How to flash the SDHC kernel w/out connecting to a computer

From Internet Tablet Talk

This is one method of flashing the SDHC kernel w/out connecting your n800 to your computer. These instructions have been compiled from various ITT forum entries [1][2] and others.

Please note that the latest OS update provided by Nokia, maemo 3.2, includes SDHC support [3]. You may still want to patch your kernel though, and these directions still work for that.

You will need the following:

• Install Xterm [4]
• Install Becomeroot [5] or directly [6]
• Download Fanoush's flasher program: [7]
• Download the latest SDHC kernel, e.g., [8] or see [9].

Open xterm, go to your home directory /home/user just to be safe (do not enter $ :-)

    $ cd

copy the kernel file and kernel_flasher.tgz to your current directory, /path/to depend on where you saved those files: N800 icon = /home/user/MyDocs, Documents = /home/user/MyDocs/.documents, MMC card is /media/mmc1 or /media/mmc2, you may use TAB key to autocomplete file names, space and dot on the end of line is important. The example is for updating the previous version of maemo, so your kernel file may have a different name.

    $ cp /path/to/sdhc-kernel-3.2007.10.bin .
    $ cp /path/to/kernel_flasher.tgz .

unzip/tar the kernel_flasher.tgz file

    $ tar -zxf kernel_flasher.tgz

flash the kernel

    $ ./kernel_flasher/kernel_flash sdhc-kernel-3.2007.10.bin

you will be prompted with a yes or no question - type yes. reboot to enable the SDHC support.
