It should be all one line, from the "for.." to the "...done".

However, while those files exist, I just tried it as root... it works(it changes the values), but doesn't seem to do anything. Unless you try with the keyboard half closed(with the lights by default off), then it blinks.
Makes me think that something else is controlling those lights by default, at least in Maemo.

In Bootloader mode, it should work.



edit:
Ok, question for you all:
I'm going to be splitting up my massive shell script into smaller "includes", and I'll have 6-12 smaller sh files.
Where should I put them? - Whats the "appropriate" place to put them, on the rootfs?

Great works Robbie :eek:

I'll suggest to put them in a simple new directory called beckupmenu in the main root :p
Or maybe in a directory in /usr/share .. where there are the directory of a lot of programs :)

By the way ... we all are waiting for your gorgeous work :cool:
In my small community i'm continuing to record
cases of successes and failures due to errors, seemingly always related to bad sectors ..

It seems that restoration is successfull on 50% of devices.

Yea, the /usr/share/ is probably the best option, but I don't know much about where you are "supposed" to stick such files, though that looks like it.

Hm, that's interesting.

But I -am- rebuilding it, with new, better methods. I actually got it to backup once, but now I have to figure out why tar stopped backing up with a read-error. *sigh*.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - Backup & restore OS images(+ other features)
 
ps: is there a way to fix the problem of the "version" of the system.. ?
Flashing with the fiasco, the system informations (firmware pr ecc ecc )
..
Flashing with a custom image it doesn't .. :/
There shopuld be a file somewhere in some other partition ...
That fu.cked chip has 1 thousand partitions -.-'''
The one for the root ... the one for the kernel ... some other one per these informations.. 2 balls -.-

Wait, what exactly are you talking about?
The firmware version?
Have you tried installing a new kernel(or reinstalling the current one) to see if that fixes it?

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - Backup & restore OS images(+ other features)
 
The same with every kernel :/

Even flashing with a clean root image created with backupmenu... no informations in the menu /settings/informations (i don't know the exactly english traduction in maemo ... but you have already understood me) .

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - Backup & restore OS images(+ other features)
 
So a device at PR1.1, when flashed with a PR1.2 image doesn't have information in some info screens...?

If so, this isn't an issue. PR1.1 and PR1.2 are different; PR1.2 updates the firmware of several pieces of hardware in the N900 like the GSM chip.
You would probably want to flash PR1.2, then load the image.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - Backup & restore OS images(+ other features)
 
Flashing with the fiasco yes, the informations appear.
But flashing with a custom root made by backupmenu (even if this "custom root" isn't really customized, but only cleaned) , with no variations of kernel .. the informations don't appear ..

It seems that something more is flashed with the fiasco ...
Some files put somewhere in the chip .. but not in the common partition that we call root..
Like it happens with the kernel (but it isn't the same of the kernel because even not touching it, the problem remains)

Wait. Can you tell me the exact steps needed to reproduce this issue? Like "install this", "copy this", "go to settings > x > y"?
