Hi Tibi,<br><br>I struggled with this last night as well and eventually got it to work. When it did finally work I realized that if I had followed the autoreinstallation instructions exactly the first time, it really should have worked properly.
<br><br>Some of my problems included:<br>1) I had a reinstallation UBS stick so the first time I just copied the nand528.img and .crc onto it and tried to boot off the stick. That doesn't work.<br>2) Then I looked at the .fth in the new .zip and realized that it was new and need to be copied to my USB boot directory as well. But at this point I had to downgrade to something earlier than 528 because the upgrade won't work if the image on the USB is the same or older than that on the laptop.
<br>3) During this downgrade I made the mistake of somehow getting the old .fth file back on my usb, so the upgrade to 528 still didn't activate.<br>4) I downgraded again; upgraded to 528 with the correct .fth, .img and .crc and this time it never asked me to reboot. When the image was finished upgrading, it rebooted itself; then I saw an activation process occurring; then it finished booting into sugar.
<br><br>Not sure why others are having so much trouble... but this is why it took me a few hours. Bottom line is that it really should work if all the pieces are there.<br><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">

<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Autoreinstallation_image" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">here</a> to upgrade the firmware of my B2 machine to Q2c18 and to install the latest 528 build of XO system.
<br>As Bert reported <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2315" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">here</a>,
after all the process worked just fine, after rebooting instead of
entering XO GUI, it said "Could not activate this XO" and the serail
number.
<br><br>Can anyone point me which is the latest build that works with
the latest olpc-auto.zip? Or maybe I've done smth wrong?? (which I
doubt actually)<br><br>Thank you in advance.<br>tb
