    QtMoko v15 release, upgraded to QT 4.6, qvga does not flicker, using unicode for reading from SIM, wlan fixes, apt-get upgrade fixed, smaller, better GPRS, translations to czech, german, italian and russian language.

    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-v15.bin

    and then rootFS

    dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D qtmoko-debian-v15.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
