Hello!
I initially had a pogoplug that I had used the Qnology guide to install uboot about a year and a half ago, it worked great. Unfortunately, the pogo had an accident so I bought a new one (Pogoplug Mobile V4-A1-01). After trying to get SSH access and realizing I couldn't anymore, I bought a USB->TTL converter and wired it up and PuTTYed into it. Unfortunately, quickly into the process I realized Qnology's download links are no longer valid so I went ahead and started using the guide that is pinned at top of this page. Unfortunately it is not working and I think it may be related to it being a fresh flash? I'm not sure exactly what is going on but I keep getting an error. Namely:
Just some background, I'm completely Linux-tarded and terminal-tarded and kept noodling around with it, unzipped in windows then somehow managed to WGET the untarred file over to the TMP folder (at least, I thought I did).
Now getting the above error. I'm not sure exactly what I did wrong. I do think what happened was I was unsuccessful in getting the proper file over to the Pogo but I have no clue how to do it with terminal. I can't figure out how to WGET from my windows based computer, dropbox, or any of the other solutions I've tried (e.g. my router based NAS, any of the web based mirrors I've found.)
That's where I'm at and now I'm afraid to close the COM session or reboot my Pogo since I flash erased the POGO at this point. Hopefully my power doesn't go out or something. If anyone can help me or point me in the direction I need to go, it would be greatly appreciated. I tried reading over the directions in the pinned folder as carefully as possible but again, I'm linux-tarded and I don't think I did it right (I even had to google how to delete stuff in the linux terminal).
