There is also a Visual Guide to Flashing Slot 0 without JTAG with pictures, that also goes through the process explained below. |
This method is recommended, even if you have a JTAG. Why? Because we want you to test this procedure for all the people out there that don’t own a JTAG. And as you have a JTAG, you can recover even if something goes bad!
