You mean the change of partition type?
That does not require formatting or anything, it is just a flag change.

Yes I mean fixing these problems:

Also you mention that you have changed thr FS on your mmcblk0p1 to ext2 but it still says "W95 FAT32" in the partition type.

How I can fix it? I'm sorry that I have not enough knowledge to fix it with anyway

You can fix those either with sfdisk or fdisk in ubiboot repair mode. (of course being careful)

Thanks

To change the partition type using fdisk (I mean the one you can usually find in GNU/Linux OSes), you can run fdisk and then use command 't' to change the type to Linux, for which you should enter '83' (83 is the partition type for regular Linux partitions).

Where can i find Ubuntu OS for ubiboot for my n950?

How to install sailfish OS too with ubiboot?

I have installed zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_301013.

there is no ubuntu for N9, and sailfish installing same way as nemo: repartition and extract image.

Then you need to repartition the device, just like when you repartitioned it before, when you chipped ALT_OS off from MyDocs.

For example, I have 6 different usable partitions on my device which is the maximum you can do with old-dos-style partitioning to physical and logical partitions.

juiceme, what about stuff for booting from an image, not partition?

Alt_OS is just a label of partition

I boot both SFOS and Nemo from image files without touching my partition table (not an 'interesting' idea for a 16GB N9).

Yes, it is also possible to do that, using the clever hack by @hedayat.

I meant to integrate that into the mainline ubiboot but for the usual reasons of not having enough time have not managed to do it yet :o
