To my knowledge (please correct me if this is not true in all
conditions) there is no need to start the update BEFORE turning on the
device.
0) plug usb cable in
1) Press & hold the home key; turn on 770
2) 770 will not boot and wait indefinitely
3) start the flashing program

Tested with linux flasher. Windows flasher never worked for me.
