If the flashing your u-boot partition is interrupted, you can end up with an unbootable device, which can only be recovered with a debug board. If possible, don't do it unless you either have a debug board or live near someone who has one. Always do it with a battery-backed computer (either a notebook or a computer on a UPS), in case the power goes out.
Wrong commands on the u-boot environment can make u-boot malfunction, with the same consequences as above. If you are lucky, you can still boot and overwrite it with a sane copy from within linux; if you are unlucky, you need a debug board. Always double-check (with printenv
) what you have done before doing a saveenv
. In particular, always double-check if you didn't mistype a number; see Bricked for an example.
The correct command is "nand erase rootfs" (or whatever the partition you want to erase is).
Unless you want very scary noises and strange smells coming from your phone.
