Indeed, I tried to read the whole device with sfdisk (cannot read device) and testdisk (device does not show up at all). And after some time, the device even vanished out of /dev. I think that is connected to the kernel message: "[ 208.476565] usb 2-2: USB disconnect, device number 5"

I think I'll give that a try... can't get worse

Is the serial console enabled with MALF and MOSLO kernel or even with NOKIA kernel? I stumbled over a R&D flag in flasher:

Code:

flasher --set-rd-flags=serial-console

I suppose that flag must be set? Apart from that, can you direct me to some link... okay, searching TMO helps. I found your post (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...39&postcount=2) giving the essentials

I really hope that that's the case, and the flash memory is still fine!

Fine, I used Debian and Gentoo kernels, but no one from Ubuntu. I'll try that first. Unfortunately I have no other device I can test with, but thanks for the explicit Ubuntu version number!
