to the PC.

If you have a serial console, start it now. The device should be something like /dev/ttyUSB0.

Connect the USB cable of the Neo.

Insert the battery.

Power on the Neo. (If it has powered on by itself, that's okay.)

Start OpenOCD (if you have a local openocd.cfg, please use that one):

tmp/openocd -f tmp/openocd-debugv2.cfg

OpenOCD should print one line (below) and keep running:

Info:    openocd.c:84 main(): Open On-Chip Debugger (2007-01-31 12:00 CET)

If OpenOCD prints an error, please disconnect the USB cable of debug v2 from the PC, connect it again, then restart OpenOCD.

In another window, start the install script:

./devirginate -0 -1 -2

Watch the screen of the Neo. The following things should happen:

• it turns on, showing weird things for about 10-30 seconds
• the screen goes dark for 1-2 minutes
• the screen lights up and shows a smiling face for a few minutes
• the screen goes dark and shows a partial (broken) OpenMoko logo for about 5-10 seconds
• the screen goes dark again, then shows the full OpenMoko logo
• the machine will boot Linux now and start touch screen calibration

Errata

• u-boot can power-off the phone while in DFU mode
