How to Restore a Guruplug using Usb.

This guide does assume that uboot is working on the plug. If the plug is bricked then OpenOcd is probably the place to start.
You will need to download the linked files onto a usb stick for this.
The versions are slightly newer than on the Standard Guruplug but these seem to be the official version if you follow the Download link from the Globalscales site.

If you are using a Guru Standard you will need to use usb 0:1 instead of usb 1:1 for the plus.
uboot variables will not be updated but you can find the Factory defaults listed here.

It appears the above links are dead.

Can you point me to some live ones?

Thanks

I managed to restore my Guru Plug using the above instructions. At first it seemed that the kernel was not working, it kept rebooting. Turned out that the plug was too hot; leaving it to cool down for a few minutes and then plugging it back in did the trick.

BTW, looks like you´ve sold us a useless device. What good is a plug computer if you can´t keep it plugged in because of overheating?
