New page

=== Cold flashing (N900) ===

If the bootloader is deleted/destroyed with dd, then it is possible to recover it with a cold flash, get the COMBINED image and extract it.
flasher-3.5 -F image.bin -u

Run the following command for 2101 hardware revisions:
flasher-3.5 -c -h RX-51:2101 -2 2nd.bin-RX-51\:2101\,2102\,2103 -s secondary.bin-RX-51\:2101\,2102\,2103 -S usb

You will see output similar to this:
