[RESOLVED] Help: save my dockstar

[mkid]

My dockstar "phone home" and not booting as expected.
I bought a CA-42 cable and managed to get the putty running with the serial cable connected.
booting sequence captured and shown below.

However, I don't know much about Linux but using a Windows XP machine.

I have search quite sometime to see if there are any simple step by step guide for using Windows to restore the firmware, but not finding any.

Can anyone help to look at the below and advise how I can restore to stock firmware.
then I would like to install plug linux to the USB and boot from there.

Is the uboot looks ok ?

[kmihelich]

You should be able to just extract to a properly formatted usb drive and go.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kmihelich', 'Y')ou should be able to just extract to a properly formatted usb drive and go.

Use another Linux box, you should be able to just extract the rootfs to a properly formatted usb drive and go.

[WarheadsSE]

As root though, not a regular user, or sudo.

[mkid]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'A')s root though, not a regular user, or sudo.

[WarheadsSE]

No.

Download the latest armv5te rootfs, boot into an ubunu live cd, or whatever, and extract it to the usb... as root.

I managed to use the serial cable to "restore" the uboot.

now can boot with the original kernal.

thanks all for the help.
