Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

have not followed this thread well enought to know, do I have to flash 770? I now have a multiboot initfs and os2006

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

solca, would you like to give some instruction to let the device communicate with adb in either windows or linux? Thanks.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

The ADB you can download from NITdroid page, works in linux, download untar and run: adb shell to get the android commandline.

I uploaded new video that quikly shows web-browsing in nitdroid:

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

I have and N800 and all I get is the flashing green Android for about 2 minutes then is starts over again...any ideas?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

try re-unpacking the tar.bz2 to a clean ext3 partition with "tar -jxvf <file>" command

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

I have a 770 and i'm ready to try running nitdroid with it.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Good luck :)

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

It seems quite faster than microb, is it really?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Excellent! will compile a new debugging kernel which I'll link here with support for N770 and let's see how far we go.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Hey Solca, I got NITdroid installed on my N800. However, there's a major issue. When it tries to boot up, it ends with a kernel panic as it cannot execute /init. What would the problem be, or am I just too stupid to properly move files?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Did you untar the rootfs to your mounted partition using tar -jxvf??
If so, try chmod a+rx /init and see if that helps.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Are you sure you unpacked rootfs to internal card partition 3?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

I have the same problem with my n800.

This is the results after I untar the rootfs under Ubuntu.

Do this only work on an n810?

Has anyone else installed this on an n800?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Thanks solca for this port.
It did not work on my n800.
The green thing blinks and blinks and then restarts the device (probably the watchdog?)
I'm going to fetch the verbose kernel.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

People with N770 and N800 please test the new debugging kernels at the downloads section and report back.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Just a quick question - which partition for the 770?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

First let see if it runs the kernel, it must end with a kernel panic if there is not /init on mmcblk0p3.

BTW which partition options are for the N770?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

I'm using a separate card ('cause the maximum is 2GB, so 0p1 for me :)

I tried for a week to get a 8GB sdhc running, but to no avail yet :(

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

How to connect to the device with adb - it only shows white screen with Nokia logo on it for 20-30 seconds, then goes off.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

The kernel when booting should show you a Tux image at the top, this probably means that it didn't even boot the kernel, will try making a new one.

UPDATE: please test new kernel for N770 (v2)

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Is this a Diablo or Chinook device? I had the same issue with a Chinook device. It appears that the Chinook boot loader doesn't allow for a kernel that big.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

One guy talking on google groups had similar issue, flash the whole device to latest .bin provided by nokia, then try again. That helped with him, i hope it works for you too

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

I was talking about 770... Guess how much Diablo it has :D

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

I am using the miniSD comes with my original N800, which is only 128MB, you can use the fdisk to create the 3rd master partition directly.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

One is about moving to proper part of kernel which means ALSA (which you can use) so this part should now be in ALSA. The other one is unused code. But one could readd these patches in a later kernel if necessary.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

I was still talking about my 770. :D

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

I saw that Solca updated the debugging kernel for 770. Unfortunately this version doesn't work too. This time the Nokia logo fades to white screen and that's it :) After 20-30 seconds the device shuts down.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

did you flash the latest firmware?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

What firmware would that be?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

i have no idea :D

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Well, regarding the fact that the Chinook boot loader seems too old and OS2008HE is based on Chinook, I suppose there is no "latest firmware" available for 770 which can run the big kernel. :(

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

I spoke too soon - there's something else - after it fades to white and after a while, a faint blue line appears in the middle of the screen and seems like it is moving very slowly to the left. Then right before the device shuts down the blue line disappears... The line looks like the Nokia logo is compressed to one pixel row with a noise effect :)

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

New kernels based on 2.6.28-rc8, the N770 is 1.3MB so I think it should not bother the Chinook bootloader.

Update: new filesystem with enhancements :)
As a workaroung enable R&D to prevent turn off crash.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

RC8 is acting the same as the first one... Nokia logo for 30 seconds and shutdown.

The new userspace doesn't help either :)

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

RC8 is worse than RC7. On startup, three errors occur (media messaging and acore). Then, WiFi does not even turn on, browser just crashes, feels slower, bah....

I wonder what the problem is...

Also, how do you transfer files to the device's SD card? It does not show up as a drive when plugged in.

Edit: Off topic, but in the Linux flasher, when I try to flash the stock kernel back, I get a "usb bulk write" resource unavailable or something like that. This means I have to do a full reflash from windows to restore the device. Very annoying to say the least. Is there a fix for this?

I also found an interesting problem, it does not boot with the USB plugged in sometimes.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Wait, wait. Someone here has a Linux kernel 2.6.28 working on a N8x0 with WiFi enabled? Am I correct? True??? :eek:

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

i cant open the NITdroid page....nor guug.org, is there anything wrong?

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

allnameswereout: that's true :)

cold: it works here

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

weird, i must have some kind of firewall then...it's unable to determine the host's IP.. been trying for 3 days now and with FF, Chrome and IE7 :S

El URL solicitado no se ha podido conseguir
