udev does not work correctly so we have to trigger rules manually.

poweroff/reboot does not work correctly, it stops all the services but does not shutdown the device.

Also the device freezes after a few minutes. This seems to be caused by a modem failure:

Jan  1 01:59:59 localhost kern.err kernel: [  574.209688] SMSM: Modem SMSM state changed to SMSM_RESET.
Jan  1 01:59:59 localhost kern.err kernel: [  574.209948] Notify: start reset

How to enter flash mode

Press both volume keys + power key until you see the Geeksphone logo.
