RE: URGENT! bootloader help needed

Travis,

Are you still waiting on this?

The 009A009A is a status from the flash chips, which indicates the chips
are not in read mode. qflash 2 should put them back in read mode (after
putting them in query mode). Then do the peek flash 0 and peek flash
0x20 again and proceeed accordingly.
