on may 10, i made a linux flashing tool based on reversing the bootloader binary. it seems i forgot to post it here, so i am posting it now.
contrary to hacks like trying to write the firmware twice, this tool actually writes drive blocks in the sequence expected by the bootloader. it constructs an image of the drive, copies the firmware there, and then copies the necessary blocks back to the device.
this is untested (i do not have the device), but should work on one of the device versions, the one i was given an image of its drive. it only works with it because it is EXTREMELY cautious and checks everything about the disk before touching it. the tool can easily be extended to the other device version as soon as somebody provides a disk image for it.

if you test, please report how it went. if your device is not recognized, please post an image of you freshly plugged-in drive.
thanks!
