Preparing the ROM Tool
On The Mac
1. Start Terminal.app
2. Specify that you'd like to change directories. (Do not press return yet)
# cd
3. Drag the "ROM Tool" directory and drop on the Terminal window, and press return
# cd /Users/jdoe/Desktop/Nokia_770/ROM_Tool/
4. List the directory (just to be sure)
# ls
You should now see some filenames such as:
- flasher-2.0.macosx
- SU-18_2006SE_3.2006.49-2_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin
5. Make the ROM Tool executable
# chmod +x ./flasher-2.0.macosx
Flash the ROM with a fresh system
Before doing this, please take note that ALL internal memory (i.e. everything but the memory card) will be erased. The 770 will be reset to its factory fresh state.
