New Italian Distribution for Openmoko Freerunner based on oFono and FSO frameworks. oFono is opensource telephony framework, whose development is sponsored by Intel and Nokia.
You need to download dfu-util, kernel and root filesystem. (for windows users: download dfu-util.exe and copy to x:/windows). Plug your FreeRunner into a USB port and boot it into the nand boot loader, hold down the aux button and then the power button until NOR appears.
flash in shell :
dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D nde-om-gta02.jffs2
and then
dfu-util -a kernel -R -D uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin
reboot Openmoko Neo Freerunner .

Download dfu-util and copy to /usr/bin (if you are windows user then you need to download dfu-util.exe and copy to x:/windows), kernel and rootFS. Plug your FreeRunner into a USB port and boot it into the nand boot loader, hold down the aux button and then the power button until nor appears. The FreeRunner will only stay in in the nand boot loader state installer for about 30 seconds with no activity. You have 30 sec to start flashing kernel or rootFS .
flash kernel
dfu-util -a kernel -R -D uImage-v19.bin
and then rootFS
dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D qtmoko-debian-v19.jffs2
After finishing the installation you have to start the freerunner and calibrate the touch screen.
You should have FAT as first partition and swap on /dev/mmcblk0p4.
Can be changed in /etc/fstab
QtMoko is a Debian-based distribution for the Openmoko Freerunner phone. Phone and user interface are based on QT Extended, formerly known as Qtopia. Currently QtMoko is provided with two kernels – one vanilla andy-tracking with debugging stuff and one with stripped config. The first one is slow but stable. The second one is fast, but it can have problems with switching to QVGA (WSOD) and sometimes wifi does not work (Suspend/resume can fix it). You can decide which one you want to use. Just flash your favorite kernel (for jffs image) or change the symlink in /boot (for SD card image). There is a dirty hack for displaying undelivered SMS – you have to restart Qtopia. As for the changes – credits go to Jeroen for fixing bugs and Esteban for translations, thanks a lot! Changes from previous version:
- Spanish translation (Esteban Monge)
- Fixed compiling on systems with QT 4.6
- Fixed freeze while removing wifi-settings (Jeroen Nijhof)
- Fixed bing fonts in SMS email and others (Jeroen Nijhof)
- Fixed saving suspend interval in power management (Jeroen Nijhof)
- NeronGPS and Arora in default installation
- Removed some demos and not working apps
- QX now suspends on call or when SMS arrives
- Workaround for incoming SMS bug
- Two kernels. Slow with debug, fast with nodebug
- Fixed web browser crashes
- Downgrade to QT 4.5.3
